DEFENSE DAY TEST - AMISEXPLAINED Upheld as Precautionary Measure at Army Night Program at Central. Aims _and objects of National De- fense Test day were explained to a large audience in Central High School Stadium last night, at an Army night program, staged under the joint auspices of the community centers department of the school system and the United States Army. Lieut. Col. John Scott, executive offi- cer of the Washington units of the Or- ganized Reserves; Ingineer Commis- sioner J. Franklin Bell and Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, commander of the 29th Division of the National Guard, which includes that of the District, were the speakers. ‘ol. Scott declared that local citizen- soldiers are proud of their commis- sions and service in the Army, but that they know the lessons of history, and while desiring to avoid war, still recog- nize the fact that human nature has| not changed since 1914. “They hope,” said he, “that human nature ‘will never xo change that red- blooded men will be unwilling to fight for their country, loved ones and liberty.” First Test, Bell Says, Commissioner Bell said that on September 12, America would have the first test of the Natlonal defense plan, as evolved by Congress in the National Defense act four years ago. He pointed out that this plan is the work of the best though of legis- lators and military leaders of the Na- tion, but emphasized the fact that the test is not a militaristic movement, but exactly the opposite. "It is a part of a thoroughly considered plan,” he said, “to provide for the defense of thhe Nation without creating a large permanently armed force.” Gen. Stephan made a plea for vol- untee: He gave a short history of the National Guard since its organi- zation in 1387 and showed that during the World War more than 500 Army officers were supplied by it He de- clared that unpreparedness at the be- ginning of each war necessitated reck- less expenditure of money, enormous loss of materials and inexcusable sec- rifice of life.

WINS PENNANT Umpire Evans Praises Nationals’ Bid for Leadership in Talk “to Lions Club. It would be & good thing for base ball if the Washington team should win the American League. pennant, Umpire “Billy” Evans told the Lions Club yesterday at the New Willard Hotel. Explaining that he was not saying he “hoped” the Washington team would capture the prize, he, never- theless, declared that such a victory by a team which “for years has been in a lowly position” would be “well received all over the country.” “I think that the Washington club has added the real thrill to the Amer- fcan League race this year,” he sald. “I was with them when they went to first place, & position a Washington club never held before at that late date in the season. It is still in a place where it is a strong contender for the American League pennant. If 1t could win it would do base ball a lot of good.” This was predicated, he said, on the situation which for the last few years has revolved agound the New York teams. “The old chestnut, ‘First in wa first in peace, and last in the Amer- ican League, cannot be applied this year to the Washington Club. It has proved to be a courageous club, led by courageous leadership. When, in a strategic place in the race for first place, the team dropped five games straight to St. Louls, that was a blow, which would have caused many a club to quit fighting. But Wasning- ton did not quit. Leonard De Gast, secretary of the club, performed the feat of naming each member present and classifica- tion as well. George Du Bols, captain of Com- pany A, 343rd Engineers, explained the purposes of the defense test, Sep- tember 12, and asked Lions to par- ticipate. Roger J.
