Only 3 of United Nations Battling All of Axis This story is intended for those persons unable to remember who is fighting whom in this war, in- volving 24 powers grouped under the banner of the United Nations and eight axis countries. You can't being' baffled, and even government of- ficlals have to refer to the records from time to time to refresh their memory, y It's hard to believe at first, but a check of the records shows that only three United Nations, the uBritish Empire, China and Czecho- Blovakia, have declared war on the whole axis tribe--Germany, Italy, Japan, Finland, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Siam. Through the rest of the list there are exceptions and curlogities, some of which can- be explained by lack of peacetime diplomatic relations or other strange compli- cations. The United States, for instance, has declared war on all axis pow- ers except Finland. America, fit was explained, has always hoped that Finland, which never failed to pay the interest on her war debts, would make a separate peace. How Russla Stands Russia still maintains relations with Japan and therefore with the Japanese puppet state of Siam. And the Soviet Union also is at peace with Bulgaria, which provid. ed Hitler with no troops for his eastern front. It would he giffl- cult for the Bulgarian Parliament, which sits In a building faced by a great monument commemorat- ing the liberation of its country by the Russians fn 1878, to -de- clarg war on Russia. Belgium and The Netherlands, big colonial powers, have declared war only on the three major axis partners, Germany, Italy ang Ja- pan, which threaten their over- seas heritage. Norway, playing an important role in the conflict, and little "Luxembourg, have declared war only on Germany. Greece Is content with Germany and Italy as enemies. There was only one Finnish citizen, a lumber merchant, in Greece when the Germans invaded the Balkans, and he was too' busy trying to get away to spare time for carrying warlike declarations to the Greeks, Yugoslavia, too, Is at peace with Finland and Siam. Italy and Poland There 1s still a Polish repre- sentative in 'Rome, ag Mussolini, with the Vatican at his elbow, didn't care to declare war 'on the millions of Polish Catholics suf- fering under German persecution. The Poles, however, declared war on Japan, as well as being enemies of Germany. Other countries at war with the three big axis nations are Eth. fopia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, *, Panama and Salvador. In addition, .. Halti and Nicaragua also took on Rumania, Hungary -and Bulgaria, and Costa Rica clashed as well with Hungary and Rumania. Coun- tries which have severed rela- tions" with the axis, but have not declared war, include Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, - Paraguay, Uriguay, Chile, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, . Then there's Nazi-controlled France, which has no diplomatic relations with most of the United Natlons, yet watches Frenchmen outside the grip of the axis fight- ing for freedom, - Booty Recovered From Ocean Bed Salvage Ranges From Bulls to Beer, Soap and Silk British salvage operators are reaping from the ocein hed a rich harvest of supplies and war materials, A, By far their biggest recent haul is the 13,000. tons' of steel already cut away from the fire-gutted training ship Caledonia, the former linef* Majestic, now being broken up on the floor of the Firth of Forth, Booty recovered runs from bulls to beer to soap, including army trucks, motorcycles, flour, cloth, silk, tobacco, canned food and nickel, i " ' One hip's hold was full of pack. ages of soap.

' olany radio fans who make a habit of listening in during the late" evening, particularly be- tween 11 o'clock and midnight will have noticed that the Ameri- can networks, to a great extent, have discontinued dance music in favour of other types of enter- tainment. The National Broad- casting Company has been putting on quite an extensive series of dramatic plays, 'while the Colum- bia Broadcasting System 'has pre- sented a number of programmes of symphonic music. Why the change? People have been ask- ing whether it has been brought about as tie resut of representa- tions from a growing group of listeners who lately have been ex- pressing the view that there is too much "jazz," too much *'popu- lar' music on the air, not only in the late evening, but most of the rest of the day. That may have been partly the reason. In the main however, the change in the type of broadcasting schedules in the late evening and early hours of the morning is more a reflec. tion of changing listener habits, a direct outcome of war-time con- ditions, FI . Perhaps the greatest of these influences is related to the "shift" system which now is in effect in most of the war production plants of North America . . ., a plan duty during day shifts, and peri- work. This has had the effect of "staggering" the hours at which listening to the radio. So, with the idea of providing as much programme variety as possible at all hours of the day and night, the dance music, a normal char- acteristic of peace-time pro- grammes surrounding the mid- night hour has had to make way for other types of entertainment. Then again, many of the better class dance bands which were featured on the networks late at night, have enlisted for service with the active forces as complete units of entertainment, and as such are frequently not available for broadcasts. Ealumbia has re- . cently added to its late evening schedule a very fine symphony programme, heard every Tuesday evening over the network of which CFRB, Toronto is the Ontario out- let, Tuesday evenings 11.30 to 12 midnight, The dramatic sequences originating in the N.B.C. studios, several evenings around the same hour, are also heing cordially re- ceived. ' * * * "R.C.A.F. Tour for Talent." Such is the name of a brand new programme which will go" on the air for the first time, Sunday evening 8.30 to 9 o'clock over CFRB, Toronto. From then on ning feature, It takes the form of a glorified amateur show, with the well known Ken Soble as Mas- ter of Ceremonies. Any man in the R.C.A.F. or a member of his family may compete. for the valu- able prizes which are awarded to those 'contestants who are greeted with the greatest acclaim' from the listener. As a gesture of war service, everything is donated free. CFRB provides the station facilities without charge. Ken --.Joble and staff contribute their services, The prizes are donated by public spirited business organ- izations. . The programmes will originate from the R.C.A.F.

Mark 16:6. Memory Verse: Thou art nigh, O Jehovah, Psalm 119:161, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-- The resurrection of our Lord 'took place on Sunday morn- ing, April 9, A.D, 30. Place.--We do not know exact- ly' where the burial and resurree- tion of our Lord took place, but we do know that he was buried in the rock tomb of Joseph of Ari- mathea outside the city wall of Jerusalem, which undoubtedly means north of the city and near the place where He was crucified, The Tomb ls Empty "Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb, She runneth therefore, und cometh to Simon Peter and to the other dis- ciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, they have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him." Mary Magdalene naturally thinke.that the Jews, not satisfied with killing Jesus, have taken away his body, Mary's Report Confirmed. "Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. And they yin both together: and the other bh outran Peter, and cameo first to the tomb and stooping, and looking in, he seeth the linen --cloths lying; vet entered he not in. Simon. Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and en- tered into the tomb; and he be- holdeth the linen cloths lying." The linen bands Jay just as they had been wound about the limbs and the body, only the body was no longer in them. Both their presence. and their undisturbed condition spoke volumes. Jesus was risen from the dead. "And the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place ,by_ itself," - and the bands had been up, neither would indicate the miracle of the resurrection. Then Peter and John would conclude only that friendly human hands had unclothed the dead body for _gome strange reason and had taken it away. 3 Mary's Sorrow "But Mary was standing with- out at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb." On that Easter morning Peter and John. went to théir homes and only a woman lingered by the grave. Mary simply replied 'I cannot go.' She must linger and watch. No one doubts the love of Peter and John for Jesus, but there is not a dis- ciple who can match the love of Mary. Mary and the Angels "And she beholdeth two angels In white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, woman, why weep- est thou? She saith, unto them, Because they hate Jtaken away my Lord, and I kndw not where they have laid him." That one of the angels was at the head and 'the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain is to be regarded as expressive of the fact that the body was wholly under the guardianship of heaven. - A Mary Knew Not Jesus "When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and behold- 'eth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus." Now it may be that our Lord was greatly folded " changed, because we read else- where that the two who walked with him on the Emmaus road did not know him (Luke 24:16) but we must not place too much em- phasis upon the failure of the dis- eiples at times to recognize thelr Lord. Ts it not true, even in the days before His resurrection when Heo walked t¥the disciples on the water, that they seemed not to "have recognized that it was the Lord, but thought it was His spirit. Mary may have failed to recognize Him because her eyes were filled with tears. She Is simply aware of a man behind her and is too much preoccupied with her thoughts to look closely. If both the headecloth - Mary Recognizes Jesus ¢Jesus saith unto her, Woman why weepest thou? Whom séek- est thou?' . The question, "Why weepeat thou?" is invested with a power of sympathy by the further question, 'Whom seekest thou? "She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto-him, Sir, if thou hast born him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus eaith unto her, Mary. She turned her- self, and saith unto him in He- brew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher." We eannot doubt thgy there would be more of the old tenderness of Jesus in the pro- nunciation of her name. than in the words as yet spoken to her. The very mark, indeed, of the relation bdtween Jesus and Mis people, when that relation is con- ceived of 4n its most tender form, is that 'he calleth his own sheep by name." We are not to imagine that it is only the sound Jf the voice that is now recognized by Mary. By the name, by the tone in which the name is uttered, a whole flood of recollections {¥ brought up. All the deepest and most solemn impressions that had been produced upon her by her former intercourse with Jesus are reawakened in power. She recalls not merely what was most human but what was most divine in Him. Christ's Chosen Agent "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God." Mary Magdalene was not one of the apostles, neither did she, as far as we know, and as far as the custom of the early Church would seem to imply, become a great preacher or herald of the gospel, but she was used by the Lord to bring the first message of His resmrrection to the dis- ciples, thus confirming their faith and establishing their hope. So, many a godly woman, while not appearing in pulpits, or moving great multitudes with powerful preaching, has been enabled, hy teaching her own children, or teaching a Sunday School class, to be the divinely chosen agent through whom Christ has implant- Europe Suffers Livestock Losses The estimated decline of lve stock fn enemy-occupied Allied countries as a result of lack of teeding-stuffe, requisitioning, and slaughter is 'about 11,000,000 cattle, 3,000,000 horses, 12,000,000 pige 11,000,000 sheep. These figures were revealed in a report prepared by Allied agri cultural experts and considered by the Technical Advisory Commits tee on Agriculture in London last week, The report says Apat the decline constitutes a very serlous menace both to post-war food supe plies and to future of European agriculture. Milk "production has gone down by more than a third, and - meat production by nearly half, Recovery to pre-war npumse bers of breeding animals will take many years, and the lack of draught animals may be a serlous hindrdnce to cultivation for the first post-war harvest. .
