to Serve Again Annual Institute
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—(U.R) —Selectees and national guardsmen are being” asked to re-enlist in the regular army for three-year terms with the understanding that they will serve overseas if necessary, the war department revealed tonight.
Officials explained there were no plans now to send troops to distant non-American points, but that they wished to be ready for
any contingency.
Present law forbids sending selectees and guardsmen outside the western hemisphere or U. S. territorial possessions. The new move is designed to avoid any difficulty that might arise from the law, spokesmen said.
It was pointed out that statutory limitations have handicapped the army in providing necessary manpower for emergency use at outlying posts, even in the western hemisphere.
The 30-month limitation on service of selectees and guardsmen often has made it unwise to dispatch them to distant American points, it was explained, because by the time the men are sufficiently trained and readjusted it is time for their release.
Dr. Neumeyer Speaks Today in Bowne Hall
Illustrating parallel development of religion and democracy, Dr. Martin H. Neumeyer, professor of sociology, presents the third in a weekly series of lectures sponsored by the student council on religion today at 12:30 p.m. in Bowne hall.
In his presentation, “The Role of Religion in a Democratic Society,” Dr. . Neumeyer develops a relationship between the freedom of citizens in their political life and freedom in religious life.
“The religions of the western world have been closely identified with the struggle of democracy,” said the professor. “Religion may be promoted by dictatorial or autocratic governments, but jt is usually twisted to suit the purpose of the government, thus losing its high quality.”
This lecture series, in line with the expanding program of the council of religion, is presented with the cooperation of other schools and departments.
The School of Music will furnish a prelude for this event when Betty Hoch sings “O Love that Will Not Let Me Go.” Mildred Eberhard, vice-president of ASSC and recently elected vice-president of the student council of religion, will introduce the speaker.
ASSC Senate Convenes
The student senate will meet tonight at 7 in 418 Student Union, Sydney Barton, ASSC president, announced yesterday. The regular Tuesday night meeting was postponed because of the Armistice day holiday, Barton said.

Orthodontics Lecture Given by Atkinson
Members of Phi Sigma, honorary biology fraternity, will hear Dr. Spencer R. Atkinson, professor of orthodontics, explain the science of orthodontia in a lecture tomorrow night at 8 in 145 Hancock hall.
Designed for the enlightenment of the public, the series of lectures offered by the honorary intends to supply information of a simplified but specific nature on scientific subjects.
PURPOSE DEFINED
Dr. Atkinson will analyze the development of tjbe jaw in relation to the growth and changes of the teeth. He will explain the various developments in the dental anatomy which tend to mould and shape the features of the face.
Calcium layers formed in the prenatal stages are the basis for the tooth buds, the professor said.
He added that the structure of the jaw remains in a plastic condition through early childhood and this enables thumb-sucking to produce the effect of protruding upper teeth.
GROWTH ANALYZED
Changes in anatomical landmarks such as the sinuses, tooth buds, and the growth of the jaw will be illustrated in the lantern slides which Dr. Atkinson will show at the lecture.
An election of new officers will complete the business of the meeting.
Architects Hear John Hackstaff
John Hackstaff, consulting engineer and secretary of the planning section of Town Hall, will speak to members of the College of Architecture today at 4:15 p.m. in Harris hall.
Preceding this regular Thursday afternoon lecture, Gerald Bense, president of the college, and Miss Ruth Palmer will act as host and hostess at the Fisher art gallery tea. Engineering students are invited to attend the address after the tea.
A graduate of Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N. J., Hackstaff was consulting engineer in Los Angeles for national gas industries. He is also an active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Offensive
Foreseen
RAF Attacks Naples; U.S. War Materials Spur British Hope
LONDON, Nov. 12— (U.P.)— Military experts said tonight that Britain’s air-sea offensive in the Mediterranean zone, maintained with a fourth straight raid on Naples last night, might be the prelude to big-scale hostilities in north Africa with American equipment taking a vital role.
A competent American source said United States lend-lease material was pouring into Britain and the middle east at a rate of $130,000,000 a month, and the average was expected to rise steeply after the revision of the neutrality act.
MATERIALS DELIVERED
The prospective release of American shipping to the war zones was expected to result in a rush of tanks, planes and motorized equipment to bolster the British forces against the anticipated fighting in the middle east.
In addition to the bombing of Naples, chief Axis port of embarkation for north Africa, British warships and submarines have knocked out more than a score of Italian ships in the Mediterranean since Sunday morning.
PURPOSE EXPLAINED
Unofficial but trustworthy sources believed the offensive was designed to cripple the Italo-German striking power for the long-rumored offensive in the middle east.
Whether the combat would be offensive or defensive from the British standpoint was a matter of speculation.

Students Hear Youth Issue Debated Today
Dr. Bissel Contends Citizens ‘Grown Soft’;
Vinocour to Oppose
Are Americans becoming soft?
Dr. Malcolm Bissel, professor of geography, and Seymour Vinocour. junior debater, will discuss that question at noon today at a Lancer lunclieon in the dining room of Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall. Vinocour will take the negative while Dr. Bissel will argue the affirmative.
GROUPS ATTEND
Phi Eta Sigma, men’s scholastic honorary, and Alpha Lambda Delta, women’s scholastic honorary, will meet with the Lancers at the luncheon. Vinocour is president of Phi Eta Sigma.
Expressing his views in the affirmative, Dr. Bissel said that the situation with SC parking lots and red zones shows the disrespect Americans have for rulings.
BISSEL QUOTED
“Americans are becoming soft,” Dr. Bissel said. “They are guided by expediency and convenience rather than principle. Americans show little respect for any law that runs counter to their personal convenience.
“My views are strengthened by the amount of petty dishonesty— cheating, thievery, deception, and trickery — which are characteristic of many Americans in their every-
