John Axton "Despite the fault-finding of many people today, the present generation is no different from any other in the histmv of the world," asseitel Col John T Axton, chaplain of Rutgers univeisity, when he addressed the chapel audience Sunday moining. As an example to prove this state ment, Colonel Axton declaied that a tablet made 2700 B. C. was recently unemthed When deciphered it was found to contain inscriptions to the effect that the youth of that genera ion no longer obeyed their parents and that the sages of that period were worried concerning the future of their children. "The youth today," he continued, "merely does on the front porch what my generation did on the back porch." Another point stressed by Colonel Axton in his address was that con cerning war. Though strongly oppos ed to warts., the foi mer army chap lain is firm in his belief that the only possible method for the United States to avoid useless bloodshed ut the pre sent time is to build up a reserve army and navy.
