Miracles

In World War I, many a devout Briton believed that, during the Battle of Mons, Aug. 23, 1914, a heavenly host of angels appeared on the side of the British Contemptibles whose magnificent rifle fire was almost as effective as that of a machine gun, and saved them from complete annihilation. World War II has begun sprouting its crop of miracles. Last week's:

> Fighting north of Lake Laatokka in Finland, a Finnish officer and nine men saw an angel in the sky facing Russia, its arms outstretched to protect the Finns.

> Polish refugees who reached Budapest reported that in Bromberg a Nazi shot a young Polish priest who had just administered Extreme Unction. As he fell, his hands, with holy oil on them, struck a wall. A clear impression of the hands materialized on the wall, remained even after Nazis repeatedly attempted to paint it out.

> A Mennonite missionary in China told how a Japanese pilot, leading a covey of ten bombers, found his way barred by a multitude of angels with drawn swords. He turned back, was later executed for insubordination.
