The Bible in Other Tongues

IN recent article the Christian Herald
l makes what seems nj first a rather broad
statement: Before the printing Of the Bible
there was no English language" Then the
Herald proceeds with the explanation that
ii was the Bible that standardized all the
dialects Of Britain and bound them together
into one speech, thus laying the foundation
for the education and culture Of England
We who are accustomed TO the beauty of
the Bible as literature are apt to overlook
this truth. We accept its stately passages
formed Of simplest words, without noting
their mechanism, so to speak, because mosA
OF US have heard them read all our lives
And we inclined TO forget tina, the best
English of to-day is merely modification
OF the English OF the Bible. Shear our best
modern writing Of its colOQuialism. revert
TO the earlier personal pronouns, use certain
diversions. readily suggested, and the result
will closely approach the form of biblical
English.
1t is TO the translator of the Bible into
other tongues that the incstimable value of
scriptural English is most apparent, and the
absence Of a corresponding form of express
sion from many other languages is one of
the foremost difficulties He hesitates to
translate the Scriptures into modern. colo
Qua speech; yet if he employs such old
purely classical, and frequently ancient and
obsolete. speech usage as the literature of
'hd' tongue MA! aHOrd, lie runs the FISK OF
turning ont a stilted and possibly unintelli-
gblc work
In these cases, the translator is forced to
strike a sort of medium, which blends the
simple. everyday. modern speech with the
more sonorous fanciful and colorful Ian
guagc OF other days This course was fol-
lowed, for example, by the Bishop oadjutor
Of Virginia, Right Rev. William Cabel
Brown. d. D.. whose translation Of the Bible
i'm Portuguese is considered a model fol
accuracy. beauty and adaptability to The
needs OF the people for whose benefit the work

FOUR TURKISH DIVISIONS
ROUTED ON TIGRIS RIVER
Russians Capture Two Whole
Regiments of Ottoman Troops,
Together With Rich Booty

PETROGRAD, Aug. 24.-Russian troops
have defeated four Turkish divisions tSO,.
900 men) in great battle near the VII.
lage of Rachta, near Mosul, capturing two
entire Turkish regiments, 1t was officially
announced today Much cannon and other
booty was taken.
The Russian victory near Mosul Is OF
great Importance as far as the situation
on the Asia Minor. or, to speak more pre-
cisely on the Mesopotama field of battle
is concerned. Mosul is on the right bank
of the Tigris, on the way to Bagdad from
which it is about 22O miles distant
Not only is Mosul important from the
military point of view, for its capture by
the Russians would clear for them the way
to Bagdad from the north. but It is also
from the moral standpoint as the city is the
capital of the vlllayet of Mosul and, though
by no means holding the commercial i'm.
portance it had in former times, st has
a considerable caravan trade. 1t has
population of nearly 10000. 81

of Staff of Life
DISCUSS PROSECUTIONS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-Chairman Ed
ward II. Hurley and his colleagues, of the
Federal Trade Commission, today began
the probe of accusations by Representatives
ltainey, of Illinois, that the western pack
ing interests, by absorbing control of GER
tain concerns in the so-Called bakery
trust" were the powers behind the move
ment for increasing the price of bread
throughout the country. The commission
called in Assistant Attorney General Todd
for a lengthy conference as to possible pro-
cedure by the Department of Justice
The commission debated the expediency
of recommending immediate enactment of
Representative Rainey's bill, removing the
old war tax on mixed flour. The commits
sion has been flooded with appeals from
scores of western milling concerns for a
public hearing on this proposition before
decisive action is taken. Several commits
sioners frankly asserted their belief that
the proposed law, which would give Federal
sanction TO the mixing OF wheat and corn
-four with certain restrictions as TO label
ing, would enable the small commercial
bakers TO produce a better loaf at a much
lower cost than is now possible.

OPPOSES WILSON'S r. R. PLAN
TO SAVE SMALL INVESTORS
Bankers Beg President Not to Grant
Demands

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-In a letter ad-
dressed to President Wilson. signed by Lewis
y. Franklin, president. and John II. Blunt,
chairman, representing the railroad bond
committee of the Investment Bankers As
ISOLATION of America made public at
o'clock today, a strong objection Is made
to granting an increase in pay Of railway
employees without arbitration.
The letter declares that should an in
crease in wages be granted the cost would
come from the pockets of small investors,
which would seriously endanger the security
of millions of outstanding bonds.
The letter, in part, follows:
"In the interest of investors holding bill
lions of railroad securities, most of them
citizens of moderate means we respectfully
protest to your EXcellency against any
effort to induce or compel railroad officials to
grant an increase of wages approximating
$1,000, 900 a year, unless the justice of
such increases be determined in advance
by arbitration.
THE right to grant or refuse such al,
Increase in expenses should not be deter
mined by any form of compusion such as
y is now threatened. n this right can be
adjudcated by arbitration under the super
vision of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, any increase granted will furnish a
just basis for an increase of rates that will
be fair to all parties, including the public.
Capital for railroad development and
upkeep cannot be obtained If railroad earn
ings are to be dissipated at the instance OF
combinations of employees enforcing their
claims by compulsion and refusing to sub
init to arbitration.
Fright, not might, must govern in labor
disputes IL there is to be any stability in
our social organization"
