Need Guns for 100 ships.
Recent figures show that $50 ships
under American registry are en-
gagged ia transatlantic trade. but IL
is estimated that not more than 100
would apply for guns and take the
risk Of crossing the German sub
marine zones. There will be no diff
ficulty in furnishing that number of
vessels with weapons. but supplying
trained gun pointers for 100 guns
would take just that many valuable
men away from fighting ships.
There are about 1000 men in the
mately 100 were trained gun point
ers when they left the active list.
Most of them are older men, how
ever and none has had any recent
practice in gun pointing. IL is said
that no sufficiently expert pointers
for work on merchant craft could be
obtained from that source, although
some ammunition handlers and
other members of gun crews might
be obtained. OF the 1000 reserv-
lists about One-half have been drilled

Navy officials construe the presi-

can ships. That might include ma

val experts is against such "A step,
both because it could not insure the
conveyed ships against submarine at
tack and also because the efficiency
of the fleet as a fighting machine
would be seriously impaired if it's
units were scattered for convoy duty
The available guns are OF range
up to siX-inch calibre. Most of them
are old models but have ample
range and power for the work de-
sired. Range and rapidity of fire are
vital factors in anti-submarine OPP
erations. It is important that the
underwater craft be assailed before
she gets into good torpedo range.
The majority of cases reported
show this TO be 500 yards or less

DR.. Campbells Apologize

SPIRITUAL PILGRIMAGE By II J Camp,
bell. NJ A. Priest ~ 1T Philips Cathedral
Church. birmingham. s1o. ~. II. 900. u.
Appleton & Go.
After brilliant and highly fruitful
ministry in the Free Churches, partic-
ularly as the successor Of Joseph
Parker in the pulpit of the City Tenn
pie, London, Mr.. Campbell year ago
Joined the Anglican priesthood. AS AN
act of piety to the lifelong associa-
tions which provided him with his great
opportunity he has now written an
apologize. in which there are revealed
the workings of a susceptible and cour-
ageous mind. Once, in his Noncon-
formist days, Mr.. Campbell was asked
by the present Bishop of London what
he most missed in the Free Churches,
as compared with the Church OF Eng
land. and his reply was. the altar. "
The answer was one TO which the
Bishop was TO recur again and again
in conversation in after years, and at
length Mr.. Campbell found his way
into Anglicanism. in whose formularies,
singularly enough unless it is remem-
bered that the church is Reformed
Protestant by law established there
is no mention whatsoever of an altar.
The true meaning of the change of re-
lationship is found by Mr.. Campbell IN
tho fact that he is now, what he was
not before, in priesthood that is a
valid channel Of sacramental grace.
whereas the ministry he rellnquished
was not sacramentally, only "propheti-
cally," valid.
