The statement recently issued by 252 bishops of the Anglican Com munion has attracted such wide 2t- tention that it will be made the sub ject at Holy Trinity Cathedral Sun day morning at II o'clock, accord ing to- a statement made by Dean Christian today.
 The statement is addressed ITO all men and women of good will.'
 We have naturally addressed our words to, those who share our Cl ristian belief and acknowledge the authority of our office. Further, assembled at a time when the whole world is still shattered by sunder- ing forces, we have been moved to address an appeal to all Christian people. We ask them to join in a new endeavcr to realize the fellow ship which the world needs, <first and foremost within the Church of Christ
 Nor can we forget that we have sympathizers and allies beyond the frontiers of the Christian society To all men and women of good will who, along with us, have been watching, in deep concern, the vast ing of the moral resources of the world during these recent years, we desire to commend our work, in full confidence that they will find in it much that gives expression to their own thoughts and fears and hopes. We baspeak their considerable at tention. To them the future of the Christian Church can never be un- important for they too, see in re- ligion, and pre-eminently in the re- ligion of Christ, great potential force, strengthening individual char acter and cementing society; and these things are the very things which the world, on the morrow of the supreme catastrophe of the war clearly needs fer the reordering of | society"

BOY SCOUT MEET
 IS HELD IN GYM

Twenty five boys were present al the Boy Scout meeting last Tuesday night in the High School Gymnas. um. They were examined on the Scout Oath and eleven passed; they are all to know the Oath an Scout Law by the next meeting night. The main attraction of the even. ing was a speech by MT w. T. Lopp Chief of the Alaskan Division. Blu reau of Education, who has been in the Territory for thirty years, and who was one of the main factors Alaska.
 He said that twelve hundred were brought from Siberia. These multi piled rapidly and from the original stock, about three hundred and five thousand reindeer have grown, one hundred and twenty five thousand of these having been killed. These reindeer are worth about twenty five dollars apiece
 These animals are important, not
 
 ply, but also because they live on moss of the lands of the North, which are not otherwise useful, and thus utilize all this land
 One of the greatest problems Mr. Lopp had to contend with was the fact that the Eskimos didn't take to the idea of steady work which is necessary for the keeping of rein deer as they were used to hunting at odd times, and doing nothing the rest of the time.
 As an incentive. Eskimo boys were given four years training under an expert herder at an average cost of about ninety five dollars per year per person. with clothes and board, and in this way they soon became expert herders themselves. They were given four deer the first year, eight the second ten the third and twelve the fourth which multiplied to about fifty deer, making a small herd for each herder at the finish of his training. Several herders put their deer together and herded them with the help of dogs, since it is almost impossible for one man to do this difficult task alone.
 These reindeer are halter-broken by being tied to boulder until they get accustomed to pulling a load When they tire they are led for time and then hitched to sleds by means of long ropes. as they are afraid of the sleds and cannot be put directly in front of one at first They are very enduring ami mals as long as the large punches of fat, formed during the summer last, but they are of little use for work after this fat is used up.
 This interesting talk was enjoyed greatly by the boys. who gave MT. Lopp a vote of thanks
 The next meeting of the Scouts will take place next Tuesday even ing at seven thirty.

FIRST BASKETBALL
 TURNOUT IS LARGE

Judging from the indications so far this year promises to be lively as far as basketball is concerned ing for the first practice of the year.
 This is just about one and one half times as many as turned out last year. First and second teams were selected and several plays were practiced.
 We'll say it looks fine to see that long line of husky boys shooting baskets and after a scene like this we have more confidence in our selves and our team than ever be- fore.

LAPS TRYING TO | CONTROL CHINESE EASTERN RAIL WAY

PEKIN, Oct. 15.-The Japanese be- tray an ambition to monopciize the operation of the Chinese Eastern Railway, in the opinion of comis- sion consisting of an American d Frenchman and an Englishmai which was sent by the Chinese government to Manchuria and Eastern Siberia this summer to inquire into politi- cal conditions there particularly as they affected the railway
 The commission was composed of Dr. J. c. Ferguson financial advisor to the president of China: NJ. Padoux French financial advisor to the Chin csc government; and k. -Simp- son, British whose official title is statistician to the President.
 They left Picking June 16 and in- spected the whole line of the Chinese Eastern and later continued their investigations in Vladivostak In a report to the Chinese government the commission states:
 Hypocritical Attitude
 "The Japanese attitude toward the Chinese Eastern railway today is col rect in outward appearances; never theless beneath the surface are to be seen numerous indications of the,r deep desire to dominate, if not to control its administration
 They overlook no opportunity to interfere with the working of the line, they constantly watch the movement of traffic. and they make every pos sible attempt to install themselves in commanding position both along the railway and in buildings belony- ing to the company. Last year they made a deliberate attempt to seize the section south of Harbin (Chang- chun-Harbin by moving up to Harbil all material necessary to convert the line from Russia broad-gauge to standard gauge (South Manchurian system), an effort which was sue cessful resisted by the agents of the Allied powers. Since then they haze attempted to cover this failure by offering to lease from the Chinese Eastern for a term of years all tha freight space on the Changchun-Har bin section and thus to establish an Japanese monopoly, an of fort which also has come to naught" ---~
 Policy Criticized
 Under the head of criticisms of Chinese policing, the commission re- ports that Country districts, parti cularly the Sungari valley and the sections of the railway in the mount aims districts of eastern Kirin, are full of bands of hungtutze Chinese preying upon the country and frequently plunderng steamers and junks.
 "The territorial officers maintain the report continues, that once Jap anese evacuation is carried out this danger will disappear They point to the great number of Meiji rifles cap- tured and the arming of the bands with Japanese machine-guns as proof hat foreign nations have assisted in order 10 break down Chinese control. At the station of ImianpO, 100 miles east of Harbin l | car full of hand grenades was seized by the Chinese garrison a | 'ew days prior to the commissions | 'isit. evidently consigned to brigands. | who are said to number 5000 to r. | 100 in this district alone"

Peddlers, as we'll as police had a field

theirs on Park Row, which generally ia

They jostled the throng that poured
up the street toward the Brooklyn

The only policeman in sight was No.

Wilson Expected to Name
New Shipping Board Soon
Reappointment of Benson and
Donald Is Forecast in
Official Circles

WASHINGTON, Aug 2S.-The opin-
ion that Pres ident Wilson soon would
name the members of the new Ship
ping Board created by the merchant
marine act was expressed tonight in
official circles.
Careful study of the specific duties
the appoint es Will be called upon to
perform has led some officials to be-
licVe that the new board VIII consist
Of a business man, a banker. a ship
builder. lawyer, railroad man, a
shir operator and naval officer
Requirement of the act that the
appointments be geographically dis
tributed is thought to be delaying
the naming of the board, Two Of the
seven commissioners composing the
new board are to come from the At
lantic Coast, two from the Pacific
Coast, one from a Gulf state one from
the INTERIOR and one from the Great
Lakes section. The act also requires
that not more than four members of
the board shall be Of the same po-
litical party.
Admiral Benson. present head of the
board, is an experienced naval officer,
and Commissioners Donald is a ship
ping operator. Officials said they re-
garded rcappointment of these two as
almost certainty.

The street vendors saw that the sun
was high and made hay accordingly.
IL was almost o'clock before shadow
crossed their prosperity. 1t was that
or patrolman from the Oak Street
ponce station-No. 4,513-who saun-
tered across Park Row from City Hall
lark in the direction of Frankfort
Street.
There was a clatter of vehicles--mo-
tor-drlven, horse drawn and man
pushed-w while the men who had been
selling on the sidewalk shut their bags
and their mouths and quietly melted
away. Except for the belated home
goers Fastening up Nassau Street, Park
row was deserted when No. 4513 paused
maJestically at the fire alarm pillar to
gaze about his domain.
Satisfied with the aspect of affairs,
ne went his way and in less than ten
minutes the hawkers were back at their
Ola stands, more vociferous than ever.
Chief Inspector Thor, who was busy
commanding the police who were as
signed to the Hotel Commodore be
cause Governor Cox was there, SAID
ne couldn't tell how many police were
left on duty in New York without con-
sulting his records, which were at
headquarters, but he was sure that
there were plenty. Lieutenants on the
desks IN various police stations refused
to tell how many men they had out on
patrol. But they were sure that there
were plenty.

Strange Expedition Sails
To Hunt for Treasure
Little Party of Adventures Pins
Hope to Peculiar Divin-
ing instrument

Perhaps one of the strangest little
expeditions to take to the high seas
in modern times was that which has
just set sail from port on the At
lantic seaboard.
In a craft just GO feet long, eight
men, among them being three nation
alities, namely. Canadian, American and
Swedish, are even now on their way to
the Cocos Islands, where they hope to
recover vast quantities of hidden gold
and silver
The central figure in the group is
Andrew b. Cullen, of Haileybury
Ont, who is the owner and operator
Of a peculiar little instrument with
which he claims to be able to discover
any kind of metal and upon which the
promoters pin their hopes of finding
fabulous riches.
Another essential figure is Mr.. Nc
Grath, OF New York the promoter of
the venture. They viii be accompanied
by prospector Of Swedish descent,
who is sand to have discovered book
and maps in the Hudson Bay district
OF northern Canada which contains di-
rectionS as to the approximate location
OF the hidden riches Of the pirates OF
olden days. The little instrument Is
expected to do the rest.
Father Terreault, of Haileybury, is
also accompanying the party. He is
understood to be the spiritual adviser.
Father Terreault has been given four
months leave from his parish
This strange little band of men
not alone adventures, but also victims
Of belief in the power of an instru
mcnt to which science will lend no
mark of merit, will cruise through the
very waters where the sea rovers CEN
turtles ago plundered the treasure
ships which piled between Mexico and
old Spain.
Should fate lay its hand of fortune
in the pathway OF these men, science
viii be asked to Justify its refutation
Of the apparently unreasonable powers
of the Cullen instrument. On the
other hand, should chance conspire to
deny good luck to the fortune hunters,
the intinity instrument will go the way
Of the divIning rod and the willow
wands which in the past in the hands
of clever operators, have temporarily
puzzled the minds Of scientific men,
