tirely successful climb to the top of
the city building Wednesday night

tico over the main entrance but after
several attempts TO get firm hold on
the slick surface of the building, he
came down. He then went to the roof
by ladder in order to survey the stu
alton, but soon arrived at the conclu-
sion that it would be too hazardous to
attempt the climb from any other
angle. After explaining the situation
to the crowd of onlookers, he proceed
ed up the tower and perched on the
steeple.
The performance was conducted for
the benefit of the Harry Raw post Of

FEELING is SHOWN
AGAINST CHRISTIAN
EDUCATION IN CHINA
(By Associated Press>


PEKING, July 13.-Feeling against
Christian education in China, is eyi-
denced in a long protest recently pub
lished by the Chinese press. This pro-
test, signed by the anti-Christian stu
dent federation" was sent to the Chin
csc educational reform association
which is meeting at Tsinanfu, capital
of the province of Shantung.
The protest asserts that while China
welcomes the introduction of. foreign
educational methods, it does not desire
them connected with the preaching of
Christianity.
Advices from Annoy, April 20, stated
that an anti-Christian movement said
to have started with the formation of
20 anti-Christian organizations in Pek-
ing university was spreading rapidly
over China and that the agitation had
reached Annoy university the govern
ment schools and other institutions.
Christian leaders and consular author
tiles at that time expressed alarm at
the extent of the movement said to
have been backed by communist agi-
tators.
A week later, Shanghai reported
missionary circles and even official
spheres of China were alarmed by re-
ports from widely separated sources
of Central China of the spread of anti
| Christian denominations. These re-
ports came from reliable sources in
| Nanchang, Changsha and Wuchang.
A foreign mission worker at Nan
chang. telegraphed to Hankow that
anti-Christian propagandists at the in
stigation of supporting factors in
Shanghai were forming an anti-Chris-
tan federation with the aim of expell-
ing Christian influences from China.
Chen Kwang Yuan, Tuchun at Nan
chang was asked to check the actiy-
tiles of the agitators.
1t was known then that anti-Chris-
tian influences were active in Shang-
hal, but no expression of them had
been given publicly.

on the walks and even in the streets
here. Europeans do not retire into
ice cream parlors for refreshments
Instead, they take theirs at small Ia

walk and are even placed in the street
occasionally. The constant passing
of cosmopolitan throng of people
makes this a fascinating pastime.
Impressive Services.

hotel turned to persons at our table
one day at luncheon and pointing to
the Arno, outside, asked, do you
know what river this is?"

Affected Bv Sun Spots

Huge Concrete Towers
We're Intended For Use
In Fighting Submarines
Ry ChAs. MCCAIN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,
LONDON, July 12.-Mystery sur
rounding the huge concrete towers
built by the admiralty just before the
armistice was cleared up when Lieu
tenant Commander Kenworthy, dur
ing debate at the commons, explained
that they were new anti-submarine
weapons.
Towards the end of the war the adj
miralty completed two tremendous
concrete structures, much like dispro-
portionate pill-boxes. weighing thous-
ands of tons, at channel ports. Ten
other towers were under construction
when the armistice was signed. Work
was slowed on them, but finishing
touches were put upon the completed
towers.
When the excitement of the war had
died down, the government was fire.
quently questioned as to the proposed
use of the towers. 1t was evident
that they were to be sunk on the bot
tom of rivers or in shoals at sea.
The government consistently re-
fused to say what they were for, even
after one of them had been improvised
as lighthouse and the other, at
Shoreham, Sussex, after attracting
thousands of visitors, remained in the
harbor unoccupied.
Explains Use
During a debate on admiralty appro-
priations in commons, Lieutenant
Commander Kenworthy urged that the
remaining tower be towed to sea and
sunk. Incidentally, he explained their
use.
During the submarine campaign, it
was vitality necessary to keep open the
Straits of Dover, the main channel for
troops and munitions from England to
France. The admiralty invented the
towels to combat the submarines
They were to be towed to sandbanks
along the straits and sunk They
would have been occupied by the anti
submarine crews, where, reinforced
by steel, they would have become
island forts.
The towers, the admiralty thought
would provide much more efficient
weapons than patrol boats, which
were forced to seek shelter during
rough weather. On the towers would
have been mounted searchlights and
guns, which would have swept the
channel for miles around.
In addition, there would have been
apparatus for the detection of sub
merged submarines by sound, and
there would have been keys" for ex
| ploding minefields through which the
passage of submarines was suspected
or established.
