cation Of a translation of the Old
Testament in modern English. in

park, Noah's Ark is termed a barge
and the City Of David is named
Davidsburg, was announced yester-
day.

try was made by the publishers, the

leased December 1.

church history in the United Free
Church College, Glasgow, explains in
his preface that 1t is his belief that
the Bible cannot be properly under
stood by the present generation un-
less it appears to them in the Ian
guage Of their everyday life, just
as it was read by the generation for
whom 1t was written. 1t is his be-
lief, he explains that the Bible should
be translated afresh for each succeed
ing generation. The book Is declared
to be the first translation of the Old
Testament since the publication Of
the King James Bible in 1911.

ment, a New Translation" is the re-
suit of eight years unaided labor on
the part of the Scotch theologian,
who declares that 1t in no sense is a
revision of any previous English
translation, but Is translation of the
ancient Hebrew texts. Through the
use Of modern English. and the Sub

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November %. The
name Red Grange took on unusual
significance at the scene Of the
international livestock exposition
yesterday and a dozen cowpunch-
ers of Packington were cinvinced
the bearer of such a name can
buck through the most formidable
line ever composed.
Red Grange. not the foot ball
star, but a red short-horned stear,
named in his honor, arrived in a
number of animals the University
Of Illinois Is entering in the
show. In the course Of the
unloading process, Red Grange
plunged through the line of cow
boys and herdsmen as he charged
off the unloading platform. The
exact yardage he made in the run
that followed was not determined,
but he was found some time later
paving up the backyard of Mrs
Mary Burke, a mile away.
Red Grange, apparently con-
tent with his achievement, per-
mitted himself to be led quietly
back to his stall in the show

BERLIN, November 2S.-The vast
attempt OF the European steamship
lines led by the English Royal Mail
Steamship Co. to form an inter-
national steamship trust against the
the north Atlantic trade and a vir-
tually monopoly of the European and
South American traffic, has failed
owing to Germany's unwfllingness to
be unfriendly to American interests.
On Wednesday there ended an
eighth day conference, which was
held in the Hotel Esplanade in Ber-
lin. Representatives Of the British,
Dutch, Belgian. French. Spanish,
were present as well as several South
American delegates.
1t appears that American steamship
lines have been cutting freight rates
to point at which Europeans were
unwilling or unable to compete
Therefore, at the instigation Of the
Royal Mail Line, an international
trust against the American COM
panies was considered. 1t was pro-
posed to reach an understanding
between al the companies whereby
tariffs would be established in COM
mon, time tables would be made to
try's shipping would have a certain
percentage of the total carrying
trade, based on that country's pres
ent tonnage in the water.
Germans Demurred.
The Germans, however, demurred.
They declared they were unwilling to
accept any share based on their pres
ent tonnage, as within year they
would possess the same tonnage as
before the war. Moreover, the Ger
mans were opposed in principle to
combating the Americans.
Other delegates believe the Ger
mans were threatened by the allied
American lines with a complete stop
page of their credit If they adhered
to the English plan.
1t is notable that the Norwegians
were absent.
All the other European delegates,
with the exception of the Germans,
claim their trust was to be defensive
in nature. purposing to defend the
European lines from an American at
tack, and they declare the American
interests plan to use the Germans and
Norwegians in carrying out their
plans for obtaining an ever larger
share of the Atlantic carrying traffic.

Five Billion Capital
The corporation with a maximum
capitalization of $5,000,000, 900, could
condemn, purchase, or seize such pri-
vately-ownod railroads as found nee
essary to create the two federal
trunk lines 1t would also have pow
er to acquire power plants and coal
mines necessary to supply fuel.
A five-man directorate, each re.
ceiving $4,000 year would con-
troll the corporation. They would be
appointed by the President on the
same conditions affecting Cabinet of
ficers and ambassadors "by and with
the advice and conesnt of the Sen
ate.'

So that the corporation could
control export shipments, the bill
would turn over to it all government
owned ships, whether in ocean SER

would wipe out the United States

Nothing else can come into contact

is that he may be allowed to keep
