ENEMY WAR MATERIAL
TO BE DISTRIBUTED


ERemy war material, captured by
u S. armed forces during the late
conflict, will soon adorn parks.
town sites and other places of van
tage in Ohio municipalities, as well
as museums, historical collections
and memorial buildings, according
to plans announced by Adjutant
General Frank e. Henderson, who
has been named by Governor Dona-
hey to supervise the distribution of
the states share of World war
trophies as provided by act of con-
gress 1t is expected that an adj
visory committee, composed of rep
resentatives from the American
Legion and Ohio Archaeological So
ciety, will be appointed to act with
General Henderson.
Shipment of the trophies, for
which the Ohio General Assembly
appropriated $4,000 to defray cost
; of transportation from the federal
warehouse to Columbus, will begin
at some early date after July 1,
when the money becomes available.
In order that every citizen of Ohio
may have an opportunity to view all
the trophies, Governor Donahey has
directed that the material be dis
played at the state fairgrounds dur
ing the state fair, August 81 to
September 5. .
An item in the Second Deficiency
Bill approved March 4, this year, by
congress, provides 100000 for pack
ing and loading the trophies for
shipment to the various statesS The
states must bear the cost of ship
ment from the storage places, such
as Port Newark and the Norfolk
depot Distribution Of the trophies
to the various Ohio communities
will be started after the state fair.
and will be based on applications
now being received by the Adjutant
Generals department. The COM
munities, Institutions and organiza-
tions (which receive them must pay
the cost of transportation from the
central distribution point for the
state.
Approximately 200 cities, towns
and villages are listed, among the
applicants for the trophies About
three-fourths of the counties of the
state have applied. There are also
many applications from state insti-
tutions, public schools, state pre-
serves and parks on file. 1t is an
nounced that all applications re-
ceived by July Is will be given con-
sideration first. A priority list will
be made up and include all appli-
cants who request trophies by that
time. Those who apply later will
be given consideration in the best
possible manner.
Plans for distribution are only in
the tentative stage, but it is ex-

After the world tour (1920-22)
and a sojourn at Battle Creek, Mrs.
James and I made long trip among
| the churches, sharing with them
our experiences around the world.
More recently, made long preach
| ing and lecturing trip and was sur
prised to see how readily the breth-
ren give to foreign missions. That
about 100000 of us conservative
Christians have no more than seven
male missionaries in all the heather
lands, is a disgrace which could
very soon be removed. 1t is good to
know that married couple go to
Japan this fall, and two or more
couples to China. Let us have more
scriptural mission work.
We now have more than a. dozen
churches and missions in Louisville,
two of which entirely support their
own missionaries in Japan. :. Port
| land Avenue church runs a day
school to keep their children from
evils so abundant today. They also
have special free course Of Bible
study each winter. :'Word and
Work." an excellent magazine, is
printed here, and"Great Songs of the
Church." possibly the best obtain
able hymn book, is published from
here. Camp Taylor has recently
built; Longfeld Avenue is about to
begin; and Bro. Johnson has bap-
tized 16 from a new mission in pri-
vate house. Two tent meetings and
a house meeting are now running.
And yet we should do much more
for Christ.
l am increasing the kinds of free
literature to about 80. Samples
on request. A fine pamphlet, where

pected the procedure of the federal
government will be followed in
Ohio. The government has based
distribution on the percentage of
men in the World war armed forces
from each state, this being the only
fair and equitable plan that is pos
sible. Due to the limited amount
of the material allotted to Ohio, it
will require considerable time to
work out plan of distribution that
is fair and just, Gen. Henderson
points out. The fact that there are
only "a pieces of heavy artillery ap-
portioned to Ohio, for distribution
in S8 counties, is in ITSELF prob
lem. There is sufficient amount OF
the smaller, though no less interest
ing, articles to fill all applications.
The total number of trophies ship
ped from France to the United
States was approximately $500, 900
articles. All this, however, is not
being apportioned among the states,
territories and District Of Columbia,
Gen. Hendersons says, because the
needs of national museums. ceme-
teries and parks have been given
first consideration.
A considerable number of citizens
have gotten the wrong impression
that distribution will be promis
cuous. Distribution in Ohio will be
made on the basis of applications
only, and no trophies will be issued
or sold to individuals.
Ohio's allotment includes besides
the "a pieces of artillery, 3,475 bay
onets, plain and sawtooth; 500 can
teens, $40 cartridge cases, 20
pieces of body armor, 716 helmets.
rs Uhlan lances, 442 machine guns,
3,731 rifles, 708 sabers and swords.
102 grenade throwers and an as
sortment of grenades, many trench
mortars and gas masks. The big guns
range from the rs M. m. to the 250
m. m. minnenwerfer, and include
also anti-aircraft guns, howitzers
and mortars.
The foregoing is sent us from the
Adjutant Generals department, Co
lunlbus. Let us us hope that proper
steps will be taken by the local Or
ganizations, in order that Morgan
county may get her share Of the
enemy captured war materials.

Extinct Volcano on Alaska Peninsula

Anlakchak Crater, on Alaska
Peninsula, is one of the most re-
markable natural objects on this
continent. 1t is an enormous basin,
whose floor measures 6 ga by "a
miles, an area more than half as
large as the District of Columbia.
The rock walls that form the rim
of the crater rise in places 5000
feet above its floor, and a cinder
cone in the crater rises to a height
of 2,200 feet, four times that of the
Washington monument. In a hol-
low in the crater's floor lies a lake
that is 2 II miles long and that has
an area of two square miles.
A further measure of the magni-
tude OF the crater may be had by
comparing it with better-known vol
canlc craters, such as Kilauea, in
the Hawaiian Islands, which has a
diameter slightly less than three
miles, or the pit occupied by Crater
Lake, in Oregon, which has a diane
ter OF about 1s miles, both being
smaller than Aniakchak. Estimates
of the amount of material that has
been elected from the present
crater vary greatly, but the small
est quantity indicated by the avail
able facts is about eight cubic
miles, and the actual quantity may
have been more than Is cubic
miles.
/ There is no record that this vol
cano has been in eruption within
historic time; in fact, the channels
cut by the streams that flow down
its slopes and the growth of vegeta-
tion ON the ash from the crater in
disate that ARiakchak Crater is one
Of the oldest in the whole series of
volcanoes along the Aleatian Range.
Indeed, the lower part OF the cone
in which the crater is situated may
possibly have been formed before
the last great period of glaciation,
for some of the valleys that score
its sides appear broad, as if they
had been once occupied by ice and
were later partly filed by volcanic
ash.
The Aniakchak district, whose
broad prairie-like valleys are rim
med by majestic sharp-peaked
mountains, is impressive and in
many respects unique. The former
scene of terrific earth commissions is
now almost oppressively quiet, and
the somber landscape overswept by
fitfully driven clouds, presents an
aspect that is most weird.
Aniakchak Crater was discovered
in August, 1922, by party from
the Department of the Interior in
charge of r. FL. Sargent, of the Geo.
logical Survey, while they were
searching for possible petroleum.
