ENGLISH BIBLE IS
 400 YEARS OLD
Still Tops the Best Sellers,
 Leading Churchman Says

Washington, April IT. The Bible "still completely overtops all other best sellers" Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert, general secretary of the Fed eral Council of Churches said today In a statement calling attention to the Tooth anniversary of the first translation of the New Testament from Greek into English. to be ob- served this year.
 Only one copy of the English Bi- ble, printed by William Tyndale, its translator, Is extant, the statement said. and it Is at Bristol, England. Tyndale's life and work will receive special attention during the observ- ance, which will bring forth exhibits of rare biblical editions by university and public libraries.
 "Tyndale's work shaped the whole course of succeeding translations, from the famous Coverdale Bible to the King James version In 161l," the statement continued. Pastors and Sunday school workers are be- ing urged by the council to stress the importance of this anniversary throughout the year. The transla- ton of the Bible from the original tongue. Tyndale's heroism and mar tyrdom and the power of the pript- ing press, are subjects suggested for discussion"
 The international council of reli- gious education. Chicago, is promot- ing interest in the movement as are the American Bible society, the American Library association, and the National Association of Book Publishers.

BILL
 IN DUTCH CHAMBER
Would Cut Army From s27,OOO to Security Force Of 25,OOO

The Hague, April Y, --- A pro. lect for disarmament, 10 be opera tive as from January 1. 1926, has been introduced In the Dutch cham ber by the Social Democratic party.
 Its main provisions are to cut down the standing army from 327.- 9 oOO men In the active force and organized reserves 10 a security" force of 25,000 and 10 reduce the navy to about a dozen guardshlps and as many seaplanes, The annual cost is computed at some 17,500, ,000 florins, compared with 100,o00,000 florins allocated for defense pur- poses In the 1923 budget.
 The scheme is based upon the Danish disarmament plan, which is closely followed as far as the navy is concerned, while allowance is made for greater land force ow- ing to Hollands longer land from tiers.
 Tho proposal Is accompanied by a lengthy memorial declaring that owing to modern war methods, Hol- land, like other small states, is con fronted with the impossibility of defending her territory adequately against aggression by powerful for eign nations, or maintaining neu- tral'ty by force of arms alone. Either contingency may have to be faced, the promoters say, owing to the prevalence Of international hatred, the desire for revenge on the part of the vanquished, and the fear of revenge on the part of the vlctors in the world war.

SEEK GOLD UNDER
 SEA lOO YEARS Was Lost When Turkish Fleet Was Sunk at NaYarino

London. April 47, -- Searching for sunken treasure in Navarino bay, off the Greek coast, where g. fleet of Turco- Egyptian and Tunis- ian vessels went down nearly hun dred years ago, was begun recently by a London syndicate of insurance brokers. Specially designed salvage ships were sent to the scene with the hope of being able to carry out their purpose. Members of the ex- petition have come to London for additional supplies and diving ap- paratus and, according to their re- ports, 6S ships were lost on which there were gold, precious stones and statuary which the Turks had re- moved from Greek towns.
 The treasure had been taken on board the fleet for transport to Tur- key when Admiral Codrington in 1927 engaged the vessels In battle and sank most of them. The hay where the work has been started is

FLEET PREPARING TO ATTACK OAHU
Naval ManeuVers in Pacific
 About to Start
By The Associated Press.

San Francisco. Calif.. April IT, The strategical importance of tho Island of Oahu in the defense of the United States was being brought home to the officers and men of tho Armada of America as the staffs oi the high command bored over maps and charts today in a final check ot plans for the fleets attack against the island, in the hands of theore. tical enemy.
 It was pointed out in connection with the maneuvers that the terri. tory of Hawaii Is an integral part oi the United States having been an. nexed as was Texas.
 Situated near the geographical center of the North Pacific, Hon. olulu's status as port of call makes 1t worthy of its claim that it is the ''cross roads of the Pacific" But more important 10 the naval and military strategists is the fact that Oahu Is the hub of the nations de. fense of the Pacific coast and acts as a buffer between the coast from Alaska to the Canal Zone. and any enemy that might move across the Pacific toward the mainland United States.
 1T the Islands were held by such enemy they would constitute a threat of formidable dimension against the coast, it has been point. ed out. At speed of 15 knots, well within the capabilities of a modern fleet, an enemy based on Honolulu could arrive off any United States port from Stika to San Diego in from six to seven days. As the is- lands are In or near all trade routes across the North Pacific and be- tween the mainland and Australia, an enemy in possession would be placed favorable to intercept all these trade routes effectually.
 On the other hand. 1t has been pointed out, an enemy bent on at- lacking the mainland of the United States must pass near Hawaii and If the United States fleet were based there he would hardly dare pass them because that would permit the American fleet to fall upon his rear and interrupt his line of communi- cations.
 The distance of the islands from the Pacific coast introduces some difficulties to be solved in proving for their adequate defense. Their remoteness from any possible enemy simplifies to some extent the defense of any of the United States con- tinental territory.
 Their comparatively small area and location make them immune from capture by any except an over seas expedition on a considerable scale. Similarly. in case of enemy attack, they could be relieved only by a naval force such as the one which is steaming today toward its objective. E. 7, The defenses of Oahu, the only fortified island in the group, have been strengthened greatly in recent years to provide against attack by 1 new and improved weapons of war fare. Like other defenses. these can not be said to bs complete. for this can never be determined until &C., tuslly subjected to the test of war, 1t has been pointed out. In certain respects the defenses are known to be weak and in certain other re- spects an actual attack might show them to be inadequate.

HUNDREDS OF CARDS HELD
Post Office Gets Many Private Mall Ing Cards Sent Under old Rate Win Cost Sc More for Delivery

Hundreds of private mailing cards, including all kinds of sou venir post cards, are being held at tho New Britain post office today because of the fact that people tried 10 mail them today and yesterday under the old postage rate of one cent.
 These cards will cost the persons to whom they arc directed three cents more before they arc re- ceived, since they will be notified to send one cent postage 10 the New Britain post office, costing them two cents more to mail 1t. before they can obtain the cards.
 The new postage rate went into effect Wednesday, making the rate on private mailing cards two cents instead of one cent, and many peo- pie have continued sending their cards at the old rate.

A BUSY sUMMER HEA

Washington, D. c., July 1A.-De-
spite the fact that President Coolidge
has left Washington on what many
writer's claim to be a vacation trim,
he will, nevertheless have q most
busy summer at Swampscott. at
which point he can put in his custom
airy 10 to IA hours a day looking af-
ter the affairs Of the nation. His de-
parture from Washington simply
meant a change Of location Of office,
for the president win have but a
slight opportunity to get what might
really be termed q vacation.
Many problems, both national and
international, win arise this summer.
There viii be numerous conferences,
besides those being held, which viii
concern the matter Of funding Of
the debts owed Us by European coun-
tries, and these are matters that the
president must necessarily keep in
touch with every hour Of the day.
Secretary Mellon, who this week con-
ferred with the representative Of the
Italian government. concerning the
funding Of Italy's debt, has taken a
house on the cool shores Of Long ISL
and, at which point this and other
monetary conferences will be held. Il
is believed that at least four other
countries viii hold "parleys,' as
these conferences are called, with the
secretary Of the treasury concerning
their country's Indebtedness to the
United States.
Washington, instead Of seeing an
unusually quiet year as was expected
by many, will witness a strenuous
summer, for the majority Of cabinet
officers win be in the city, and prae.
tically all of the assistants to then
will spend practically the entire sum,
mer period in the nations capital.
There is no doubt but the presi
dents declarations in regard to tht
foreign debts have penetrated th'
minds of the foreign politicians wht
realize that the citizens of their re
spective countries are alive to tn,
fact that England's financial recov
cry was, in a great measure, due t.
her coming forward and making
satisfactory agreement with Oh
United States regarding her debts
The funding Of these European "bill
payable" will assist, to quite an ex
tent, in securing further tax reduc
tions.
