SeoentyJfUe Episcopal Bishops
Campaigning for RenesOaL Of Faith

Seventy-five Bishops of the Epis-
copal Church have temporarily aban-
doned all other duties to unite in a
nationwide campaign for militant
and efficient Christianity. Rein
forced by thrice that number of out
standing priests and laymen and
women, they have undertaken, by
authorization of General Conven-
tion of the Church, to promote a
spiritual rededication of their COM
munion. Beginning January 9, in
this city and diocese Of the Church,
and in eighty-four other dioceses and
missionary districts over Continental
UNITED States, in groups of from
three to a dozen, these Bishops,
priests and laymen are conducting
devotional services and holding con-
ferences and mass meetings, urging
the entire membership of the Church
to renewal of their convictions and
pledges, and a reawakening to the
rSuties and responsibilities Of Chris
tan citizenship in the postwar gen
Grafton.
'Let US have done with futile
piety," they are saying. LET there
he an end to mere Sunday religion.
Shake off the lethargy. Let US an
swer for the Episcopal Church, at
least, that our faith is still strong,
and demonstrate by our acts that
Christianity is the one potent force
for the restoration of sanity and
order in a stricken world"
So the Bishops Crusade of the
Episcopal Church has got under
way. These Crusaders are speeding
through the country to several score
Of strategic points for the conduct
of the Crusade meetings. Due an
nouncement of the time and place of
their appearance in this vicinity will
be given. The entire Church has
been organized for the Crusade.
Every element in the Church is en-
listed in the movement, which will
continue through two months; fol-
lowing which, all the central locali-
ties having been covered, the Crusade

One feature of the Crusade will |
be the effort to secure from every |
listed member of the Church a signed |
reaffirmation of his pledges of faith. |

PROMINENT WOMAN INJURED

VICTIMS OF SLICK SWINDLERS
Auto Dealers, 1t is Said, Are Offered
Check After False Identification

1t is reported that swindlers have
been working a clever game in Della
ware to obtain automobiles from deal
ers, and it has been working success
fully for sometime.
1t is said that one of the members
will approach an agent of cars and ar
range for a purchase. The deal will
always be made on Saturday after
noon, and the car purchased on a part
payment plan. The would-be purchas-
er will offer the dealer a check for
the first payment on the car, the
swindler using the name of a business
man in some Delaware town. The
swindler makes sure the dealer does
not know the business man personally.
When offering the check with the
name of the business man forged he
requests the dealer to call up the bank
by phone on which the check is drawn
and ask the bank if the check is good
for the amount for which it is drawn.
OF course the bank will say yes, as
the swindler takes care to use the
name of a business man, who has a
large account. Securing possession of
the car he uses fake tags and makes
a getaway.
The game is not revealed until Mon
day, when the bank receives the forg-
ed check, and by that time the "gang''
has made away with the automobile.
Dealers are being warned SO that
the "game" can not be repeated.

Another will be the participation of
score of the best known women
leaders of the Church as Crusaders,
in addition to the presence on plat
forms throughout the country of
such eloquent churchmen as Bishop
Thomas C. Darst, of East Carolina,
the Crusade Leader, Bishop William
T. Manning, of New York, Bishop
James E. Freeman, of Washington,
Bishop Charles H. Brent, of Western
New York, Bishop Charles P. Ander-
son, of Chicago, Bishop Irving P.
johnson, of Colorado, Bishop Regi-
nald II. Weller, of Fond du Lac,
Father Huntington, of the Order OF
the Holy Cross, and Bishop Theodore
P. Bratton of Mississippi.
Leaders stress the point that the
Crusade is not planned as a so-calleG
revival, to collect money or to recruit
members. The sole purpose is to
weld the Episcopal Church into a
jealous, vital and practically func--
tioning organization, discharging the
task TO which it is consecrated. This
end is sought under the raIlying cry
of the Crusade: "For a Renewal Of
Faith"

purpose of laying the temporary lines

the event that Congress in the near
future provides a new bridge at this
point. This water will be pumped to

own SURTAX OFFICE
Follows Up Dismissal of Brit
ish Customs Inspector by
Naming Chinese Official.
BY the Associated Press.

PEkING, February 1s.-Consuls
of foreign governments at Tien-
tsin were notified today that the Chi
nese superintendent of customs had
been appointed a director for collec-
ton of surtaxes on importations
which would be levied Immediately.
This action was an outgrowth OF
the dismissal January 81 of Sir Fran
els Aglen as inspector general of the
foreign controlled Chinese maritime
customs because Angien refused to
collect surtaxes on the grounds that
they had not been approved by for
eign governments and would be used
by. military factions to advance their
interests.
The Picking government informed
the consuls that any surtax paid TO
the maritime customs would not be
regarded as legal. A surtax bureau
will be opened in Tientsin at the
branch office of tie Bank of Com.
munications.
The same policy, it is believed, will
be adopted for other northern ports,
thus obviating the difficulty of at
tempting to compel foreign customs
officials to collect the surtax.
The Japanese consul at Tientsin
protested against tins action, but it
is understood that the American and
British consuls do not intend to pro-
test.

At this time there is much dissatisfaction among most of the Europeans over their debts to us. Like debtors the world over, now that they have spent the money, they do not like the idea of paying.
