 The peculiar icy formation on the foot slopes of Pavlof is termed by Professor Jaggar ''an ice tumble" It is almost. but not quite a glacier. he states.

CHURCHES ARE NOT
 CHRISTIAN, HE SAYS
Archbishop of York Makes
 Startling Statement

London. Aug. Is (UP)-Churches are not and never were Christian in the opinion of the Rt. Rev. Willia m Temple. newly appointed archbishop of York.
 That startling statement was made in an article by Dr. Temple which IS one of series attempting to an- swer the question If Christ Came to Londonc"
 "The world has seen the Churc h of England put forth all it's forces concerning Welsh disesta blishment and dlsendowment: it has not seen that church put forth a force at all comparable to secure that the poor may be housed with decency or that children of the nation may have their fair chance in the life," the archbishop-elect goes on to say.
 In brief, he charges the church with being too ecclesiastical and not sufficiently Christian.
 Dr. Temple said that if most peo- pie were imperfect Christians, not all churchmen were un-Christian. Many business men and large em- ployers, he insists, set fine example by their regular attendance at some congregation-either Anglican, or one of the free churches. Nine out of ten social workers, he adds, are convinced Christians.
 "The churches are not doing enough; and not enough of their members are doing anything at all; but nine-tenths of what is being done is done by church members" Dr. Temple believes.
 He is unwilling to prophecy what Christ would say should He come to London, but he feels sure that all accepted standards would be cut right across by his deeper precep- tions of values.
 Many that are first would be last" he warns, "and many that are last would be counted among the first"
 In conclusion he asserts that no one doubts the beauty of the Chris tian idea.
 "The question is whether it Is more than a beautiful dream," is his challenge to church members throughout England and the Chris ian world.
 But we do not need to ask what Christ would say or do if He were here. He is here: He is everywherc.

Willlamstown, Mass, Aug. 15 (uP)-The position of the United States in the Caribbean area is purely an economic one. Prof. Harry I. Ceilings, of the University of Pennsylvania said today in leading round table discussion at the Insti- ute of Politics.

that the dedication address uin
 prove satisfactory.
 Mayor Paonessa, chairman of the
 speakers committee, opened the
 meeting with discussion of th.
 question as to whether a. local or a
 nationally known orator should be
 selected. He called attention to the
 Tact that the observance is to be
 local for the most part. and that the sentiment about the city is for a New Britain man. He then men, toned the name of MT. Smith, tell ing of the work MT. Smith has done to make the memorial shaft a reality and urging upon him that
 he accept the honor which the com lnlttee members had decided to pro1fer him. Attorney P. F. McDon- l ough and others added their expres- sions of favor.
 Surprised and taken aback. MT. smith answered that he had attend ed the meeting. supposing that Gen. Pershing or Gen. Edwards was to be selected and prepared to recom- mend the latter. but with no thought that he was being consider cd as the speaker. After some urging that the original plan be fol- lowed out, Mr. Smith was convinced that his colleagues were determined Tn their choice andshe accepted. Be fore doing so, he asked if, in the opinion of those present, the Amer ican Legion would be satisfied with the selection, and he was inform. d that prominent members had gi, n their approval.
 Chairman John W. Lockett of the badge committee attended the meeting to ask suggestions os to who should receive badges. The senti- ment of the committee appeared to be in favor of giving them to all members of the general committee cut not to participants in the par ade. It was reason that those who are doing the work of preparing for the celebration should be given something to remember ethob hrd something to remember the obsev- ance by. It was also suggested that the three nearest of kin of each de- ceased soldier be given a different type of badge.
 Informal discussion of the me morial service program indicated sentiment for a switch in the plan suggested by the executive commit tee. to have this feature held on Saturday in conjunction with the dedication. The present plan is to | have it on the following day. Mem- hers of the committee expressed a belief that it would be poorly at- tended ill spite of the fact that all | clergymen in the city will have some | part in it and large chorus will | be heard. Coming on the day inn following the dedication, [ there was grave question in the minds of those at the meeting large crowds would again go to the park.
 The idea of a memorial service on Saturday afternoon will be laid be- fore the executive committee at its next meeting.

 Other European threats of inter- ventlon for failure to pay off certain indemnlties sent the United States into Haiti. he said. The result there has been vast economic development and financial stabilization.
 The interest in Cuba is based on the Platt amendment. the recipro- clty treaty of 1903 and an invest ment of one and one-half billions of dollars. Ceilings declared. Cuba. now IS the second largest country in which American capital is to be found. he said
 Ceilings expressed the opinion that United States interest in Gen. tral America is almost entirely economic in character. with the possible exception of Nicaragua and of course. Panama.
