OF
CHURCH FIGHT
ON EVOLUTION
Fight Flares for First Time
Among LutheranS at
Farley Here.

Evolution, the untouched" sub
ject for resolution in educational
conferences Of the Lutheran church,
neared the resolution stage and a
definite stand here today of church
educators as ]. w. Haas, president
of Muhlenberg college, Allentown,
Pa, pleaded for a spirit of free
dom in all Lutheran church schools"
The Muhlenberg executive pre-
cipitated a definite battle between
orthodox educators of the church
and the "moderns," when he took
direct issue with a paper read. by
Prof. Karl Ermisch, of Augsburg
seminary, Minneapolis, Mimi. at the
National Lutheran Educational
Conference session in the Claypool
this morning.
Choice Is Urged
The Ermisch paper openly urged a
choice be made of Creation or
Evolution?"
MANY Christians make a COM
promise with modern thought and
modern findings. I believe in the
Bible. the whole Bible, nothing but
the Bible" argued the Ern1isch
paper.
DIR. Haas challenged the paper
with:
1--WE carry with us too much of
the Sixteenth century. We as a
church should be neither fundamen-
talist or modernist. A lot Of brilliant
pastors of our church have cast
aside religion, because Of our tabooS.
Wants Spirit of Freedom
Evolution as evolution, with
Gods presence, should not be ruled
out of our schools. The spirit of
freedom should be kept in the BIZ
ology classes"
DR.. Haas in explaining his re-
marks following the meeting said:
"God is evolution. All of life is
a mystery. We should admit every
thing of value to the student for
his determination.
1.-THE religion of William Jen-
nings Bryan bryan was evolution'S
strongest antagonist, was one
wholly for the ignorant and ingor-
ance," he said.
Opens Series Of Meetings
The Lutheran conference was the
beginning of series of denomina-
tional meetings in the Claypool.
The educational association of the
Methodist church and Presbyterian
college union opened at this aft
ernOon. College presidents Of the
Disciples Of Christ will meet at 1880

India Ends
i'm Failure
BU United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Jan. 19.-Prime Min
lister j. Ramsay Macdonald, deliv-
ering the labor governments dec
laration Of policy to the India round
table conference today, announced
readiness to grant amnesty to the
more than $4,000 political prisoners
in India if civil order were assured.
The round table conference, which
convened on Nov. II, in an attempt
to form a basis for new Indian
constitution, ended at 4:20 p. m.
without having achieved it's full
purpose, but with a record which
was generally described as a "suc-
cesSful failure"
The prime minister expressed
sympathy for the political prisoners
and the followers of the imprisoned
Mahatma M. K. Gandhi in the In
dian civil disobedience campaign.
His declaration was made after
the Conservative party, represented
by Lord Peel, unexpectedly had
promised support for the proposed
new constitution regardless of what
party may be in power in England
in the future.
1.-THE attitude of the British gov
eminent is an overpowering desire
to leave you to settle your own af-
fairs" Macdonald said.

~ OntteG PTeSS
HINSDALE, Mass, Jan. 49,
Hinsdale's idle millworkers went
back to their jobs today-without
pay.
They volunteered to carry out the
wageless working schedule in the
hope that this eventually would
lead to steady Jobs with pay.
The Hinsdale Trading Corpora
ton, which manufactures blankets,
was closed some thirteen months
ago.
Since this is Hinsdale's sole in

in town lost his job.
If the blankets on which work
was begun today meet certain speci-

enough to keep the plant operating
for a year with 100 hands employed.
Merchants have agreed to extend
credit until the employees receive
their wages.

Commission Votes to Delay
New Text Adoption;
'RoutS' WiSehart.

Indiana's textbook commission to-
day bowed to the will of the legis-
lature. 1t approved unanimously a
motion to put off adoption of the
f1ve-year textbook program so that
legislators may investigate and
legiSlate" TO their hearts content"
regarding textbook matters.
The commission, however, turned
down a motion by President L. N.
Hines OF Indiana State Teachers
college, Terre Haute, to reject all
pending bids, on the ground that
they are much higher than prices
for which similar texts are being
sold in other states.
A motion to gather data regard
ing prices elsewhere was Substi-
tuted.
Several members Of the education
committee of both houses were on
hand to watch the proceedings.

commission. Presidents of each of
the state normal colleges and of the

tendent of public instruction.
Legislators pass on budgets Of all
state schools and departments.
President L. A. Pittenger of Ball
State Teachers college, Muncie,
former member of the house, arose
Immediately to propose postpone
ment.
This was seconded by President
Edward G. Elliott of Purdue uni
versity, who pointed out that at
previous meeting he had sought to
postpone action on the bids until
March %.
Not a voice was raised in objec-
ton to postponement.
Defeat for Wisehart
This was a sore defeat for Roy
P. Wisehart, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, who originally had
arranged the book advertisements
and letting to be within his term of
Office.
He retires March Is. In the in
term the whole program is to be
in legislative hands, the board hav-
ing adopted another motion to turn

WORLD PEACE
OR WAR? ISSUE
UP At geneva
League Council Meets to
Set FatefuI Date for
Arms Conference.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINIldS
scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-One OF
the most fateful dates in human
history, for the United States and
the world, will be fixed by the
council of the League Of Nations
which begins its 1881 session at
Geneva today.
A preparatory agenda committee
has asked the league to fix time
and place for holding a worldwide
disarmament conference, suggest
ing early in 1882.
And while its warmest sponsors
gravely admit 1t is doubtful whether
such a parley can succeed, some OF
the wisest and most conservative
statesmen in Europe declare failure
will mean another war.
Big Powers Must Pay Price
In the opinion of Lord Cecil OF
Chelwood British representative at
Geneva. everything depends upon
the willingness of America, Britain
and the other great powers to pay
the price.
Disarmament" he said in an
international appeal, sis worth a
great deal to us all. But in this
world you seldom get valuable re-
suits unless you are prepared to pay
for them"
From fifty to sixty-nine nations,
including the United States and
Russia, will take part in the epochal
conference.
Its fate, Lord Cecil predicts, will
turn upon whether one group of
powers can persuade a second group
that these latter can safely accept
reduction and limitation of weapons.
This means that success or failure
will depend upon whether the
machinery for world peace is
strengthened between now and the
end of the conference.
If it isn't it will be doomed from
the beginning.
U. S. Attitude Is Key
Attitude of the United States, in
the long run, it is felt likely will de-
eide the issue.
Great Britain, key to the
European situation, certainly will
make no further commitments In
the way of underwriting the peace
OF the old world until Americas
position has been clarified.
In plain English, the Kellogg pact
outlawing war is not enough, either
for Britain or the continent.
Nations have violated their
pledges before and probably will do
so again.
What the rest Of the world want
to know is, what is to be done with
nation that violates the pactP
What will America do?
Hoover Must Move Soon
Will the United States continue to
insist upon the freedom of the
seas, the British ask, and upon its
right TO trade with the outlaw ma
tion7
Or will it join with the rest of
the world in closing the seas to such
outlaw?
To Europe, especially to Britain
this Is vital. For, her spokesman
observe, If the United States does
insist upon It's right to trade with
violator of the Kellogg pact
Britain and America Inevitably
would collide, a disaster too terri
BILE to contemplate.
The pact, therefore, needs to be
strengthened If it is to be made
the foundation of world peace and
disarmament. At present 1t is too
uncertain.
II President Hoover ever exrects
to act to advance world security,
Europeans grinly observe, he must
do so soon, or the fat may be in
the fire.

ment bulletin board.
Such posting already is carried
out b ythe Indianapolis board Of

Although they contend that the
commissioners and directors are
using road promises very effectively
as a weapon Of defense against any
assaults this session, they predict
success for the new measure due
TO the rising tide Of discomfort with
the present administration and
setup.
