There were % principals The
chief figure is Ernest Niekiseh, a
prominent writer and political
partisan of pre-Nazi times.
The principals were charged not
only with disseminating propa-
ganda against the Nazi regime,
but with actually plotting the
death of high Nazi leaders.
NIEKISCH and two men
charged with aiding him
in leadership of reasonable
Nazi movement were put on
llldl III secret.
Ii was understood that dur
ing the first few hours the
court heard the testimony of
the three defendants. An Off

pected the trial of all % prin-
cipals to last only two or three
days.

The split between the two
Democratic members Of the

eago, as superintendent of

After the announcement had
been made Commissioned Guy
Melton denied that Or Brown had
been asked 10 resign from the

Commissioner A A Rankin,
however. orally slapped back nj

tendent had received "A raw deal. "
Rankin. under whose direction
the hospital Ia operated, said Or.
Browns resignation was "nncalled

Il don't care what other mem
bors of the board say" Rankin
asserted Brown was forced Ia

Invented the Rocking Chair

Credit for the invention of the
rocking chair goes to Benjamin
Franklin, who is responsible for so
many of the things that make every
day life pleasanter. The story goes
that Franklin took a slat-back chair
and whitfield out pair Of rockers
for it, SO he could really loll in
leisure. Though. truth to tell, it's
hard to believe that the versatile
Philadelphia rocked away much of
his life. This rocker was first made
about 1750, and by 1900 it was widely
used and continued to be a popular
American custom till recent years.
It has never been used much any
where but in America.

6,97O,757 Bibles
Circulated In
40 Countries
Bible Society Reports Vol
umes In 1872 Languages
Distributed

The American Bible Society has re-
ported to its membership an annual
circulation for 1888 of 6,970,757
Bibles. The society has completed its
14th successful year.
Over 40 countries were represented
in the distribution and the Bibles were
published in 1872 languages.
In China, for the last five months
of the year, when the Society's af-
fairs had been somewhat adjusted to
the conditions imposed by the war,
Bibles and Testaments were published
at the rate of 10000 month = a
book every four seconds day and
night. The secretary of the China
agency, DR.. Carleton Lacy, reported
that truck-load of Bibles moving
west from Hongkong plunged into the
river. Later the books were rescued
and artifcially dried in a Hankow
egg-packing house.
After years of planning and nego-
tiation the American Bible Society
joined with the British and Scottish
Bible Societies in the formation of
the Japan Bible Society, styled
Nippon Seisho Kyokwai", through
which it will hereafter function in
that country. The Christian churches
in Japan celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of the first complete japanese
Bible.
The Bible Society's work in foreign
countries was increased by the lift
ing of custom duties on books in
Mexico and Venezuela. Brazil, with its
vast territory, is the Society's most
extensive field in Latin America.
The circulation in the United
States was slightly more than in 1887.
The Society supplied 40,501 Tesla
ments to the C. C. c.. camps, through
the chaplains, making total of $780,
236 granted since 1888 - given only
to enrollees who asked for them.
New languages are added to the list
each year, in which the Bible Society
distributes the Scriptures, and under
the direction of it's Versions Commit
tee the Society is constantly working
on the preparation of new versions
and the revision of those already in
use. One of the milestones in the
progress of the gospel in Africa was
4 reached in August when the first
copies of the New Testament in the
Otetela language, published by the
Bible Society, arrived at the Method
list Episcopal Congo Mission at Minga
and Lusambo. These 100000 people in
Belgian Congo have previously had
only few portions of Scripture,
printed on the mission press.
During the year, under conditions
CT both peace and war, publication O.
the Scriptures was carried on abroad
in IS languages and dialects in
Manila, Bangkok, Shanghai, Hankow,
i Siam and Tokyo.
