of the well-fed owl, Petey, a little
gray-breasted owl, has become
mascot for children at the Lincoln
elementary school.
For three months, Petey has
stayed in a bush near the school,
clucking happily when approached
by students, who intend to build
him a home. Although Petey's vi
sion during the daytime is none
too good, gradually he is gaining
the confidence due all mascots.
There is little chance that he will
leave his new job, for he has a bro

THE HISTORIC PEACE
CHURCH
BY EARLE SLUSS

Some ask, where is your back
ground of the church to which
people belong? Of course, this re-
quires us to turn the pages of
time back to some history concern
ing the Church of the Brethren.
Two hundred years after the
reformation introduced by Martin
Luther, by breaking with the
Catholic church, Alexander Mack
takes his stand after so many
have already failed, organized the
Church of the Brethren at Schwar
zenau, Germany, in 1903. Alex
ander Mack was only % when he
became leader of a little body of
eight, three women and five men.
Counting the cost, and having no
creed but the teachings of Jesus
and the New Testament, they IN
troduced the church to the world.
Having settled upon their canon
of faith, they became convinced
that all wars were sin and were
numbering the poor to win riches
and honor for kings. They decid-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The model federation" outlined by Prime Minister Chamberlain fol- lows the rough outlines of Plan Number Two" long under discus sion by economists here as a basis for peace and commercial har- mony in Europe.
 Doubtless, it is a bit jarring to Secretary of State Hull, for it doesn't dove-tail too well into his trade agreements program in so far as the latter is based on the principle of most favored nation" treatment.
 The Chamberlain plan as now worked out between France and England, is a tightly-knit relation ship. It would require some major adjustments, either on the part of the European federation or on the part of Secretary Hull's trade agreements program.
 France and England have agreed to stabilize their currencies against each other. For practical purposes, they have boiled francs and pounds together into a monetary stew out of which the two units of

 Find No Trace

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 31. - Search for William Dempsey, 40, life termer who escaped from McNeil Island Federal Penitentiary yesterday, broad ened today as prison officials reported they had found no trace of the man since he fled from a road gang under cover Of a dense fog.
 One hundred and seventy five penitentiary employees, as- signed to shifts, searched the 4,O00- acre island but no trace was found.
 Dempsey, 20 years ago, at Seward, Alaska, shot and killed Deputy United States Marshal Isaac Evans in cold blood as the officer was questioning him concerning the staying of a woman at Anchorage.
 Dempsey escaped to the woods after the shooting of Evans but was hunted down by a quickly organized posse. He was taken to Valdez where he was convicted and sentenced to life.
 Demp psey's home was in Cleveland, Ohio.

Trading with America Con- Centrates Dollar Re-
 sources for War

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Prime Min ister Chamberlain assured the United States and Japan that Great Britain is anxious to avoid friction or disturbance of her trade and other relations with them or other neutrals in the war against Germany.
 This statement was made today in addressing a luncheon of the National Defense Committee.
 The Prime Minister expressed re- gret that concentration of dollar resources in America for munitions and other supplies forced curtail- ment of purchases of other pro- ducts.
 Chamberlain said that one of the foremost aims of Great Britain in the present war with Germany is to get it over and then return to normal trade among nations.
 Oriental Dispute
 Of the British-J Japanese dispute oyer the seizure of q German sea- men from the Japanese Asama Maru by a British warship, Cham berlain said: Nothing could more distress us than that the Japanese Government or people should feel we exercised our belligerent rights in any want of courtesy or respect for them"
 Japan has formally protested the seizure and the incident is now subject to diplomatic discussion in Tokyo.
 Discusses U. s. Trade
 Of trade relations with the United States, Chamberlain said: We in the past have been the largest customer of the United States, especially for the agricul- tural products but as soon as the war began we were compelled to curtail our imports for things not essential so we may concentrate our dollar resources for the pur- chase in the United States of those enormous masses of munitions and equipment necessary for us to have in order to carry on the struggle but let no one suppose we want to use the measures we have taken for any purpose other than prose- cution of the war, nor are we in- different of the losses neutrals may thereby sustain"
