586 songs, some 200 of which were
new.
All of the favorites in the old
hymnal, he said, were retained and
among the new songs was included
"a negro spiritual, Were You

Lord"
Bishop Mikell said that it would
still take nearly two years to COM
plete the work on the hymnal, and
if adopted, it would be several
years before it could be used by
the church. The commission al.
ready has devoted three years to
its preparation.

Dawn brought the first wild war cry Of
the savage Apaches, from a hilltop to-

the mounted warriors outlined against
the cold gray light on the horizon. More
shouts and cries as others approached,
and the fierce red hordes swarned down
the hillside on their. mustangs, into the
valley.
Tonic glanced at his father, the
Chief, and saw the tense, determined
line of his lips tighten almost imper-
ceptibly as he readied to give his war
riors the signal to fight.

The function of the Office will be

and for the most part will be di-
vorced from purchasing, which is
handled locally by the British Pur-
chasing Commission, quartered in
the Willard Hotel.
| Plans for setting up Offices here
are clouded for the most part in
secrecy by the British Embassy, but
it is understood that the move will
result in expansion of the British

Star Staff Correspondent.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 22-In-
credible As it NAV seem, Ohio. which
President Roosevelt carried four
years ago with a lead of 100000
votes over ALT M. Landon, may turn
in its presidential electoral votes
next month for Wendell L. Willkie
This would mean a switch of little
more than $4,000 votes from Roose-
welt to Willkie.
The tide in this State in recent
weeks has moved swiftly in the di-
rection of the Republican presi-
Dental nominee, and even pro-
New Dealers and other Democrats
admit that to be the fact when
speaking off the record The
Democrats have become genuinely
alarmed. After viewing the situation
with much complacency for weeks,
they are desperately engaged in an
effort to stem the Willkie tide. They
are importing speakers from every
part of the United States-inclut-
ing President Roosevelt himself, who
is to speak in Cleveland, No
vember q
The Democrats are counting
nightly ON that effort of Mr.. RoOse-
welt. They insist that the demon
stration which will be staged for
the President will dwarf into in
significance anything done for Mr..
Willkie in Ohio. Cleveland, great
industrial center, has been a Demo-
cratic and New Deal stronghold for
Gratis are shutting Cabinet officers,
Senators, representatives. ambas-
sailors and lesser speaking lights,
literally covering the State with a
network of political rallies, headed
by Understanding names. They have
made speaking dates for former
! Gov Pinchot and for his wife, since
the Pinchots have decided to sup
port the President for a third term
rather than Mr.. Willkie for first.
Mrs. Pinchot, for the first time in
her life, addressed a Democratic
rally in Cleveland the other night.
State G.. o. P. Functions Smoothly.
The great daily newspapers of
Ohio are opposing third term for
the President, including the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. This Is the first
time in a century that newspaper
has failed to support a Democratic
presidential nominee. The publicly
is all on the side of the Willkie
candidacy. The Republican State
organization is functioning smooth
ly and with no factional troubles.
And what is even more important,
the independent Willkie clubs are
putting on an intensive drive that
has opened the eyes of the profess
sional politicians. The women in
the Willkie clubs have been even
more active than the men.
The Democrats are building their
hopes almost entirely on the
workers votes. Labor is the back
bone of their campaign, and they
look to the great industrial areas
in the State to pull the chestnuts
out of the fires for the President.
