port.
The Third Naval District in New

plosion in the engine rom.
After the three lifeboats had
moved a few hundred yards away
from the stricken boat the sub
marine surfaced and fired several
rounds from a deck gun into the
cargo vessel.
The submarine came alongside the
lifeboats and the survivors were
given two bottles of West Indian
rum and were asked whether they
desired cigarettes. The submarine
commander was told no cigarettes
were needed and then the submarine
moved of and fired another 20 shells
into the freighter. When the cargo
vessel sank the submarine moved

The Senate voted today to provide
a $40 increase in the present S30-a-
month pension for veterans OF the
World War with non-service-con-

The measure, which was sent

voted a year ago for all veterans of

The $40 increase voted would re-
store one of the few remaining cuts

benefit about 10000 persons, and
would cost the Government about

all veterans on reaching IS. regard
less of health or financial condition

If enacted now and would cost be-

eral pension during the present

would rise above S500,000.000 an

SEATTLE, June 1.-The Right
Rev. Peter Trinble Rowe, IS, Epis-
copal bishop Of the missionary dis
trict of Alaska. died at his home in
Victoria, British Columbia, today
his diocesan Office announced He
was the Oldest living active bishop
in the church.
Head of the Episcopal Diocese of

called "the bishop of all outdoors" ;"
A pioneer among teachers of
Christianity in that region, he had
to travel by canoe in the summer
and on foot over the frozen wastes
in winter, to reach the Eskimos, In
dians, adventurers and other trail
blazers.
The great gold rushes only served
to make Bishop Rowes task more
difficult. In addition to teaching
Christianity he was obliged to ped
die it among the people in COM
petition with interests other than
religion.
With his own hands he built the
first church at Nome during one of
the rushes, then continued on to
Fairbanks where another church was
erected. In a rush for gold at
Cordova the bishop followed and
there became a competitor with
saloon men in bidding for the only
lumber available. The bishop got
it and built a clubhouse for the
men. destined to be the only coun-
ter attraction to IA saloons.
Bishop Rowe made his first air.
plane flight in August, 1926, being
piloted from Nome to Tigara by
Noel Wien. The bishop was inclined
to apologize for this fight, explain
ing that an urgent call from an
Eskimo village led him to under
take it.
At 80, on brief vacation in New
York, he looked back to his 43 years
in the North, recalled gold rush
friendships with Jack London. Rex
Beach and Tex Rickard, and re-
membered preaching several sermons
in Richards gambling place in

Missionary Task for

Postwar Problems at
Assembly in Knoxville
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. June l.
Delegates to the general assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States were told today by
layman speaker that the denomina-
ton would have to send missionaries
to Germany and Japan after the
war to alter concepts built up among
youth of those countries by totali-
tartan rulers.
But, said Paul r. Shehan. elder
of the Lyons Park Presbyterian
Church, Charlotte. N. c., America
must be sufficiently evangelical it
self before it can assume that task
effectively.
Our Christ taught that man ex-
lists not for the state, but that the
state exists for man." he told the
gathering Since the day of Christ
the two concepts have been in moral
conflict"
End of Christianity.
Mr.. Shehan asserted that the con-
ception of a supreme state and that
of Christ's teachings cannot stand
side by side. Adolf Hitler knows
that-he hasn't tried to hide it.
"I tell you now, that if Hitler
wins, it will be the end of Chris
tianity in America"
Deploring reports to the assembly
which showed 1850 congregations
reporting no new conversions or
added memberships during the last
year and 5000 fewer new member
ships for the same period in the
entire church, Mr.. Shehan urged
stronger support OF the church's
Evangelism Committee and greater
participation by laymen in evar-
gelistic efforts.
93,000,000 Outside Church.
Before the assembly was the re-
port of w. Norman Cook of Rich
mond, Va, director of the churcin's
religious education advance showing
"60,0O0,O0O persons in the United
States who are unchurched, 33,000,-
900 adults still unreached by the
church and over one-half OF the
children and youth OF America all
receiving 40 formal religious in
struction."
In the 16 Southern States en-
braced by the assembly, the report
continued, there are 100000 peo-
pie OF whom 35 100000, or n out of
every 100, are not enrolled in any

Scheduled to come to the assembly
floor late today or tomorrow is con-

foreign correspondents in Berlin to

that the Germany Army was now
on its way through Turkey to save
the Ottoman state from Russian
Communism, the British secret serv-
ice and American Jewish intrigue" !"
It is now almost half year since
we last attended the press confer
ences in the Wilhelmstrasse. At one
of our last meetings there, however,
the spokesman was positive In as
serting that relations between Tur-
key and Germany were excellent.
Work on Barges Rushed.
The Berlin correspondent for the
Turkish News Agency told me
shortly before I was interned that
he was instructed to comment on
the German news "in a family man
ner." The instructions came from
Ankara.
But Germany is taking no
chances. One of our repatriates on
the Drottningholm who came from
Greece reported that Germany was
feverishly at work on the Greek
islands in the Ionian Sea building
barges with which to effect landings
In the Dardanelles. Some 1000 Ger
man workers, he estimated, were
engaged in this construction prof.
ect, besides all necessary native
Greek help.
The Port of Piraeus, he also re-
ported, was teeming with activity
again, and all sorts of construction
was under way. When I vAited 1t a
year ago, following in the wake of
the conquering German armies, 1t
was scene of death and destruc-
ton.
The curtain of silence which the
Nazis have dropped over Greece is
thick and inpervious. 1t Is there
fore, hard to verify this repatriate's
story.
1t seems decidedly to make sense,
however.
