Feared Dark, Grave is Lighted In life, Albert L. Parmeter, Jr., feared darkness. In death, his devoted mother pays touching tribute to the boy’s memory by keeping a light constantly over his grave in the York, Me., cemetery.

(Central Press) British Leaders Aroused By The Slump In Religion Church More Active in Soc ial Work and in Greater Loyalty to Jesus and His Teachings Only Solu tion, Babson Says Englishmen Believe BY ROGER W. BABSON, (Copyright 1937, Publishers. Financial Bureau, Inc. Bristol, England, 'v t. 30.—1 have been here for a week attending the great annual meetings of certain of the “Free Churches" of England and Wales. Frankly, the Protestant chur ches over here are in a slump even greater than thev are in the Unite 1 States and Canada. They are losing the young people, church attendance is constantly declining: and gifts to missions are rapidly faHing off. This sad condition, however, is causing a few of the church loaders to wake up and try to ascertain what is causing the trouble and what can be done about it. At these meetings, these more pro gressive leaders urged four things which mean taking religion seriously instead of playing at it: Ci WOULD Some Think He Would Make Better Race Than Reynolds or Hancock Dally Dispatrh Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel.

(d) Helping people economically through the co-operative and other social movements. Os all the different church denom inations in Great Britain, I believe that the Baptists are making the most progress; the Methodists come second; with the Catholics third in growth. The Church of England is undergoing a “renaissance”; but it has a long way to go when one con siders its prestige and property.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 30.—1 n the early days of Mussolini’s campaign in Ethi opia the Overseas Writers in Wash ington entertained at one of their weekly luncheon as guest who knows that part of Africa very well as not many Americans do. At the luncheon’s conclusion and after the visitor had made his speech, a luncheoneer who wanted a little ful ler enlightenment put this question to the visitor. “Do you ibelieve the Italians really will succeed in effecting that grab?” To which the guest replied: “If they do it will serve ’em jolly well right.” An Expensive Mouthful. At the present juncture Washing ton diplomacy strongly inclines to the opinion that Italy is in process of being served “jolly well right.” With the Spanish situation urgently, calling for Italian digestion,, an un assimilated Ethiopia, from all indi cations, still is sticking choking in the Fascist craw.

The reported decision of the batta lion to abandon its stand against the surrounding Japanese was said to be the result of urgings of foreign con suls general, who tried to end a sit uation considered dangerous to the in ternational areas. It was feared the settlement would be gravely endangered if the battalion continued to defy its enemies. The battalion had held out in a warehouse-fortress near the settle ment boundary since the general Chi nese retreat from Chapei Wednesday. Earlier tonight the Japanese, who surrounded the fortress on three sides had begun a steady, methodical art illery bombardment of the beleagured stronghold. With four 75 million guns mount ed 100 yards away, Japanese artil lery slowly fired shells in an attempt to batter a hole m the rear of the warehouse through which a hand-to hand charge would be possible. The Japanese shells were being fir ed directly toward the international settlement, but the closeness of the guns, to their target made it impos sible that stray shots would hit the nearby foreign areas. About 40 Americans and many oth er foreigners already had evacuated the Hunjao area. W. GRIMES HAYWOOD QUITS STATE POST Dr. B. W.

Heavy troop patrols were establish ed on the Algerian frontier to prevent Arab nationalist agitators from fleeing Morocco. The frontier was practical ly closed to all except foreigners.

That was the hopeful element today in the Chinese-Japanese con flict, although the positions of the two countries on terms for ending their undeclared war were shown to be widely separated. Howeveg, international cities thought peace talk could at least start in the Brussels peace conference to open November 3. Investigation disclosed the follow ing factors aiding prospects for peace: 1. Japan has been dragged farther into the war than she anticipated, es pecially in the Shanghai region^ 2. The Japanese navy is reliably re ported to have frowned on the present venture in China. 3. Japan’s accumulations of war stores are being expended and will still be further reduced by the long, even if unsuccessful, defensive cam paign China can wage. This would make Japan more vulnerable to pos sible attack by Soviet Russia. 4. Japan realizes she cannot con quer and occupy all of China, if she wants to. 5.
