JUMPS ON ANGLICAN PRAYER
London Editor Critic of Canterbury and York Prelates.\
LONDON, Dec. 31. (AP) — Morning papers today criticized the form of prayer authorized by the archbishops of Canterbury and York for use Sunday, when the Church of England will hold united intercession services.
The Morning Post says editorially the style of the prayer "suggests that the author must have studied the resolution of the trade union congress rather than the collects of the prayer books — so much is he impressed with the current jargon of the platform and so entirely insensible to the dignity of the English liturgy.
"Nothing could be better calculated to induce a spirit of national humility than the thought that such prayers could be authorized for use in public worship by the archbishops of Canterbury and York."

COLUMBIA BASIN DATE JANUARY 18
Dill and Jones Call on Army to Hear Irrigation Project Advocates.
By Special Representative.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. — Senators Dill and Jones after conference today advised the river and harbor board of the army engineers they want a hearing on the Columbia basin January 18.
The Washington delegation will meet Monday to outline its reply to tentative findings of the army engineers, and decide what witnesses and what evidence to present. The delegation also expects to agree upon the form of bill to be introduced and to have the bill introduced in the senate and the house in advance of the hearing in view of the fact the delegation is well posted, and Roy Gill of Spokane and James O'Sullivan of Ephrata are now in Washington representing the Columbia Basin league. The delegation believes it will not be necessary for other witnesses to come on for the hearing. It is hoped to close the hearing in one day.
Senator Jones, in response to inquiry, was advised by the state department it is awaiting reports from field scientists of the department of agriculture as to damage done by fumes in Stevens county this season before taking further action on findings of the international boundary commission in the Trail, B. C., smelter case. The department expects to be able to get the data and make its ruling sometime in February.

Hopes to "Unify Gravitation and Electricity."
PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 31. (AP) — A man who has a habit of startling the scientific world with strange theories, and then proving them correct, came back to school today in an effort to prove that his latest conception of the universe is actually what he thinks it to be.
With an eagerness not surpassed by any freshman at the California Institute of Technology, Dr. Albert Einstein, famous Berlin physicist and one of the foremost thinkers of the world, "enrolled" today at the institute. He will remain here two months, or longer, in an effort "to unify gravitation and electricity."

Historic Bells Ring Out
Sixty years ago last midnight an eager lad rang for the first time a church bell in the pioneer village of Hillsboro, Ore. Come weal or woe, he has rung that bell every New Year's eve without anomission in the 60 years. No matter where fate or fortune might have led him, he made it a point of sentiment and pride to be back in the old home town on New Year's eve, to ring out again the glad tidings of a new year.
Long ago Albert Tozier passed from boyhood to manhood, and to varied responsibilities, but all this week he was planning eagerly for the 61st ringing of the old bell. It is inspiring to find such devotion to an ideal, and a reminder that towns and cities of the Pacific northwest are taking on a mild touch of "antiquity."
It is pleasing, too, to find that fidelity to faith and sentiment is characteristic of the heart of the red man as well as of his white brother. Sixty years ago Christmas day, we are reminded by a news item from Kamiah, Idaho, the Rev. Henry H. Spalding, pioneer missionary, organized the first Presbyterian church for Indians, in a wooded area two miles east of Kamiah. Near by a mission was erected by Sue McBeth in the same year.
Christmas day the church's anniversary was observed with the customary zeal and devotion. Resident Indians, under the leadership of their own spiritual advisers, had spent weeks in planning for the recurring memorial.
We are told by the Kamiah informant that the old church was built by employees of a sawmill operated then by the United States government, and trees were hauled by oxen and planed by hand, and that it is the same today as when built, except that the interior has been remodeled and a furnace room added. The timbers are stanch as the day they were placed.
During Chief Joseph's war of 1877 the church was a blessed asylum of refuge for whites and Indians. Red men and soldiers surrounded it with their encampments, and General O. O. Howard, commanding the forces of the regular army, and his staff worshiped there. A devout Christian, one of the general's favorite songs was sung on that occasion, "Hold the Fort!" There, too, 60 years ago a bell was installed, and for six decades it has been ringing out its message of peace and good will, of hope and courage for the coming years.

Education a Menace?
From the Vancouver (B. C.) Sun: A new slant on the possible effects of universal education in a world gripped by financial depression was furnished the other day by Dr. Robert A. Millikan, famous scientist, in an address at Hendrix college, in Arkansas.
Dr. Millikan was sounding a warning that colleges and universities must not try to educate too many students. This, he said, is a practice that tax-supported schools are especially apt to adopt: and he pointed to conditions in Germany as an example.
In Germany, he said, young men are crowding into the universities as never before, and he added:
"The state has made such education practically free. The easiest and cheapest thing to do in a time of unemployment is to go to the university. The result is that the professions are being flooded with men for whom there are no possible jobs, and jobless, educated men make for social unrest, for revolutions and for wars."
In a nation that is committed to a belief in the value of universal education, the possible effects of that rising scale of discontent are worth thinking about.

Where Family Men Make Street Improvements
More than 56,000 cubic yards of earth are being moved from this bank at Ninth and Freya to make a dirt fill to replace trestles on Second, near Ivory. About 70 men work each day and with shovels, dump cars and 12 trucks handle about 500 yards per day. The work is being done jointly by the city and county and gives approximately 210 family heads two days' work each week. The picture, looking west, shows the "east and west bound" main lines of railroad used to transport the loaded cars to the dumping platform. It is estimated the filling of Second avenue and removal of old wooden trestles will not be finished until early march.

HEAVY SNOWS BURDEN ROADS
Route Wenatchee-Spokane Traffic Through Waterville Owing to Trinidad Blockade.
WENATCHEE, Wash., Dec. 31. — Traffic between here and Spokane today was routed by way of Waterville, owing to heavy snowdrifts blocking the North Central highway near Trinidad. All available equipment was being used to clear the highway for New Year's day traffic. Officials reported other roads passable.
Many cars were reported stuck in drifts last night and this morning and state highway equipment was required to free one motor coach.
Drifts five to 10 feet deep had blocked the Sunset highway east of Waterville and at Wilbur, but snowplows, working from both ends, opened the way.

ROAD CREWS RUN INTO COAL
Uncovered on bank of Columbia River Near Wenatchee
WENATCHEE, Wash., Dec. 31. — A fair grade of coal was uncovered on the bank of the Columbia river by crews building the $114,000 state highway bridge two miles from here. The coal is being used for heating offices of the construction force, and was discovered while excavation was carried on for coffer dams. The coal vein is located a short distance from the tracks of the Great Northern railway which in 1802 (sic) offered $50,000 to any one discovering coal near Wenatchee.

HITLER USES ROUGH WORDS
Exhorts Nazis to Resist Bolshevism "Through Hell."
MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 31. (AP) — Alolf Hitler told his national socialist followers in a New Year's message last night they would charge "through hell, death and damnation" to victory.
The leader of Germany's fascist "nazis" exhorted them to fight "bolshevism" to the utmost.
The "nazi" chieftain said his party had risen prodigiously in 1931 and now is the largest in Germany, with a roster exceeding 800,000. He also claimed for it the adherence of more than 15,000,000 Germans.
He charged Catholics and the middle-class with being the tools of "bolshevism" and the cause of all the fatherland's misfortunes.
"Fate itself demands straight fronts. The biblical prediction exhonerating the hot or cold, but damning the lukewarm to be spewed out, is about to be fulfilled in the fatherland. The middle parties will be smashed to a pulp."
His message said there would be " no compromise with Marxism."

CLAIMS BRITISH DECEIVE SELVES
BOMBAY, Dec. 31. (AP) — Mahatma Gandhi, writing in "Young India," today said there is "no nation on earth that equals the British in capacity for self-deception."
"But it would be wrong to think the British ministers are humbugs," he added. "I am convinced they are honest in their professions but they betray an amazing ignorance of the actual situation in India. Reports and anti-nationalist opinions from their agents in India they generally accept as gospel truth."
The British mind, he said, is not ready for anything more than Prime Minister Macdonald's last round table conference declaration. "Therefore," he said, "it seems to me a further fiery ordeal is necessary."
Arguing that the real power rests not in the hands of Sir Samuel Hoare or the viceroy, he said:
"We must work out our own salvation in India, by negotiation if possible, by direct action if necessary. But I shall not light-heartedly invite the nation to a fresh ordeal. Neither whall I hesitate to advise action if I find no way out."

JAPAN'S CAVALRY NEARS CHINCHOW
MUKDEN, Manchuria, Jan. 1. (AP) — Japanese cavalry clattered across the ice on the Taling river today and stopped at the outskirts of Chinchow, China's last Manchurian stronghold.
This was an advance patrol from the main body of the brigade encamped on the north side of the river.
There was no resistance. The Chinese defenders continued leaving the walled city in great numbers and presumably the Japanese intended to take it over tomorrow.
Most of the Japanese brigade was to cross the Taling tonight so as to be in position to move on with the dawn.
It was obvious that the Chinese had no intention of resisting this side of the greeat wall and it was altogether possible that the Japanese would keep on the heels of the retreating army clear down to Shanhaikwan, at the very edge of the wall.
Major General Miyake, chief of staff for General Honjo, told the Associated Press tonight:
"Our campaign against bandits will follow the Chinese troops as far as is necessary — to London or Paris even. At least we'll wipe out the bandit menace west of the Lino river."

It is understood the British authorities will allow Miss Madeline Slade, his faithful disciple, to accompany him to prison as personal attendant, as well as his secretary, Mahadey Besai.
Reports were circulated that the government may deport the Mahatma to some small island in the Indian ocean where, isolated and far from the mainland, it would be impossible for his disciples to visit him and hwere there would be no undue commotion if he should die.
