CONENTION TOBAR *ROLTIEAL SSES Bishop Freeman Says Church, Meeting Has “Larger | Business.” ‘The General Convention of the Epis- copal Church, which convenes in Wash- ington in the near future, will not en- gage in any discussion of political issue: the Right Rev. James E. Freemai Bishop of Washington, declared yester- day in the course of an address af exercises commemorating the fifth an- niversary of his consecration as bishop of this diocese. ‘The services in celebration of the an niversary were held at 11 o'clock in the Church of the Epiphany, where | Bishop - Freeman was consecrated ol Freeman declared. s and disharmony have halted Christian ! progress far gemerations. Bitter feuds | and rivalries have at times almost de- | stroyed the usefulness of the church | But we are entering upon a better day and are beginning to realize that tem: peramental differences and early back. grounds largely affect our political an religious points of view. Overemphasi: upon denominational passwords or part. shibboleths have no place in this; modern age.” | Answering a question as to whether the convention would consider politic: issues of the moment, the bishop re: plied: “No, it is not for It has a far larger business and. Bishop Freeman said he was well | satisfied with the evident growth of good feeling and the spirit of fellowship of the clergy and people generally in | Washington. He said he has found increasing in- | terest over the country in the Wash- ington Cathedral, a result, he said, of its’ being located in Washington an “cast on broad Christian lines.” Bishop Freeman is a native of New | York City. He came to the ministry from the business world, having been a railroad executive before studying for holy orders. Before coming to Wash- ington he held parishes in New York | State and Minnesota. GOODYEAR FIRM LIKELY | TO GET ZEPPELIN JOB! Becretary Wilbur Overrules Protest | in Competition for Building | Huge Dirigible. ‘The protest of the American Brown- | Boveri Electric Corporation of Camden, N. J., over the order of merit assigned | it by a naval board in its efforts to | secure the contract for the construc- tion of the Navy's first mammoth dirigible, which will be about three | times the.size of the Los Angeles, was overruled yesterday by Secretary Wil- bur. Negotiations are continuing, the | Becretary : said, with the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation of Akron, Ohio, | which ‘was “assigned the highest mark for merit in the recent competition in- viting “designs for the new Leviathan of the air. The Goodyear firm will likely be awarded the contract for con- structing this craft, which will be the largest dirigible in the world. vision by Congress enabled the Navy Department to spend $5,500,000 for one glant dirigible or $8,000,000 for two, and upon this basis the contract will most likely be framed. Three de- signs were submitted by the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. Bids in the competition were apened. August 10, and the naval board made its order of merit rating on September 5. Ten days later the American Brown- Boveri lodged its protest with Secre- tary Wilbur, who submitted the ques- tion to the judge advocate general of the Navy. Following a report from that official, Mr. Wilbur handed down today’s decision. NATIONALISTIC cfisss NEED MORE POPULATION Scholar Says Census Shows Num- ber of Inhabitants Remained Stationary 200 Years. PEKING (#).—Gen. Ho Chi-kung, the Nationalist mayor of Peking, has Jaunched a campaign to increase China’s birthrate. He was indignant at the discovery that China's population had remained stationary at 400,000,000 for more than 200 years. Mayor Ho, a Chinese scholar, about 30 years old, says that according to a census taken in the days of Emperor Chien Lung there were 400,000,000 Chi- nese then. Though more than two cen- turies have passed, yet China’s popula- tion is still recorded at 400,000,000, while the populations of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Russia, Germany and France have shown re- | markable increases. The mayor attributes this partly to the backward state of Chinese medical science, which has permitted a high mortality rate to develop among the poorer classes. NEW RESEARCH UNEARTHS ANCIENT BIBLE CITIES Dwir, Also Known as Kiryath Sefer, “Town of the Book,” Is Discovered. JERUSALEM (#).—In its endeavors to locate the places mentioned in the Bible, the American School of Oriental Research has now unearthed ancient Dwir, referred to at various points, for instance. in the Book of the Chron- icles, either under this name or the name of Kiryath Sefer ‘The latter means ‘“Town of the | Book,” and one opinion therefore has it that in the time of the kings the state archives were kept there. Verious indications led Prof. F. W. Albright, the director of the institute, to assume -that the lost town must have been situuated on the site of Tel Mirsim near ieba. The excavations undertaken by Prof. Albright at this spot proved his assumption to have been correct to a surprising degree. NOTED RUSSIAN DANCER | BERLIN (#).—Whenever Anna Pav lova. famous Russian dancer, decides to retire from the stage she need not! worry iest the world forget her. Prof. Ernest Oppler, one of the best known painte of Germany, has evolved such an unusual collection of canvases depicting her in characteristic poses that future generations, strolling through the art galleries of Europe, will be able to visualize Paviova's incom- parable grace and the rhythm of her motions. Oppler’s life work is the pictorial rep- resentation of motion as embodied in the dance. Anna Pavlova furnished him the original inspiration. He fol- lowed her around through the capitals of Europe, sitting in the darkened par- quets of theaters and opera houses and making mental notes of her movements. Then, as he returned to his hotel room, he would draw from memoi what he had seen. Dozens of su sketches were made, for instance, before | he started to paint Paviova as dancing | her celebrated “Dying Swan.” It is one of his masterpieces, and shows the great Russian as a shinning figure of light on & background of blue.
