NEW BRITAIN DAILY HE mlw‘ FLEET PREPARING 10 AFTACK O1HU Naval Maneuvers in Pacific About to Start By The Associated Press. Ban’ Francisco, Calif., April 17.— The strategical importance of the Island of Oahu in the defense of the United States was * belng brought | home to the officers and men of the Armada of America as the staffs of Therein ls found the motive for the present manouvers and the rea. son for the all but sllent, darkened and radio-sealed procession of ves. sels known as the United States grand fleet over the Pacific bound for Hawall tonight—to ascertain as closely as possible the strength of or weakness of the defenses of the Kkoystone of the nation's defenses in this ocean. The fleet left 8an Fran- clsco three days ago, ENGLISH BIBLE 1S 400 YEARS LD DISARMAMENT BILL /INDUTCH CHAMBER iWould Cut Army From 327,000 {o Security Force of 25,000 | The Hague, April 17 A pro- | Ject. for disarmament, to be opera- tive as from January 1, 1926, ha been introduced in the Duteh cham- ber by the Soclal Democratic party Its main provisions are to cut down the standing army from the igh command pored aver mana S{ill Tops {he Best Sellers, 120, mer, 'n the active tores an and charts today in a final check ot plans for the fleet's attack against the island, in the hunds of a theore- tical enemy. iy It was pointed out in connection ‘with the maneuvers that the terri- tory of Hawall is an integral part of the United States having been an-|' nexed as was Texas, Situated near the geographical |eral Council of Churches sald today | center of the North Pacifie, Hon- | olulu's status as a port of call makes | 1t worthy of its claim that it is the | “cross roads of the Pacific.” But| more important to the naval and | military strategists is the fact that| Oahu s the hub of the natfon's de- fense of the Pacific coast and acts as | a buffer between the coast from | Alaska to the Canal Zone, and any | enemy that might move across the Pacific toward the mainland United Btates. | It the Islands were held by such | enemy they would constitute a' threat of formidable dimension against the coast, it has been point- ed out. At a speed of 15 knots, well within the capabilities of a modern fleet, an enemy based on Honolulu could arrive off any United States port from Stika to San Diego in| from six to seven days. As the fs- | lands are in or near all trade routes across the North Pacific and be-| tween the mainland and Australia, an enemy in possession would be| placed favorable to {ntercept all'! these trade routes effectually. On the other hand, it has been pointed out, an enemy bent on at- tacking the mainland of the United | States must pass near Hawali and if the United States fleet were based there he would hardly dare pass them because that would permit fhfl.‘ American fleet to fall upon hiy rear | and interrupt his line of communi- | cations, The distance ot the islands from | the Pacific coast introduces some | difficulties to be solved in proving| for thelr adequate defenss, Their remoteness from any possible enemy simplifies to some extent the defense of any of the United States con- tinental territory. Their comparatively small area and location make them {immune | from capture by any except an over- | seas expedition on a considerable scale. Similarly, in case of anemy attack, they eould be relleved only by a nava?! force such es the one which 1s steaming foday toward its cbjective. The defenses of Oahu, the enly fortified island in the group, have been strengthened greatly in recent years to provide against attack by .new and improved weapons of war- ‘fare. Like other defenses, these can- not be sald to he completa, for this can never be determined until ac- tually subjected to the test of war, 1t has been pointed out, In certain respects the defenses ars known to be weak and in certain other re- apects an actual attack might show them to be inadequate, Walk-Over Store News Leading Churchman Says Washinzton, April 17. —The Bible “still completely overtops all other t sellers’,” Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert, general secretary of the Fed. in a statement calling attention to the 400th anniversary of the first translation of the New Testament from Greek into Inglish, to be ob- gerved this year. Only one copy of the English Bl. ble, printed by Willlam Tyndale, its translator, Is extant, the statement said, 1 it is at Bristol, England. Tynd s life and work will recei: special attention during the obser ance, which will bring forth exhibits of rare biblical editions by university and public libraries, “Tyndale's work shaped the whole course of succeeding {ranslations, from the famone C‘overdale Bible to the King ames version In the statement continued. “Pas and Sunday school workers are be- ing urged by the council to stress the Importance of this anniv. throughout the year. The transla- tion of the Bible from the original tongue, Tyndale's herolsm and mar- tyrdom and the power of the pript- ing press. are subjects suggested for discussion,” The international council of reli- glous education, Chicago, is promot- ing interest in the movement, as are the American Bible society, the American Library association, and the National Association of Book Publishera.

Specially designed salvage | ships were sent to the scene with | the hope of being able to carry out | | thelr purpose. Members of the ex- | | pedition have come to London for ! | additlonal supplies and diving ap- paratus and, according to their re- | ports, 63 ships were lost on which | there were gold, precious stones and | atatuary which the Turks had re- | moved trom Greek towns.
