SPIRITUALISM
Frauds"
Secret Report Denounces Seance
Action Against Clergy
By A Correspondent
The Church of England plans war on Spiritualism.
In great secrecy a committee of pro- minent churchmen, doctors, and scientists have been investigating the claims of me- diums.
Their report, signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, will be issued in a few weeks.
I am able to reveal that the Church's attack will be threefold.
Clergymen who openly practise Spiritualism will be severely disciplined,
Legal proceedings will be instituted against certain mediums on the grounds of false pretences.
In co-operation with a group of eminent doctors a nation-wide campaign will be undertaken to warn the public against the dangers of "inkering with the
unknown."
Church authorities have long felt alarm at the growth of Spiritualism. The Church of England in part- cular has been hard hit. Thousands
of members of congregations all over the country have gone over to this new falth. A number of the clergy are open and avowed Spiritualists.
The Bishop of London, Dr. Win- nington Ingram, relollated by for- bidding any church or church build- Ing to be used for seances.
A BISHOP'S BAN
Then the Church decided on more drastic action. Under the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission a. com- mittee was appointed to go into the whole Spiritualist movement.
The president of this committee,
which included a number of high women,
Church dignitories and two was the Bishop of Rochester.
"We feel that attempts to com-
municate through mediums with Those in the other world is wrong, dangerous, dishonouring to the dead, and a waste of time for the Ilving," said a member of the com- mittee.
To enable everyone to hear of the most Important events loud-speakers are to be erected in all lange German and Austrian towns. The picture shows one of the new loud-speaker-
columns.

J.L. Baird's New Marvel
A
SECRET "See-all" apparatus, bringing towns 50-100 miles away to the dashboards of British warplanes, has been invented, says a correspondent in the Dally
Sketch.
This magle eye of the air has passed tests in a 'plane at the Crystal Palace, London. Experts have bailed it as a major air invention of the century.
J. L. Baird-former 30s.-a-week Scots scientist and ploneer of television-talked to me last night of this, his latest and greatest Invention, aboard the liner Strathaird, bound for Australia.
TEST ON LINER
He intends testing the apparatus on the bridge of
fog 30 miles away. thet boat, for it also enables a ship's pilot to see through
"The set can be comfortably carried in the cockpit of the plane and enables the crew of a bomber to see on a ground glass screen a town 50-100 miles away," he said.
3,700 SANDBAGS TO PROTECT
ONE WINDOW
Officially approved protection for windows of build- ings against bomb splinters in the event of air raids is too expensive even for the Army.
This was revealed at Wellington Barracks recently when the 1st Batt. Grenadier Guards and 1st Batt. Cold- Stream Guards gave an anti-air raid precautions demon- stration,
One window on the ground floor of a building was guarded with sandbags according to Government and War Office recom-
"Even those who practise it admitmendations, its dangers, and further admit that it is possible to get into contact with evil spirits who can do nothing but
.harm.
We believe that the mediums, consciously or unconsciously, read the thoughts of the people who come to them, and that this is the explana- tion of the revelations which appear to come from the other world.

The News Chronicle representative did not count the hundreds of win- dows at the barracks, but this was the specification for protecting this particular one:
