BHANGHAI,

HONGKONG,

An ideal travelling companion for a pretty girl is John, whose last name must be Bull. After escorting Elsie Neal, musical comedy duncer, on a European vacation, he's shown here with her as they returned to New York. John docen't how! at night, or chase cats, or even cat, for he's made of papier mache. But his ferocious physiognomy was plenty of protection against unwelcome attentions to his winsome mistress.

ALARMING REPORT.

A constitutional question of the utmost importance, raising issues beyond the sphere of party politles, will be brought before the Auturan Session of the Church Assembly next week by a motion notice of which was given yesterday says the' Morning Post of 'Nov. 6.

When the motion comes up for discussion it will be 'alleged that, notwithstanding the assurances of the Bishops that their new, policy as set forth after the Lambeth con. ference is provisional and not in- tended as a defiance of Parliament,; officials of the Church Assembly are concluding secret negotiations with the privileged Presses. These negotiations, It is alleged, have re- ference to the publication of the new Prayer Book which Parliament refused to sanction, in the event of the Bishops deciding in favour of publication.

A similar and, in this case, an unqualified-allegation has, in fact, already been made unofficially by the Bishop of Worcester, Dr. Pearce." understand," he wrote a Diocesan Magazine for November, "that the Book of 1928 is to be published by the privileged Presses."

in

"Practically Completed."

The motion which will come be fore the Church Assembly is to bej moved by the Rev. Charles E. Douglas, of the Southwark Diocese, in the form of an amendment to a proposal standing in the name of Lord Hugh Cecil to continue the provisional Standing Order until the dissolution of the Convocations next year. The amendment runs:

"That the Standing Orders Com-i mitte be instructed to report what immediate amendment of the Stand- ing Orders is required torcheck the Krowing power of officials paid by the Assembly and other corpora- Lions, Commissions, &c., to influence both the legislative and executive activities of the Church without! the knowledge of the Assembly."

Mr. Douglas told me yesterday that he had put down his motion with the gravest reluctance.

"We had hoped that the matter could stand over until new Con- vocations were elected next year," he said. "But it is impossible to pass over in silence the fact that the Secretary of the Board of Finance,: Canon Partridge, and the Secretary of the Assembly itself, Sir Philip Baker-Wibraham, have practically completed arrangemente with Mr. Milford, of the Oxford University Press, for the general issue of the Revised Prayer Book, relected by Parliament, subject to the Bishops deciding to challenge the Act of Uniformity. "Such prejudicing of a momentous issue not yet decided is as irregular as if the Admiralty were to make arrangements for the placing of contracts for battleships, before Parliament had even been asked to vote the programme for their construction. The. Assembly might just as well go out of bual- ness altogether if its officials cen secretly fetter its discretion in such away.
