U. S. MISSIONARY IS CAPTIVE OF CHINESE

Last Reported to Be “Teacher” of Red Army. Peiping, China. —Bert Nelson. American missionary whose house is Minneapolis, has finished a year in the hands of Communist bandits in Honan province. Nelson, a worker for the Lutheran United mission, was captured at Uwangchan, Honan, on October 5, 1830, by members the "first red army” of Honan. and has been held captive ever since. For several weeks nothing has been heard from Nelson, who wrote the last letter received by his family in July, reporting lie was rx»t badly treated, and that the Communists had appointed him as their “English teacher." At that time, Nelson was held In the Communist camp within two days’ Journey from Hankow, and within 40 miles of a large camp of government troops. The latter have never made

The mission of which he is a member has made determined efforts to release him, and paid a ransom of more than SIO,OOO to the Communists, who had promised to let the missionary loose when this sum was delivered. getting the money, they changed their minds, and said they would keep him until they had also received tennis balls and racquets, volley balls, a radio set, English books, a supply of gasoline and arms and ammunition. The mission sent most of the articles demanded, but said they could not supply arms nnd ammunition, because d was contrary to mission principles. Even after receiving the articles they asked, the Communists decided to keep Nelson a captive. They

TO LIFT RESORT’S WATER 3,000 FEET

Engineering Task Will Require Gigantic Pumps. Flagstaff. Ariz.—The gigantic engi neering task of bringing water from springs near the bottom of the Grand canyon to supply the tourist resort on the south rim will be started soon. Water will tie pumped from Garden creek, 3,075 feet under the canyon rim. to the park headquarters and tourist hotel, M. IL Tillotson, superin tendent of the Grand Canyon National park, has announced. The project will be completed in four months. Contracts were awarded to a Los Angeles firm recently to lay almost two miles of 5-inch steel pipe from the springs to the top of the canyon walls. The project will be one of the most unique attempted in Arizona, because of the dangerous route laid out for the, pipe line and the great pressure necessary to force the water more than a half-mile almost straight upward. Since the establishment of the resort on the rim of the Grand canyou many years ago, water has been shipped by railroad tank cars for 100 miles. Flagstaff and Del Rio, Arlz., have been the sources. Erection of an 8,000-foot transportation cable, extending from a point near the springs to the village on the can yon brink, will begin operations. The cableway is to be In four sections,

Tvedt, was captured with Nelson. but the Communists let him go after the mission paid SIO,OOO for his release; ' • The American legation In Peiping end the consul-general in Hankow have written doxeps of notes to the Chinese government asking that troops be sent to rescue Nelson, but nothing has been done. The Chinese government agreed on several occasions to send a relief expedition, but nothing came of these promises. It is believed that the length of Nelson’s period of capture constitutes a record in China. At the tinfe he was captured, more than forty missionaries of different nationalities were held captive in different parts of China, but all of these have since died, been killed or released.

with transfer facilities at each station for safety purposes. The giant 17 stage pumps forcing the water from the springs will be electrically driven. Three separate conduits for transmitting the electrical power will follow the routing of the pipe line. This is the second huge water project undertaken at the Grand canyon.

MAKING APOLOGIES By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Former Dean of Men, Univer»ity of Illinois.

I suppose at one time or another in his life each one of us innocently or

accidently or under the stress of emotion does something rude or annoying or painful to his friends. FToyd kicked me on my corn as we were starting to church last Sunday. but, of course, that was an accident. for which he begged my pardon at once. Mrs. Core's statements

irritated me beyond control a few months ago, and I blurted out just what I thought. It was the truth, which I uttered, but rather rude, cruel truth which wounded her pride ami brought her to tears. I knew at once that 1 had done a discourteous thing, and I was truly sorry and said so almost as soon as my tongue had slipped to wound her. She has never gotten oyer it. howev• ••. ■ Sheehan became very angry with me last summer about a'tiiing which I had in fact not done at all. but of which he could not be convinced. After questioning my veracity he said some extremely insolent tilings and slammed the door as he went out of the room. Now Sheehan is young and impulsive, and will probably have more self control twenty years from now than at present, and I made some allowances for his rage. , ' I saw him frequently afterwards, but he never saw me.
