In

SHANGHAI,
Oct.
29:
(CP)
The
press
today
quoted
travelers
from
Kobe,
Japan,
as
saying
that
the
German
liner
Scharnhorst
was
being
iitted
out
as
an
armed
raider
to
prey
on
Pacific
shipping.
British
naval
officials
were,
however,
non-committal.

Task
Of

i,
James
Coleman,
inspector
of
Indian
Agencies,
how
bn
a
tour
of
Northern
British
Columbia
villages
on
official
duties,
was
surprised
to
find
at
Aiyansh,
one
of
the
villages
on
the
upper
Naas
River,
a
full-fledged
and
well
equipped
printing
plant
and
the
natives
there
engaged
in
the
gigantic
undertaking
of
translating
the
Bible
and
printing
it
in
the
Nishga
language.
They
have
been
at
the
job
for
some
fifteen
years
now
and
have
produced
two
or
three
books
of
the
New
Testament.
Mr.
Coleman
is
doubtful
if
they
will
ever
complete
the
whole
Bible.
Printing
was
introduced
years
ago
at
Aiyansh
by
the
veteran
and
colorful
missionary,
Rev.
J.
B.
McCullagh,
who
died
in
1921
but
the
imprint
of
whose
ecclesiastical
ministrations
will
long
remain
in
the
village
where
he
labored
so
long
and
so
assiduously.
The
older
natives
still
carry
on
the
printing,
maintaining
a
standard
quite
as
high
as
that
which
was
developed
by
Mr.
McCullagh.
At
one
time,
the
natives
of
Aiyansh
used
to
get
out
a
periodical
publication
regularly
but
they
are
not
doing
that
now.
However,
they
engage
in
a
miscellany
of
printing
work
on
occasion.
Their
work
on
the
Bible
is
rather
spasmodic
but
is
being
carried
on.
