DEFEAT FOR- HIGH CHURCH
(Correspondence of the Associated PTeas.)
, LONDON. May '1.-Th Klkuyu eon
troversyt which threatened a year ago to
disrupt the Church of England, has been
aettled her with hardly a ripple, so petty
has the fight between high and low
church appeared to opposing factions In
view ot the war. It was settled by th
archbishop of Canterbury, th Anglican
primate, on the side of toleration and
marks a decisive defeat of th high
church party.
Klkuyu I a village In tropic Africa.
In June, 1913, a religious conference was
held there In a Kcotch Presbyterian
church, attended by Methodist, Uaptlat,
Presbyterian and Congregational mis
sionaries and also by th two missionary
bishops of th Church of England (Epis
copal). September 30 th Anglican bishop
of Zansibar, Kev. Mr. .Weston, laaued an
attack on tils brother bishops, accusing
them of heresy and schism because of
participating In a service with and ad
ministering communion to nonconform
Irrtsv A t'harrh t arret.
Tli question then resolved itself Into
th historic high and low church quar
rel. High churchmen claimed that th
Anglican church la a part of the universal
or Oatholio church and aa such has noth
ing to do with the Protestant church,
strictly speaking. They further held that'
Anglican clergymen cannot Join In com
munion with nonconformist clergymen,
who, In th Anglican view, are not or
dained ministers of the universal church
sine th principle- of apostolic succes
sion Is dented by th nonconformists.
Therefore, nonconformist ministers ar
only laymen without rellglou authority,
In th high church view, and association
with them would only stand in the way
of the Anglican Ideal of consolidating th
Fngllnh, the Homan Cathollo and Greek
Catholic churches Into on authoritative
churqh.
The low churchmen rallied to the sup-
pott of th African bfuhcpa and accused
tho bishop of Zansibar of trying to dls
nipt the church in order to enforc me
dieval view of authority, whlrti bad
nothing to do with Christianity.
Their Aets Jaattriee.
A conference was held In Lambeth
palace laat July, where evidence waa
taken and submitted to the archbishop
of Canterbury. In his finding, now made
public, the primate aays there la no ob
jection to Bishop Peel of Mombasa and
ISiahop Willie of I'ganda, attending a
Joint Proteatant missionary meeting. H
doclarea that although no sanction would
be given to the acceptance of communion
by members of th Church of England
at the hands of an unepiacopally or
dained minister, the Anglican blshopa at
Klkuyu gav communion to devout Chris
tiana under Unusual flu umstancea. Th
primate finds their a.t Justified, pro-
tiling It Is not regarded a setting a
precedent.
Speaking ot the Klkuyu controversy aet

"lt I a decisive rtufet for the lllshop
of Zansibar and mark an Important ad

(Correapondence of the Associated Press.)
LTCK. East Prussia,' May 2. The de
vastation and destruction visited upon all
eastern East Prussia cannot ' be more
strikingly ' appreciated , than by a trip
from thta'llttl town to CraJevo, a few
miles acroes the border.
The trip supplies a remarkable series
of contrasts that are fundamental and
rfar-reaching. Black Is no more tike white
than thla part of Germany Is Ilk far
western lUiaela - from th standpoint of
population, customs, and the general ap
pearance of the country. '
From Lyck to th border every bouse,
without 'exception, It Is said, ha been
rifVd And partly or entirely torn down.
The broad, well paved road la practically
lined with the 'remnants of substantial
buildings, that In some cases, particu
larly Irt the border town of Prosiken, wer
onoe attractive. .
Along th road, aa along virtually every
road 'of Ita kind In Germany, are shade
tree except Where they have been out
down to allow of artillery fire."' They are
so universal' that one gets used to-them
quite , unconsciously, and Immediately
feels th lack when they disappear.'
. Th peasants, largely of the Polish
type, appear to be r self -respecting and
pleasant. They greet th casual passerby
miK-h aa th farmer In America says
"How do you do?" to a stranger along
the ; road, ' but with the same ting of
equality In th greeting.
Mow' a Desert Waste.
Th one pleasant and prosperous coun
tryside from Lyck to th 'border has been
turned Into a desert . waste. In village

substantial chimney that even fire will

First of all th devastation baa ceased.
Not a house haa been leveled and not a
building 'damaged. But In their very
character the bouses proclaim th mArked
contrast. The brick has given . way to
thatched huts, low,' "one-story affairs, that
fairly reek with filth and grime-

recently, smirking, groveling peasants,
who bowed almost to the ground again
and again, as long aa the automobile waa
In alglit. They showed the same servility
to the military everywhere In command
of the situation, and were quite oblivious
of the scornful reception of their abject
salutations.
As quickly as the character ef the
house had changed, so had the tree
vanished, and for thousands of yards
stretched ' a bare, black road, oozy and
treacherous, over whlah th automobile
made their way with difficulty. '

Th nearest approach to similarity was
th Inevitable market square, almost a

brick buildings, often of handsome con
