EPISCOPAL oHURoH ARMY.
A Post Established In St. Johns
Par1sh.


The Episcopal Church Army will open
post in st. Johns parish despite the
fact that the Rev DIR. E. L. Stoddard
predicted on Sunday morning last that
there would be no branch of the organi-
zation in connection with his church. He
gave as his reasons for not inaugurating
post on the Hill that it would inter-
fere with the work already being done by
the St. Andrews Workingmen's Associa-
ton. He told me that he did not want
to interfere with the plans of A. L.
Clements, who is in charge of the Work
ingmen's Association. 1t appears, how
ever, that Mr.. Clements has become thor
oughly converted to the Church Army
and he is even more anxious to have a
branch of the organization in connection
with St. Johns. The result is that the
use of ST. Andrews Workingmen's Asso-
cations rooms for the summer has been
offered to General Hadley and he has
accepted the offer. He will hold the first
regular service of the Church Army in
this city in the rooms in Armory Hall
tomorrow afternoon at 2:3o o'clock.
Several Of the army officers will be pres
ent and General Hadley has sent word
that he may be on hand himself to con-
duct the meeting and start the movement
on its way Meetings will be held every
Sunday Afternoon They will be preced-
ed by open air meetings on Coffin House
Square. If enough interest in displayed
in the work General Hadley will station
officers here permanently. and the post
will be open every night in the week.
DR.. Ssoddard was seen last night by a
News reporter.

bringing the Church Army here at the

to the step that has been taken. The St.
Andrews Workingmen's Association has
closed for the summer. Mr.. Clements
end Mrs. Collard went to New York on
their own hook and offered the use of the
associations rooms to General Hadley.
No provision has been made however,
for the support of officers. The army
must raise its own expenses. If it proves
a success the church may lend it some as
sistance later. 1t would have been my
plan to wait awhile and look into the
thing q little further before deciding the
question l like to see pretty nearly how
a thing is coming out before l lend it my
support. I should like to have seen ample
provision made for sustaining the move
ment before starting a post in this par

an interview, is reported as saying that
the alleged demands of the United States

justified. Spain would see that justice is
done.

wards Spain: but, if the United States
departs from a friendly attitude, Spain
will be able to defend her rights"
