BISHOP DoANE has made public q
statement that there will be deficit OF
100000 10 the treasury OF the Episco'
pal bosrd Of missions on September l
because there have been fewer gifts
and increased expenditures for work 10
the new possessions. He urges that all
parishes make special offerings for the
fund and that in the places OF summer
resort an appeal be made and al offer
tory taken from the congregations
gathered there on August %. The ex-
perience of most people is that those
who 90 out summerlng leave care be-
hind aud are glad to escape appeals for
missionary purposes. Then, too, many
such people "go broke" early 10 the
season and If they contributed to mis-
sion work would not have enough
money left with which to get home.

It's earlier chapters have air of stilted rus

jilts the suddenly dsinherited hero in the good

Archdeacon Brady has given in this volume an
entertaining account OF his experiences in the
navy and army Of the United States, first as a
cadet in the Naval Academy, then as chaplain
in the late Spanish war. His "reminiscences OF
life al Annapolis are full of breezy vigor 1t is
by means an easy life; it is one Of exacting
discipline and study. Yet the cadets manage
10 get plenty Of schoolboy fun out of it. It is a
curious mixture.
At one moment a boy OF sixteen may be in
virtual command Of 2,000-ton ship or he may
be running 5000 horsepower engine. He may
be drilling four hundred other students or mix
ing deadly explosive, or in charge OF eight
inch gun; by contrast, and during the next half
hour possibly, he is being inspected to see that
his shoes are Clean his jacket brushed and his
face properly Shaved; or he may be reported for
crossing the grass or for smoking cigarette or
for wearing a non-regulation collar.
Attendance at church. being compulsory. is
correspondingly disliked, and within such limit
as they may the cadets express their dislike
M Brady tells OF missionary sermon once
preached in the academy chapel, when the
preacher made piteous appeal for money. for
pennies even, and though the cadets were never
IN the habit Of contributing to the plates one
enterprising senior had provided three hundred
copper cents which he distributed to his fellows:
Each one dropped in one copper cent with an
ominous crash. and then deliberately handed the
Plate 10 the next boy, who did the same thing
II rained copper cents for about ten minutes
The chaplain was dreadfully disconnected the
officers fdgcted and looked aghast-some Of

As TO hazing Mr.. Brady confesses that his
views are not what they once were. At the
Naval Academy he assures Us il was in his day
mostly conceived in q spirit Of harmless fun,
and the man who had taken enough interest in
you TO run you usually felt il incumbent on
him befriend you all the rest Of the course.
And, indeed, not one Of the practices that Mr..
Brady mentions is Of such serious and danger
Gus character as are those that not long since
were brought TO the public's attention at the
sister institution the Hudson. PhilO McGiffin
was a contemporary Of the author at the
academy, and Mr.. Brady has much 10 say about
him, both one OF the original and reckless
spirits among the students and as a commander
OF a Chinese battleship in the war with Japan,
whose desperate bravery brought him 10 a pitt
able death. He il was who put a hopelessly
stupid mathematical student up TO describing

ton on this side of the water at least,
though it is said that after the president
has thoroughly considered the matter
some general statement may Ice made as
to the points developed.
The British answer is quite long. as
such documents go, and would make
about two newspaper columns. The tone
of the reply is distinctly friendly through
out, particularly so in the concluding AS
surances of good will and Il desire to co.
operate in the realization of this under
taking. Although the text is withheld it
is understood that the answer takes up
each of the three amendments made by
the senate and presents the difficulties in
the way of asserting to them. As 10 the
amendment which struck out all that
clause of the treaty inviting other mari
time nations To concur in the ncutralizin2
Of the canal. the British view is that
while the United States and Great Brit
ain can bind themselves by treaty to
neutralizc the canal they cannot make
this action binding on all other govern
ments unless these governments concur.

a step is too %farrcaching to be taken
