Colombian Envoy.

Colombian Envoy
Washington, Dec. DR. Herran,
the Colombian charge d'affaires. called
at the state department during the
day for the first time in many weeks
for the purpose. he said. Of informing
Secretary Hay of General Reyes ar
rival here, of the object of his mis-
sion and to pay a friendly call upon
the secretary. DR.. Herran was accord
ed the unusual courtesy of being re-
ceived in the secretary's private office
instead of the regular diplomatic room.
DR.. F1erran made long visit and. al
though at it's close he said there was
no announcement to make and that no
date for the reception of General
Reyes had been arranged. it can be
stated that he was advised of the ex-
act attitude which the Washington
government will assume toward the
special envoy. If General Reyes is
pleased to meet the state department
officials on the ground fixed by them
and for the purpose which they named
the arrangement of peace terms be-
tween Colombia and the new republic
of Panama-he will be cordially re-
ceived. Otherwise his visit to the de-
partment will be fruitless and his mis-
sion to Washington a failure.

Expansion
and
Contraction

Great interest is ex-
pressed in the building
plans for this business.
The vast excavation in
our south block occa-
sions the inquiries. 1t is
also the prophecy Of the
structure that rapidly as
may be will arise.
WHY BUILD? Because the
WANAMAKER business has out
grown the Stewart Store. To-
day every foot OF the sixteen
floors planned for in that new
building is needed in addition
to the space in the present
store.
WHY BUILD HERE, DOWN.
TOWN? Because it is the CEN
ter of Greater New York. The
bigger the city the more central
the center. Because there are
more railroads, surface, ele-
waited, underground, passing
by and converging at these
properties than at any other
point.
Meantime the goods are com.
pressed-but not the business.
Everything that wits can sug
gest to make each cubic foot
do double duty is being done
The task is hard. Made so BY
the big broad-gauge way ir
which our merchandise mana
gers have provided the stocks
to meet your Autumn anc
Winter demands.
Bear in mind: The temporary
contraction in room will be at
tended by an expansion OF mer
chandise. WANAMAKER'S takes
no backward steps. In all the
forty.two years OF continuous
retailing steady and healthfuI
expansion has Ibeen the unfail

Limitations make inconven.

that you shall not feel them.

CRITICISE A NEW CHURCH PLAN
Presbyterians Think 1t BOOms Young
Pastor Reg ardless Of Conditions.

pfeSbyteriAns Think 1t Blooms YOUNG
Pastor Regardless Of Conditions.
Presbyterians in New York are divided
in opinion over the project OF the Church
Extension Committee OF the Presbytery
to establish new church ON site it has
purchased in 1l5th street, east OF st. Nicholas
avenue. 1t is said that the committee
has lent itself to plan Of friends Of popu-
lar young Bronx pastor. to establish large
church in Manhattan and place him at the
head of It, and that as part OF the plan q
large amount Of the money subscribed
for the work Of the Church Extension Com
mittee at it's meeting at Carnegie Hall
last May was given by this young mans
friends, among whom are numbered several
Of the more celebrated OF New York's
wealthy families.
Complaint il made that tie site purchased
BY the committee infringes on the terri
tory Of two existing churches, the Morning
side and the New York. the former at l22d
street and the latter at l2ath. A Presby-
terrain pastor asked yesterday why none
OF the 500. 600 raised at the Carnegie Hall
meeting last May WAS used for the pay
ment OF existing debts on New York Pres
byterian churches before this grant is
considered.
-Those familiar with Presbyterian con-
ditions in Harlem" said this pastor, do
not see the need Of church In l15th street.
In fact do not see how the Morningside
Church will be able to survive il the plans
OF the committee are carried through and
a large church built on the eastern edge
of it's territory
THE purchase OF this site il but another
evidence OF mistaken policy that has
characterized the work Of the Presbyterian
Church Extension and Sunday School
committees for number OF years. Calvary
Church, in East 1l8th street. abandoned
for some years. Is one violence Of 1t; another
is the recent starting Of a Sunday school
In The Bronx in the field Of another Presby-
terrain Church without asking the pastor g
sanction There is plenty Of room for moro
Presbyterian churches in both Manhattan
and The Bronx, but the field should be stud
led before work is begun"
