LOCAL ITALIANS
 DISCREDIT CABLES
Think the Reports of Atrocities in Tripoli Are Sent From Turk
 ish Sources

The members of the local Italian colony are much interested in the war that is now being waged with Turkey in Tripoli.
 That the war will be prolonged seems to be the prevailing opinion, due to fhe fact that the Turks and Arabs are avoid ing big battles and are conducting a guerrilla style of warfare.
 It is predicted that the trouble will no. be settled for many months and that Italy will have to maintain a large army if TIipoli for at least a year.
 They generally discredit the dispatches In which gross atrocities are charged to the soldiers of the Italian army, and say it is utterly repugnant to the Italian spirit for the offenses charged to have been committed. They ascribe the allegations as coming from the Turkish headquarters and as an attempt to gain sympathy from the European powers, and in the hope oi interference by them.
 As nation the Italians claim to rev erence womanhood and children now as fin all the past ages, and point to the fact that in all the history of Italy, from the dawn of civilization to the presen, day, not one single instance is recorded of Italian soldiery committing such atrocities as are now charged against them in the present war. They state the strict censorship established by the Ital- ian government makes 1t difficult to get reliable news from the front

lyn Efforts to create one strong church, with buildings large enough to make an impression on a city of great enterprises, have been put forth by Disciples for some years. One of the middle west societies has discussed possible cooperation by ie- moving. it's headquarters to New York. and assisting to erect a building that might serve for itself and for conSrega- ton. In part because of these efforts the consolidation of the two largest congre- gations, as now planned, is of interest to Disciples throughout the west. A loca- ton for the new s175,ooO plant has not yet been selected.
 There is talk now of plant, not cost ing merely the amount available, but S6O0,0O0 at least. It is held that expendi- ture of the last named sum will be nec- cssary if impression is to be made upon New York public. Not counting St. Thomas Episcopal church, under construc- ton at the cost of S1,0OO,000, or any of the chapels forming part of the cathedral of St. John the Divine, no fewer than four churches are under construction at the moment on Manhattan Island, or will he within a few weeks, which will cost S4Oo- OO0 to $600,oo0 each. All are protestant. IF Catholic ones be included. the number is not four, but Seyen

 in some measure, contributing Easter of- ferings each year to be divided equally between work for white and colored people.
 At special meeting of the House of Bishops just held, the Rev. Henry St. George Tucker, a native of Virginia and son of Bishop Coadjutor Tucker If Southern Virginia, was elected Bishop of Kyoto, Japan, and the Rev. G. Trumbull Huntington, a native of Connecticut and graduate of Yale, to be bishop for new district of Wuhu, China. MT. Tucker is president of St. Paul's college, Tokyo. If he accepts his election there will be two bishops named Tucker. father and son, the first time in the history of the church that two men so related have sat in the house of bishops at the same time. It is said not to be essential that these new missionary bishops return to the United States to be consecrated. Still another rare case will occur of conse- crating new men on the mission fields.
 Bishop Rowe of Alaska, one of the best known missionaries in America, was transferred to South Dakota on account of the state of his health. He has been transferred once before for the same rea- son, but declined to change, and many friends believe he will again decline. A proposition to create an Indian dis- trict in South Dakota and elect an Amer ican Indian for bishop was negatived. In part 1t is said that because just now there happens to be no Indian Episcopal minister possessed of the episcopal abil- ity and experience. At any rate, siioii ia said to be the view of those having the election to make. Similarly, district of Panama was postponed, which fact many Episcopalians regret, seeing the development that must take place on the isthmus in the next two years, or before there will agaip be opportunity to elect,

founded in vast numbers, and supported by private gifts sent from the United States. These are laying the founda- tions for a public school system. For the most part, and by agreement, Euro pean missionaries have the fields in Southern China, while American and Cam adian societies have those of the north ern part This explains why American news Is so much more largely that of Picking and of Shanghai than of Canton and Hong Kong.
 One missionary society, founded in England but having offices in Canada and the United States, and supported by Americans in generous measure, has 800 missionaries in and near Hankow and to the west of that city. It was established to go into untrodden fields. The odd thing about 1t, making it unlike every other society in the world, is that it does not guarantee salaries to it's mis- sionaries. It does not even guarantee liviNg support. It never appeals for money, but relies for gifts wholly upon prayer. It promises it's missionaries that 1t will pray for gifts, and will send them money for maintenance if God puts it into the hearts of anybody to send them money for that purpose. If no money comes the missionaries, even if away off in the heart of China, get nothing. It is interesting to note that none of them have yet starved and that many men and women are willing to go out on these terms.
 Christian people, those in China and those out of it. have long looked for the events that seem imminent. They believe their work is expressing itself in this form. They have not sought the downfall of the Manchu dynasty, but they have worked and prayed for the uplift nf TIa ar,Ix ,taI thing about it all is that it has come fifty years sooner than any one of them dared it might. At the moment through out Christian America and all the rest of the Christian world, almost every schedule of prayers. agreed upon in ad- vance. has been dropped and prayers are being made for the success of a newer and better China, with as little blood shed as possible. The millions of mis- sionary money now going to China will likely be doubled or trebled if events seem to prove the need.

the northwest, but strategic centerS Of America, the largest ones, for all cannot be honored, are being recognized by the Vatican.
 It had been the intention of the Pope to hold consistory in January, date not set, and not to hold one during the Ital- ian jubilee year. The decision to call enc this month was made suddenly, and owing wholly to the lack of members of curia. Many members of the curia are advanced in years and some are poor in health. The Italian strength of the Sacred college is relatively small, and the serious illness Of Cardinal Capecelatro, whose death may be announced any day, since he is nearly SS years of age, also pressed for an early date for a consistory and led the Pope to change his decision. The present number Of cardinals is but 46, or with passing of the Archbishop of Capua, 45
 Of the new cardinals seven are Italians, and the entire seven will be available for the work of the curia. They will in- crease the Italian strength in the collage to 3s, and the entire strength of the col lege to 63, or 62 if the aged Archbishop of Capua does not survive. There will still lack the two-thirds Italian majority, showing that Pope Plus is not concerned lest conclave elect his successor from a foreign country. Of that contingent there is said to be really no danger, and an Italian majority is less important than curia members to perform the heavy ad- niinistrative work of the church.
 The English speaking cardinals among the new ones to be named are three Westminster, New York and Boston; the French three; the German two, and the American and Spanish one each. The or dcrs get two representatives, included in the Italian seven, there being at the mo- ment only one cardinal, Gotti of the Bare foot Carmelites, in the college as repre- sentative of the orders: a very unusual circumstance. Some politics enters into the new selections, and failure to select, especially Austria and Portugal, fin which countries differences have broken out be- tween governments and the Vatican. The advance publication, of prospective names is unusual, showing that the Vatican or somebody in it is adopting new publicity methods It is not unlikely that uddi- tional names may be added to the list be- fore November 27, especially an additional number of prelates for curia, where it is said that at least 30 cardinals are needed Counting only the prelates physically able to perform the work, and including the seven new cardinals, the number as now announced is 15. It is also to be remem- bered that conslstory dates are often post poned.

Intense Interest in China

Christian people, Catholic and protest ant. in Europe and America, are keenly interested in the developments now going on in China. The orders, a dozen of them at least, and the great propagandia of the faith in the Catholic church. and practically all of the Protestant societies sending thousands of dollars into that country annually. There is not prov ince which has not in it few foreign missionaries, and very few societies in the whole world doing foreign missionary work that are not represented there The exceptions, if there are any are small ones in South Africa, which limit their work to Africa, and one or two in Aus tralia. which do work in the South Sea islands.
 Fifty-six societies have medical mis- sionaries In China, and forty-two includ- ing principal ones in England. Germany. Canada and the United States are engag- ed in educational work Recently there has been talk of the foundation of a great Christian university that shall form part of an oriental chain. the other three to be at Calcutta. Tokyo and Manila. Cooperation in medical educational and In most cases evangelistic work is now general between the protestant societies
 Money going into China from Christian countries amounts to millions each year: For example, Congregationalists of the United States send there $l5O,0oO through regular boards, and $100.000 more in spe- cial gifts. Baptists send nearly as much while Methodists send $300,000 a year. The end of fifty years of effort there was celebrated by all societies at a great Shanghai conference last year. when an estimate of at least s50000,0OO of foreign money was made as the amount sent in since Christian work began there. This was the protestant figure alone. The Catholic contributions are unknown. but they have been large.
 While the number of Chinese Christians Is small as yet compared with the vast native population. it is declared that the influence of the Christian population. be- cause of better education, is out of all proportion to their numbers. In some provinces Christian day schools are being

New Bishops in Large Numbers

Seven new bishops, two of them sui fragans. are the net result of the autumn advance in the Episcopal church. On October IS the Rev. Dr. Thomas F. Da- vies was consecrated Bishop of Western Massachusetts, and on October 2S the Rev. Dr. Joseph M. Rinelander and the Rev. Dr. T. J. Garland, bishop coadjutor and bishop suffraaan of Pennsylvania As Bishop Mackay-Smith of that diocese has resigned from February next, Bishop Rhinelander will not serve long as CO., ad5utor. It is rare that two bishops have been eonsecrated at the same time, but there have been several such instances in the Episcopal church's history.
 It was late in September that the Rev. Dr. J. R. Winchester of Memphis was consecrated bishop coadjutor of Arkan. sas. and a fortnight or more ago the Rev. w. E. Toll was chosen bishop suf- fragan of Chicago. Efforts are making to elect a fourth. not to meet conditions obtaining in cities as thus far chosen, but to minister to negroes, and himself to be a negro. This will be the first such election.

"Liberar Christianity to Be Preached in America Is Very Orthodox. New York Churches Unite.
 Interest in China

New York, October 4.--(Special.) .)--Not three American cardinals, as the cables from Rome have just announced, but two, will be created at the consistory now set for November 27. The two are Archbishop Farley of New York and Archbishop O'Connell of Boston. Archbishop Fal- conio, apostolic delegate and resident in Washington, Is an American naturalized citizen, but he is Italian born and his ele- vation to the Sacred college means his re- turn to Rome or service in the Curia, or administrative body of the church. and .he appointment of a new apostolic delegate.
 Reports about Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul., his tactless friends and his al- legged modernism are, 1t can be said on tho highest authority, quite groundless in so far as they affect his promotion by the Pope to the Sacred college, the gov erning senate of the church. While some of these incidents have produced irritation at Rome, it is known that the Catholic leader of the northwest is not suspected in the Vatican of modernism, nor is he injured in reputation by his friends. His great abilities. his great achievements for his church. are known to be very highly. regarded by Pope Plus x.
 Reasons for the elevation of tho New York and Boston prelates differ. The New York selection is due to the great center of Catholic population and influ- ence. one of the greatest in the world, Rome, Paris and Vienna not excepted It far outclasses Lcndon. Madrid and Ber- lln Recognition of this strength brings the elevation of Archbishop Farley, along of course with his administrative abilities. Archbishop O'Connell secured. through long residence in Rome, a host of friends who have pressed his name upon the Vat ican. The great Catholic strength of Boston and New England also helped. When next an American is chosen, and Americas quota in the Sacred college in- creased. Archbishop Quigley of Chicago, or Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis will be honorcd. it is said. The reason is rec osnition of Catholic church strength. Archbishop Ireland has created much in
