Remember that this month claims
the sapphire for its stone, the morn

marriages. Here is a verselet for a
maiden who has a birthday in Sep

"A maiden born when September leaves
Are rustling in September breeze,
A sapphire on her brow should bind;

an old saying goes:
Married in September's golden glow,
Smooth and serene your life will flow"

GERMANY TO ENLARGE NAVY
Army Must Wait Until Sea
Power Is STRENGTHENED.

Berlin. Dec 1.-THE possibility that
measures for strengthening the navy or
the army. or both, will be submitted 10 the
next ReichstaR. which is TO be elected
January 12, 1912. as a result OF the inter
national crisis OF last summer is arousing
intense interest in the press and among
the public. Until now not the slightest in
dicatiOn Of the governments intention IN
tho matter has been evoked.
According to an apparently authoritd-
tive statement which appears in the "Boer-
sen Zeitung" to-day. the army will figure
to ? smaller extent than the navy in the
appropriations to he asked for.
I'm connection with the published report
that a nov military bill. which will add two
entire corps TO the army, Is to be intro
duccd instead of increasing the navy pro-
craume "a statement which the "Boersen
Zeitung" calls semi ofiiciaD, the news
paper remarks that the report in this sense
is false. The building up Of the navy il
regarded I'm authoritative circles as more
urgent and the reorganization OF the army
will be taken up only after what Is neces-
sary for the navy has been accomplished.
\ general military bill is not 10 be ex-
pected for several years. m the mean time
the Ministry Of War will probably seek
minor appropriations
The statement Of the "Boersen Zeituns'
does not mention the nature Of these ap-
priGcriations. but H. is believed that they
concern aviation and the provision Of more
machine Guns.

THREAT TO SEIZE CHURCH
Row Over Episcopal Rules
Brought to Bishop Greer.

Edward VANITY, who for fifteen years has
been clerk Of ST. Paups Protestant Episco-
pal Church at Tompkinsyile Staten ISL
and filed a protest yesterday with Bishop
Greer I'm regard 10 the annual election held
by the church on September last. VANITY
also sent "A statement to the Bishop, in
which he set forth that the church is not
being conducted i'm accordance with Prot
estant Episcopal rules. and that unless 1t
is so conducted the heirs OF Judge Alfred
Ward, who gave the church to the conere-
cation, would seek 10 get possession of the
property. Mrs Edward VANITY is a sister
of the late Judge Ward and one Of the
heirs.
There has been trouble in the church for
a long time. According 10 Mr. VANITY, the
first Sunday on which the Rev. Guy l..
Wallis oficated at the services he advised
that the members of the congregation go
TO confession. and afterward undertook 10
introduce High Church customs. Mr.. and
Mrs VANITY and many others I'm the churcn
objected TO making confession, and the
trouble kept growing until the annual meet
ing was held. At that meeting two vestry-
men and two wardens were to be elected,
and there were present. VANITY says, TWEEN
ty-fye women and only three men, one Of
whom was VANITY.
VANITY says that when he undertook to
cast his ballot he was restrained by Mr..
Wallis. who told him he had 10 right TO
vote, as he did not conform with the rules
of the church, was behind In his dues ana
irregular in attendance. According to
VANITY, the rector, in the presence Of the
women. told VANITY that he would like 20
take him outside and give him good beat
ing.
Mr. Wallis said last night it was true
that there had been trouble between HIM
self and Wanty. SO far as asking the MEM
bers of his congregation to make confes-
sion was concerned, the rector said, he had
never insisted on any one doing so, but left
il to their own free Will. Mr.. Wallis was
asked if it was true that ne had expressed
a desire 20 take VANITY out and give him
heating, but he declined to deny or confirm
Wanty's assertion on that point
