THE BAPT|STS WILL
BUILD NEW CHURCH
Trustees Instructed by Congregation
to Solicit Subscriptions for Church
Edifice at Once.
From The world of Thursday


A largely attended congregational
meeting wa held in the First Baptist
Church last night. Rsy. w. D McCur-
dJ, the pastor, presiding and Mr. F.
ii. Graichen was the clerk.
The purpose OF this called meeting
&C the congrs cation was to consider
the question of building a new church
edifice en- the site OF the present
structure OH West King street This
matter had been talked about for
scme time among the members of the
church but no definite and concerted
action was ever taken until last night.
T. was then decided without a dissent
ing voice, when the roll of the congre-
CATION was called, to go ahead at
cree and make plans for a new church
building.
To this end the trustees OF the
church, Messrs. Frank S. Emmert G..
B. Wiltshire, Louis II. Thompson,
john Ed. Seibert and J. Frank Thomp-
son, were instructed to canvass the
congreg atioa for subscriptions. This
work will be completed in a couple
weeks, it is believed, and then several
architects of reputation will be invited
to submit tentative plans for the new
church. 1t was agreed last night that
the edifice should cost not less than
$4,000, though it was said today that
$4,000 would be nearer the cost
mark.
When the present church building
was erected less than fifty years ago
the congregation was comparatively
small and the church was big enough.
But now that the mem 1ership has
grown to nearly 400, witt a large and
Furnishing Sunday scheol, and with
every prospect of both being consider
bly, larger in the next few years
the building is found to BE- altogether
inadequate to meet the demands, of
the growing congregation. Hence the
desire to build a new and modernly
equipped church that will meet pres
ent and future requiremnts.

New Anglo-Japanese
Treaty is Signed in
London Thursday
It Replaces. Treaty of Alliance and
Modifies Clause Relative to
Aid in War.

LONDON, July IA revised Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty was signed IN London yester-
day. The fourth clause corroborates the
Associated Press forecast from Toxic July
il. in which it was said that Great Britain
proposed to modify the clause providing
mutual assistance In the event OF war;
making the provision inappllcable in the
event that either party to the Rgreement
was fighting a nation with whom the other
had concluded general arbitration treaty.
The treaty is TO run for ten years from
date. The most important change from the
earlier agreement is embodied in the fourth
article providing that IL either party con-
cludes treaty Of general arbitration with
a third power, the alliance shall not entail
an obligation to go to war with that
power.
The treaty replaces the treaty of alliance
and the preamble states that the step is
taken because Of changes which have taken
place in the situation since the agreement
Of alliance was signed.
WASHINGTON, July l4-France, il was
announced today, is practically ready to
