RELIGIOUS SUPERVISION LACKING
IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY

Rear Admiral Charles H. Stockton, U.
S. N, retired. says in The Churchman:
TT is to be deplored that in the ex-
pansion Of late years in the United
States Navy matters of religious instruc-
ton and supervision have almost alone
suffered by neglect In 1872 there were
borne upon the navy lists .chaplains to
the number of twenty-four. and at the
present writing, sixty years later this
still remains as the number of chaplains
engaged in the religious work Of the
service afioat and ashore. The number
of officers and men in the navy and the
marine corps now numbers about 61,00
men, placed at various points over the
world and It can be seen at a glance
how inadequate the religious force in the
navy is when there is to be found but
one chaplain to more than 2,5oe men,
which means, in addition to the ships
afioat, the religious care of establish
ments on shore, like barracks, receiving
ships, naval schools, training stations.
hospitals, and naval prisons, with con-
slant demands for religious services in
lifetime and death. Certainly the indif-
ference of Congress in this matter should
not be supplemented by the apathy of
the different churches upon the subject.
but so II seems is the case at present
Recent legislation as to the require
of entry as well as the change in the
recruiting area for the service brings
into the service a constant supply of men
very unlike those of years ago, when the
recruiting of men was almost entirely
from the seaboard and the enlisted men
were Of seafaring occupation alone and
almost cosmopolitan in character
Now We have young men coming
from home life, largely Americans by
birth and a very large majority of whom
are Protestants by ancestry and profess
sion The increase in size and COM
plexity of ships and the consequent in
crease in the number and intelligence
OF the men composing the crews gives
Tot only large parochial sphere for the
chaplain, but demands a higher order of
intelligence and wisdom in dealing with
the man-o'-warsman of the present day
The performance of the religious serv-
ice on board of any ships by officers as
laymen is exceptional, and the conse-
quence is that Sundays on board a ma
jority of our vessels in commission con-
sists of ceremonial formations in the
early part of the day, and idleness or
a day for sports on shore in port in the
latter part of the day
THE attendance upon religious service
Is entirely voluntary in the navy with
the exception of the Naval Academy and
Of the training stations, SO that the old
articles Of war" carry an unfulfilled
promise when they state that each COM
manding officer is required by law to
hold divine service every Sunday morn
ing on board his ship whenever the
weather and other circumstances will
permit This as announced to recruits

on the charge of implication in a Jewel
robbery at Ostend. dispatches from the
Belgian watering place say that Selby is
not believed to be connected with the
robbery. as there is no direct evidence
against him and his room was not on
the same floor as that Of the princess who
was robbed.
The value Of the jewels stolen from the

thieves were looking at a case containing
Jewels of less value. The princess had
nearly si.GoOO00 worth of Jewels in her
room when the robbery took place.
The Ostend investigation shows that

there last Sunday and Monday. when the
robbery occurred. While there he asso-
ciated with three men and a woman

The arrest of the thieves was effected
owing to the fact that the woman drank

POLICE JUDGE RULES
MAN MAY CHANGE
OBJECT OF AFFECTIONS

Heaving bricks at a. man is not a per-
missible way of expressing affection for
him, according 10 a ruling of the Police
Court yesterday in the case Of Miss May
Barnhouser. She was accused of annoy
ing Fred Schell. a sailor on President
Taft's yacht. L. s. s. Sylph.
Schell testified that he had won the
young lady in two evenings but when he
dropped her for another girl she dis
played a tendency to caress him with
brickbats and cobblestones. These unde-
sirable attentions became so persistent
that he was compelled to seek protection
from the law.
The court urged the young lady not to
annoy man whose affections she had
lest. 1t also expressed the opinion that
a man has as good a right to change his
mind as a woman.

ternational Institute of Agriculture,
which was established at Rome in 1906
upon the initiative of his majesty Victor
Emmanuel III. King of Italy, resolu-
ton was adopted by the conference voic-
ing the recognition of the American peo-
pie OF his majesty's services in the inter-
est Of world progress.
This great agricultural federation Is

the institute may continue to be increas-

cooperation in the world crop reports
in disseminating agricultural intelligence,
In promoting cooperative agricultural

standings between the peoples of the
earth.
'On my arrival in Rome I took up this
question OF the date of departure with
some Of the permanent committee dele
gates. Among them with the president
OF the institute. They believe that May.
1915. as the date when the general as

Report in Fifty Languases.
Mr.. Lubin published the above report
in the languages Of the fifty nations that,
under treaty, comprised the International
Institute Of Agriculture, and also has
published the following notice that per-
tains to the proposed American COM
mission:
. The American committee is to con-
sist of two delegates from each State.
and by starting in May, 1913. an oppor-
tunity is afforded to ask the State Legs
latures to make the requisite appropria-
tions for their travelling expenses.
Such a semi-official body, with the Sec
retary of Agriculture or the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor as its presid-
ing officer, could not only handle the
adaptation of the European rural
credit systems in the United States to
advantage. but could handle to ad-
vantage all other agricultural economic
matters. as is done in Germany.
II is now in order for the agricultural
and the leaders in the ag-
ricultural industry in the United States
to see that each State appoint its dele
gates TO the American committee: to
pledge the candidates for election to the
State Legislatures in November to sup
port the requisite appropriations. and to
work earnestly for this purpose during
the session of the legislatures

phiets is somewhat of an Illusion when
chaplain is not, and cannot be- on
board.
''Of the chaplains in the service the
navy register for this year shows that
there We're 9 afioat, 10 on duty at shore
establishments, and on sick leave. How
inadequate this is for the needs Of the
service can be seen when it is stated
that at present with the navy on a peace
footing there are in commission for act
i've service IS first-class vessels, bat
tleships and armored cruisers, with large
crews Of seamen, marines. and lads.
Here, alone, is a field for IS chaplains
to look out for the morals and religious
instruction of the officers and men
souls-that are included within the limits
OF first-class man-o'-war. So large a
proportion of the men are of an age
susceptible to the temptations of sea
and seaport life that when We require
as We do, recruit to be of a moral
character, the responsibility is especial
ly great to keep him so and rests with
force upon the government and depart
ment into whose employment he enters.
''On war footing we would have afioat
men gathered together in units of about
a thousand: there would be nearly sixty
vessels that properly would require
chaplain. His aid to the wounded would
supplement the services of the chaplain
with respect to the sick in times Of peace.
But the navy is only at times upon
war footing, and fifty chaplains could ac-
complish to a sufficient degree the de-
mands of peace time. This addition would
tend to lessen the very large sick list
due to causes. to say the least unneces-
sary, and diminish the large number of
those undergoing trials and punishment
for other than military reasons.
TT must be said that of late years the
character and ability of the chaplains of
the navy has been much more satis-'
factory since the question of political in
fiuence in regard to their appointments
has been largely eliminated, and the re-
munions to which they belong insisted
upon.
THE establishment of the naval branch
of the Young Mems Christian Association
with its various sailors homes in our
own seaports and especially in our large
navy yard cities, has frightened the life
Of our sailors and presented a salutary
alternative to the grog shops and dis
orderly houses which were at one time
the only resorts open to those wearing
the blue shirt. Too much praise can
not be given to those noble men and
women who have and are now meeting this
need for the sailor ashore. But let us
not forget that the visit ashore Is only
occasional, and that the need for the
normal life on board ship. the religious
need for every day and Sunday, should
be met in the way suggested. by in
creasing the religious staff. by combined
exertfons of Congress. the Navy Depart
ment. and the religious communions Of
the nation"
