London, The British secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, Sir Edward
Grey, and the ambassadors Of the
powers have made representations to
Rechad Pasha regarding the expected
departure Of the Turkish delegates.
which is equivalent to rupture Of the
peace negotiations for which Turkey
ls considered responsible.
In reply, Reclad Pasha said that he
was not responsible for the suspen-
sion OF the work of the conference,
which was decreed by the allies, not
only without asking his opinion, but
without even allowing him to express
1t when he begged to do so.
In Difference to England and the
other powers, whose ambassadors re-
GREETED the rupture of the negotia-
tons, Rechad Pash has consented to
telegraph to Constantinaple asking
definite instruction.
The allies also are tired of waiting.
They do not believe the note which
the powers will present at CONSTANT,
nople will have the desired effect, but
not wishing to take a decisive step
without due notice to Europe, they
have notified Sir Edward Grey and
the ambassadors of their intention to
denounce the armistice contempora-
neously with. or shortly after, the
presentation Of the note to the porte

the armistice never has been OBJ
served by Turkey whose soldiers have
made frequent sorties from Scutari.
Therefore the resumption of hostilities
concerns only the Thracean field Of
operation. The Balkan military ex-

Naval Gunners Show Remarkable
Workmanship at Practice.

Port Townsend, Wash, May 24.-An-
nouncement was made today of re-
markable results of the target practice
yesterday with the u inch mortars at
Fort Worden, one of the defenses at the
entrance to Puget Sound. The mortars
were fired for the first time at fixed
and movable targets in Discovery bay,
eight miles distant, and hidden from
the fort by forest covered hills. The
exact score has not been computed,
but several shots were marked as hits.
The Importance of the Qualifications
commanding Discovery bay has long
been recognized but it was not thought
that the bay could be covered by fire
from a distance fort. Just how the
shots were directed is known only to
the officers but it probably was done
from a concealed station on Protection

tressing loss of membership in many
synods of the church.
Nearly four thousand churches in
the last ecclesiastical year failed to
obtain new member through confess
sion of faith, according to the report.
Other features brought out were
that some of the church's most intel
ligent and Influential members spend
the Sabbath on the golf links, instead
of attending divine worship; that the
extent and boldness of the white slave
traffic has become appalling, even eX-
tending, the report declared, into Sab
bath schools and Christian Endeavor
societies.
The report stated that a total of
$1,000 new members through confess
sion of faith were enrolled during the
last year by the church.
w. H. Houston of Colum bus, o.,
secretary of the permanent commit
tee on vacancy and supply, declared
that the problem of obtaininfi pastors
