Gasparri Appointment En-

THE MONEY SITUATION
Presbyterians Find Financial Condi. tions Helped Rather Than Injured by War-Start Campaign to
 Secure $450,00O

New York. October 24.-(Special ) The selection by Pope Benedict XIV of Cardinal Gasparri to be secretary of state in succession to the late Cardinal Ferrata is held to indicate a further emphasis upon a new policy in papal affairs, quite unlike that maintained by Cardinal Merry Del Val in the name of the late Pope Plus K Details of this policy are closer but not comprc- missing attitude toward the Italian gov ernment; renewal if possible of dlplo matte relations with France; cultiva ton of world peace sentiments, Using every agency that will assist the move ment; and again without compromise but nevertheless a liberal expression at all times toward other Christian com munions.
 Cardinal Gasparri was himself men, toned as possible successor to the pa- pal chair, as was the late secretary Of state, and has had long experience Rs member of the Curia, or administra- tive tody of the church.

Presbyterians Begin Campaign

Presbyterians report finding finan- cial conditions helped rather than in jured by the war and the money drain here. They have just entered a cam paign to secure .$450,000 without ,rej- udice to receipts for current work
 Within 10 days they report s50,000 and great number of churches coming for ward to assist as never before, many reporting that their gifts will increase this year as much as 60 per cent. They say the war has narrowed up the grounds of peoples convictions, SO to speak, and that they are more alive to appeals than when war did not exis..
 The reason for the campaign and the large amount to be secured is the deficit obtaining last spring when books for home and foreign missions wore closed. These amounted to $292.C00 for foreign and $13S,000 for home. Def icits were said to be caused. not fror, decline in receipts for these were lar ger than on previous years in the case of the foreign work at least but to in- crsases in the work on the fields in- creases that could not be postponed.

Uncle sam's Money Factory

It isn't every employe of Uncle Sam that gets a fine roof garden ands selabor- ate rest rooms for recreation to make nveable the hot days in Washington, says LeslIe's The favored ones are, the 4oOc employees of the bureau of engraving and printing who have just moved into the new s3,O00,00o plant where all of Uncle Sam's money, bonds and postage stamps are printed. They make millions here dsily-no plant like 1t in the world can complete with them in that work. The output averages 1,3O0.0o0 notes with a face value of s5,5Oo,000 day, to say nothing of a daily product of 100000 postage and internal revenue stamps.
 The most interesting feature of all this great task of turning out dollars Is the ''welfarc'' work which Uncle Sam is do- ing here for his employees. Director Jo- scph E. Ralph. who is the chief of this bureau. has undertaken to make his plant the model factory of it's kind.
 In the bureau of engraving the em- pioyes handle daily property worth many thousand times their salaries This makes it impossible for these workers to leave the building from the time they arrive in the morning until the last cent has
