The Episcopal diocese of Michigan.
assembled in convention In Detroit.
went on record in favor of having the
church pension fund placed on a
sound and comprehensive basis. as
outlined by the commission authorized
by the general convocation of 1918.
The convocation also voted to have a
committee appointed to go into the
matter carefully and to report to the
next convention whether or not the
diocese Of Michigan will come under
the proposed pension plan.
Reports of committees were received
and discussed. The committee on the
status Of the church reported a steady
growth In membership during the
year. There were 1.437 baptisms, L.
lit combinations and 1887 communi-
cants, an increase Of 947. The Sum
day schools IN the diocese show an In
crease OF $50 In membership.

WOMEN AS POLICE OFFICERS.

The news that the mayor OF Column
bia has appointed three women police
men-pardon us, policewomen- Will
come as shock to those who have
held that only men shall perform the
police duties OF the State. But The In

lies argument against women being

capacity. And they will make good,
too. We have seen great big, burly.

take notice. Will these police-women
be attired in the regulation blue uni
form, or will they wear only a helmet? :?
Seriously, though. The Intelligencer
does not believe there Ia anything
wrong with women acting as police
men. If they care to do so. They asso-
ciate with men in the home, in the
school, in the store. in the mills and
everywhere one sees man working a
woman is by his side. She was intend

men do. There will bo men who will
censure the appointment OF women to
perform the tasks that I1en have been
performing. Women will also censure
them, but the critics must admit that
women as rule perform their work
with more fidelity and efficiency than
men do, no matter what the task is,
Let them vote IL they wish, and the
men will see that conditions will be
improved.

REPORTING THE WAR.

A writer in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger declares that mo other war
was ever so carefully reported as the
present one, and never did the outside
world know with such approximate
truth the essential facts as they oc-
cur" The public has been to some ex-
tent inclined to criticise the service of
the news-purvcyor agencies Of the
world in connection with the European
war. especially at it's beginning. Even
to the present stage of the conflict
the meagreness OF the dispatches and
the uncertain statemsnts that are
made by the correspondents are by
no means satisfying to the American
public. The charge that the news is
/ colored in favor of one or the other
| sides of the conflict, however, has not
been repeated since the first stages of
the war.
We are inclined to agree with the OBJ
| server whose opinion is quoted above.
No other war of great proportions has
| occurred since the means OF news
gathering and news dissemination
have been brought to their present per.
lection. 1t is true that the Boer war
end the R;isso-Japanese conflict were
OF great importanc and both occur
red only five years ago; but neither
OF them was in country or territory
where the reports could be given t.
the world promptly, and they were not
so given. In the time of the great wars
of the last century-the Civil war Of
the sixties and the Franco-Prussia
War Of the seventies the telegraph
ing OF news was Infinitely smalioy
than at present. and the great news
gathering association. the Associated
Press, had, not been projected. The
news was meagre and long delayed.
Today, however, within q very few
hours after the decisive operations
OF the war in Europe. reasonably ac-
curate detailed reports are being read
by Americans In every hamlet of the
United States. At Is true that much Of
he proceeding is shrouded in secrecy,
by the censorship and the desire Of
the military commanders to prevent
their opponents from learning OF their
positions and movements. But so far
as the people even Of the countries en-
gagged are able to iearn OF the wars
progress, we In America are informed.
and in addition some OF the larger
m aRa hafv
respondents in the war zone, who man
e to get through some most inter-
esting reports.
The American has come to depend
upon his newspaper to inform him
as to current history. and it has not
failed him ia this great crisis. II he
finds the news to some extent un-,
reliable and indefinite, and is inclined
to be critical along these lines. 1t is
largely because he has been educated
ty the newspapers to expect accura-i
cy and reliability, and he does not stop
to think of the difficulties OF securing
the exact facts from carefully con-
ceaied war operations. And inciden-
tally It may be said that, contrary to
the genera: view. the handling of the
war news :s very heavy expense to
the newspapers of the United States.
While more papers aye. sold. the ad-
'ditional income from this source ss

tolls and war correspondents saiar-I
