THINGS RELIGIOUS IN ARMY AND NAVY ARE TN CONFUSED STATE Neither Chaplains Nor Well fare Secretaries on Some
 of the Battleships COSTLIEST PARISH
 CHURCH IN WORLD St. Thomas Episcopal of New York Has Property Worth Millions. S Aged Ministers to Be Remem-
 bered by Methodists

New York April 25.-(Special) Neither chaplains nor welfare secreta- ries are on board some of the battle ships now in Mexican waters, or pre- ceding there, nor is provision made for the recreation of enlisted men, as in the case of men in the Spanish war, beyond that provided by the govern ment itself. Things reli gious in army and navy are at the moment of the breaking out of the Mexican differ ences is a confused and undetermined state. All has waited the action of the Congress. and Congress has not acted. The situation causes not a 1it- tie anxiety to religious leaders of all bodies.
 Strong efforts have been under way for months. backed by Catholic and Protestant leaders through Cardinal Gibbons for the former and the fed eral council of churches for the latter. to secure increase in the number of chaplains to one for every 100 enlisted men. Committees have reported fa- vorably, but the bill is not yet passed Consequently no more than the old number of chaplains, the same number as back in 1s45, are available during the present crisis.
 Secretry Daniels recommended the naming of welfare secretaries, such as the Y. M. c. A. provides. His rec ommendation did not specify Y M C. A. men, but it was assumed they were to be such. and the church representa- tiVes stoutly opposed laymen as against ministers. They won out, and minis ters alone were recommended by com mittees of Congress. The Y. NJ C. A has had welfare secretaries on two warships, but none were sent with the fleet going to Mexico, pending decision of the larger matter of regular chap . lains. The Y. M. C. A. refuses to dis cuss the matter, but the church off, cials, especially the Protestant ones. are insistent against the laymen, at least until ministers are provided. If Mexico be invaded. and American en- listed men remain there long, the whole question of their spiritual and recreational welfare is yet to be taken up.

very stirring is what the art club needs and asks for-public appreciation of what they are doing for the community So well have they builded the foundation for art that the architects of Birmingham have recognized the impetus given to real art-it has extended to constructive home building-they have joined hands and are banded together for the continued prog ress in their mutual interests.
 The Atelier of the Birmingham Society of Architects is composed of 15 resident architects and four nonresident. The purpose which Is included on the intro ductory page of the catalog soon to be issued is plainly stated-"The Birming- ham Art Club and the Atelier of Birming- ham Society of Architects hold these free exhibitions with view to promoting the growth of the local talent and bringing 1t before the public in the belief that thereby may be developed a more gem eral public interest in architecture and the decorative arts, which will lead to a greater civic pride, and further develop ment of the art education of the com munity."
 The atelier is rendering service in this special feature of drawing as a club with no other object than to give opportunity to talent-the result of pupil studio work is sent to the Beaux Arts committee of New York for criticism thus maintaining the highest standards for workmanship and awards.
 MT. Clifford Evans, for six years a resi- dent of this city, but a former pupil of Stanford White is vice president of the society. and he is enthusa stic. Hereto lore a very simple programme has been printed by the art club. With this ex- hibit the catalog is a very unique fea- ture. MT.

MOST GENEROUS PARISH
 CHURCH IN THE WORLD

The costliest and most generous par ish church in the world is St. Thomas Episcopal, Fifth avenue. New York with property worth s3.5OO 900 to s4- 100000. an expense to maintain of $SO- 900 a year, and giving to causes out side of itself s2T5000 year. Now there is to be founded a second Epis- copal church in that city that will rank with St. Thomas, if it does not sur pass it. It is the famous St Bartholo- news church, attended by the Wander bilts and in part endowed by them, and standing in Madison avenue within a stones throw of the Grand Central Terminal.
 This Madison avenue railroad dis trct is rapidly changing into a busi- ness one, In Park avenue, a block east and a few blocks north of the famous railroad terminal, is being de- veloped one of the most remarkable sections of any city. It is above the New York Central tracks. Park ave nue is being made into most attrac- tive boulevard, and upon it, and in the whole section once given up to railroad purposes there is making a residence section the equal of any in any city with no thought of railroads beneath
 it. It is into this district that St. Bar | ltlolomew's goes A site worth $1,5O0,- 900 has been secured, and it is rumored
 that $2.000.000 will be expended in
 plant In completeness the whole may even surpass St. Thomas nearby. The location is in the same block and two blocks east of St. Patrick's cathedral. l It is stated by those who know that | Manhattan island at this moment pre-
 sents the strangest situation re- gards churches that anybody anywhere
 ever dreamed of. Churches in som, lparts are failing dismally, driven ont by changing population conditions
 while in other parts are parishes like Trinity. which had an income last year
 of $99S, 900. a cathedral of St. John, tho divine costing $10,000,000. and new

The Vocational School.
From the Baltimore America,

FROM the baltimore American.
A startling charge and one which
should attract attention of every educa-
ton board in the United States was made
at a convention in Philadelphia the other
day where were gathered advocates OF
vocational schools and of the more ex-
tensive Introduction of vocational teach
ling in the public schools. TIL charge
referred to, briefly stated, is that sin the
city of Philadelphia there are $4,000
children who left school before they An
Iished the sixth grade and who are un-
fitted for any trade; that there are
10000 such children In New York and
5000. 900 such in the United States.' That
is to say, there are 5000, 900 children in
the United States with some slight
any. training whatever In any useful art
or handicraft.

true, 1t Is not necessary to argue further
