Baptists Watching Reports

Baptists are showing keen interest in important reports to be made by com mission on efficiency and administration at the Northern Baptist convention, which is to be held May 19 to 26 in Los An geles The selection of the place of meet Ing was made with reference to Cali fornia attractions this year. Trainloads of Baptists are already planned for con this commission has been studying Bap- tist society conduct. There is handled by general societies about $1,600,000 and by state ones about $4O0,O0 year.
 A union project is on between the Home Mission society of northern Baptists and the foreign mission board of southern for the founding in Mexico of a girls school, high school for boys, and theological seminary. It is likely, it is said, that the Women's Home society will also join. Baptists both north and south say that their work in Mexico, which is among the largest of Protestant work there has suf- fered very little by the revolutions.
 Prof. Gilbert H. Briggs, who comes from the Belmont Training school in California, has been appointed superintendent of department of education just created, to have charge of all Baptist educational work under charge of the Baptist Home Mission society The number of colleges and high schools alone is 35, some of them in Cuba and Porto Rico, and others seat tered in the south, the last named chiefly for colored people. MT. Briggs was for eight years in Christian work in the Philippines.

No Increases Asked

In no serious light do Presbyterian lead- CTS view the financial situation caused by the war that all nine of the mission and other boards under their charge refrained from asking. their executive commission, in session last week, to authorize larger sums of money from Presbyterians during the year to come. By agreement all of the boards asked for the precise sum of the preceding year, and their requests were granted by the commission. In or der to improve relations the commission proposed. 1t is said, to ask the approach ing general assembly to reorganize joint executive commission and give people larger voice and influence, with larger representation. Steps were also proposed by which these general agencies are also to be. given larger voice and influence in the churches.
 The Presbyterian foreign board finds 1t necessary to secure by March 31. the sum of $70O.000. So far the women are $31,- 00o ahead in their gifts, the Sunday school $s0Q0 and the churches &66.00O Much en- couragement is had by Presbyterians with Sheri every member canvass.

Eight Commissions Reported

Committees in charge of the Latin- American conference, to meet at Pan- anna next year, have just met and ap- pointed eight commissions. They also decided to enlarge the plans of this conference and make it to North and South America what the Edinburgh conference of two years ago was to the old world. At Panama three halls have just been secured, besides q Meth odist church and a hotel parlor Ac- commodations there are ample, say the promoters. The woman's board of the Disciples of Christ have loaned the Rev. s. c. Inman, long their mission ary in South America, to take up de- tails of the conference and he has entered upon his work. Reports on all phases of work are now in the inak- ing. Cuba, Central America, Porto Rico and Mexico are covered in the plans, and all possible efforts will be put forth to make a lasting impression upon Latin-America in behalf of Pro- testants. Strong efforts will also be made to bring Christians of North and South America into closer co-opera- tion.
 The extent to which Protestant work in Peru, Chile, Brazil. the Argentine and even in Paraguay and Colunrbia is declared to be little understood in the United States, where most of it is fos- tered. Universities and great Protestant churches are to be found in all prin- cipal South American cities and lead CTS from them to be invited to Pan anna include some of the best known names in Protestant extension annals They are the Rev. pr. w. E. Brown ing, president of the English college at Santiago; the Rev. Dr. H. C. Waddell president of the Mackenzie college at Rio; Dr. Justo Cubilo, justice of the supreme court at Monte video; thc Rev. Dr. H. c. Tucker, agent of the Amer ican Bible society at Rio H. E. Ewald, general Y. M. c. A. secretary for all South America; Bishop Stuntz of the Methodist church, located at Buenos Aires and Bishop Kinsolving of the Episcopal mission in Aio Grande de Sul.

To Encourage Plans for College

The Women's Board of the Disciples with headquarters in Indianapolis, has just decided to enlarge the plan of its College of Missions, and take students from all religious bodies. This college, the only one of it's kind in the middle west, was started five years ago, and has now about 40 students. It's work is the preparation of men and women for mis- sion fields. especially foreign ones. Bodies that will now cooperate with Disciples, among others, include the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational. Efforts are to be made by the women, particularly those of Indianapolis. to put the college upon firm financial basis. Indianapolis ministers of all Protestant bodies are in dorsing the new plans.
 Disciples have just decided to change the date of their general meeting this year. Usually their general convention is held in September or October, but this year it is fixed for July, and Los Angeles is the place. The reasons given for the change are the special rates to California, and the many things to be seen there this year. The convention is now on a representative basis, but fully 5000 visitors are expected at Los Angeles.
 Efforts long making to establish in New York city a representative Disciples church are declared to have been ad- vanced by the call, just made, by the single large Disciples church in that city, to the Rev. Dr. Finis Idelman of Des Moines. It is said that Dr. Idelman is :, one of the foremost of the Disciples lead- CTS, a member of it's unity commission, and identified with several general com mittees. Disciplese have long looked for ward to the founding in New York of one commanding congregation. Dr. Idel- aman is expected by the New York people, 1t is said to further the plan should he accept the call.

of their church in two important respects. One of these concerns the power of trus- tees to transfer church property without legal consent of higher authority. This question is disputed one among Prespy- terians in this country whether trustees or presbytery control local church prop erty. A suit at law in New York courts. already costing s60,0O0 in fees, is on to determine the matter. Trustees of Meth odist churches can sell property at will, ana the clamor for change is to take away such power. It is claimed that religious bodies, more careful in management hold on to downtown properties as Methodist dc not just because of this proylsion.
 The other change for which some Meth cdists are agitating is the boundaries of conference lines. It has come about that not few large cities are divided between two conferences. It is also the case that some states are split into two or more conferences. Now the proposition is to make conferences and state boundaries the same as far as possible, and in par ticular to throw all Methodist work in any city into the same conference, making the city center. The same Methodists are also clamoring for permanent or dio- cesan bishops, but those who oppose this change declare that it can never come about as long as Methodist retains the itinerant system for it's pastors. They also say that Methodism cannot abolish this system and remain Methodism. A dozen cities are affected by this boundary line change. Several spring conferences are acting in it's favor.

FEW WAR PICTURES
 OF MERIT AS YET Salon of 1915 Will Not Be Held-The War Will
 Purify Art

Paris, February 20.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The salon of 1915 will not be held. It was proposed to hold one especially for the exhibition of such work as the artists who are in the trenches might execute at the front The idea has been abandoned. Up to this time the inspiration that art has drawn from the war has manifested itself only superficia1ly in pathetic or humorous post cards and satirical posters; the former chiefly posed from life and the latter devoted exclusively to Emperor William, Francis Joseph and the Sultan.
 Lately a few good war pictures have appeared in show windows, however among them representation of the battle of tho Marne; picture of priest saying mass to his comrades in the snow of the Argonne forests. and a meritorious piece showing 8 Turco charging the Germans.
 As to the eventual effect of war on art most artists are optimistic. Fernand Corn.cn, one of the painters of great epochs,' thinks it will purify art of such eccentricities as futurism and cubism, and eliminate commercialism and snobism. No freaks he said, would be able to stand alongside the great inspirations to ba derived from the war.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 25-Some OF
the practices of nation vide associa
tons of manufacturers and dealers OF
farm machinery re characterized as
being of doubtful lega lily, tending to
limit competition and increase prices,
! while a large part OF them are held

mate interests, III a report by the old
| bureau rfscorporations submitted to-
day TO Fresid ent Nrilscn. The report
was drawn before the bureau and
was merged With the new fedora
trade commission.
Almost every important manufac-
turer Of farm machinery. the report
says, is a member Of the National I'm
1 plemenI and Vehicle Associat alton
while the dealers have organized the
National Federation CT nplem and
Vehicle Dealers Associations which
| is composed Of hume rous state and i'm
terstate associations. The two organ
izations are national in scope and
work in close cooperation.
Efforts OF manufacturers to fix
wholesale prices. control of retail
prices, concentrated control OF pat
ents. opposition Of dealers to direct
transactions between manufact
and consumers, as we'll as efforts to
reduce costs of manufacture and dis
tribution. arc reviewed at some length.
The fl ght Of rganized dealers against
competition of mail order houses the
report says. has been carried to the
extent OF efforts to have postal rates
revised to increase charges on pack
ages and to curtat advertising facil-
titles of mail order houses by persuad-
ing manufacturers who sell through
dealers not to advertise in farm pap
ers which carry mail order advertise

The great problem or the dealers

was to- find some lawful means of
keeping members Informed OF manu-
facturers who refuse to confine their
trade to regular deal ers
While the organized dealers dis
claim amy intention Of maintaining a

against anyone = says the report, 1t
is clear that If they be permitted to
