ST. ANDREWS UP TO DATE
Old Church Fills Offices of Men
Who Fought Innovations.

st. Andrews Episcopal Church, Of
Richmond, Staten Island, declared itself
last night in favor of the new order
of things. st. Andrews is 2o6 years
old. The Rev. Robert r. Kimber be-
came its rector two years ago, after
the church had passed through genera
tions of conservatism. lie organized a
mems club and a girls club. Enter
tainments were frequent.
The Rev Mr. Kimber's plans TO
adapt the old church to his methods
met with opposition from some of the
older members, among them Stephen
y. Crocheron and william A. Johnston,
wardens. A year ago they asked Bish-
op Greer TO remove their pastor, be-
cause he was extravagant. The wardens
resigned few days ago.

statistics Of the various American
consulates in Germany show that
American business houses have con-
unued to- buy German goods, to the
same extent as formerly, except where
the conditions produced by the war
have interfered.
1--WE must also take into considera-
ton that the news associations when
are hostile to Germany, such as Reuter-
and Havas, will make every effort after
the war TO induce commercial circles
i'll the various countries to start a
movement to boycott German goods
and on this account VIC should all the
more avoid disturbing our business
relations with a neutral country whose
merchants. as many letters from com
mercial houses clearly show, have the
intention Of maintaining their old es-
tablshed relations with Germany.
1--WE therefore call upon our mem,
bers TO oppose all efforts of this KIND
and stop the distribution of such CIR
culars whenever the opportunity arises
In that way we will serve best tne
friendly and mutually profitable trade
relations between our country ana 'he
United States"

including the one I saw tested to-day,
! thirty airships "in commission"
1t is curious, when one considers the
ridiculously meagre results obtained
by such a gigantic effort, that the pop
ular belief in and enthusiasm for the
Zeppelin airship in Germany should be
practically unimpaired. II is a fresh
instance OF nation hypnotizing itself
into believing what it wants to believe.
In Romanshorn. only a short six miles
distant from Friedrichshafen. to which
town a steamer runs four times a day,
no confidence whatever is felt in Yep
pelin airships.
The population of Romanshorn has
watched the development of the Yep
pelir airship from its inception up to
the present day, but 1t has never been
able to share the confidence of the Ger
mans across the lake.
Romanshorn folks have a great re-
spect for Count Zeppelin, whose cour-
ageous struggle against evil fortune
they greatly admire. But this does not
close their eyes to the shortcomings
Of mis- invention. 1t is for this reason
that the Romanshorn newspapers
chronicled at length the fact that the
Countess Won Observation-Disclosures,
the counts only child, to-day gave
birth to a son and heir, while they
passed over in silence the tests Of her
fathers latest airshp.

DRUG IN MARKET
Berlin Trade League Calls At
tention to Shortsightedness
of Any Such Plan.

An effort 10 boycott all American
goods has been begun by Germany, nc
cordinG TO information brought to this
city yesterday by a prominent Berlin
merchant In the systematic campaign
that is being carried on throughout the
empire circulars are being distributed
in industrial and commercial circles
demanding that no American goods be
bought or sold.
The circular represents II as "ss-
cred duty" to sever all business con-
nections with American business
houses or their representatives., atten-
ton being called TO the fact that the
American government has failed TO
prohibit the shipment of arms and am
munition TO England. France and Rus
STA. This has had an almost immedi-
ate effect on the sale of American
goods already stocked in Germany, and
rot only are merchants refusing to put
them on sale, but the press has Gre
ated such an agitation throughout the
empire that the German people are as
sisting in keeping the American goods
of the market by refusing to buy
them.
In an attempt to discourage the boy
cotting of American goods by Ger
many. the German-American Trade
League has issued from its headquar-
tiers in Berlin q circular letter TO all
business men in the empire protesting
against such action. The letter reads,
in part, as FLOWS:
eve have heard from various
sources that circulars have been dis
tributed in German industrial and COM
mercial circles demanding the boycott
ting by Germany of American goods.
II is represented ss a sacred duty TO
sever all business connections with
American business houses or their rep
resentatives. Some German firms have
also attached slips to their letterheads
calling on their German customers not
to forget that the United States is de-
livering arms and ammunition TO our
enemies.
THE German-American Trade League
believes that it expresses the opinion
of all the leading representatives of
German industry when it raises a
strong protest against all attempts Of
this kind. Without denying that our
people are Justly irritated at the sup
plying of arms and ammunition to our
enemies by American manufacturers, it
would nevertheless be a mistake to ex-
press our dissatisfaction by a general
boycott of American goods.
1--WE should not forget that large
numbers of the American people fully
appreciate the feeling of Germany in
this matter, and have for their part
protested against the traffic in arms
with belligerent countries. The export

MEXICAN NUNS HERE
AS WAR REFUGEES
Expelled and Menaced by
Carranzistas, They Fled
On Way to Spain.

Penniless and i'll. refugees from a
Vera Cruz mob, six nuns paced the
deck of the Manuel Calvo yesterday
telling beads which were the only relics
saved from their beloved convent, now
in the hands of the Carranzistas.
They looked out wistfully over the
shining lowered city, but were not al
lowed to land because they were steer
age passengers. Thirty pesos their
entire store of wealth. was exhausted
during their two days in hiding IN
Vera Cruz before the Manuel Calvo
sailed. Their passage to New YORK was
paid by friends. influential with the
officers of the Spanish Line.
Ii was only after six days OF siege
by drunken soldiers of Carranza that
the sisters made their escape from
the little convent at .Orizaba, near Vera
Cruz. For eighteen years the good
Mother Superior, Simona Nieto, has
nursed the sick and comforted the
diving among the villagers of 0rizaba.
In February came the order from
Carranza expelling all nuns and priests
from Vera Cruz. Mother Smona
looked into her hospital ward filled
with ninety sick and wounded. she
decided she could not desert them.
She appealed for protection to Gov,
ernor Aguilar, whom she had nursed
through a fever two years ago. FOR
few weeks they were spared. but the
rioting Carranzistas discovered their
retreat at last.
"A mob of drunken soldiers sur,
rounded us on March and threatened
our lives" said Mother Simona, telling
the story through an Interpreter yes
terday afternoon. They besieged us
for six days, but our faithful servants
protected us. At last the mob grew. so
terrible, bowling insults and hurting
stones at our hospital windows, that
we dared not remain another day. In
the dead OF night We donned the clothes
of our servants and fed by a secret
stairway to the outer gate.
"In the woods we hid until dawn.
Never shall ! forget that night We
could hear the drunken men burst open
the convent doors and rush shouting
up and down our beloved cloisters.
Fortunately there was nothing Tor

wealthy. But our blessed images! |
shudder to think of them falling into
those unholy hands"

German Strength Analysed.

In the seventh section the official re-
view turns TO a discussion of the situa-
ton of the German army. Its first
chapter. headed THE German Efor-.
opens with a statement as TO the Ger
man forces at the commencement OF
the campaign. The writer says:
"The military effort Of Germany at
the outset of the campaign exceeded all
anticipations Her design was to crush
the French army in few weeks under
a tremendous mass of troops. Moth
ing was neglected to bring that mass
together.
"The number Of German army corps
i'm time of peace is twenty-five. When
war began the German General Staff
put in the field on the two theatres or
operations: % As fighting troops lac
tive. reserve, Ersatz or Landwehr) SIX
ty-one army corps; % as troops TO
guard communications and territory,
formations of the Landsturm.
"ln October six and half new army
corps made their appearance, plus a
division of sailors; IN all, seven corps.
From the end Of November to the end
OF December there was only an m
significant increase, consisting OF one
division OF sailors. I'm January. 1919,
the number Of fighting formations put
into line by the German army was

trained in time of peace, the trained
reservists having almost all left the
depots for the front. IL has, moreover,
to be noted that out of these 100000
men there are, according TO the stats
tics, 800 900 who are more than thirty
nine years of age and are therefore OF
only mediocre military value. Thus
there remain 100000. Finally, the
category of the unframed in peace com.
prises, according TO the estimates OF
German military authorities them
selves, one-quarter of inefficients.
"The really available resources capa-
Bile of campaigning are, therefore, just
100000. These men, comprising the
1915, 1916 and 1917 classes, called out IN
anticipation, constitute and this point
cannot be too strongly insisted upon
the total of available resources for the
operations during the twelve months Of
1915.
Military Value Limited.
GAS to what the military value Of these
troops will be, considering the haste
with which they have been trained, the
formidable losses sustained in the bat
tie of Flanders by the newly formed
corps show very clearly. Their MILL
tary value will be limited.
"When il is remembered that, accord
ing TO the German documents them
selves, the defnitve loss each month
is 100000 men. II is manifest that the
available resources for the year 1915
will not suffice to fill the gaps of war
of ten months.
ut is then superabundantly estab-
lished that in the matter Of electives
Germany has reached the maximum
of possible effort. If with the men at
pre- sent available she creates, as it Is
certain that she is preparing to do at
this moment, fresh formations, she
will be preventing herself, if the war
lasts another ten months, as is admis-
sible, from being able to complete
afresh her old formation. II she ere
ates 70 new formations, she will have
in 1918 exactly what IS necessary and
no more to complete the existing units
afreSh.
Bearing in mind the ways Of the
German General Staff, one may sup
pose that. disregarding the eventful
impossibility of accomplishing, 1t IS
still addressing itself to creating new
formations. The weakness to which
Germany will expose herself in the
matter Of electives has just been set
forth, and it is easy to show that this
weakness will be still further aggra-
waited by the wastage in the regimental
cadres."

NO WARNING GIVEN IN EITHER

MORE THAN ONE RAIDER.

London, March 10. --German sub
marines appeared early Tuesday morn
ing at three widely separated points
on the British coast, and, 1t is stated
officially. without giving warning to
the crews, sank three British mer'
chant steamers.
In one case, that of the steamer
Tangistan, which was torpcdoed OF
Scarborough, in the North. Sea, thlr'
ty-seven men of her crew of thirty
eight are missing. The attack which
sent the TangiStnu to the bottom was
made half an hour after midnight.
At G o'clock in the morning another
submarine sank the steamer Black
wood of Hastings, in the English
channel, while third submarine sank
the steamer Princess Victoria of Iiv-
erpool at 9:15 o'clock.
News Of the latest exploits Of Ger
man submarines came just as the
British public was congratulatinS
themselves that the threatened Ger
man sea blockade had been n failure.
The official report announcing the

nine hours. IL would seem probable
that they were sunk by different UNI
