NUN AND SINGER
ON QUESTS HERE
One Seeks Aid for Wounded
Diva with Thirty Trunks to
Join Boston Opera.

Two women. both intensely interest
ed in their respective walks OF life
along widely divergent lines, came TO
these shores yesterday by the French
liner Espagne from Bordeaux on their
first visit 70 New York
one is q woman of middle age, with
little or no baggage. who is Oh mis-
sion Of aid Tor the wounded soldiers
Of the Allies, and the other singer,
with thirty trunks Of finery, who hopes
20 please Americans with the richness
Of her voice and the variety and pro-
fusion Of her gowns. Both women
shrank from the news hunters at first,
but on reflection decided that publicity
might help their cause and both decided
to talk of themselves.
She who comes for bandsges and
medical supplies for the suffering vic
tins Of the war is Sister Beatrice Bart
lett. a British nun of middle age, who
was the first woman to report TO the
British War Office on the condition OF
the wounded soldiers in France and
who has made iifty-two trips across
the English Channel n her work of
ministering unto the wounded.
The singer. who is barely twenty two
and whose trunks outnumber her years
OF life. is Miss Elvira Amazar of Pet
rograd
Sister Beatrice Bartlett wore the
badge of her service throughout the
trim and when she left the vessel yes
terdav on her way to Ottawa. where she
is TO confer with General Sir Sam
Hughes, Minister Of Militia Of Canada.
II am a member Of the Third Region
Of Military Hospitals Of France" said
Sister Beatrice, "where ! have been
assisting in caring for the wounded
for twelve months. Ny headquarters
is al Rouen. What we want at the
front now is trained nurses. We need
all we can get shall speak in various
parts Of this country on our needs, Dut
will accept no money. | shall plead
for medical supplies and bandages and
urge 1he sending Of more nurses to
the front
The few handbags of Sister Beatrice
were passed promptly by the customs
officials. but the thirty trunks and
twelve handbags of Miss Amazar kept
her on the pier until nearly all the sa-
loon passengers had gone.
The young soprano, who will sing with
the Boston Opera Company this season
is reuuted 70 be the best dressed won
an in Petrograd. and her wardrobe Is
said 10 rival her voice IN ITS bld i0i
public favor. She didn't know exactly
how many gowns she had brought from
Petrograd.
Every gown Of the young Russian
singer. be il for evening or afternoon
wear. for the street or the house, Is no
longer than nine inches above the IN
step. Miss Amazar has pair OF boots
for every gown. She prefers bronze
boots. she said, because the color, IS
neutral, and none OF her footwear mas
heels longer or shorter than three ana
+ one-half inches

GIGANTIC ARCH OVER
HE'LL GATE IS JOINED
Great Arms for Railroad Bridge
Meet After Two Years Work.

Two immense steel arms that have
reached eagerly out over He'll Gate for
months finally clasped hands yesterday.
and completed the joining Of the long
est steel arch of any bridge in the
world. Each of them stretched for just
sos feet and IS inches and the ends
met with "a variation of only one-fourth
Of an inch.
The bottom strands OF the steel truss
joining the huge bridge of the New
York Connecting Railway Company
were put IN place soon after noon. In
closing the arch the two halves had to
be lowered by hydraulic jacks. and
computing the exact measurements for
IN mass Of 10000 tons OF steel took
two years Of work under the direction
of Gustav Lindenthal. engineer in
charge.
Designed to carry heavier load

springs from two enormous concrete
towers. one in upper Astoria and the
other built on pins resting on rock l2O
feet deep on Wards Island.
The two arms have been sustained
in mid-air By a corresponding weight Of
backstays behind the two towers. The
backstays will be removed in the next
three months, and the zen remaining
viaduct piers will be built, thus giving

made the announcement OF DR.. FOs-
dicks appointment
The services were characterized by a
plea for more liberal Interpretation
Of the Bible
The Problem Of a Modern Preacher
in the Use of the Scriptures was the
subject of Professor Fosdick's inaugu-
raj address He said ia part:
Every phase of the Scriptures has
been subjected to scientific Investiga-
ton. What is 10 be our attitude tow
ard the Bible i'm the light Of this new
knowledge2 Recent discoveries, his
torical and scientific, have increased
the doubt Of many a layman and par
alyzed the tongue of many preacher.
The cryptic Interpretation of the Script
Ures, in which every word and mum
Der was held to have its mystic mean
ing, is no longer tenable. The ale
goric Interpretation, which leads an
lNlABll iltdulAk lliAp wv HiNi'liN
words. is not of our day.
"Shall we try TO reconcile the vast
revelations Of modern science with the
ancient word? Shall we pretend TO find
in the Book records Of things that have
day? The inability 10 do this has de-
stroyed the faith of many. But this
loss Of faith is the result Of narrow
ness and bigotry.
"The first chapter Of Genesis, with
its story Of the creation. some may OBJ
iCct. is irrecOncilable with modern sci
eEce. But let us look at it from an
other point Of view. The Hebrews took
this story, scholars tell Us, from other
peoples. These other versions were
either immoral or without any ethical
significance. But the Hebrew version
is a clear. undesirable record Of the
effect of a nobler conception of God.
In this first chapter, with its old-fash-
toned story of the beginning Of things,
is matter enough for the preacher VINO
would reveal the living God. In this
spirit we can preach the Scriptures
despite the sharp contrast between the
old belief in miracles and the new be
lief in the Unerring laws through which
God works"
Professor Fosdick was born in New
YORK i'm 1873. He was graduated from
Colgate and the Union Theological
Seminary. In 1908 he was ordained 10
the Baptist ministry, and the next year
he became pastor OF the First Baptist
Church of Montclair lie has served
as a university preacher at Yale,
Princeton. Cornell. Amherst and Chi
cago. Before his present appointment
he was associate professor OF homi-
letics at the seminary.
