PIE. CHURCH DISPUTE
AGAIN TO THE FRONT
House of Bishops May Take Up
Question Of Panama
Conference.

NEW YORK, November 27.-Members
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
lere heard today that the contest over
he sending of delegates from that
hurch to the Panama congress of re-
ig,ions had been renewed. The queS-
ion was decided by the board of mis-
ions Of the Episcopal Church in ses-
ion here month ago, when it was
oted to send the delegates. This re-
ulted in the resignation from the
joard of DR.. William T. Manning of
Trinity Church, New York, and some
,thers who opposed taking part in the
congress.
According to information received by
hose who favor participation in the
'anama congress, some of their oppo-
nents, including Rt. Rev. Reginald H.
Weller, Bishop of Fond Du Lac, Wis,
lave asked Bishop Tuttle. head of the
House Of Bishops, to call meeting of
hat body to hear an appeal from the
Iecision of the board of missions. An
other purpose suggested for special
meeting of the House of Bishops is the
election of a successor to Rt. Rev.
George Biller, bishop of the missionary
district of South Dakota.
Some of the prominent members OF
he Episcopal Church oppose participa-
ton in the Panama congress because
they regard it as a conference of Prot
astant bodies which might tend to pre-
vent a drawing together of the Cath
olic and Episcopal churches.

..A,oD0,00O;0OO TOTAL
0ne-Half of Amount May Be in Cash
Subscriptions-People Re-

PARIS, November 27.-Paul Leroy
Beaulieu. the economist, estimated to-
day that subscriptions to the new
French war loan may amount to 20,-
000,000.000 francs $4,000, ,600.00O. OF
this amount perhaps one-half will be
cash subscriptions, the remainder rep
resenting conversion into the new loan
of earlier issues of treasury notes
and national defense bonds. No official
figures are yet available and other esti-
mates of the total are at wide variance
with that of NJ. Leroy -Beaulieu.
Officials of the treasury department
express great satisfaction with the re-
suits thus far. Lines of subscribers at
the Bank of France and many other
places today were as long as those
which waited yesterday.
Peasant Causes Surprise.
The promptness with which all
classes have responded to the call of
Finance Minister Ribot has given rise
to many odd incidents. A man with the
cap and blue blouse of a peasant was
asked at the Bank of France what de-
nominations of bonds he desired. The
clerk judged from his appearance that
he would subscribe for 100 tC LOCO
francs.
Il don't care" the peasant responded.
The less paper the better But give
me 1O0,0 900 francs worth
He paid one-tenth of this sam in gold.
A significant detail of The loan sub
scriptions is the increase in gold held
by the Bank of France, coming from
private hordes.

HOW FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS SERVE COUNTRY.
Make for Safety in Times of Stress,
Chicago Banker
Asserts.

CHICAGO, November 27-Praise for
the federal reserve banks and the eff
feet they have had on the finances OF
the nation was voiced today before the
conference Of the Western Economic
Society by Edmund D. Hubert CHI
cago banker, who reviewed present
financial conditions.
Mr. Hubert said that no one familiar
with the facts could doubt that had
the federal reserve banks been in
operation in August 1914. as they are
today there would have been no sus-
pension of payments in this country.
Swinging of the Pendulum.
"violent contractions in money and
credit are always followed by periods
of expansion. which, if unchecked. lead
almost certainly to another crisis"
said Mr.. Hubert.
I'VE are now passing through just
such a period of expansion. The func-
tion of the federal board to contract
credits in a period of overexpansion
is Just as important as is its function
to expand credits in a time Of excess
sive contractions
The farther the pendulum is allow
ed to swing in one direction the more
difficult 1t will be to check when 1t
starts the other way. and as the pres
ent tendency to expansion is beyond
the control of the federal reserve
board, it is quite possible that ten
dency to contraction may eventually
follow. which will also be beyond con-
troll.
Brakes at Both Ends.
what we want is to get the country
accustomed to having the brakes put
on at both ends" continued Mr.. Hull
bert, so that fluctuations or rates snail
be confined to narrower limits. Inc
financial safety of the country depends
on this Most of the financial crises we
have had are traceable to overexpan-
sion of credits caused by long period
of low interest rates..

Attitude of the Republicans.

Not a single republican member Of
the Senate or House has, up to this
time, expressed any opposition to the
program of reasonable preparedness.
This. again, is a forceful illustration
of the fact thai. when a great national
emergency confronts the country the
republican party can be depended upon
to meet such an emergency in an in
telligent and patriotic spirit. Although
the democrats have majority in Con-
gress it is my prediction that the pro-
gram that will be ultimately adopted
will receive two republican votes FOR
every democratic vote cast for IT."
