MORE COMMUNITY cHRcHES
AND LESS SECTARrAN
Statement in Advocacy Made by Prof.
William 3. Bailey of Yale.

New Haven, Conn, April 15.-'What
we need is more community churches
and les ssectarian churches" said
Professor William B. Bailey Of Yale
today in addressing the annual con-
vocation of alumni and ministers of
Connecticut at the Yale School of Re-
igion, on the rural church problem.
He advocated a rural survey as a
means of getting at the exact condi-
ton and said that a close study would
probably reveal that many communi-
ties are -churched and was of the
opinion that the wedding out process
as applied to struggling parishes with
a view to instilling the community
idea and working it out would be a
good solution of the church problem.
which he said is generally admitted
to be a serious one. A good ball team
and a place to play in II 1T were
formed. hall where dances and plays
could be given under proper super
vision, old home weeks and other
things were suggested by the speaker
to keep up the interest of the young
people of the rural districts and to dis
courage their looking toward the cities
as a center of recreation.
Rev. George w. Pepper of Philadel-
phia, in the fifth Lyman Beecher lee
ture delivered before the convocation
declared:
There is no doubt in my mind that
the Roman Catholics have the finest
system of teaching possible. and I am
positive that the time is coming when
move will be promoted to have each
religion care for the education of the
children of its creed, just as the Ro-
man Catholics are doing at the pres
ent time. I believe that these various
religions will receive a small COM
pensation from the state for the edu-
cation Of each pupil. In this way the
children of each creed will be freed
from rival claims of other creeds and
the time is not far distant when tc
know God will be considered the great
est of all the uses of the human mind
And, when this move is started ye9
may be sure that it will have strong
political backing

visional presidency and concluded
with the assertion that my country
cannot be conquered" Sixteen mil
mons of men, women and children
would have to be killed before Mex
leo would submit to an invader, he
asserted.
Says Washington Was Not Fair.
The heads of the Washington ad-
ministration, he declared, had not
been fair to Mexico, had been misled
by false statements and if they had
been In Mexico for thirty days they
would have changed thelr theoretical
erroneous IDEAS" Had it not been
for the embargo on the expectation OF
arms from this country, General HUI
erta indicated that his army would
nave prevailed over LnOSe opposed to

because he hoped to bring peace to his
country.
He pointed out that in the eight
| months since that date the situation
| in Mexico had become too sad for me
| to analyze deeply"
Anarchy is too soft a word to cal

| that would be he did not know.
Not Going to Mexican Border.
General Huerta declined tin re

established, to their apparent salts
faction, the identity of the victim as
Miss Claudia Hansbury of Lansing
burg, n. Y, arrested Rafael Viullo,
well-tO-do contractor, and charged
him with homicide. The new element
was the declaration of persons in
Troy, that they had found Miss Hans
bury living there and had talked with
her today.
Body Found in Vacant Lot.
The spot where the slain girls body
Wa-, found, in d vacant lot of the As
tor estate in the Bronx, was her

! Hadn't Seen Her For Five Months.
| He could not tell the last name of

| he said. He hadn't seen her for five
months, but he had heard she lived

114th. street. He thought he could
point out the house. The coroner took
