REFUSED TO SWEAR OFF
Clergy of the Church of England OPP
posed to Total Abstinence.

The clergy comprising the lower
house of the convocation Of Canter-
bury are willing to set the nation an
example in the matter of temperance,
but they arc not willing to abstain
entirely from ALCOHOL. This was the
sense of the meeting today at tho
lower house, which passed a resolu-
ton "inviting the clergy and laity of
The church of England TO set an cx-
ample of self sacrifice in the matter
of alcoholic liquors.
Several members voted only after
being assured that total abstinence
was not expected of them. The Dean
of Canterbury said fatty. he refused
to swear Off altogether. He had tried
it before he said, and found it a
failure in that il impaired his health.

PHILADELPHIA
WANTS CRUISERS.

Owing to a change in orders iron
the Navy Department, it sald' TIT
German auxiliary cruiser Kronprln1
Wilhelm, which was scheduled to leave
Newport News yesterday morning foi
Portsmouth, where the actual intern
ment of the sea raider will take place
at the Navy Yard, did not leave. 1t
is reported that the cruiser Will not
he transferred until Monday. 1t is
known that strong effort is being
made to have the Wilhelm sent to
Philadelphia, and that the order OF
Secretary Daniel sending the ship to
Portsmouth has been held in abey-
ance until Saturday to hear the OBJ
icctions and arguments in favor of
the imternment at the Virginia port.
The suggestion that there Is not
room at the Norfolk navy yard TO in
tern this ship is absurd.
There is much "gush" concerning
fratcrnal feeling between the north
and south at reunions of veterans OF
both sections of the country, but
jealousy which is so often. apparent
upou the part of some northern cities
to the rapidly growing south is often
seen. The fact that the German
cruisers now in Virginia waters rush
ed within the capcs for protection
from hostile vessels should be sulflc-
lent reason TO keep them where they
arc until the close of hostiliticS.
The establishment of q regional
bank in Richmond caused dfsgruntlc-
mcnt TO Philadelphia aud Baltimore,
and some time ago, when The govern
mcnt announced its purpose to cstab'
lish an armor plant every effort was
made in certain sections TO prevent It's
location in the South.

where it would have been gazcd upon
by people from every quarter of The
country. This could not be, however,
as clamors were made for its return
to the northern port from which il
came. Now there is objection to the
German raiders being allowed to re-
main in Virginia waters.

ment adverse to West Virginia he

debt question which has been bone
of contention between new and old
Virginia since the close of the civil
war. there will he manifested a DIS
position upon the part of the Oft
spring of the Old Dominion to ignore
the mandate, or, in plain language
to defy any attempts to collect tn"
portion which will be assigned West
Virginia. This is unfortunate. as it
has been generally supposed that a
decree from the highest tribunal ii!
the land was an end of all controversy
and would be submitted to by all gonl
citizens.
Without threshing over the many
arguments, equitable as VIC believe.

during the past ialf century to bring

peat what was said by Virginia rep

MILLION AND A
HALF OF CRIPPLES.

British Government actuaries have
estimated that if the war continues
for two years disability-that is, in
juries which have resulted in perma-
nent crippling-will amount to II per
cent. Calculating upon 4 basis of an
army of 100000 men, Great Britain
will have to face as one Of the first
problems Of peace the care Of 100000
disabled men. If the war continues
for two years the armies in Europe
will aggregate at least 22,000,000
men, which means, if the actuaries Of
the British government have cstima-
ted correctly, that the various bellig-
elent countries will have upon their
hands 2,640,O00 cripplcs.
