j n. NEW YORK, NOV. 19.-The an

TAFT DENIES
REPORTS Of
AUSTRIAN PLOT
To Obtain Possession Of Cases.
of Anti-Tefanus Serum Pre-
pared by Board.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1s.-Wil-
liam H. Taft, chairman Of the central
committee of the American Red Cross,
makes public a statement in connec-
ton of recently published reports, con-
corning a shipment Of anti-tetanus
serum to Austria. Mr.. Taft points out
that the reports have intimated that
the Austrian consulate in New York
plotted to obtain possession Of tho
cases Of serum, which had been pre-
pared by the New York city board of
health. In justice to the Austrian con-
sui general, Mr.. Taft, on behalf Of the
Red Cross, denies the intimation OF the
published reports. and makes known
the facts in detail as follows:
The American Red Cross had a con-
signment o feleven boxes Of anti-te-
tanus serum, prepared by the New
York city board Of health. for the
Austrian Red Cross. Eight boxes only
were received in time for shipment,
the remaining three boxes arriving a
day or two late. AS there would not
be another Austrian shipment for some
time, and there were no facilities at
the warehouse for keeping this serum
Geld in warm weather to preserve its
efficiency the Red Cross agent tele-
phoned to the Austrian consulate ask
ing IL 1t could find some means Of send
ing over these additional three boxes.
The consulate. through the courtesy of
Mrs. Hurd and Mr.. Weld, were able to
make arrangements for this shipment.
The steanerswas to sail on the -hrst OF
June, early in the morning. The
thtrty.hrst Of May was a holiday, and
our agent requested that these boxes
be taken by the consulate on Saturday,
as the warehouse would not be open
on Sunday and Monday and there
would not be time Tuesday morning,
June /. to get the boxes from Brook
lyn to Huboken. 1t was therefore in
compliance with the request Of the
agent Of the Red Cross that the con-
sulate sent for the boxes on Saturday,
holding them until early Tuesday.

Better financial administration for
churches and prob 1ems Of social un-

speakers at Fridays sessions of the
Laymen's Missionary Movement con-
vention ut the First Methodist Epis-
copal church. Group sessions were
held during the afternoon for the pur-
pose Of effecting organizations for
each OF the twenty-four West Vir-
GINA counties embraced by the con-
vention and carrying the missionary
campaign home to those counties.
j. r. Harding, secretary for the
province of New York and New Jer-
sey Of the Episcopal church, deliver
ed an interesting address at the morn
ing session. He said the crux of the
whole laymen's movement lies with
the Individual. We believe in the
power OF moving the mass, but unless
every man goes home and puts his in
spiration into practice the. whole thing
will fail. A great many churches,
said the speaker, are dependable and
meet their requirements, but 1t is
necessary to have a field secretary go-
ing around and stirring UP the peo-.
pie. New York and New Jersey are
highly developed in missionary work,
and yet have to keep injecting stimu-i
lants into 1t. Back of all system, de-
clared Mr.. Harding. there must be. q
passion for the work. The weakness
Is the passion for getting money and
other possessions. ~

man, the people are willing to be led

done. The laymen are willing to CO.

will adopt 1t. Why not, then, do It
in ones own church? From the era
die up. men are eternally being edu-
Gated IN missionary kork. yet a great
majority Of the church people are
,densely ignorant as to the missionary
fields and the great leaders In them.
Mission study classes ought to be
held for men as well as for women IN
every church, the speaker declared.
Those present were asked to go back
and organize such classes In their
churches, The missionary societies
already organized can furnish plenty
OF material.
The missionary movement leaders
want to release the dormant vitality,
in religion. Christianity is that kind.
