Germany Takes Steps to Protect Hell
Merchant Marine.

Germany has taken steps to prevent
her merchant marine from being sold
to foreigners. The State Department
today announced 1t had received cable
advices from Berlin that under a law
passed October u the German govern
ment forbids any German citizens who
own or have a share III any merchant
ships to sell or in any way dispose of
the interest to any one who is not a
subject of Germany.
The law applies to German subjects
in foreign countries.
\ number of German vessels have
been bought by Americans since the
war began and there are many German
merchant ships laid W in American
ports. Gernanys action indicates to
officials here that she is endeavoring
TO keep intact her merchant marine
for use after the war. officials here
point out that Germany would have
no physical control over German mer-
chant ships in neutral waters. but ac-
tion might be taken against their
owners in Germany or against the
ships themselves if they returned to
German ports.

BISHOPS MAY HALT
PART IN CONGRESS
Dignitaries of P. E. Church
May Prevent Delegates
Going to Panama.

NEW YORK, October PA special
convention of the house of bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of
America will probably be called in the
near future in an effort to prevent the
Episcopal board of missions from car
rying out it's intention of sending dele
gates to the Panama interdenomina-
tional missionary congress- to be held
in February. according to the Ri. Rev.
Reginald II. Weller. Bishop of Fond du
Lac. Wis.
Bishop Weller was one of the five
church dgnitaries who resigned from
the board of missions when the board
at its quarterly meeting yesterday re-
fused to rescind a former resolution
authorizing participation in the Pana-
ma congress. Neither Bishop Weller
nor the Right Rev. Alfred Harding,
Bishop of Washington, D. c., and the
Rev DIR. William 7. Manning, rector of
Trinity Church, New York city, two
of the others who rendered their resig-
nations, attended the board meeting to-
day, despite efforts made by other
members to effect withdrawal of the
designations.
The board of missions, at today's
first session. adopted a resolution con-
corning instructions to be given the
delegates to the Panama congress,
which read. IN part:
Resolved, That our delegates go for

Developments of the board meeting
proposed plans of the Panama con-
ference, as well what was claimed
as the virtual exclusion of Roman
Catholics, had created great feeling in
the Protestant Episcopal church. 1t
was stated that the high church mem
ticipatiOn. while the low church mem
hers were generally favorable toward
participation.
The controversy It yesterdays meet
ing, in which the members opposing
participation in the Panama conference
were led by Bishop Weller and Dr.
Manning, disclosed the fact that the
uidwestern synod. which met in chi
cago recently. also opposed the Pan
anna conference by a vote of approx
mately ten 10 one. considerable pro-
portion of the low church members
voting against participation.
The Panama conference proposed ac-
cording TO the first announcements, TO

The Rev. Reese F. Alsop Of Brooklyn
declared that the meeting at Panama
would be solely a conference, not a
cooperative congress. A number of
others aided the Rev. Alsop in the de-
Tense.
Finally Bishop Weller arose again
and intimated that the feeling over the
Panama conference was SO keen in his
diocese that it might cause a break in
the church. A few minutes later the
vote was taken and Bishop Weller was
the first to tender his resignation.

Five Resign From the Board.

Five members of the board of missions
rendered their designations yesterday.
when the quarterly meeting OF the board
refused, by vote of IS to 70. TO rescind
the resolution adopted last May, to par
ticipate in the Panama interdenomina-
t'onal missionary conference to be held
in February.
The Roman Catholic Church, through
it's missions, several months ago, de-
clined the invitation to participate in
the Panama conference because il be-
!ieved the plans of the conference were
hostile to the Roman Catholic Church.
The Episcopal board Of missions was
able to reach a vote yesterday only
of il heated, and marking the most tur-
bulent meeting the board ever held.
according to several of the older mem
bers.
The FIVE members who rendered their
designations were Bishop Reginald Fl.
Weller, Fond du Lac, Wis; Bishop g.
Mott williams. Marquette, Mich; Bish-
op Alfred Harding, Washington, D. c.;
Rev. DR.. Selden p. Delany, Milwaukee,
and Rev Dr. William T Manning OF
Trinity Church, New York city.
The five men rendered their resig-
nations at almost the same moment, but
Bishop Richard II. Nelson of Albany
y. Y, announced that while he was en-
tirely In sympathy with the five dis
senters he refused to resign, but would
remain on the board and oppose the
proposal TO send delegates to the Pana-
ma conference.
The Rt. Rev Arthur s. Lloyd of New
York. president of the board, suggest
ed that the designations would not be
acted upon until today, when the
