St. Louis, Oct. :1-Warning Ameri-
cans against 1.-THE danger Of race antip-
athy flaming into hatred" and against
unconsecrated propriety which is
bound to cause manhood to decay, the
pastoral letter of the Protestant Epls-
copal church was read at the final JOINT
session OF the triennial convention here
today.
The letter is the message of the 1OS
Bishops Of the church to it's members
and with the church law will be ready
in every Episcopalian church in the
country. Unlike most previous pas
toral letters it dealt with secular rath-
err than ecclesiastical affairs. 1t re-
viewed conditions in the United States
and Europe and in the Orient and
pointed out to this country the threat
that fingers in a nationalism which as
sumes the ugly role of group selfish
ness or false patriotism"
Calls for Justice
whatever dangers may lie lurking
beyond our western horizon" 1t as
serted, "can surely be averted by a
spirit of justice which has not always
prevailed in our dealings with the
Orient"
Members of the church were admon-
ished to "sanctify their wealth by Of
fering freely of their substance to Gods
cause" it being added that 1.-THE wounds
of Armenia, Poland and Belgium still
lie gaping to the sky and offer their
dumb appeal to God and man."
The letter in part follows:
America is involved today in world
wide confusion which finds it's most
acute expression in the battlefields Of
Europe. No selfish isolation on our
part is possible. The fortunes Of the
nations are interviewer as are the
threads of a tapestry.
Interest can never again be section
al. The world is henceforth one for
the time being in a disturbed and suf-
fering unity. in days to come in a unity
where order and health will reign. A
man cannot be passionless and retain
his manhood"

Berlin, Oct. 27.-(By Wireless to
ille).-Reviewing the military OPP
erations of the forces of the Central
Powers and their allies in Dobrudja
which resulted in the capture OF the
Black Sea port of Constanza and the
railroad terminus of Tchernavoda, the
military critic of the Overseas News
Agency writes:
1.-THE conquest of ConstanZa, the
largest Rumanian seaport. and of the
Danube bridgehead, Tchernavoda,
brings the Dobrudja engagement of
Oct 10 to 70 to a glorious end and the
result is a decisive blow to the Ru-
manian campaign.
1.-The victorious advance of the allied
German, Bulgarian and Turkish troops
came at the end of September to a
standstill before the strong hostile
main positions of Toprai-Sari, Txopa-
din and Rachova.
Tenacious Attack
1.-The attack began on the morning of
Oct. 10. The weather being bright the
artillery was better able to measure the
distances and it's fire was more eff
cient. The right wing of the enemy af-
ter two hours of artillery fire and ten
acious fighting was thrown from the
flrst positions.
"On Oct 20 the battle was continued
with the utmost energy. The fighting
for Toprai-Sari especially was violent
and the enemy evacuated the district
south of Tuzla. Tuzla itself was occu-
pied without any fighting"
Turkish Troops Commended
THE booty of the first two days in
cluded two officers, one the commander
Of the Russian regiments. and 1900 men
Of whom more than 5000 were Russians
and is machine guns and one mine throw

bravery and took prisoner more than $50,
Russians.
ION october q the battle concentrated
around Toprai-Sari and Txopadin. which
were the keys to the situation. Masked
artillery and infantry attacks of the cen
trail allies against the position south OF
Toprai-Sari forced the enemy to yield 81
midday.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen with his
staff observed from height 30 the re-
treat OF the hostile masses as she;
streamed backward, and under the In
huence of our most efficient artillery fire
at many places their retirement was

MAN seaport. and on the same eve

troops reached Islamtepe.

it was such a small percentage that lit
could hardly affect the great remain
ing percentage"
"Why, if you had the greatest dis
tress in this country" Mr.. Hughes said,
"you would still have a tremendous
volume of commerce and trade. 1t does
not take much to contract the pros
perity of this country, to destroy the
prosperity of this country The great
percentage of our exchanges and OF our
commerce would continue. even If we
were in very serious straits.
when you infuse this abnormal de-
mand to which 1 have referred. you
have given a stimulus which undouDt-
eddy is felt through the country; and
when you have a policy carried into
effect such as was involved in the IN
derwood bill the contraction resulting
from that policy. although perhaps a
small percentage, was enough to send
hundreds and thousands of working
men into the street.
Let US not deceive ourselves. Let us
take account of what is necessary for
the protection of our industry and let
us have it understood that we are do
ing it. not to give benefits to a few but
to nrovide a basis for prosperity for the
many.
1T is said, after scoffing at the SUCCESS
ton that Is made with respect to COM
petition with an energized Europe, after
suggesting that America is able to take
care of itself, implying, of course. with
the present governmental policies-after
saying there is no such thing, then 1t Is
said. well, we have made provision with
respect to it in our anti-dumping clause
in our revenue bill And anybody that
is going to threaten American industry
and anybody who will in any way inter-
fere with our conditions here may have
to pay a few thousand dollars fine or go
to jail"
That, Mr.. Hughes said. reminded him
of the story of the man charged with the
theft of a copper kettle. who was ready
with two defenses: First, that he never
saw the kettle and never stole it; and
second, that the kettle had a hole in 1t
anyway.

lcan Nominee Tells New York Audience

Rochester, Oct N.-Charles E. Hughes
tonight replied to statements in Presi-

ing preparations to meet commercial
competition after the war. Mr.. Hughes
told an audience here that the admin

which were afterwards Changed; that he
considered the anti-dumping provision of
the revenue bill intended to meet the
situation. as "farcical" and worse than
useless" to protect American wdrkmen;
and that, even if the percentage of ex-
ports of commodities to supply armies
was small it required but very little ito
contract or destroy the prosperity OF the
country
The nominee addressed an audience
that cheered him repeatedly. He told
them that as he had been while gov
ernor of New York he was now and
should be in the future that he was will-
ing to stand or fall by what he believed
to be right.
America Not Ready
1T was said in December, 1914" Mr..
Hughes asserted that America was
ready; that any suggestion to. the con-
trary was thoughtless. But in truth
America was far from ready. 1t is now
said with reference to the commercial
rivalry that America is ready. I think in
truth America is far from ready anc
that we shall not be ready until we have
a clearer notion of what we may ex-
pect."
Statistics Of Imports
Mr.. Hughes cited statistics of i'm
ports in answer to the Presidents dec
laration that everything exported from
the United States to supply armies
does not total one per cent. of the to-
tai of American commerce. After stat
ing the increase in chemicals. brass,
breadstuffs. iron and steel, cotton and
other commodities, Mr.. Hughes de-
clared that expectations of explosives,
including cartridges, had increased
from 100000 to $467. 100000 in one
year, with an increase in total exports
of $4,000, 100000. The nominee said he
