CUT OUT PRAYER
FOR PRESIDENT
Episcopalian Deputies De-
eide to Substitute Plea
for Nation

St. Louis, Oct 17.-The house OF
deputies of the general convention OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church voted
to-day to eliminate the special prayers
for the President Of the United States
from the morning and evening prayer
service and to substitute for them
prayer for the safety and preservation
Of the nation. The same prayer will
be used in both services.
As it is now in the prayer book, tho
morning prayer asks for the President
the boon, ain health and prosperity
long to live" and that he finally may
attain everlasting Joy and felicity. The
new prayer as adopted for both ser
vices. while asking that the President
"and all others in authority" be given
"the wisdom and strength to know and
to do Thy WILL" makes no reference to
long life, health, prosperity or eternal
felicity.
The house also voted, despite vigor-
Gus protests, to omit the words "the
Governor of this state" from the even
ing prayer, it being argued that "all
others In authority" included the gov
ernors.
Must Be Approved by Bishops.
The change must be approved by tho
House Of Bishops and by tbs next
general convention before 1t can be-
como effective.
Skilful parliamentary maneuvrirg
saved the resolution admitting women
to membership in the House Of Dep
uties from being killed by an adverse
committee report. From the time OF
the Church's first convention. in Phila-
delphia In l785, men only have been
allowed 70 represent dioceses on the
floor.
The commission to which the resolu-
ton, introduced by Robert II. Gard
iner, of Maine, had been referred, re-
ported the proposed change was mex
pedient at this time. Mr.. Gardiner,
before the report was acted on, made
a motion getting the original resolu-
ton on the calendar, thus giving 1t a
chance for discussion in the house.
Takes Cognizance Of War.
CogniIance Of the European war was
taken in both houses Of the convention
to-day. From the House Of Bishops
came the announcement that the pas
toral letter this year would contain
message to tho communicants OF the
Church ain view Of the present world
crisis"
The Right Rev. Charles Fl. Brent,
Bishop Of the Philippines; the Right
Rev. William Lawrence, Bishop OF
Massachusetts, and the Right. Kew.
Charles R. Anderson. Bishop OF CHI
eaeo. were chosen to draft the letter.

End of Greek Tragedy

VISCOUNT GREY
Crowds March to u. S.
Legation, Imploring
Protection.
tBy Cable 20 rhs Tribune

London, Oct. 1.-THE Greee
tragedy begins to move toward its
inevitable end.
After months Of temporizing tho
Allies have cast the die. They have
marched 1900 sailors TO Athens and
virtually taken over control Of the
city. Other troops have occupied inn
portant places in Piraus and donnie
nate railroad traffic from the port.
The situation is full Of dynamite.
The royalists are mastering their
forces, stirring up feeling against
the invader" There have been fre-
uuent demonstration In the streets
OF Athens, cheers for King Constar-
tine and Kisses for Admiral du
Founet. The first clash came to-
day, when q crowd attacked somd
French sailors and drove them back.
"Grave" Note Handed Government
A diplomatic note, described in in'
formed quarters as Of IAN extremely
grave character" has been handed to
the Greek government. At last "
seems that the plots and counter plots
and the rapid succession Of cabinets
which have marked Greek history toe
the last year are to cease.
Tho last vestige Of power is beng
stripped from King Constantine. mo
Allies have taken over the three Greek
battleships which were not surren'
dered last wek. The Kilkis, once tne
United States battleship Idaho; tho
Lemnos, formerly the Mississippi, nnd
the Averoff have been seized and their
Greek crews sent to Athens.
Venizelos, the rebel, has been :ecog'
nized. King Constantine's throne 10
tottering. The Greek capital, ostensN
bly, neutral, is full Of foreign troops
who are posted in its forts and whose
machine guns are trained on II from
its heights. London generally erpec"
sensational happenings without delay.
Move to Police Athens
Dispatches from the capital describe
conditions as dangerous" In profess
against the Allied occupation Of parts
of the city, 1000 mslcontents marched
to-day to the American Legation ana
demanded the protection Of the Amer"
lean Minister. Then they paraded the
streets, singing the national anthem.
The landing of the troops, ofhcia1
circles explain, is move to ooloe
Athens better and TO prevent royaii"
outbreaks. But, coming at the very
moment when a drastic note was dis
patched TO the Greek government, ~
seems TO be a final effort TO fores
Constantine's hand.
Soon after the Allied note was pres
sented the Greek King hurried 70
Athens and summoned Cabinet coun~
Gil. But. in view Of his recent utter
ances and the announced stand OF the
Lambros Ministry, it does not seem
likely that Greece can satisfy the
Allied demands. That is why recogrH
ton was accorded to Venizelos, sc-
cording TO diplomatic circles here.
Oficial announcement Is made hero
that Prince George Of Greece had
long interview yesterday with VS.
count Grey, Secretary for Forelga
Affairs. This conference has excited
considerable comment IN London, but
the Foreign Office assures The Tribune
that the Princes visit was purely on
personal matters. Even allowing for
this, London expects the crisis TO come
to had Soop

Constantine Tells Officers
He'll Stand by Them to
the End

Athens, Oct. 16 (via London, Oct.
1O.-As soon as the news that the
Allied sailors had been landed at
Pireus and had entered Athens
spread through the capital, its
streets swarmed with Greeks fran
tically cheering King Constantine
and chanting the Greek national
anthem.
Great crowds marched through the
streets, thousands gathering in the
neighborhood of the postoffice square.
Greece's Fate In Balance.
The War Minister, General
Dracos. ordered out Greek troops
and marines to guard every ap-
proach to the square in order to pre-
vent any clash between Greek civil
ians and the French, who occupied
that section, establishing a complete
Gordon about the French and taking
all precautions to avoid any incident
or accident capable of starting
strife.
II is impossible TO predict whether
trouble can be prevented throughout
the night. The Greek government Is
fully alive to the fact that Greece's
fate hangs on the prevention OF
further measures on the part OF the
French commander.
Earlier in the day a review by King
Constantine Of the sailors belonging
% the vessels of the Greek navy
which were taken by the Entente
Allies. was made the occasion OF an
immense royalist demonstration
crowds paradng the streets hauling
life-sized portraits Of the sovereign
and wildly cheering for the monarch.
King Pledges Firm Stand
Admiral Damianos, Minister of Ma
rine. read an order Of the day, praisins
the LOYALTY Of the sailors and compli-
menting them on their conduct under
most irving circumstances. After the
ceremony the King assembled the OFF,
cers about him and addressed them
personally.
King Constantine expressed pride
that they had scornsd offers Of money
and bonors and had remained faithful
70 their oath and their country. he
gave his word that he would stand by
.hem to the end against whatever con-
sequences their loyalty might entail
The King issued the following order
of the day:
"Oficers, sailors: In these hours,
when stricken and with bleeding hearts
each new moment from new wounds
deem in our souls, which so short a
time ago were proud in a united and
victorious Greece, my government mas

hearts and eyes wet with tears, every
man faithful 10 his oath, to the side
Of your King.
Hopes for Return OF Ships
"I thank you and congratulate YOU
oh. my faithful sailors. | thank you,

but as the representative of the father

"May our hopes soon be realized, and
