SPECIAL SERVICE
FOR THE CHILDREN N

Saratoga Springs, N. Y. May 8. "A
service for the burial OF children and
their reception into the church Is pro-
posed In revised ritual of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. which was sub.
mitted today for action by the general
conference in session here. Previously
only a. ceremony for adults has existed.
The report was offered by special
committee appointed in 1912 and is the
third proposal recently made for q
change in the form of services provid-
ed by John Wesley when he instituted
the church In 1889. The argument was
advanced during discussion today that
a modification Of the wording Is neces-
sary to consistency of usage and great
er clearness and brevity. Opposition
was based on the ground that the Ian
guage of the present ritual had been
made sacred by continued use.
The suggested form provides that
service for baptism of infants and for
ordination shall be greatly shortened.
The burial service would be modified
by the insertion Of additional scrip
tural selections giving fuller express
sion Of the Christian hope as found in
the new testament. In the marriage
ceremony it is provided that when the
ring Is used the words "and with all
my worldly goods thee endow," shall
be omitted, for the reason the commit
tee reported, that the ceremony itself
implies common ownership Of prop
srty.

.GE RMANS RAIDERS
NEAR THE AZORES
INCOMING STEAMER At NEW
YORK REPORTS HAVING
BEEN CHASED At SEA.

New York, May s-Capt. Guy Gaunt,
naval attache of the British embassy
at Washington, today investigated the
report that two German commerce
raiders, accompanied by two subma-
rines, are operating In the trans-At-
lantic steamship lanes off the Azores
islands, about 1900 miles from New
York. The story was brought here
yesterday by the steamship Venezia
of the Fabre line from Bordeaux.
Members of the crew said one of the
raiders fired several shots at the Ven
ezia on April % but was unable to
overtake her. The naval attache said
he intended to wire at once to Halifax
so that British cruisers now in Ameri-
can waters would be warned.
"They will know in Halifax if any
of our cruisers or auxiliary cruisers
are in the region reported by Capt.
Boniface," said Capt. Gaunt. If these
are really German raiders escaped
from Kiel, they will have short lease
of life. Undoubtedly there will be
great excitement in London when the
news reaches there that German raid
ers are loose again"
One of the men on the Venezia said
the vessel that fred on them flew no
flag and that she was accompanied
by larger vessel which in turn was
conveying the two submarines The
larger of the raiders did not join In
the chase.

KAISER SUGGESTS
PEACE POSSIBILITY
Is REPORTED TO HAVE ADDRESS,
ED THE POPE IN HOPES OF
ENDING THE WAR.

London, May s. The correspondent
at Rotterdam Of the Exchange Tele-
graph Co. cabled the following today:
"On the occasion Of the Easter festi-
val, Emperor William sent an auto
graph letter to Pope Benedict, express
ing the hope that the pontiff, with
the king of Spain, would be able to
construct scheme with the object of
bringing together, under the auspi-
cious emblem of the dove and olive
branch, conference of belligerents
for consideration of an immediate arm
istice, in the fervent hope of securing
an early peace without detriment to
the legitimate aspirations of national
tiles"

this information from a circular just
issued by the German humanity league.

Bavaria and Saxony, who had prolong.
ed audiences with Cardinal Gasparri,

Field headquarters, May By mo-
tor truck to Columbus, N NJ, May s.
The punitive expedition under Brig.
Gen. j. J. Pershing has accounted to
date for about 1875 Villa bandits slain
and between two and three hundred
wounded Meanwhile the Americans
lost six killed. ratio Of twenty ban
dts slain for every American life lost.
In wounded the bandits have suffered
nearly thirty casualties for every
American hit by bullet
While the expeditionary forces have
not lost one oficer, the Villa men have
had halt dozen of their leaders
killed. The significance of this show
ing was that it was made against some
Of the most desperate fighters in
Mexico men whose regulations have
ranked high among the military men
produced by five years of Mexican
revolution.
More important than the numerous
bandits killed has been their complete
loss Of morale. Nowhere will they
stand any longer to fight Americans.
A few shots from advantageous ground
and the bandits run, abandoning their
good positions before the Americans
are on equal terms.

ANOTHER NOTE

Wilson Tells Kaiser That
Relations Will Remain
as at Present Time
PROMISES TAKEN
AT FACE VALUES
Renewal of Submarine War
Without Warnings Will
Bring on New Crisis

Washington, D. c., May 8. A note
to Germany has practically been com
pleted and probably will go forward to
Berlin today. 1t will be made public
soon afterward. It is understood 1t
will be brief, informing Germany that
as long as the new instructions to sub.
marine commanders are observed dip.
lomatic relations will be continued but
that the United States can not allow
Germany to dictate it's negotiations
with Great Britain.
The president worked on the propos.
ed communication early today follow
ing his conference with Secretary Lam
sing last night. 1t is understood off,
cials are SO far agreed on the policy to
be pursued that it will not be neces-
sary to wait for the cabinet meeting
tomorrow. t...
While the German note has averted
for the present at least break in dip
lomatic relations, it was said today
that the president was not satisfied
with the apparent conditions attached
by Germany. The United States stands
by it's demand that Germany cease her
attacks on vessels in violation Of inter-
national law, regardless Of negotia-
tions which may be carried on with
Great Britain over the food blockade:
Some of his advisers wanted him to
make no reply to the German note and
only wait developments but he Is un-
derstood to have decided to. send the
new communication.
