SEAMAN
MORE NUMEROUS
THAN BEFORE war
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.)

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-There are
approximately two and one half times
ping for foreign ports than at any
| time previous to the war, according
to Dr. George S. Webster, secretary
of the American Seamen's Friend So
ciety. He attributes this increase
partly to the increased wages being
given seamen and partly to the i'm
proved conditions under which they
are working.
Dr. Webster says. The past three
years has marked an almost unbeliev-
| able increase in the number Of Amer
| leans who are shipping as sailors At
our sailors home on the North River
water front, the men we had previous
~ cared for were almost entirely
British. Swedish and German If an
American born sailor should have
mingled in with this company he
have been more or less conspicuous.
Today we frequently lodge American
sailors and they are practically all
men who had not seen service in the
merchant marine prior to the out
break of the war. 1t is a very fair
estimate to say that fully two and
one half times as many Americans
are now seafaring men as prior to the
war. We can no longer say that the
American is 'land-lubber'
We venture to predict at The
American Seamens Friend society
that the proportion of the American
born sailors to those of other nation
alities will immensely increase after
the war. In case there is a slight
lapse in Industrial activity. the sea
farlng life will doubtless be of at
traction to many who have not hereto
fore considered it."

BIRTH OF A NATION"
 SALE IS OFF WELL

That another week of capacity busi- ness awaits "The Birth of Nation' in Birmingham is forecasted by the brisk opening of the advance sale of seats at the Jefferson theatre box of flee Thursday morning. The Griffith spectacle is to be presented at the Jeff ferson for the third tim this season as a special reunion offering, begin- ming Sunday with matinee and night performances and continuing twice daily throughout the week.
 While the Griffith spectacle deals with events of the civil war and re- construction periods and is enjoyed most by the men who fought through the early sixties. it is powerful ar gument for world peace One of it's most inspiring scenes represents a fu- ture brotherhood of love. In this an odd effect of distance is attained by the use of two stages with rising steps, one near the camera and the other removed about 100 feet. Between the two stages there is a hollow. The principals are stationed on the near stage. then comes the intervening hol- low and finally the more distant fea- lures of the background show on the ultimate distance fades into blackness, contrasting wonderfully with the gauzy robes and veilings of the char acters 2% the fore. Costumes of many nations are used but the effect is light and gossamer-like, the Joy of fiesta in the Land of Utopia.

COMMITTEE WOULD
 MODIFY RULES ON AMUSEMENT CLAUSE
Methodist Committee Rec Ommends Relaxation of Prohibition of Dancing
 and Card Playing

Saratoga Springs. May 12.-Members Of
 the Methodist Episcopal church who play
 cards. dance and attend the theatre
 will no longer be liable to expulsion, if
 recommendation by a subcommittee or the
 general conference which has been con-
 sidering the question of amusements are
 adopted by the committee on the state Of
 the church and later by the conference.
 The report was offered to the main com
 mittee late today, and after an acrimon- ious discussion. action was deferred until
 Monday.
 By vote of 10 to the subcommittee
 recommended the elimination from the
 book of discipline of the clause prohib- iting these amusements, and offered as a substitute an additional paragraph in
 which warning is made against the di-
 versons. The effect of the proposed
 change is to remove the absolute prohibi- tion but to place the church on record as still strongly opposed to these forms
 of amusement. A minority report was
 submitted, advising the retention of the
 paragraph as it stands.
 It was maintained by those favoring
 removal of the restriction that the pen
 atty now provided is not enforced in any church and that the effect upon the young people will be much greater if a provision that cannot be enforced is with
 drawn and a general warning issued that the church does not sanction dancing. playing at games of chance, attending theatres, horse races circuses, dancing parties, or patronizing dancing schools . Opposition to the change is based on the allegation that it means the church is letting down the bars"
 | The delegates were brought to a high | pitch of excitement today by a proposal, I submitted in the report of the commits sion on social service, which is designed l to place the church on record as in- dorsing the preferential shop, which, it i was charged, will lead later to the closed shop. If this is adopted, according to delegates who spoke in opposition. it vii. | place the church in the position of specif- 1 ically indorsing the methods of labor
 unions, and will result in the abolishment of the "open shop system in the publish | ing plants of the Methodist book concern
 in Cincinnati and Chicago. Although tech i nically "open," the plant at New York | city now employs only union labor.
