Bishop Cranston Declares
They Indorse the Presi-
dents Policy.

Saratoga Springs. \. Y, April 80.
Assurance that Methodists OF the
United States were in sympathy with
President Wilson's efforts to keep the
United States from becoming IN
yolved in the European war was ct
pressed here to-day by Bishop Ear
Cranston, of Washington. Bishop
Cranston. who will open the Twenty
seventh General Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church here to-
morrow. was addressing a preliminary
service.
~ would assure the President OF the
United States" the Bishop said, that
whatever temporary backslidng may
happen when a few Methodists here
or yonder may fall under the spell Of
magnetic political leader, the great
body OF our people are in full symps-
thy with all Of his patriotic and Chris
tian endeavor to keep this nation out

for personal reasons, at the risk Of
bringing the horrors and dcsolstions Of
war upon millions Of their fellow
Americans
Bishop Cranston indorsed the plan
proposed for the union Of the Northern
and Southern branches of the Church,
which is to be considered by the gem
eral conference.
To Settle Policies.
Policies destined for the next four
years TO govern over 100000 mem
bers OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
enrolled in $4,000 parishes throughout
the world wil be determined in the
next four weeks by the twenty-seyenth
General Conference Of that denomins
ton. which will be convened here to
morrow morning. Nine hundred dele
gates. comprising equal divisions OF
clergy and laymen, have been chosen
by 1872 annual conferences in Europe,
Asia, Africa and North and South
America to take part in the delibcrs-
tons Among the lay delegates are q
few women. who have been eligible for
membership since 1900.
Many of the delegates come from
Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgsr ria,
France and Russia, where Methodists

EFFORTS OF AMERICANS TO
 EXTEND TRADE IN FAR EAST
Have Attracted Attention of Japanese
 and English Newspapers in the

Pekin,( June g, = Japanese and English newspapers in the Orient are paying much attention of the efforts of Armericans to extend their trade in the Far East and undertake big devel- opment plans. Since the incorpora- tion of the American international Corporation campaign of criticism has been launched and the unfriendli- ness Of British and Japanese inter ests toward American activities in the Orient is disclosed in the news col- umns as we'll as in contributed let ters and editorials which are apear- ing in newspapers in Japan as well as in the treaty ports of China
 American business extension is dis cussed as a perial to Japanese and English interests in China. Especial apprehension seems to exist among the British as to what American con- cerns may do in the Yang g=tse valley. Japan also regards that valley, which is the very heart of China, as in it's sphere of influence and is battling to keep Americans from getting foot hold there.
 The English press in China has paid n1Uch attention to prospective im- prove in the city of Hankow, which is called the Chicago of China and lies at the head of deep water navigation on the Yang-tse. An English concern, Sameuls and Company, Ilbd- ob- tained a concession for installing an electric light plant and other munlci- pal improvements in Hanlxow. Be- cause Of the unsettled financial market in England the company has been un- able to raise money for it's undertaaS- ing5. However, the offer of Amer1- cans to undertake the financing of the improvements has been denounced hotly in inc English press as an at- tempt to undermine British interests It has even been hiuted that such <ks- ton on the part of Americans shows the unfrfend1iness of the United States toward England. Englishmen W7an are associated with the American fn- terests which stand ready to provide money for the Hanl1ow iIuproEeuaents have been declared disIoyal to their native land.

In many papers discussion of American busi- ness extension was linked up with American plans for larger army and navy, and the possible position of the United States on the Pacific in future years is eagerly commented upon.
 The Yamato of Tolzio, has warned tine Japanese that they must watch very carefully the activities of Anerf- can International Corporation and other American concerns which will compete with Japanese shipping inter- ests and business men in the Orient. It says: 'The Americans like to start things on a grand scale. As their systems win economize cost of pro- d1ction by big scale system.
