Newfeld Avenue Tenants Must Get
 Out of Building

Testimony before Justice Abe Geduldig in the summary process case of Frank Parella, owner of a store and tenement at 638 Newfield ave- nue against Frank Phillip and Paul Weiss disclosed that while the Jew ish race and the Italian people may live in harmony all is discord when a Chinese and negro attempt to occupy the same quarters.
 The four nationa1ities appeared in court yesterday with attorneys and Chinese interpreters as a result of factional fights that caused Robert Allen, colored, who described himself as cook on United States battleship to climb to his apartments by means of a ladder when he was refused ad- the Hop Lee laundry.
 The testimony today showed that Parella had leased the store and up- pers quarters to Frank Phillip and Paul Weiss for a confectionery store and living quarters. The defendants were charged with sub-letting in vio- lation of their contracts. first the up- per floor to Allen and later the store to Hop Lee. who began the laundry business. Though Parella protested, the occupancy continued until Hop Lee barred entrance to the oolored man who then had to climb to his rooms by means of a ladder. Though Allen was unable to discuss the situa- tion with Hop Lee he found a ready nearer in the proprietor of well established Chinese laundry nearby with the result that Parellaf was in- duced to go to law. Justice Geduldig after hearing full testimony ordered the defendants to vacate the prop erty.

BISHOP TUTTLE> WILL OBSERVE
 JUBILEE YEAR
Episcopal Convention Will
 Be Held In His See

The forty-fourth triennial general convention of the Protestant Episco- pal Church will be held this year in St. Louis, opening Wednesday. Octo- Der II. This is the first time in its history that this gathering has been held west of the Mississippi. An out standing feature of this convention will be the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the election to episco- pate of Bishop Futile, of Missouri, the oldest bishop of the American church.
 Each of the 6s dioceses has already elected four clerical and four lay dep uties; the 23 missionary districts have chosen their one lay and one clerical deputy; and the 10 foreign Jurisdic- tions will each have a representative In addition to these 500 clerical and lay deputies, 122 bishops will be pres ent. J
 The convention sits as two houses, the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies, each having a veto upon the other. Its primary object is to make laws for the, Protestant Episco- pal church. Legislation takes the form of canons which are operative at once, and amendments of the consti- tuition which require action by two successive conventions. The House of Bishops fills vacancies with the concurrence of the lower house.
 In the House of Deputies there are IA standing committees appointed by the president. There are also 10 committees or commissions of the House of Bishops. In addition the joint commissions and committees of the two houses number 36.
 Among the important subjects now under consideration by these bodies are the Relation of the Episcopal Church to Other Christian Commun7 ions"; Revision and Enrichment of the Prayer Book" Christian Educa- tion; E'The Divorce Problem;" "Mis- sionary Organization" ''The Election of Bishop for Negroes in the Unit ed States;" and an adequate pension system for the clergy.
 Both houses of the convention will meet in the Moolah Temple, the ses- sions of the House of Deputies being open to the public. For the past few years there has been a growing agita- ton against the exclusion of the press and public from the sessions of the House of Bishops. A proposal to feated by very narroW majority at the last general convention in New York, but there is every reason to be- lieve that it will be successful this year.

welt has changed. Four years ago he damned the Republican Party and its leaders with every superlative of de- scriptive obloquy as the inveterate en- emies of the people; and of MT. Hughes he telegraphed so late as June 9th last, that it behooved the Repub- licans to nominate one who would be Gin good faith an American President and not one who would be viceroy of a foreign government" It is hardly possible that the Republican Party or MT. Hughes could be so bad as MT. Roosevelt described them; for the body of Republicans, like most others, hold honestly enough their views, however erroneous and anti democratic they may be; and MT. Hughes is a gentleman of high per- sonal character, though somewhat diIatory, and shy in facing the great issue of the hour. MT. Roosevelt re- ferred to him as one who might be the viceroy of foreign government, and he was undoubtedly timid and enigmatic according to even authori- tative Republican journals, in com- ing out frankly on the issues of the hour. But the leaders of the Repub- lican Party are still what MT. Roose- welt said they were four years ago, the opponents of the rights of the people, and MT. Hughes is the candi- date of those leaders, and of those who, as MT. Roosevelt said in June, would make America satrapy of a foreign imperialism, while MT. Will son, as is shown by his record before the people, is the candidate of the people and stands for America against the world.
 With intrepid courage he has main tained against every challenge, every American right and has made them to be recognized by every power of Eu- rope. Never has America stood so strong before other nations as to-day. When, at a crucial time, resolutions were introduced in the Congress to limit the freedom of Americans and forbid them to travel on unarmed merchant ships. MT. Wilson staked his leadership of the Democracy on the question, and though ninety odd Republicans, led by the Republican leader, voted in the House for the limitation, he saved unimpaired the rights of Americans to travel the high seas unhindered. save according to International Law-as he had al7 ready saved their right to send their commerce on the seas.
 They revi(e him for sending notes as they revfle him for everything else that he has done. It was bet ter to send notes than armies, where notes secured concessions such as he got Nc more sane, sound, success full diplomacy shines in our annals than that by which MT. Wilson, fol- lowing the course of our greatest Presidents, has held the warning na- tions of Europe to respect the man. dates of International Law, where our rights are concerned.
 It is for his intrepid championing of the, rights of America and Americans, and for his wisdom in leading the par ty of the people, that the German al- 1iance with the Bosses of the Repub- lican Party b4ve sought to punish him by the nomination of MT. Hughes. If MT. Wilson shall be defeated. it will be because he has been the intrepid champion of the American people and American rights.

Number of Steamers Lost Is Decreasing

London, Sept. 1S.-LlOyQS SnlpplHS Register just issued. gives the return of losses of merchant shipping, deal ing with the quarter ending March last, the intervening time being re- quired for obtaining accurate ,infor- mation from all countries of the world. The total losses from all cau- ses, from war misadventure and oth- CT natural conditions. for this quar- ter, were 316 vessels of 612,519 tons.
 This is less than in preceding quar- ters, due in part to smaller war loss- es. Che total of war losses for the quarter is not by any means as great aslfn some earlier periods of the war. The war losses of all nations for the u,1arter ending in March include 137 .veescls of 389.994 tons, more than orie- third of these being those of oth- eri countries than Great Britain. In the September quarter of last year, for instance, the total war losses were 229 vessels of 462,553 tons, while in the December quarter of last year the war losses were 167 vessels of 4O9,5S7 tons, so it will be seen there Is falling off.
 Losses in the Baltic fleet from all causes are about double the normal volume, but notwithstanding this per centage of loss for the March quarter it is only III per cent. of the ton mage owned, representing consider ably less than z per cent. per annum.
 This is regarded as a fair proportion ana equal only to the normal rate of los& in the merchant fleets of most of the other maritime nations of the world.
 Neutral countries are suffering heavily from this shipping return. It Is seen that the Dutch are losing now at an annual rate between 9 and 10 per cent. of the tonnage owned: Nor way over per cent; Spain, 7.6 per cent, and Sweden between 4 and 5 per cent
 .' Tn the quarter under review, the war losses of Holland were vessels, 34,355 tons; of Norway, 12 vessels, 21,15s tons; of Sweden, vessels, B. 99e tons and of Spain, vessels, B. 981 tons. The fact that the German fleet has been swept from the high seas fs shown by the circumstance that their war losses were only vessels, 474 tons and their total losses from all causes 5 vessels, 5,05S tons.
 
 Britain, France lost most heavily du- ring this quarter, its war losses being 16 vessels, 47.4oS tons. but on the other hand. only small craft were lost by misadventure. the total losses being 48,407 tons. Italy lost by war operations vessels tota1ing S.102 tons. but 8'vessels were lost by misadven- ture of double the tonnage lost. Japan lost no vessels owing to war, and the losses by natural causes made up 9 vesssla, 59,S35 tons. Russia lost by war vessels, 4.700 tons. and oth- ers, making the total loss from all !, causes es1 tons.

Y. M. c. A. IN WAR

Although the Young Mems Christian Association movement is of British
 origin, having been launched in Lor-
 don in 1S44. it has been slower in win ming it's way to general popular favor in the land of it's birth than in the United States and Canada. The war has given the Y. M. c. A. a chance to show the stuff it is made of, and the result has been highly satisfactory to those interested in the work. MT. Thomas Atkins no longer sneers at the Y. M. c. A. as bunch of bloomin' 'sissies, as he used to do. He has learned that the association has ,"the goods" and is not merely a device to cram religion down his throat. Wheth- CT his fighting has been done in Egypt, GalIipoli, Salonika, Flanders or "some- where in France" Tommy has found tents and huts fitted up as Y. M. c. A. and in charge of men eager and will ing to serve him. The Y. M. c. A. buildings in London and many other English cities have been made head quarters for the returned Tommies who have been given leaves of absence to recover from wounds or illness. The Y. M. C.. A. "got into the game" in the early days of the war, mobilizing its forces in remarkably short time. Within ten days from the beginning of hostilities some 25o huts and tents had been established in the war and mobilization areas, and before the close of the year the number of these centers had passed the thousand mark. The slow growth of the Y. M: c. A. in England before the war was due to the fact that the society was largely in charge of men of such religious zeal that youth could scarcely enter Y. M. c. A. without being bounced on and asked to "come to Christ" The war has brought wisdom to the Y. M. C. A. leaders, and they now hold to the ideal of service, leaving religion in the background.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME.

It has been Suggested that this city be represented in the Atlantic league next season. The possibilities of such a timing are remote, to say the least, and will be as long as Jim O'Rourke is interested in local base ball and Sam Crane Is interested in the league. The latter is president of the league->and will probably con, tinue so. He is an old ball player and as baseball writer for the New York Press has gone out of his way to malign O'Rourke for purely per- sonal reasons.
