President Describes SeF
 As M Fighting Mood

ing established the horizon of his bus to lift his eyes to the great multitude of laboring men and striving women who constitute a great nation like ours and in the very act of advising them get, in his own consciousness some part of the impulse of their life. You can not commend your business to the people that you do not understand and you cannot understand the people of the United States without wishing to serve them.
 So l come to you with this thought America is at a point, gentlemen where it is more than ever necessary that she should understand her own ideals, not only but be ready to put them into action at any cost. It is one thing to entertain fine principles and another thing to make them work. Ii is one thing to entertain them in for mulas of words like the splendid words which were uttered and give distine- ton to this ancient and historic build ing. but it is another thing to dc what those same men did make those words live in the action of their lives And America is summoned in eacf new generation to renew not only the pledges that those men made, but tC renew the example which they gave the world.
 T am not interested and I beg tha1 you will believe me when l say that never have been interested in fighting for myself, but I am immensely in terested in fighting for things that
 believe in, and so far as they are con cerned. I am a challenger to all com CTS It is important therefore, since am in fighting mood to let you know what are some of the things that do believe in.
 Tn the first place, I believe and summon you to show your belief 1T the same thing. that it is the duty o every American in everything that h' does. in his business and out of it, tt think first. not of himself or of an! interest which he may be called upol to sacrifice, but of the country whicl we serve. America first means noth ing until you translate it in what yol do So I believe most profoundly il the duty of every American to exal the national consciousness by purify ing his own motives and exhibiting his own devotion.
 T believe in the second place tha i America, the country that We pu 1 first in our thoughts, should be read.

row, if The reports Of Committees and
sub-conflnittees are endorsed.
In the marrigae ceremony the COM
mittee will recommend that the word
"obey' in the brides promise be re-
placed by "Keep," that the giving
oway Of the bride be omitted entire
ly and the groom's promise to ZEN
dow the bride with all his worldly
goods" NE eliminated.
A committee will recommend that
the commandments be shortened by
the omission Of the reason for their
observance. The Recommendation
Will be based on the fact that the
reasons were peculiar to the life OF
tie Isra 'ites and that changed mod
ern ways have robbed the arguments
Of ~,rch # their weight.
The committee on revising the
1ous aver will recommend the
,''~,:ro+'or # he words, "For Thine
is the Kingdom and the Power and
the Glory Forever" In requesting
the omission the committee will say
the words constitute a part OF the
Doxolagy added by early translators
and that they are not in the Original
text of Holy Scripture. The commls-
son would make the prayer Identical
with the Roman Catholic version The
same committee will probably ask the
eliminat on from the Boon Of Common
Prayers the prayers for "Jews, in
fidels and Turks" The proposal is
based On the ground that it is unwsr-
ranted to class the Jews with the
others.
A canon prohibiting marriage when
either party to the contract has
wife or husband living and has been
divorced for any cause arising after
marriaeg, will be presented for ac-
ton. Many notable churchmen gath

SEAS FOR
CREW

NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 1O.-Eleven
American destroyers steaming in line
with five miles of rolling ocean be-
tween them swept the Atlantic off
Nantucket, where the five or six
fIeighters were sunk by a German sub
marine off Nantucket Sunday, in
another effort to locate the crew Of
the Kingston, or the Kingstonian.
CtpaIn f. l.. Yates of the Uruguayan
steamer, P. L. M number four, which
rescued the crew of the British steam
er Strathmede, said he believed the
in:me of the Christian Knudsen had
been misread the Kingston" some
way, when the reporre were transmit
ted by wireless
He piointed out that all of the
steamers were sunk within compara-
lively small radius and the crews of
the five ships which were known to
have gone down were easily and speed
lily found by U. S. destroyers. The
care taken by the German submarine
commander seems to be confirma-
ton of the law giving crews time to
escape to their boats. This also points
tc. the fact that it would seem unreas-
opable that one crew could possibly be
overlooked by the warships. Seven
teen destroyers were in the water Off
Nantucket at one time, and if the ship
named Kingston was sunk, some trace
of her crew or wreckage of some sort
would surely be found. To further
bear out of the theory that the report
ing of the Kingston was most likely
an error, S pointed out that the three
additional ships reported sunk is un-
true.
NEWPORT, R. l., Oct. 1O.-Al-
though Admiral Cleves has reported
two members of the steamer Kingston

NV YORK Oct. 10,-The belief
that only five ships were sunk by the
German submarine off Nantucket grew
shirninr relies as vague contradic-
ton of the reports concerning the
crew of the steaemr Kingston were re-
ceived. Thirty-six hours have elapsed
-irce the Kingston was supposed to
have been sunk.
Without trace of the crew 1t is be-
lieved that the name of the vessel may
have been misread by the wireless op-
orator. Within the last twelve hours
an argument has arisen as to whether
the name was Kingston or Kingston
