Episcopal Conference to Revise
Ten Commandments.
Modern Way Abbreviates An
cient Mosaic Law.

st. Louis, Oct. 19.-The report of
the joint commission on the revision
of commandments which recommends
the shortening of six of the Ten Com
mandments is yet to come before the
deputies of the triennial Protestant
Episcopal church conference for con-
sideration. In its present position on
the calendar of the house it is likely
to come up for debate today. The re-
port proposes the following changes
from the present commandments. If
the report is adopted, the command
ments will read:
mo change from present.
2-Thou shalt not make unto thy
self any craven image nor the like
ness of anything that is in heaven
above or in the earth beneath or in
the water under the earth; thou shalt
not bow down to them nor worship
them
3-Thou shalt not take the name of
the Lord thy God in vaip-
4HRemember that thou keep holy
5-Honor thy father and thy
mother.
6-No change from the present.
NO change.
S-No change.
9-Thou shalt not bear false wit
10-Thou shalt not covet anything
that is thy neighbor's.
The proposed form eliminates words
of explanation or argument for their
observance.
This is the part which it is proposed
to eliminate because they are used in
the Litany of the church, which forms
one of the most important parts of the
Protestant Episcopal prayerbook.
Revising Prayer Book.
Line by line, the 621 clergymen and
laymen composing the house of depu-
ties of the general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal church are going
over their prayer books in an attempt
to revise and enrich it to meet de-
mands for greater freedom in the
service. Discussion of it's enrichment
by the addition of new prayers was
on the calendar today. the fourth day
on which the house met as a commit
tee of the whole to consider the re-
port of the commission on the prayer
book. submitted after three years of
study on the part of the members said
to represent several shades of ecclesi-
astical and theological thought
1t is expected that recommendations
of the commission to correct mis-
translations of Holy Scripture will be
discussed today One proposal is to
change the word "damnation' in sew
eral collects to Condemnation"
To Simplify Service.
Another step toward the simplifica-
ton of church service was taken when
appointment of committee to draft
a simple manual of church service for
use in parishes in which there are
numbers of unlettered and foreign
born persons, was announced in the
house of deputies. The Rev Irving P.
Johnson of Faribault Mimi, was
chosen chairman.

CALM CREEK RIOT
Anti-AIlies Reported q. s. Com
ing With Fleet.
RumOr COlIapses and Mob's
Hope Fades Away.

Athens, Oct. 19.-Greek troops are
in complete control of the situation
here today, anti-allies' mobs are be-
ing dispersed and for the time being
the possibilities of a serious clash be-
tween civilians and French marines
seem to have been averted.
The anti-allies leaders, however,
are continuing their attempts to or
ganize demonstrations and the crisis
is by no means past. 1t is understood
that King Constantine. following con-
ferences with the British and French
ministers, sent personal appeals to
the most prominent of his supporters
urging them not to stir up the Athens
crowds to acts of violence.
Expected U. S. Marines to Join.
The collapse of reports that a Uni
ted States fleet was approaching
Piraeus TO intervene disheartened the
civilians and has helped restore order.
Newspaper extras were circulated
about the city by the anti-allies lead
ers, reporting that American warships
would arrive within a few hours to see
that Greek neutrality was not violated
by the allies. These reports greatly
encouraged the mobs. thousands of
Greeks actually believing that they
would soon be Joined by American
marines.
TT is with joy that we hear of the
approaching arrival of the great
American fleet" said one newspaper
circulated by the royalists. 1T brings
relief in the midst of our torments.
America resents the sorrows of the
Greek people and doubtless will pro-
claim her reproof in a voice that will
resound across the sea"
The crowd that visited the Ameri-
can legation to present an appeal for
American Intervention learned that
these reports were i'll founded and the
news spread quickly thruout Athens.

ment of French marines was landed

the Red Sox, who always works with
this southpaw, was never satished
with the form of Dutch. Almost CON
tinuously throughout the game the
leader of the Sox had bevy Oh
pitchers warming up in far centre
field. At one time he was on the
point of calling on Vean Gregg for
help.
That should have been the tip-of
TO BROOKLYN. But it wasn't. The
Robins wouldn't let Leonard hang
himself. Often when they had him
in the hole they would go after bad
pitches. And time after time they
gummed up opportunities either
through Misunderstanding between
batter and base-runners or by mex
cusably bad work on the paths.
The first inning furnishes fitting
illustration. BROOKLYN should have
hammered Leonard off the hill in this
period. Carrigan was on the point OF
chasing Dutch when Zach Wheat made
very stupid play on the bases and
saved him the trouble. This bone"
was the turning point of the game.

YALE VARSITY
SHOWS STRENGTH
IN ITS ATTACK
First String Football Men Score
Four TOuchdOWns on
the Scrub.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 1.-THE
Yale varsity attack this afternoon gave
another successful exhibition of its
scoring power when it penetrated the
scrub line for four touchdowns in
thirty minutes. Three of the scores
came after series of short line
plunges which took the ball more than
sixty yards to the scrub goal, and which
represented no stable gains.
Only the first tally was spectacular,
representing two ffty-yard runs by the
veteran Harry lie Gore. Within two
minutes after play started he worked
around end for his first run of half
the length of the field, but was thrown
from behind on the scrub lO-yard line.
Putting the ball in play, he fumbled on
the next scrimmage, and Hal1Dack
Carey punted, for the scrub, back to
midfeld, where lie Gore on the next
play broke loose for his second o.
yard run, registering the first touch,
down. lie Gore also made the second
touchdown, and Fullback Emil jacques

In the fifth, with two gone, Merkle
and Wheat punched singles. Cutshaw
flied to Lewis after Quigley ruled a
strike on a pitch that looked high and
wide and which would have been
fourth ball. From the fifth to the
ninth no Brooklyn runner saw first
base.
There was only one really hard
chance for the Sox helders. Scott, in
the eighth. made a wonderful stop and
throw that killed hit at Merkle's ex
pense. Olson walked with one out in
the ninth. Meyers forced him. Getz
hit for Rucker and right at Gardner.
It seemed, in spite of Brooklyn's
shortcomings of the first inning, that
Marquard had dropped into a pretty
soft spot. The Rube started like
howitzer, tossing out his first opponent
and tanning the next two. But those
who figured so reckoned beyond Larry
Gardner.
This sterling athlete had home run
blow concealed in his person, the sec
ond circuit clout for two consecutive
days, and he delivered il where it
would do the most damage. He de-
livered it after Hoblitzell had walked
and Lewis had doubled against the
right field wall, with none out, in the
second. RUDE was pitching to Gard
ner. He carried Larry to three and
two. He stuck over fast ball, then
