that Russia will beat Great Britain tt

Russia are allies in the general conflict
against the central powers, they have
been rivals to a certain degree for pos

cling rapidly southwark have almost
reached the point where the possession of
the section will be contested with the
Turks who were left victorious over the
British by reason of the fall of Kut-el
Amara and the checking of the relieving
column from the southwark. Bagdad is
but a short distance north of the Per
sian gulf; and an outlet to the Persian
gulf is what Russia seeks. 1t is to be ex-
pected. therefore. that the army which

The squeezing of the Turkish force be-

inqushment of vast prize of war.

ELECTION OF
NEW BISHOPS

Tomorrow at the General Con-
ference.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May l2.--
Balloting for new bishops, one of the
most important matters to come before

copal churches. will begin tomorrow.
The conference decided yesterday TO
take up the election Immediately after

of which has been ordered for May 10.
1t was reported around the convention
hall yesterday that the committee on
episcopacy would recommend that Bishop
Edwin II. Hughes OF San Francisco be
transferred TO Boston TO succeed Bishop
John w Hamilton, who is to be retired
on account of age.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
yesterday to change the conference rules
to permit the election of bishops by a
majority instead of two-thirds vote.
The conference also decided that the
new bishops should be ordained on May
"a, the anniversary of John Wesleys
birth.
A resolution offered by Rev w. r.
Wedderspoon OF Washington to petition
Congress in behalf of uniform law on
marriage and divorce, was referred TO
the committee on state OF the church.

more like an afterthought, or an appen-
dix. The evidence in the case prepared
by the Washington government was IN
the hands of the German government
long before the crisis over diplomatic re.
lations regarding submarine warfare was
reached; and still Germany delayed her
acknowledgement of error in the Sussex
case until after the acceptance by the
American government of satisfactory
statement of position by the Berlin gov
eminent. However, the people OF the
United States have not come to expect
frank admission of error on the part of
the German government until time
when such frank admission becomes neg
ligible in value. Aside from the fact
that the lateness of its presentation, the
candid admission by Germany of respon
for an unlawful act is satisfac-
tory, coupled as it is with a promise to
make financial amends in so far as mon
ey can make amends.

planned to select town or city of about
5000 inhabitants, probably in New York
or Massachusetts and to apply there all
of the knowledge on the treatment and
prevention Of tuberculosis available with
a view to the ultimate eradication of the
disease. If the National association can
demonstrate that tuberculosis can be CON
