EFFORTS TO CHANGE

leaders of the wing of the church ad-
vocating the change announced to-
day This follows the action of the
house of deputies of the convention
yesterday adopting without debate a
title page which reaffirmed the pres
ent name of the church.
For several years a change of name
has been advocated upon the ground
that the word protestant" in the title
apparently allies it with those de-
nominations having their origin with
the reformation. The Protestant Epis-
copal church traces its history to the
time of Christ. they assert
Many names have been suggested
among them being the american
Episcopal church, the "Catholic
Church of America" the American
Catholic church and the "Anglo-Cath-
Ollie church. ts
THE time is not yet ripe to press
the movement for change Of name,
said Frederick 0. Morehouse Of Mil
waukee. one of the sponsors for the
proposal. I'VE have TOO many other
pressing problems before us yet at
this convention. The movement is not
dead. but probably. because of its un-
timeliness, will not come before the

THE WILCOX STATEMENT

In order that the people of Alabama
may obtain the republican viewpoint OF
the national situation, the following
statement of the republican chairman,
issued to Washington correspondents,
is offered:
1.-THE desperate condition OF the DEM
ocratic party in the east. partially dis
closed in the elections in Maine and in
the more recent New Jersey primaries,
is thoroughly exposed by the chaotic
condition to which its affairs have been
reduced in Massachusetts. now plainly
evident If the state of affairs in the
Bay State is indicative of democratic de-
moralizaton on the Atlantic seaboard--
and there are not lacking Indications
that it is-the party of Cleveland and
Tilden is on the verge of a collapse more
complete than that which followed the
triumph of Organism in 1896. Republican
ascendency in Massachusetts began q
year ago, and there has been no doubt
since then that the state would be re-
publican in 1916. The prospect of re-
publican success this year is now brighter
than ever and the eve of election finds
a situation that promises not merely a
republican landslide but a democratic
rout.

A LONG TRENCH

The Regina is long trench of near
,ly three miles-about the same length
as the battlefront at Gettysburg.
Shortly after noon when there had
been the usual amount of shell fire
the landscape that anything unusual
was going to happen, number one
curtain fire was suddenly turned on
with the same effect on the ear as
when all the whistles of New York
start when the clock strikes IL on
New Years eve. The usual billowy
cloud of shell smoke, vigorously ex-
tensive in the cold air. ehurned and
whipped the length of Regina trench
with the accuracy of the sweeps of
death and the tempest of the infantry
who were in full possession of the
German trenches
Some Germans bottled from the first
ugly breath of that barricade. Six hun
dred left alive were taken prisoners.
The gunners are smiling at the stars
tonight which promise another fair
day tomorrow. The cold weather has
transformed the army into winter
chrysalis. The battalions are march
ing up the trenches all wearing their
overcoats The call is for more choc-
olate and more slices of bacon frizzling
in pans in the dugouts. The gunners
who were stripped for their work in
August now warm their hands on the
heated gun barrels. At night on the
field when fires are permitted the men
gather around the blaze of any wood
they can gather. Those digging new
trenches on the ground don't mind
how cold it is so long as the ground
is not soaked with rain.
