PREsBYTERIANs ADMIT

EEehDy leIlAub OF New YORK admit the
seriousness OF a situation created by
action Of Presbyterians OF Cincinnati
in adopting an overture to the general
assembly Of both of them, meeting at
Atlantic City on May Is, to GUST New
York from the Presbyterian church.
IL Is said that never before has one
presbytery taken such step against
another one. The cause is the act Of
New York, often repeated, in receiv-
ing graduates OF Union Theological
seminary, New York, into membership
and ordaining them as Presbyterian
ministers, whom Cincinnati Presby-
terians, together with others, hold to
be unsound in the Presbyterian faith.
II Is further said that in the history
Of the Presbyterian church, no presby-
terry has even been thrown out for any
cause. The General assembly has sew
eral times I'm recent years adopted
warning resolutions. worded in general
terms but aimed at New York, that
they must be more careful to observe
the Westminster standards when ex-
aiming candidates for the ministry
There is now talk in New York and in
some other presbyteries to the effect
that present conditions are not unlike
those dividing the old and new schools
sixty years or so ago.
There is said to be a powerful ele-
ment in the middle west and on the
Pacific coast which is determined that
both New York presbytery take its
views OF orthodoxy from this element
and that the question Of the title to
some Of the endowment funds held by
Union seminary be submitted to the
courts. so far as can be learned, no
graver situation has obtained since the
troubles over the famous Briggs case,
and the withdrawal OF Union seminary
from the Presbyterian church.

WHEN THE CANAL IS OPEN
Will Change Course Of Freight Traffic
Between Europe and Valparaiso,
Austria and New Zealand.

The Hansa, the organ of the Ham,
burg ship owners, after consideration
of the probable effect OF the opening
of the Panama canal upon steamship
routes, states that after the month OF
June, 1918, should the canal be opened
to navigation at that time, steamers
proceeding from Europe to San Fran.
cisco will no longer go via Cape Horn,
route of 1881 sea miles, but will
save $500 sea miles via the canal
route. Steamers proceeding from
Montreal to Sydney now cover 1850
sea miles, but in the future will be
able to do SO over route Of 1882 sea
miles.
1t Is difficult to predict the effect
OF the canal upon freight traffic be-
tween Europe and Valparaiso, the
Cape Horn route being only 2,1OO
miles longer than the canal route.
Passenger ships probably will pass
through the canal, serving the east
coast of South America by means OF
auxiliary ships sailing from West In.
dian ports.
Trade between Europe and Japan
will not be Influenced by the canal, as
the Panama route will be 1000 miles
longer than the one now followed
From New York to Shanghai, on the
other hand, the difference in favor Of
the canal will be 1,400 sea miles. The
present route from Europe to Aus
tralia is 500 miles longer than the
| route via the canal, which Is scarcely
enough to threaten any great change
| 1t is assumed that a part Of the bust
ness from New Zealand to Europe
| which today comes via Cape Horn
! will pass through the canal hereafter
saving 1000 sea miles. The cana
| route will be selected also by passen
gers who wish to avoid the rough ant
stormy rounding OF Cape Horn. Tn
chief part of the steadily increasing
business between New York and Aus
tralia and New Zealand should there
fore proceed via the canal rathe
than by the Cape of Good Hope, say
ing 1900 miles.

claims that a study Of former types
