Prayers for President Cut Out
Ofthe Episcopal Church Service

The change, which was adopted at
the suggestion of the commission on
prayer book, must be approved by
the house of bishop and BY the next
general convention before it can be-
come effective.
Skillful parliamentary manauvering
saved the resolution admitting women
to membership in the house of dep
uties from being killed by an adverse
committee report. The committee to
which the resolution introduced by
RobertNH. Gardner of Maine, was re-
ferred and reported the proposal was
inexpedient at this time. Mr.. Gard
ner, however, before the committee
report was acted on made a motion
placing the original resolution on the
calendar, thus giving it chance for
discussion in the house. He explained
that woman is no longer chattel
as she was regarded 1900 years ago
when the church was founded.
Cognizance of the European war
war taken in both houses Of the con-
vention today. From the house Of
bishops came the announcement that
the pastoral letter this year will con-
tain message to the COMMITMENTS
Of the church "in view Of the present
world crisis"
Announcer ent was made from the
house of bishops tonight that Rev

Study the Growing
Of Wheat Closely

Fl Paso, Tex, Oct. 18. Wheat can
be grow more proftably by dry farm
ing methods than by irrigated farm
ing, DR.. F. S. Harris, director of the

vIsoouNT GREY SAYS THIS
Replies in House Of Lords to
Question Concerning Ac-
tivities Of Diver.
AMERICAN pc-rcY SCORED

London, Oct .l7.-The British gov
ernment will not make any official
representation to the United States
concerning the German submarine
U-s3, pending an announcement Of its
attitude by the American govern
ment, said Viscount Grey, secretary
Of state for foreign affairs, in the
House Of Lords today.
In reply to question concerning
the attitude Of the United States
toward British patrols, Viscount Grey
said that the United States admitted
the British ships were not exceeding
their legal rights under international
law, but that the American govern
ment complained of their presence on
the ground of 5the irritation which
the continued presence of belligerent
warships off the coast of the United
States naturally caused in q neutral
country. He declared that the United
States had requested Great Britain
very emphatically not to patrol off
its coast, and said that instructions
were sent to the British ships there
to avoid causing any unnecessary ir-
ritation and to comply as far as pos-
sible with the American request.
Matter for United States Only.
with regard to the U-53," the
foreign secretary continued, I'VE do
not know what steps were taken by
the United States for patrolling its
waters, or in regard to its coming
into port and securing information
from newspapers. We do not know
whether 1t Is true that American
warships got out Of the submarines
way. That is matter for the Ameri-
con government only and we assume
that government is making full in
quiries. We also assume it will an
ncance its attitude in due course.
Pending that, we do not propose to
make any official representation on
the subject Of the submarine"
The question concerning the Ger
man submarine raid in American
waters was raised by Baron Beres-
ford, former commander of the
British home feet, and Earl Grey,
former governor general Of Canada.
Baron Beresford asked whether
Bfitish cruisers were removed from
American waters owing to American
objections, and If 50, what steps the
government proposed for the protec-
tion of British vessels. He criticised
the submarine reply as at least curt,
ard said the American ideas Of 2neu-
trality were curious.
Grey's Question.
Earl Grey wanted an assurance that
| the report was untrue that American
commanders of destroyers had ac-
ceded to the request OF the German
commander to clear out of the way
and give him room to blow up ships.

ALLIES LAND men
IN GREEK CAPITAL
Thousands Parade Athens
Cheering for Constantine
and Chanting National
Anthem.
KING REVIEWS SAILORS

Athens (Via London), Oct. III
Marines from the ships of the entente
powers to the number of about 1000
have been landed at Piraeus and have
occupied the railway station at Pirae-
US and several buildings in Athens.
Immediately this became known the
streets of Athens swarmed with
Greeks frantically cheering King
Constantine and chanting the Greek
national anthem. Great crowds
marched through the streets, thou
sands gathering in the neighborhood
of the postoffice square.
The war minister, General Dracos,
ordered out Greek troops and marines
to guard every approach to the square
and in order to prevent any clash be-
tween Greek civilians and the French,
who occupied that section, establish
ing complete Gordon about the
French and taking all precautions 10
avoid any incident or accident capable
of starting strife.
Fate of Greece at Stake.
1t is impossible to predict whether
trouble can be prevented throughout
the night. The Greek government is
fully alive to the fact that Greece's
fate hangs on the prevention of fur
ther measures on the part of the
French commander.
Earlier in the day review by King
Constantine of the sailors belonging
to the vessels of the Greek navy,
which were taken possession of by the
entente allies, was made the occasion
of an immense royalist demonstration,
crowds parading the streets hauling
life-size portraits of the sovereign and
wildly cheering for the monarch.
Admiral Damianos, minister of
marine, read an order of the day,
praising the sailors and compliment
ing them on their conduct under most
trying circumstances.
King Addresses Officers.
Z After the ceremony the king as
sembled the officers about him and
addressed them personally, expressing
pride that they had scorned offers of
money and honors and had remained
faithful to their oath to their country.
He gave his word that he would stand
by them to the end against whatever
consequences their loyalty might en-
tail.

White Slave Charge in Kansas

North Platte, Neb., Oct. 17-(Spe-
cial.)-Sheriff Krisle Of Meade, Kan,
has left for Kansas, taking William
Robinson, 81 years Of age, and To-
year-old Nina Haley. Robinson and
the Haley girl left Fowler, Kan, sew
eral weeks ago. At Hershey, west of

couple for the, Kansas officers. The
pair were arrested in Hershey, where
they were living as Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson. ~ q !.
The girl told Mrs. Salisbury that
Robinson had told her he was a rich
gambler. She said that it was his

of ease that induced her to leave her
home on the farm near Fowler to go
with him. Robinson will probably

MAKES TALK IN SIOUX CITY

Mitchell, S. D., Oct. l7.-Charles
Hughes today assailed the .-.linistra-
ton for the Underwood tariff, which
he declared to be inadcqa..e for the
agricultural interests of the nation.
Mr.. Hughes poke before a crowd Of
farmers, many Of whom had come
from miles around to hear him in
the Corn palace here, saying in part:
Our opponents reaffirm in their
platform the principle OF tariff for
revenue only and endorse the Under
wood act" The nominee read the
democratic plank in this connection,
quoting the phrase applying to the
tariff as providing sufficient revenue
for economical administration"
Quotes Some Figures.
"Now, let US look at the figures Of
imports and of revenue" Mr.. Hughes
continued. I'm the fiscal year ending
June 30,. 1918, under the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, our imports were 81, 100000, 900
and our tariff revenue was $4,000
600. In the fiscal year ending June
80, 1916, under the Underwood tariff,
our imports had increased to $2,1o7,-
100000, but our tariff revenues had
fallen to $212,0O0,000.
"Think of thatl A vast increase in
imports and a vast decrease in rev.
enue.< Our opponents furnished
neither economy of administration nor
the revenue for an economical admin
istration.
Must Protect American Interests.
"We must have adequate govern
mental policies for maintaining con-
tr9l and securing the advantage of our
markets. We must have protection
of American agricultural interests.
Otherwise our plans of departmental
regulation will be mere barren forms.
Our opponents arraigned the repub-
lican party for extravaganza and then
proceeded to make new American
record for extravaganza for them
selves. Now we propose economical
administration of government. We
propose that public moneys shalt not
be spent to pay political obligations,
that streams without water shall not
be developed for commerce, that there
shall be no more pork barrel legisla-
tion.

BERLIN WIRELESS REPORT
Dispatch Says Bravery of
Kaiser's Men in Big Battle
Most Remarkable.
PRAISE FOR THEIR ENEMIES

Berlin, Oct. H.-(By Wireless to
Sayvilie. "Details of report about
the recent fighting on the Somme
front show that the attacks between
October 9 and IS are to e reckoned
among the greatest actions Of the
whole Somme battle" says the Over
seas News Agency. THE objectives
of these great French and British et-
forts were Bapaume and Peronne.
Moreover numerous hostile attacks
of violence were directed against the
front from Courcelette to st. Pierre
Vast wood, north of the Somme, and
between Fresnes and Mazancourt,
and against Chaulnes, south OF the
river. OF these engagements those
north of the Somme were most Sc
we're.
"October 9, 10 and II the main
centers Of combat were north OF
Thiepval, north of Courcelette, near
Sailiy-Saillise1, and in the vicinity of
the St. Pierre Vaast wood. October
IL a great and we'll co-ordinated at
tack was launched over the whole
front from Courcelette to Bouchsves-
mes" Speaking of the attacks Octo-
Der IL, the news agency says:
"Thea defenders, of the Somirie
front had thought it impossible that
the violence Of the artillery fire in
the great attack early in October
Gould be exceeded, but nevertheless
even this was surpassed. In spite OF
the hail of iron, the British and
French did not succeed in reducing
the German positions to such an ex-
tent that they gould be stormed.
French and British infantry in COM
)pact waves charged the German posi-
tions. but were speedily brought to a
standstill by the German curtain OF
fire. Notwithstanding their heavy
losses, they attempted one attack
after another. Near Sailly-Saillisei
six charges were made. All failed
completely, with the heaviest losses
+: for the enemy. German infantry lett
their shelters and, standing in the
open, shot down the enemy columns
with rifles and machine guns"
The effect Of the German flre on
the French and British, the news
agency says, ..was simply shocking.
The account continues:
"The Germans had not lost their
energy and will, notwithstanding the
heaviest shelling,, lack of sleep and
the impossibility Of obtaining suffi-
Gent food on account Of interruption
to communications:
> "The enemy displayed tenacity, but
more remarkable was the bravery OF
the Germans, who not only had to
defend positions against superior
numbers, but were called On to make
counter attacks and expel the enemy,
wherever he succeeded in gaining a
foothold in the German line"
Whole columns Of French and Brit
ish were literally moved down by the
German fire, tn: news agency says,
at places where the fighting was
fercest.

deputies of the general convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal church to-

prayers for the president of the
United States from the morning and

reference to long life, health. pros
