st. Louis. Oct. 21.--The establish
ment OF mutual agreement among
the nations OF the western hemisphere,
similar to the non armament agree
ment between the United States and
Canada, Is urged In a report to the
house OF deputies Of the Protestant
Episcopal convention by committee
headed by Rev. Henry Lubbock, of
New York. In the report II Is said:
by agreement armament on the
great lakes has been limited and tho
border has been unfortlfied for 100
years and our relations with our
northern neighbors are increasingly
cordial, We are part of Pan
American union with our Latin Ameri-
can neighbors. This extends the CO.
operate idea over the whole western
hemisphere and makes for peace.
These are practical Sgestions for the
organization of mankind in the inter.
ests of the normal condition OF peace"
The committee said similar agree
ment on the part OF European nations
was possibility. Delegates to the
general convention and the women's
auxiliary were guests this afternoon
at a reception at the Missouri botani-
cal garden. park and garden given
to the city by the late Henry Shaw.
Divorce Question W Again.
Rev. ID. Parks, of New York, brought
up the divorce question in the house Of
deputies again by introducing resolu-
ton for the elimination of the excep-
tions to the canon prohibiting the re-
marriage Of divorced persons. This res-
olution was referred to the committee
on canon. which will report at the 1919
general convention.
This action means that the divorce
question will come UP for consideration
at the 1919 meeting. The house Of dep
| uties today concurred with the house OF
bishops in selecting Detroit for the next
meeting place.
