10 MOON CURATES
ASK PERMISSION TO.
ENLIST FOR SERVICE
RY AssocIATEp PRESS.

London, Jan. 27.-The petition
which over thousand curates in Lon
don are presenting to the Bishop of
London brings to fresh stage the
question as to whether clergyhnen Of
the established church (EpiscopaD
should be allowed to enlist. Accord
ing to the established rule of the
Anglican church, clergymen are for
hidden to serve in the fighting forces
except as chaplains or non-combat-
ants. The clergymen signing the pc
tition to the Bishop are of military
age and would have enlisted long ago,
they say, but for violating the law
of the church.
A discussion has been carried on in
the open letter columns of the news
papers for some time in this regard.
Opposition to enlistment by the Arch
bishop of Canterbury and the various
bishops rests on the theory that by
ordination the Clergyman is dedicated
for ever to Gods service, and that the
profession of a soldier is incompatible
with the priesthood. This finds some
support in the church and the laiety.
But the more popular point of view
is that there are wars often based on

There is a delightful combination

of the picture cast, and the characters

ment of the feature when Victor
Moore turns his face to the audience

ANOTHER SMACK IS
NUMBERED IN LIST
OF MISSING SHIPS
THE CLARA P. SEWELL, OF THE
WARREN FISH CO., WHICH HAS
BEEN OUT FORTY DAYS, IS
CAUSE OF APPREHENSION.

Unreported since she left here
forty days ago, the fishing smack
Clara P. Sewell, of the Warren Com
pany's feet, has been causing no lit
tie apprehension, for it was known
that this vessel was in about the
same position as was the smack Ida
S. Brooks, which herself was dis
masted and was saved only by good
seamanship, travelling at length two
hundred miles under a jury rig, but
making this port successfully.
Fishermen interested in the prob
able fate of the Sewell anxiously
questioned Captain Gordon, of the
smack Louise F. Harper, upon his ar
rival yesterday afternoon, as to
whether or not he had learned any
thing of the missing smack. Moth
ing at all. have not seen anything
of her." he replied, when asked about
it. That was about the first he knew
that the Sewell was missing, or at
least had been unreporbed.
Quite a number of vessels have
reached Pensacola from the snapper
banks, but none of them have thus
far reported the Sewell. It is thought
that, if she is still afoat, that she
met the fate of the Brooks, and was
dismasted In the same blow, about
Christmas time. There is hope still
held out that she may have been
blown out of her course, or that she
may have lost her rudder, and may
be yet reported.
There was hope held ont for the
mysteriously-lost Chicopee for fifty
days, and there are many who believe
that the Clara P. Sewell will turn up,
and if she does, there will be prob
ably exciting story told of the reason
for her delay.

righteousness, and self-sacrifice for a
righteous cause is one of the ideals
of the church.
''They tell their people every day"
writes the rector of Stockbridge In re-
gard to the clergy, "that every man
who offers himself as a soldier saves
the lives of many of his countrymen;
it is therefore necessary, if more and
more lives are to be saved, that more
and more men must offer. We are
also preaching that this is a right
GUS war"
He then asks:
"ShouId not the clergy lead in the
promotion of righteousness? And if
it is true that by the war the prin-
ciple of righteousness will be more
firmly established than ever before,
is not that work fit for a priest,
or even bishop?"
The clergymen signing the petition
address the following letter to the
Bishop of London:
We, the signatories of this letter,
believing that the needs of our coun-
try demand the most efficient utiliza-
ton of the nations resources, respect
fully request your lordship to-
/. Consider the possibility of so re-
organizing the work of the diocese as
will permit of the largest number Of
clergy being set free for whole or
part time for work directly in con-
nection with the war.
2. Invite all clergy of military age
to offer themselves for those
branches of national service for
which your lordship deems them suit
able, and to undertake whatever work
may, in accordance with this action,
be allotted them.
3. Consider if it be not possible to
waive the rule which at present pro-
hibits clergy from serving in the
combatant ranks.

THE CAR STRIKE SETTLEMENT

AS result of another long and
strenuous series of conferences, the
street car strike has definitely been
settled without resort to arbitration.
1t is great victory for the efforts
at mediation, another distinguished
success for the District government.
The street railway men are to get
an increase of cents per hour in
their wages. They are to have their
schedules so rearranged that every
man may be insured at least eight
hours per day of consecutive time for
rest; and, in case of further differ
ences, the Public Utilities Commits
sion is to be the mediation body.
This last is highly important deci-
sion, for it is voluntary recognition,
by both sides, of the dominating au-
thority of the commission even be-
yond the realms confided to the COM
missions control by the law.
Both the men and the company
managers have behaved admirably
throughout the troubles, and it is a
matter of congratulation to them and
to the community that they have got
together. 1t augurs especially well
for the future that the settlement
was reached without arbitration,
which would have been long, difficult,
and would probably have satisfied
neither side with its outcome.
Recognition of the street car
mems union was never a question in
issue, and it is not dealt with by the
adjustment which all parties have
now accepted. But it is agreed that
the men shall have a grievance COM
mi.tee that shall be received and
dealt with by the employers.

like defects have been remedied in
other navies. The United States has
permitted the coming of the dread
naught, the super-dreadnaught, and
the gigantic battle cruiser to render
the earlier and smaller and slower
vessels obsolete or at least obsoles-
cent. That was not necessary, il
Captain Sims is correct; the older
vessels might have been so changed
as to retain large measure of eff
cheney in them; and Mr.. Sims fatty
says it wasn't the fault Of Congress,
or of politics; it was the neglect Of
the naval authorities themselves.
Captain Sims, is, of course, in this
criticism, taking a center shot at his
old enemy, the general board, now
reorganized into a much more eff
cient instrument. In the olden days
the men who designed bad ships were
also the ones who must approve
plans to correct their defects; and be-
ing just as human as other people,
they were extremely liable to refuse
recognition to criticism of their own
work.
The Sims sort of testimony is
what the navy needs. II gets down
to brass nails, scorns to attempt hid
ing the truth, recognizes that our
naval SECRETS" are secrets only to
the extent that our own people know
less about their navy than they
ought, and insists on frank dealing
with the whole subject. Let the
Naval Committees have more Of the
same sort.

CAPTAIN SIMS ON THE FLEET

Captain w. S. Sims, of the navy,
has for many years been one of the
most vigorous critics of our mari
time establishment. He began as
very young officer, finding fault with
things around him; he had the eyes
to see, the sense to understand, and
the courage to give voice to conclu-
sions. When he was a junior officer
on the China station he tried to con-
vince his superiors that navy
would be useful in battle about in
proportion as il could shoot to hit;
and, as the American navy was at
that time very deficient in marks
manship, he devised a plan to i'm
prove it. Unable to get his super
iors to take his criticisms seriously,
he managed to get his case before
President Roosevelt, who at once be-
came interested in it. Roosevelt
placed the young officer in charge OF
target practice, and later made him
naval aide to the President.
In this latter capacity Sims, after
making good in the most spectacular
way in the realm of target work
presently found himself in feut
with the ancient machine" of thu
navy, the general board. He wa'
free and frank with criticism, anC
generally could make his case stick
After Roosevelt's patronage wa

Sims was somewhat in eclipse; Blu

ties made it impossible to keep hin

The Borland rider having been
killed by parliamentary process, its
author undertakes to substitute a
new proposition which most effec-
lively illustrates the illogical char
acter of the original proposal.
Tho rider proposed to exact Ia
per cent more service from the Gov
eminent. clerks without compensa-
ton. The substitute proposes to sub
tract 10 per cent from the clerical
force without rhyme or reason;
merely requiring those who remain
to do the work.
This is not merely an imposition
on the clerks, but also on the Gov
eminent, whose business could not be
done, and would have to suffer as a
result.
Craftsmanship of this sort sug-
gests the possibilities of parallel

Of excessive living costs. Suppose a
man weighing 200 pounds finds that
the cost of nourishing his body is too
high. Why not go to a surgeon and
have 10 per cent Of his person am

pounds at one end or the other, and
trust TO the remaining part of the

practical economies. Mr.. Borland

in its practical usefulness by trying
