an exhortation, then saying concluding
prayers and the benedictIon
1t is openly talked among members
of the conference that Dr. James f.
Dickey, pastor of the First Methodist
church of Atlanta, sacrificed his almost
certain chance of being elected bishop
through his vote Tuesday morning to
sustain the college of bishops in it's
veto of the measure to extend laity
rights to women.
Previous to the vote the election of
DR.. Dickey was generally conceded to
be certainty However, when the con-
ference, by an overwhelming majority,
went on record as opposed to the Epis-
copal veto, he was one of only about a
dozen delegates who sided against the
majority. Many of his supporters
frankly and openly admit that, at the
last minute. they switched because DR..
Dickey sided with the college of bish-
ops.
DR.. Dickey is known as a man of very
firm convictions and his friends say
that he fully realized, before his vote
was cast, that his attitude would result
in his defeat.
Committee Answers Criticism
The committee on missions. in q re-
port submitted to the conference, an
swered the criticism directed against
the Episcopal address.
In this address the college of bishops
asserted that only the general confer
ence could determine the number and
boundaries of annual conferences and
further stated that the board of mis-
sions was guilty of illegal and uncon-
stitutional action in attempting to do
so in Mexico.
The committee report states that
after careful consideration, no record
discloses the fact that the board of mis-
sions had, at any time. undertaken to
determine any boundary lines of any
conference in Mexico or elsewhere, but
that, in all of the meetings, when the
question was raised, the board had en-
crossed upon it's minutes the state
ment that it had no authority to do so.
Regret was expressed over the Epis-
copal criticism, charging the board with
illegal and unconstitutional action"
especially in view of the fact that the
bishops themselves form a large part
of the board.
The statement is made that if the
college of bishops has the authority to
control the actions of the boards of
which they are members. then it will
be seen that the authority of a part of
a board is superior to the authority of
the whole board.
The conference heard an address by
Dr. w. /. Haven, of New York, execu-
tive secretary of the American Bible
society, who told of the Bible work
among soldiers and sailors; also an ad-
dress by w. ]. Wall, fraternal delegate
from the African Methodist Episcopal
Zion church.

Referring to the statement made by
Walter Runciman, formerly president

asked for a bigger Alsace-Lorraine than
that of 1870. Mr.. Balfour said there was

Mr. Balfour said the conversations
which CASTOR Doumerglue, formerly
French premier and foreign minister
had with the Russian emperor in 1916
regarding a bigger Alsace-Lorraine,
which France would demand. were not
known to Great Britain until very much
later. They had no international bearing
he said, and didn't pledge Great Britain.
The British govednment never gave
the least announcement to any such
notion An extended Alsace-Lorraine. the
speaker declared, was not a subject
which should ever be contemplated seri-
ously and he did not think it ever was
a fixed part of the foreign policy of
the French government for any length
OF time. The foreign minister also said
the pourparlers over the Austrian en-
peror's letter were not interfered with
by the demand OF France for an ex-
tension of territory beyond her bound

now or at any time. he added. that

MR.. AYRES KNEW BY EXPERT
ENCE.

Mr.. Steven B. Ayres, a good roads
enthusiast, who measures up about
FAX, and mas been spending the win
ter at Tarpon Springs, called in to
see us on his way north last week.
Mr.. Ayres travels a great deal while
in the state each winter, and knows
the roads about as well as any man
who lives here. He says Florida has
about as large a proportion of good
ones as any state in the South, but
couldn't help but add that those "al-
legged bridges" between Hastings and
Bunnell ought to have something done
to them.
He's right-they are absolutely
fierce. The bridges themselves are
very good, but the roads along there
are mighty good and a driver gets to
going up to thirty-fve miles mighty
easy and is just laying back and en-
joying himself, when BUMP! he hits
one of those hollows with boards
across it, and he either hits the top
or jambs himself against the wheel,
and sure does slow down thereafter

u. S. ASSURES GREECE HER

The following is the text of a state
ment issued in Athens by the America
minister to Greece:
The people of the United States
view with admiration the unself-
ishness and courage with which
the Greek people, animated by
that love of liberty and devotion
to right which they have inherited
from long line of heroic ances-
tors, are fighting to preserve the
freedom for which their patriotic
forefathers valiantly fought.
Claiming similar ideals and
moved by the same principles of
right and justice the government
and people of the United States
are determined that the fullest
possible measure of assistance
shall be rendered to Greece, and
that her integrity shall be pre-
served and her rights secured in
any final negotiations for peace
that shall take place.

IDEAS.
(By Roger w. Babson.)

(By Roger w. BabSon.)
A little more than 100 years ago, the
last real world war was at its height.
Instead of Germany trying to conquer
Europe, it was France under the lead
ership of Napoleon, which was trying
to rule the world. Yes; then England
and the other great nations were fight
ing Napoleon as we are now fighting
the kaiser.
Napoleon had been pretty successful
in smashing Europe and stood on the
shore of northern France, near where
our own troops are today, waiting for
a wind to take his troops to England.
In those days England was still the
goal, as she is today; but armies then
had to depend on sailing ships and it
was impossible to cross the English
channel from France except with a
southerly breeze.
An American named Fulton, who
had been ridiculed by his own people
here at home, went to France at that
time and presented an idea to great
general. He took with him model of
a steamboat. Napoleon looked at it,
shrugged his shoulders, and cast it
aside, saying: eff it were possible to
build a ship to go without sails, my
generals would have invented it before
this"
Hence, Robert Fulton, broken heart
ed, was obliged to return to New York
and wait until the American people
were willing to give him a hearing.
Yes; it was some time before he was
allowed to build his ''crazy steam
boat" on the Hudson river, which
finally made him world-famous. In
the meantime Napoleon, unable to get
to England, was obliged to fight it out
at Waterloo, where he was bitterly de-
feated.
| often wonder if many of us en-
ployers are not like Napoleon when
one OF our own people comes to us
with new idea. How many of us take
pains to encourage and listen to those
who come to us? And yet some one
tomorrow may bring us great idea.
Will we take the trouble to listen?
Let us remember how the great gener-
al, Napoleon, was brought to his de-
feat, largely because he failed to lis
ten to the American inventor, Fulton.
Whatever we employers do, let no
reader forget Fulton. Whether or not
your employer listens to you. stick to
your idea just the same. If Fulton
hadn't stuck-to his there would be no
steamboat today. If Marconi hadn't
been full of courage there wouldn't
have been any wireless today. If
Langley and Wright hadn't shut their
eyes to laughter and derision, there
would be no flying machines today. If
Lake had not been willing to be jeered

Queer, isn't it? A subscription for

Millions Of bushels of potatoes
should be eaten within the next few

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

While, no announcement has been
made by any of the three members
constituting the county school board,
it is understood that the present board
is willing to serve the county again in
this capacity.
The good work of this board in the
past years and the present standing of
Pinellas county schools ought to in
sure that these men be reelected
without opposition.
Next year will doubtless be critical
one for the schools, in that there will
be a shortage of teachers, financial
troubles and other abnormal condi-
lions and it is doubtless going to re-
quire lot of skill and good work to
keep the schools up to their present
standard, and it would seem the part
of good judgment to continue in office
the men who have had the benefit of
five or six years Of experience and
who have the situation well in hand.
1t is sacrifice for any man to serve
on the school board, as there is no pay
attached to the position, and Mr..
Lowe, Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Blocker
should have the unanimous endorse
ment of the voters of Pinellas county.
