RADICAL Change in
CONFERENCE PLAN
Many Years. Issue Setled-NeW
Method to Be Followed

A radical departure in conference
arrangements, changing the plan
operative for the seventy years OF the
history of the body, was made by vote
Of the ministers assent led last even
ing. The conference Is to be made
self sustaining and, commencing next
wear the expense will be borne by
the conference as a whole, either by
assessm ent of churches on a basis of
percentage of the pastors salary, or
some other method. If it is desired
the delegates attending will be enter
tanned in hotels. The resolution
adopted does not preclude members OF
the churches from extending their
hospitality. Commencing next year the
new method will be operative, the
matter being referred to a committee
of three on the conference program
and three members to be appointed
by the bishop. The resolution for the
change provoked discussion that con-
tinued for over an hour. The Rev. A.

Ministers Discuss Same Topic.
While the matter was up for dis
cusslon by the laymen it was being
discussed by the ministers on the OPP
posite side of the street Executive
Secretary Robinson explained that
money is from time to time advanced
to help churches and when the mis-
sion society finds it necessary to sell
the churches accrued indie btedness is
taken from the receipts of the sale.
1t rarely happen that there is suf-
ticient left with which to make full
endorsement.
The association adopted a vote Of
thanks to the South Congregational
church for the use of the edifice for
the meeting and contributed IS to
the seton of the church.
A resolution offered had for its
purpose the sending of a petition to
President Wilson, asking him to de-
clare a special holiday of fasting and
prayer for the success of the allies.
This was reported unfavorably by the
resolutions committee.
If it is later deemed advisa BILE a
special meeting will be called for the
sole purpose of discussing the world
crisis and the church situation.
Hearty endorsement of the pur-
poses and ideals Of this country In
the world war and a pledge of the
energetic support and devotion of tn 9
members was adopted Hope was ex-
pressed for the successful termina-
ton of the conflict for the church,
for civilization and for the church.
The association approved the sug-
gestion of the committee on finances
which favored the adoption of the

Where Does the Money Go?

IF Methodsm is lost in New York
1t will be lasting disgrace to Metho-
dism in the United States" said a
young speaker at the Laymens asso-
citation meeting. He opposed an I'M
favorable report of the committee on
resolutions, which had before it a
resolution to instruct the New York
city society if it decided to close
Trinity Methodist church to endow a
fund for the establishment Of a new
church. The speaker said there are
now $50 members in the church and
if it is decided to close the editice
they will be lost to the church.
What does the society do with the
money 1t receives from the sale Of
the churches? asked another speak
err. He said he knew of a church in
Bronxville being sold for $4,000 and
a portable church was provided in
another locality and now the church
is to receive a "measly" $500. An.
other speaker, not a member of the
association asked for the privilege Of
the floor and he, too, put the ques-
ton: what becomes of money!"
The chairman Of the resolutions
committee explained that the matter
is not one for consideration at the
Laymen's association meeting and the

FURTHER GERMAN
 TR|CKERY SHOWN
Took Ukraine Away From the Bought and Paid For Bolshe- vik GOvernment-Are COntin- ually Plotting.

Washington, Sept 17.-German trickery in breaking the Ukraine away from the bought-and- paid-f for Bolshevik government, plots against. loyal Russian soldiers and their lead CTS to insure complete German sway after the false peace conference at Brest-Litovsk, and further evidence of the precautions of the Teutons against Bolshevik preaching in their own ranks, are shown in today's in- stallment of secret documents from Russia made public by the United States government.
 Communications written in January disclose that the Bolsheviki were fully informed of what the Germans were doing in the Ukraine, and knew that peace treaties with the Ukraine and Roumania were coming They also learned quickly enough that Ger Hhdlly was ulcpoSilS ol tHcli uopSS lp see their revolutionary propaganda take root on German soil.
 Notes from the German intelli- gence service to Trotsky, the commis- sioner of foreign affairs, show first that a Turk with Russian passport was sent to Petrograd to keep watch over the Russian commander in chief and that a month afterward, late in February, removal of the commander in chief. General Bonch Bruevick, was demanded. Bruevick. whose con- tinuance in the position was "particu- larly no longer desirable" to the Germans, was turned out and General Parski, named by the German intel ligence service, was appointed to command the Petrograd district.
 Another note from the intelligence service complains that the agents sent to kill Generals kaledlne, Bog aevsky and AleXietf were cowardly, nonenterprising people" This same document shows that as long ago as December. 1917, former German pris- oners of war were being dressed in Russian uniforms to fight loyal Rus sian soldiers.
 The significance of the document is discussed in notes by Edgar Sisson, who brought the documents out of Russia for the committee on public information.

HERS ACTIVE ON
 LORRAINE FRONT
, ,,oricans Bomb All AirdrOmes A% pahind the German Lines Germans May Retreat Behind tbe Hindenburg Line.

w;.h tbe American Army on the | orraine Front, Sept. 17.-Enemy aerial activity has shown a decided ,nu;ro up in the past "A hours, part l.. hocause of the aggressiveness of ,mor;can hiers and partly because all airdrOmes behind the German lines have been greatly damaged in the per .stant bombardment they have under gone.
 Allied cooperation in bombing op- ..o+;ors has been notable contribu- inn to the success of the offensive. French patrols yesterday engaged Tn II combats, bringing down one plane and four observation balloons. The American pursuit group had six com hats sending down three planes. Reconnaissance machines took photo rraphs and directed artillery fire, Bombing planes dropped more than Il tons of bombs on Longuey. Dom mercy and Baroncourt and two tons on Conhans and Audun Observers reported the damage at Corflans was especially heavy All enemy centers in this section have been seriously damaged in the past few days. | An American patrol, in raid made this morning in the general region of Haumont, northwest of Thiacourt, captured fine non-commissioned of fters and killed seven other non-com- missioned officers.
 Evidence is accommodating that the enemy intends withdrawing behind the Hndenburg line in Lorraine, if he is pressed any further. He is burning towns along the Moselle. lh addition to the towns along the NOselle which would fall into Ameri- can hands should the enemy withdraw behind the Hindenburg line and which he is burning, other fires have been started by the Germans. The towns Ol Don Martin and La Chaussee, both on the Hindenbmg line, are in flames

PEACE OFFENSIVE
 A CLOSED INCIDENT
President Wilson's Rejection Sets Record for Brevity and Specialization is Widely Com mended.

Washington, Sept. l7.-Austria'S peace offensive is closed incident so far as the American government is concerned.
 Secretary Lansing sent to the Swe | dish minister today the note authOriz- ed last night by President Wilson, fatly rejecting in two short sentences the proposal of the Austro- Hungarian government for secret and non-b bind ing peace discussions. It was started on the cables at once for transmission to Vienna by the foreign office at | Stockholm.
 The presidents action, including the record breaking brevity of the reply and the promptness with which it was delivered, drew expressions of approval during the day everywhere | in Washington Similar responses from the other nations at war with Germany are expected to follow quickly.
 In the Senate Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican floor lead CT, and the ranking minority member of the foreign relations committed, voiced the feelings of Congress in a prepared speech heartily approving the presidents course as both wise and right. The United States, the senator said, can talk peace only to Germany beaten and deprived of power further to harm a wronged world. He was followed by Senator McCumber of North Dakota, Repub- ican. and Senator Thomas of Colo rado, Democrat, with similar expres- sions. On the House side Representa- tive Foss of Ohio, chairman of the Republican congressional committee, spoke in approval, declaring that the quick reply might jar upon diplo- matic ears. but is justified as re- buke to the double dealing of our enemy"
 Unequivocal rejection of the Aus trian offer from all the allies will be in accordance with the general policy which has governed the entente pow CTS and America in meeting the Ger man peace offensive. Prompt action is regarded as the surest means of defeating the underlying purpose of the Central powers to shake the al- lies and develop fatal weaknesses by the encouragement of the expression of the individual aims and views of the separate states.

COTTON RALLIES 6O
 POINTS AT CLOSE
Early Declines Are Followed by Sharp Advances at New York on Trade Buying and Bullish Spot AdviceS.

New York, Sept. 17.-Slight early declines were followed by sharp raj lies in the cotton market today or trade buying and bullish spot ad- vices. The general list closed steady at net advance of 50 to SO points. > The failure of the weather map to show any indication of the frosts pre- dicted for the Southwest and pros poets for rising temperatures led to scattering liquidation at the start. The comparatively light offerings were readily absorbed and the mar ket soon turned firmer on the appear ance of buying for both domestic and foreign trade interests. The absence of hedge selling in any important vol ume also promoted covering as ind- eating firmness in Southern spot mar kets.
 Rumors that government buyers were in the Southern spot markets were denied, but Southern advices re ported very small offerings of the better grades, with holders asking high basis also on the lower grades.
 Reports of increasing opposition to price-fxing also reached the trade from Washington.
 Spot cotton quiet; middling 35,40c.

 The administration now is watching for the next move of the enemy, for it is not believed that they will aban- don their efforts.
 It has been suggested that, denied unlimited fields of secret discussions of war isues, Austria may attempt coup by assenting to a restriction of the discussion to the principles laid down by President Wilson as the only possible basis of peace.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
 RICO MMENO SMITH
WILL HAVE THE PRESTIGE OF v THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE
 IN THE PRIMARIES.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, July 24.- Subsequent to recommending a full state ticket headed by Alfred E. Smith, of New York, democrats of the state informal convention today paved the way for Tprty harmony after the primaries.
 As a result of the resolution they faced a three cornered primary fight. unless one or 10th of the announced independent democratic candidates, William Church Osborne and Will liam Randolph Hearst, withdraws his candidacy
 Both have signified their intention of remaining in the contest until the votes are counted on primary night.
 The movement looking to party harmony was led by former Judge Samuel Seabury, who was respon- sible for the only disrordant notes of the convention after Mir. Smith had been endorsed. IIe pressed to unanimous passage his motion that if MT. Smith were successful in the primaries it would be the sense cl the convention that the New Yorker receive the united support of the party in the election campaign.
 AS was the case yesterday when Judge Seabury threw a bombshell into the proceedings by forcing the passage of anti "trlcklers" resolu tion, so today confusion followed his appearance on the floor. Saying that although he had the highest respect for MT. Smith personally he wished to support a candidate free from amy possible influence by Tammany Hall or William Randolph Hearst, he cast his half vote for Mir Osborne
 That was the only time MT Hearst's name was mentioned pup licly in the entire convention pro ceedings.
