 This action on the part of the French occupation authorities is in sharpest con- tradiction to the armistice conditions and represents the grossest violations of oh- ligstscns legally undertaken. The Ger man government makes the sharpest pro- test against this behavior"
 In response to pr. Dorten's notification of the proclama ton of a republic the German chancellor, Phillip Scheidemann. has ordered the prosecution of Dorten and the other members of his government for high treason and declared all of the or ficiaI acts of the new government vold

In opposing the measure Senator Reed denounced 1t as ''an outrage upo,e our form of government"

 Militant suffrage workers were criti cized sharply by Senator Reed, who de clared that they "gioriedr in tall sen Ltences imposed fof pieketing the White House and other acts.
 Senator Borah contended that rati. fication of the amendment by three fourths of the states would override ruthlessly -- by "Prussianismr h z termed 1.-the rights of few opposin' states.

 Police at New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg Cleveland, Newtonville, Mass, Boston and Paterson. N. J., were engaged in the widespread hunt. De- tectives were sent from Washington to the first two named cities in order to connect up operations
 The hat of the Washington bomb planter. purchased in Philadelphia, and other details indicated possibility that the consignment of explosives had been sent out from there.
 Another connecting link in the view of authorities here was the similarity of the anarchistic handbills found near cities.
 Government experts on explosives after surveying the site of the explo- sion here and the partially demolished dwelling, came to the conclusion that two separate bombs exploded probably when the man carrying them tripped over a stone step at the entrance.
 CONGRESS WAKES UP
 In both houses of Congress members began the preparation of measures providing new and severe penalties for perpetrators of such crime. References to the outrages were made during de- bate in both houses

 SUFFRAGE MEASURE
Opponents Prevent Final Action in Senate Tester day by Prolonged Debate,
 But Adoption of Resolu-
 tion Today Seems Assured
By Associated Pres.

Washington, June 3.-Final action in the Senate on the House resolution for submis- sion of the Susan B. Anthony woman suffrage constitutional amendment was prevented to- day by debate principally by suffrage opponents, and by dis cussion of the peace treaty. The resolution was made the sun- finished business and it is believed tha. before adjournment tomorrow the last apparently assured.
 When managers of the resolution which was adopted by the House two weeks ago, so4 to se, gave up hope of vote today, Chairman Watson of the Senate woman suffrage committee an nounced that he would insist upon holding the Senate in session, tomorrow until the final vote was reached
 Senator Watson spoke less than
 minute in support of the reso-
 iutfon. Senator Lenroot, republican
 of Winconsin, niso urged it's ndop-
 tion. Senators Reed of Mfssiuri and

 and Borah, republican, of Idaho.

 against the measure.

An amendment by Sen ator Underwood left pending when the Senate adjourned would pRnvide thai popular state conventions instead oi state legisla lures should act on ths proposed addition to the constitution.

The amounts are interesting in
themselves. But the total, in excess
of $3o0,o0o, for single years work,
is probably unrivalled anywhere in the

membered that the year was q year
of denial-and the experience of clergy
churches were the first to be denied.
There was no great building project,
no special drive for a large sum. 1t
simply was the response Of the people
of st. Thomas's to the ministry of
their rector. Some will say that, all
things considered, it represents moth
ing like the self sacrifice Of the people
OF the smaller churches. They will
point to the membership Of St.
Thomas's and recall that it is drawn
from the richest homes in the com
mnunlty. This naturally will lead to
the question, What is done with the
vast sums raised by DR.. STRESS peo-
pie?
One reads the year book and finds
items like these: Groceries. Fl sh. milk.
butter, coal and oil. The truth dawns
that the popular conception of St.
Ihomas's parish is misconception.
The church may be a fashionable one
IN that it draws its membership from
the wealthy and that it has a most de-
slrable location on Fifth Avenue, but
the fashion of its ministry is after the
first principles of the Christian
Church. The parish activities thunder
an affirmative to the question, "Am
my brothers keeper 2"
Parish Life Stimulated
But what has all this to do with the
rector? 1t is an axiom Of church &C

this is exemplified in st. Thomas's

Diagnostic Hospital Unique
First Institution of Its Kind To

Physicians from all over the coun-
try are expected to attend the opening
of the New York Diagnostic Hospital
at 125 West Seventy second Street
some time in May. The institution.
made possible through fund raised
by the physicians, will be the first of
its kind in the country.
The clinics will be for diagnoses only
and Will accommodate about 500 pa
tients daily. According TO Dr. NJ
Joseph Mandelbaum. president of the
New York Dlagnostic Society, the fees
charged will be commensurate with the
patients salaries. The fee will be less
for complete collaborative diagnosis,
including X-ray. than is charged by
one specialist for one form of treat
ment.
