PRESBYTERIANSE END
Their ASSEMBLY
Church Suffrage Will be In
vestigatcd by Committee
to Report Next Year
OPPOSE SHORT CUTS
TO THE MINISTRY

ST. LOUIS. May 24-The General AS
sembly Of the Presbyterian Church
closed its annual meeting yesterday,
after postponlng final action on the
question Of granting church suffrage to
women until the 1920 convention. Phil
adelphla was awarded the 1920 conyen-
ton, which viii bring COO delegates to
that city.
The commissioners adopted a resolu-
tlon OF DR.. Robert s. Ingles, Of Newark
n. J., expressing sympathy for fellow
Presbyterians in Ireland. The resoh-
tion asked that II Congress and Ameri-
can representatives at the Peace Con
ference take any action on the inde-
pendence OF Ireland in regard to racial
self determination, the same consdera-
tion be given 10 Ulster as a part OF Ire
land that Is given 10 Ireland as part
Of the United Kingdom.
The question Of church suffrage for
women was temporarily settled by
adoption, in an amended form, OF The
minority report Of the committee which
investigated the issue. This amended
report recommended that the question
be submitted TO a special committee ap-
pointed by the moderator. This com
mittee, consisting OF three ministers
and two laymen, will consider the issue
during the coming year and make It's
recommendations at the next annual
meeting
Resolutions asking that women be
given recognition in the conduct of
church affairs were submitted TO the
assembly at the beginning OF the meet
ing. more than a week ago.
In its original form the minority re-
port suggested that two women be
placed on the committee TO consider
The question. The amendment leaving
out this recommendation was introduc-
ed when It was found there is no pro-
vision In the church constitution Tor
women 10 serve on committees.
The Rev. DR.. Young, who presented
the minority report in its original form,
also submitted the amendment yester-
day. In making a plea that the women
be given recognition in the church, ne
said
II don't propose TO introduce any
radical changes, but have too much
respect for the fairer sex not to take up
this question in their favor The issue
deserves TO be faced and discussed.
The Rev. Dr.. Alexander Mackie, OF
Pennsylvania, replied: This assembly
has too many old ladies now without
electing any more to membership nc
declared.
After the assembly had reached de'
clslon on the suffrage question the en-
tire pollty report was adopted.
The standing committee on theolosi
cal. semlnarlcs made recommendation
against short cuts to the ministry.

Whether the president will act in
an attempt to revive the conference

strikes and lockouts, has not been
decided. The question probably will
not be determined until Secretary of

BERLIN, Oct. 2Z.-The fomer
kaiser scoffed at the danger OF Amer
ican Intervention early in 1917, &C
cording to Count Won Bernstorff
then German ambassador to the
United States.
Replying to question by DR.. SIN
sheimer, when he resumed testifying
in the reichstag committee OF inves'
litigation of conduct OF the war this
afternoon, Won Bernstorff admitted
that Wilhelm telegraphed Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman about January
16, 1917, that IF a breach with
America cannot be avoided, things
must take their course. =
The statement created sensation
several committee members gaspins
!audibly. There was hurried CON
sultation and after some delay copy
|of the telegram was produced. 1t was
read by Sinsheimer.
His majesty does not care bit
about President Wilson's peace
offer" the telegram said. IF breach
with America cannot be avoided,
things must take their course
Bvents are developing"
The excitement grew as the full
text was read and then the commit.
tee and audience grasped the full
import of this hidden bit of imperial
diplomacy. There was confused
muttering above which DR.. Karl
Helfferich, former German ambassa
dor to Russia, could be heard to
whisper loudly:
Nonsense"
When the hearing was resumed
Sinsheimer declared Germany's pro.
gram OF peace conditions sent to
Wilson on January II, 1917, and said
to be the same as Germany offered
December 28, 1915, were in reality
not the same.
.This is the first time / ever knew
that" interrupted Won Bernstein, ex.
citedly.
Returning to discussion of ale sed
German plots in America Won Barn
storff said he believed nothing ever
transpired to justify the accusation
of conspiracy. He admitted that GER
tain German officials ha0 participated
in acts of sabotage. but declared the
German foreign office was never a
party to it.
Aul6TlCdu against SSI-
many resulted mainly from the inva-
sion of Belgium" he maintained.
Discussing the exchange OF notes
between the German foreign Office
and the American state department

that Wilson undoubtedly was ready

tiations, providing Germany made
plain she had no intention Of annex
ing Belgium.

that Captain Boy-Ed, German naval
attache, and Captain Won Papen, Ger

POWER TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY
Secretary of Labor Wilson Has Made Offer to
Miners and Oper ators in Effort TO
Prevent Walkout.

the offer Is accepted these negotiations
to be started late in January.
Operators and miners professed to
differ on the Interpretation of the
Wilson offer.
lla operators declared the present
c, act would not end until next
March 81. This would probably nullify
the provision for temporary in
crease. Miners said the contracts
were void now.
Wilson declared that the time for
the ending of the present contract
would have to be left for negotiation.
The point has been one of those in
dispute and 1t broke up previous meet
ings between miners and operators.
The Wilson offer was compromise
between the miners and operators de-
mands 1t does not mention hours Of
labor despite the fact that the miners
demanded six hour day and Ave
day week This question will be left
to be determined when new contract
is negotiated If both sides decide to
accept the compromise.
