Episcopal Hymnal May

Philadelphia. Pa. May 20.-Speak-
ing of "The New Hymnal" before the

ant Episcopal Church in the Church
House yesterday. the Rev. Henry
Martyr Medary, rector. of the Me-

gested the advisahility of publishing
another edition of the hymnal con-
tanning words without the music. .
The New Hymnal. which is the only
edition available, contains both words
and music, and some have objected to
it because of its size.
The Rev. Mr.. Medary said the New
Hymnal was "bulky"; however, his
analysis of the book was almost en-
tircly one of praise.
THE musical edition of the Hymn
nal is too bulky for general use.
wish we might have an edition with
words only" he said.
\ majority of the clergymen ap-
peared to favor Mr.. Medarys sugges-
ton.
The diocesan convention adopted
resolution to memorialize the general
convention of the Episcopal Church to
publish an edition of the New Hymnal
with words only, and the subject will
be brought to the attention of the
general convention when the body
meets next October.

ALLIES CLEAN UP
CONSTANTINOPLE,

A m erican Red Gross is

Constantinople, May 20.-Constan-
tinople is being cleaned up by the
Allies and soon it will be like a
Western European city. The regen-
Grafton of Turkey is commencing
with general sanitary campaign
in which the American Red Cross
Commission to the Balkans has
been asked to aid. .
American sanitary engineers of

physician. Sewage systems must be
Installed throughout the Near East
in hundreds of towns. Constanti-
nople must be cleaned up till it
looks like Swiss housewives kitch-
en-. Mosquito netting by the mil
lions of bales must be brought over.
Local doctors do not believe in the
screening of sick beds or of hos
pital windows. They must go to
school again in their profession.
Swamps and unhealthy valleys must
he drained. The people must be
driven out of the filthy centers of
disease into the open country where
the sun can get at them and where
they can engage in healthy form
work.

doctor. 81 feel an irresistible de-
sire to gather ten thousand of these
unfortunate wretches together, strip
them of their craZy-quilt bundles of
vermin-infested rags, force them all
into a vast petroleum pool, then into
a great tank of clean water. I would
give them one and all a pair of
American shoes, a pair of overalls
and a sweater.
THE roads over which we are try
ing to get out autom obiles. filled
with Red Cross supplies for the un-
derfed of Central Serbia. are quite
impossible. From Saloniki to Bel
grade the roads are lined with tens
cf thousnds of skeletons and rot
ting carcasses of animals. Soldiers
graves, thinly screened with earth,
skirt the highawys, No wonder
there are dozens of cases of typhus
in every city in Serbia.
Many Are the Needs
What the Near East needs is sew
eral divisions of American plumbers,
railroad men, sanitary engineers,
doctors. nurses, white wings, build
ing contra ctors, druggists and pre-
scription clerks. farming machine
statesmen, experienced cootie mill
operators, army bakers and coat and
pants statesmen with East Side ex-
perience. The first boatload to
leave Toulon or New York should
contain the plumbers" declared the
physician.
