English Cllurchrnan
Will Be Opposed
AS Bishop of N. Y.
DR.. Slattery Mentioned as
Compromise if Deadlock
OH DIR. Manning and
DIR. Stires Is Unbroken

There is little possibility of the
election of an English clergyman to
the Bishopric of New York. according
to men who will sit in the special do
cesan convention. Announcement was
made few days ago that, because of
the apparent deadlock, the election of
man from within the diocese was no
longer considered and the names of
three widely known Church of Eng
land clergymen were suggested as pos
sibilities.
A canvass Of large number of the
lay and clerical delegates fails to dis
close any sentiment in favor of the
election Of an English churchman. Of
the three names mentioned only one,
that of the Rev. ]. Stuart Holden. of
London, seemed even familiar to the
delegates.
The special election is called for
September II and lively electioneering
has been in progress ever since the
date was set. Well Informed clergy
men insist that the first ballot viii
show large complimentary votes for
Bishop Charles S. Burch, for the Rev.
Or. Ernest Stires, rector OF St.
Ihomas's, and for the Rev. Dr.. Will
lam |. Manning. rector of Trinity
Parish. The upstate delegates will
vote Tor Bishop Burch in .arge num-
bers as long as his name remains be-
fore the convention.
If the deadlock that is forecast be-
tween Drs. Stires and Manning re-
mains unbroken after several ballots
and neither candidate is permitted to

Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Plans Already Being Made to Send
Even More Children Into Country
Next Summer Away from Hot CITY

The children of the city are crying
for Fairgrounds. The newspapers,
realizing that play is the birthright Of
the child and means better citizens for
the nation, are echoing the cry.
Practically there is no place for most
of the city's youngsters to play but
the crowded streets. The playground
space in the crowded sections of Man
haitian would not provide room for
onc-thousandth of the children of the
tenement houses, even ii it were &C
cessibe to them.
What have the youngsters, shut out
from their schools, been doing all the
days of this summer?
Where Vacations Are Needed
Most of them have been Willing a
miserable, deadening existence amid
the only surroundings they know-the
dingy unattractive thoroughfares along
which their tenement homes rise and
obscure the sun, the blue sky and shut
out the cooling breeze.
Are they satisfied? Go through the
streets, look up at the house fronts,
and see here and there on fire esca pc
and windowsill and red of geraniura,
the purple of pot of pansies that de-

for things more beautiful than their
streets, their tenement homes. Ask one
of them if he would like a chance to
run and play in the country for week,
and see him jump at the offer.
To satisfy this longing, to fill the
need for play for boys and girls, oil
summer long The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund has been working at top speed
to find places in sthe country to which
such children might be sent, to get
which to pay the expense of sending
the children to the places and keeping
them there for happy, playful fort
nights.
To thousands of children relief and
pleasure have been brought in this way
and they have returned to endure with
better grace the confinement and the
drabness OF their usual fairgrounds
They are the lucky thousands. Think,

King Albert and Queen Elizabeth with
the latter personally bestowng the
medal which she has awarded to Miss
Jane Gregory, daughter of former At

hinges around Forrest Hills Inn, For
rest Hills Gardens, l.. I.
In those days when the war was new
for the United States and girls of the
official circles ut Washington were
volunteering their services wherever
they could to fill the gaps made by the
drafting of men. Miss Jane Gregory
true to the traditions of the family
for public service, went down to the
Food Administration to apply for a
job.
She is a native of Texas, where the
community idea of everybody helping
out in the general crisis always has
ne d sway since the Alamo fell 1t was
her first attempt at earning money
through her own effort, but she knew
enough to take along a name to be
given as reference for her ability and
character.
The name was that of Colonel E. M.
House, an old Texas friend of the fam
lily and thoroughly familiar with the
merits of the applicant for the war
work. But an obstacle developed be-
The point that she perhaps was not
entitled to the emoluments of a job
because she had no dependents was
raised.
"But have dependents" remon-
strated the young daughter of the Cab
met
"Who might they be, please?' asked
the appointment chief.
Three little Belgian orphans, whom
countered the applicant for position,
and she won her point.
Miss Gregory worked faithfully at
her place until long after the armis-
tice was signed. She is at Forrest
Hills, as Mr.. and Mrs. Gregory are es-
tablishing a New York residence prep
aratory to the formers becoming asso-
ciated with New York law firm. A
few days ago Miss Gregory received
official notice from the Belgian Lega-
ton at Washington that Queen Eliza
beth had awarded to her a medal of
the Order of Queen Elizabeth for SER

Aside from the little human interest

behalf of Belgium by Miss Gregory,
she worked with Mrs. j. Hamilton

with the Belgian Relief Commission
AS the medal has not been received by
Miss Gregory, the brevit signifying it's
official designation having surprised
her few days ago, it is possible that
it's arrival will be timed with shat of
