cas- Tribute to British Merchant Sea-
men, with national headquarters at No.
665 Fifth avenue, New York. a booklet

PRESBYTERS SHY
At INTERCHURCH
Approve League of Denomi-
nations With Reserva-
tions Only
MAIN OBJECTION Is
GENERAL TREASURY

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 25.-Partici-
patton by the Presbyterian Church OF
the United States Of America, Of which
President Wilson is a ruling elder, in a
projected league OF evangelical
churches. comprising 100000 COM
munications, was made subject to seven
reservations" in meeting Of the
executive commission OF the Presby-
terian General Assembly here yester-
day.
The Presbyterian Church favors the
proposed interchurch movement. both
nationally and internationally but takes
exceptions to certain phases OF the pro-
posed plan Of federation, il was stated
after the Rev. Doctor Swearingen, of
ST. Paul, had presented the report of
the committee that has represented the
General Assembly in the interchurch
council on federation.
One of the most important grounds
for the seven reservations is the pro-
posal for financing the projected church
OF federated denominations. The inter-
church council has advocated one gen.
eral pool from which funds should be
apportloned 10 each denomination. The
General Assembly favors a simultaneous
drive for funds by each OF the eighteen
denominations that have been invited 10
Join the interchurch movement, but
contends that each denomination should
administer Its own finances.
James NJ. Spears and S. Earl Taylor,
two OF the most prominent of the
Methodist eXponents Of one Church OF
Christ in America. have been here i'm
conference with the Presbyterian reser-
vationlsts. Their efforts are said to
have been fruitless.
The executive commission, with John
Miller Baer Of Pasadena, the first lay
moderator, the Presbyterian Church
ever has had presiding, will take up
here revision OF clerical salaries to meet
the high cost of living. Members OF
the committee today deplored the fact
that the stipend of many able pastors
in small city assignments is less than
the wage Of school janitors. The Rev.
Evening journal., 1919-09-25

DR.. William Henry Roberts. Of Phila-
delphla, presented the report on va
cancy and supply.
The executive commission approved
strongly recommendations that churches
throughout all Of the 3OO-odd presby-
teries make special appropriations to
increase church attendance through
systematic newspaper advertising Ar
rangements for the establishment OF
publicity bureau for the church as a
whole are progressing satisfactorily; the
Presbyterian denomination intends TO
be the best advertised in the country.
Budgets for The thirteen boards and
agencies OF the church total approXi-
mately S2J,O00OO0, an increase Of Sl2,-
000.OoO compared with the allotments
for i9i9-2O This is substantially five
times as much as the church was ak
pending a few years ago.
10 is believed the executive commits
sion will give approval TO the pro-
posed establishment Of a central treas
ury, a radical innovation. Proposals
for reducing the membership of the
commission probably will be rejected.
George G. Mahy, D. D., Of Philadel-
phia, general secretary Of the com
mittee on evangelism, reported ten men
will be assigned as soon as possible to
various presbyteries for evangelistic
leadership. The committee is asking
$4,000 for this work, an increase OF
$4,000 compared with last year.
Another departure for the church is
a proposal TO aid pastors in the ac-
quisNiOn Of libraries and TO supply
them with the latest PUBLISHED thought
through a system Of travelling Libraries.

Under the new law their taxes will be

WHEN WILL SOLDIERS MEMO
RIAL BE BUILT

Many months ago when the spirit
of patriotism burned high and the
people of the country were making
all kinds of demonstrations in honor
of the soldier boys OF America, a
movement was started for the pur-
pose of raising a fund to erect a
memorial to the memory of Bour-
bon ~county's soldier and sailor dead.
What has become of that fund !?
This question has been asked on nu-
merous occasions. What is to be
done with the amount raised? is an
other question. A subscriber to the
fund asks THE NEWS to put the
question; The question is put. We
have no knowledge that will clear
the matter for him..
At the North Middletown Chris
tian church last Sunday two bronze
tablets were dedicated Ito the mem
DRY of soldier boys from that church.
o ne,-given by Henry S. Caywood,
containede the names of thirty
three boys from the church. The
other given by the aeniheFs of the
Women's Bible class. Of which Mrs.
Allie Dickson is president, was
placed in the woman's parlor, and
contains the names; of the = twenty
one war mothers of the community.
Appropriate exercises marked the
placing Of the tablets in position.
What will Paris and Bourbon
county do further toward honorine
the memory of the boys who died
for their country, eitherson the field
of battle, or in the camps and hos
pitals? Will some one who knows
please answer and enlighten US?

THE ALLIED TOBACCO LEAGUE
OF AMERICA

The Allied Tobacco League OF
America is ready to combat and at
tempt to prohibit the use OF the
weed and is already busy in Ken
lucky to have every grower of TO-
bacco and every manufacturer join
the league and pay a good fee. We
really do not believe than any con-
siderable number of men will join
in the crusade against tobacco, and
from the looks of the names OF some
of the officers the move is more to
give them paying berths than of any
danger Of prohibition. Such men
would like for the agitation to come
as they could, like some of the pro-
