DEPUTIES FIGHT
OVER PRAYER
Body of Episcopal Church
Adopts Service For the
Nations Dead
BY Associated Press.

Detroit, Oct. IA fight that was
almost bitter developed in the House
of Deputies of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church of America. on the ap-
proval of a Memor Day prayer for
"the nations dead" which, how
ever, was finally adopted, together
with notifications which would
shorten the morning and evening
prayer services, minor changes in
the psalter and new prayers for the
Army and Navy.
DIR. George c. Foley, of the Phil
adelphia Divinity School, maintain
ed that adoption of the Memorial
Day prayer would mean prayers
for the dead" which DR.. James M.
Owens, of Shreveport, La, declar-
ed would be a radical departure,
to be likely followed by eucharist
for the dead "a backward step" DR..
c. P. Wilbmer, of Atlanta, Ga, held
the adoption of this prayer would
be an Opening wedge for requiem
mass" and objected to it strongly.
On the other hand Major General
Charles M. Clement, of Sunbury, Pa,
commander of the Twenty eighth
Division before it went overseas; DIR.
George Craig Stewart, of Evanston,
Ills, and others expressed the op-
posite view.
A missionary district in the Pana-
ma canal zone was created by the
House of Bishops.
The church will record a united
opinion on adoption of the Peace
Treaty and the Covenant of the
League of Nations, in the opinion of
leading churchmen attending the
meeting.
Following adoption by the House
of Bishops of a resolution presented
by Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster,
of Connecticut, requesting the
U. s. Senate to Secure participa-
ton of our country in Il covenant of
nations" the opinion was expressed
in the House of Deputies that the
same resolution would be passed
there. A fight on the question is
anticipated, however, although po-
litical lines apparently are not
drawn.

One of the most influential factors

condition of the steel market. When
the monthly report OF the steel trade
shows decrease in untitled tonnage,
it is reflected In a slowing down of
business undertakings. When the re-
port shows an increase in untitled ton
mage the opposite effect is noted. The
latest steel report shows a consider

conclusion is obvious. Increased pros
perity and activity in all branches of

poned until conclusions as to the bat
tleship-cruiser can be reached.
The largest battleship that the
United States can use depends largely
on the depth of our harbors and the
mens,ons of the locks of the Panama
Canal.
Altogether the whole battleship sit
uation is much up in the air just at
present Experts still differ radically
on the types of ships we should build.
There are those who advocate big
ships, who hold that it was the exist
ence of dreadnaughts that kept Ger
many bottled up and so played a great
part in winning the war. They did
not necessarily have to strike a blow
to win but they had to exist in pre-
dominating strength.
On the other hand is the school
which argues that the destroyer
proved itself the most effective fight
ing ship in the recent war. the most
active of them all. the type of vessel
best fitted to combat the submarine.
This school argues in favor of submar-
ines for offensive work and destroyers
to combat them.
Yet there is little heart in the con-
tentions of either school. Govern
ments have not had time to study the
great treaty and the provisions look
ing to a decrease in the size of arma-
ments. 1t may be a fact that no more
battleships will be built. This gov
eminent is proceeding toward the
completion of some of those monsters
that are already under construction.
On some of them the work has been
stopped. There is so little demand
for battleships that no value was at
tached to the captured fleet of Ger
many and little regret was felt when it
was sunk The future of the battle
ship is undecided. 1t may have no
future. 1t may yet become the me-
chanical dodo or dinoceras. Who
knows?

THANKS. MR.. WILSON,

President Wilson came home just in
time to prevent congress robbing the
millions OF American workers of the
extra hour of sunlight they have been
enjoying for the past two summers,
and by his veto Of the agricultural
bill because of its rider killing the
daylight saving law he has made
amends with many for the miscarriage
of other acts of his administration.
Probably no one act of his admins
tration will mean so much to the
every man and woman and child who
works indoors will get more out of
life. The president used his veto
power to save the daylight law largely
for economic reasons. he said. But the
dollars and cents his action will save
to the industrial world are insignifi-
cant when compared with the personal
advantages given to individuals.
Under the present system there is
not a laboring man who cannot boast
AZ Time all his own" There is not
an individual who does not have a
little bit of daylight day to use for
pleasure or profit or improvement as
he sees fit The man who grows a
garden and the man who goes a-golf-
ing join in thanking the president for
the action he has taken. The man
who likes to paint his own house and
prune his own trees after coming home
from shop or office also is grateful
as is the man who must NOW his own
lawn and milk his own COWS.
About the only constant kicker
against the new time system is Sena-
tor Capper, it seems. He insists that
it is obnoxious and the presidents ac-
ton in saving it displeases him as
much as did the presidents action in
defeating Democratic congressional
and senatorial candidates last Novem-
Der by making a partisan war appeal
to the people, it seems. Undoubtedly
there are some farmers who prefer the
old time, but neither Senator CappeI
nor the farmers have been able to ad-
vance arguments worthy of con-
sideration when the benefits of the
new system are weighed against the
few inconveniences 1t causes.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-07-14

In vetoing the agricultural appro-
priation bill with its rider repeating
the daylight savings law President
Wilson has shown a commendable re-
gard for the sentiment of the country.
Public opinion generally not only is
opposed to the repeal Of the daylight
savings law, but it also is opposed
to attaching riders to appropriation
measures, as a method frequently
adopted for forcing thru congress
legislation which could not pass on its
merits. The agricultural appropria-
ton bill was selected as the bearer of
the daylight savings repeal rider on
the theory that the repeal of the meas
ure was especially desired by the
farmers and was in their interest. 1t
IS we'll known that what sentiment has
existed among farmers against day
light saving, largely has been manu-
featured by editors and owners of
sarn papers for political purposes.
The small number of farmers who
have been honestly opposed to day
light saving are outnumbered greatly
by the mechanics. clerks and day
iaborers of the country who are sup
porters OF the law almost to a man.
II congress still feel called upon to re-
peal the law let it submit a repeal
bill, which will be dependent solely
upon its own merits for success.

PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 went with
a boy who was true to me. We went
together for nearly three months.
After we quit keeping company this
boy tried to go with other girls, but
not to amount to anything.
He isn't the same as he was. Now
have another friend who doesn't
want me to go with or write to any
other boys. I promised him and have
been keeping my promise, but feel as
tho I would like to break the promise.
But if 1 do 1 will lose my friend for
good. But if 1 would I feel as if 1
could help the first boy a whole lot.
Please let me have your advice.
NJ A. K.
Do not give up your present friend
for the young man whose conduct
does not meet with your approval.
You could help him very little. if any.
There would be the danger. too, that
your reputation would suffer from
further relationship with him.
Let the yonng man feel that he still
has your friendship. but do not go
places with him unless he makes him.

A survey of the emigration situation

A survey of the emigration situation
asst completed by the department of
.abor discloses that 100000 aliens
are planning to return to Europe.
This number is in excess of the ordi-
nary outgo of aliens. which will swell
the total. and confirms reports that
have been coming from large indus
trial and mining centers for weeks.
that thousands of aliens are deter
mined to get back to their native
lands as soon as they can obtain
passports and ships. This develop
ment incident to the ending of the
world war is certain to have a pro-
found effect upon the labor situation
says the Iron Trade Review. and large
employers are rapidly awakening
to an appreciation of the fact.
Because of the large number of aliens
employed as common Iaborers in
the coke regions. the coal fields, and
in iron and steel plants. the problem
especially is important for the iron
and steel industry. A widespread
shortage of unskilled labor in all
probability would result in the Of
fering Of excessive wages to attract
men to this class of essential work
>=-t development would increase
nartber the present high cost Of pro-
