Young Kentackians series, the Yoss~g Ms

series, Of which his new book, Scouting

that army he was part. "But the task

woven around actual events of the war,
tells of the continued adventures of two
Youthful heroes, Robert Hunter and Jim

AS already stated Bishop Soule pre-
sided over the first session of the
conference, but this session seems

visited the Florida conference.

Bishop Gambler to Preside
Bishop Warren A. Gambler, who
will preside at this session of the
Florida conference has presided over
five sessions of that body hitherto.
He was with us at our conference at
Gainesville in 1898; Monticello in
1899; Barlow in 1900! Orlando in
1904 and Barlow 1918.
OF the bishops who have presided
over the Florida conference all have
answered the final roll call with the
exception of Bishop Gambler, Morri
son, Denny, Kilgo, Key and Hendrix.
Bishop Gambler is in great favor
with the Florida brethren, many OF
whom were in Emory College during
the years of his presideny of that
institution, and all of whom have
come under his influence in the
broader sphere of his activities as one
of the chief shepherds of our Meth
odism. He is at this time the chan
cellor Of our great Emory University
in Atlanta, having taken on this work
in addition to the duties required Of
him as bishop. Bishop Gambler will
be accompanied to Lakeland by his
estimatble wife, and while in the city
they will be the guests of Brother H
B. Carter at the Kibler Hotel.
The bishop will have the nine pre-
siding elders of the conference as his
advisors during the conference, anG
they will hold daily sessions each af
ternoon at the Kibler, going over al
the interests of the field and assign
ing the preachers to their fields o.
labor for another year.
The presiding elders composing the
cabinet are as follows Barlow dis
trict, C. F. Blackburn; Gainesville
G. s. Roberts; Jacksonville, |. c

Conference Secretaries
T. c. Benning was the first secre
tary of the Florida conference. P

p. Smith was secretary for sixteen
years at different periods; T. N.
Gardner, one year; ]. c. Ley, one
year; F. A. Branch, six years; J. P
DePass, one year; U. S. Bird, three
years.
In 1874 F. Pasca was elected secre-
tary and served the conference in
that capacity for forty-five years, re-
firing last year on account of feeble
health. He was succeeded by J. E.
Mickler, who had been his assistant
secretary for many years.
The last yearbook shows that
there are la effective members on
the roll of the Florida Conference;
sixteen superannuates, and two sup
ernumeraries.
OF the undergraduates there are in
the class of the first year, five; and
the second year, five. There are
eight in the class of the third year
and nine in the class of the fourth
year.
The yearbook shows that there
are twenty-seven supply pastors as
follows: Barlow district, two;
| Gainesville, three; Jacksonville,
three; Miami, five; Ocala three; Or
lando, seven; Tampa, two; Latin two.
Women Delegates for the First Time
For the first time in its history the
Florida conference will this year have
some women in attendance as duly
elected lay delegates. Every district
has one or more women in its dele
cation, except Gainesville and Miami,
whose district conferences were held
before the election of women as dele
gates became lawful by action of the
| general conference. The Latin dis
trict is most gallant of all, as it splits
! its delegation evenly, there being
! four women and four men. Two of
the ladies' are wives of preachers,
Mrs. l.. d. Lewis, wife of presiding
elder of the Lation district, and Mrs.
R, E. Smith, wife of the pastor of
Southern College. The lady dele
gate from the Barlow district is Mrs.

bassy by the Administration TO issue
any statement regarding the Japanese
purposes as to Shantung, but Mr.. De-
buchi was willing to discuss the subject
with the Associated Press with the dis
tinct understanding, however, that he
was expressing his own personal views.
In answer to a question as to what
was to be the final disposition of the
Japanese troops in Shantung Mr.. De-
buchi replied
Japan has firmly determined to re-
store to China her sovereignty over the
leased territory In Kiao-chau, which
sovereignty was conferred upon Ger
many In accordance with the stipula-
lions of the treaty between China and
japan in 1908.
Japan is not only prepared to restore
that property to China but also is ready
to open negotiations to that end with
China as soon as possible
THE railroad between Tsingtau and
Tsinan-fu, which was formerly under
the exclusive management of Germany,
will be placed Under the Joint operation
of China and Japan. Likewise the for
titled port Of Tsingtau, formerly exclu-
sively controlled by Germany and prac-
tically a closed port to the rest of the
world, will be opened to foreign trade
generally without discrimination.
Japan contemplates the maintenance
In Tsingtau In the future of a Japanese
settlement and also an international set
Element. The situation there will be
practically like that at Shanghai, where
there is a French settlement and an in
ternetioAal settlement.
Germany enjoyed and exercised the
rights of stationing troops in Kiao-chau
under the terms of her treaty with China.
Japan, however, in view of the Fact that
she has determined to restore sovereignty
over Kiao-chau to China is firmly de-
termined to withdraw every one of her
troops actually stationed in Shantung
just as soon as possible.
The above dispositions. however, are
subject to the signature of the German
peace treaty by China and to a subse-
quent agreement by China with Japan in
regard to the disposition Of the restored
territories"
