David Hummell Greer, Protestant
Episcopal bishop of New York. was one
of the most active and influential
Episcopalian leaders in the United
States. St Bartholomew Parish in
New York City he built up from op-
scurity to one of the richest and larg-
est working church plants in the coun'
try. He possessed II knowledge of hu-
man nature that made him an ldol
among thousands of the poor whose
betterment he persistently sought, and
at the same time he allied himself
with the wealth and culture of the city,
winning the confidence Of such famil-
les as the Nanderbils and Morgans.
Trinity Parish with its accumulated
millions possessed greater wealth, but
in proportion to its size st. Bartholo-
new was the richer.
1t was said at one time, during a
financial stringency when there was
a great deal of suffering in New YORK
that the rector gave virtually his entire
salary to the poor. At the completion
of his work as rector of st. Bartholo-
news in 1904 he left as an outstanding
evidence of his labors the Parish House
which is one of the largest church in
stitutions in America.
Bishop Greer accepted the election
as coadjutor bishop of the Diocese OF
New York after having declined three
earlier offers to the Episcopacy in Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and Pennsyl-
vania On the death of Henry c. Pot
M
head of the diocese.
Next to his ability as an admins
traitor and organizer, probably Bishop
Grees most prominent characteristic
was his extreme democracy. He was
spoken of as a bishop without trap
pings" 1T was said at the time of
his conservation as bishop that until
he had been invested with the office
he had never worn any of the habili-
ments of the sacredota office. He gave
as his reason for this that the livery of
the church was a concession to his
own weakness. and he was said to have
made the statement that if he could not,
by his own bearing and conduct, i'm
press men as being different from
themselves he did not care to make
them pretend by artificial means that
he was.
Bishop Greer was born at Wheeling,
w. Va, March 20, 1874. His father
and mother were church people and his
grandfather was clergyman Of the
Church of England, serving for many
years in Wheeling.
As an author Bishop Greer contrib
uted several books on religious topics
among which were The Historic
Christ" From Things to God" The
Preacher and His Place. and Visions"

Paris, May 23.-The note from Count
Won Brockdorff-RantZau head of the
German peace delegation at Versailles
regarding the economic effect of the
peace treaty dated at Versailles, May 49,
was made public today. The note
reads:
"'Mr President: In conformity with
my communication of the ninth instant
1 have the honor to present to your eX-
cellency the report of the economic
commission charged with the study of
the effect of the conditions of peace on
the situation of the German population:
"'In the course of the last two gen
erations Germany has become trans
formed from an agricultural state to an
industrial state. As long as she was
an agricultural state, Germany could
feed 40 900 600 inhabitants. In her quail

sure the nounrishment of a population
of G7. .0OO. 900. In 1917. the importation
of foodstuffs amounted in round figures
to 1900, 600 tons. Before the war a

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF TERMS OF

HUN NOTE IS MISLEADING

sr~-.y ~ Allies; Show Ravagers of
Belgium Suffered Little at Home.

Paris, May 23.-Germany's economic
status under the terms of the peace
treaty is the result of her own behavior
particularly through the ruthless sub
ciated council informed Count con
Brockdorff. .Rantzau. in answer to his
allied answer which was made public
today, with the text of the German
German plea is exaggerated and ig-
nores the fundamental considerations
which led to the imposition of the terms
The loss to world shipping through
the German submarine campaign, it is
declared, in reply, was nearly thirteen
million tons The allies propose to make
Germany repay only four million tons.
Responsibility for this shortage in ship
ping is placed directly on Germany and
the German share in replacing it is call
ed very moderate"
IN answer W lit NItIIldll IlttI llltil
Germany will be called upon to feed
67 100000 persons, it is declared that
the peace treaty takes 100000 out of
German control. 1t is added that Ger
man agriculture is in better shape than
that of Poland, Belgium and Northern
France, where the fighting was heav-
lest. The Germans complained that
they would lose certain necessary com
modities. The allies reply is that Ger

many. it is asserted. destroyed the Lens
coal fields and the coal fields taken from
her in payment of the destruction
wrought still leaves her sufficient
sources of fuel. The Germans com
planned that the German population
would suffer under the treaty, which
was described as a death sentence
The reply points out that all countries
are suffering as Il result of the war
and there is no reason why Germany
which was responsible for the war
should not suffer. German figures as
to the loss in population due to the
blockade and speculation as to what
will happen to the population i'm the
future, are declared to be falacious
There will be every opportunity for
Germany to make her position in the
world both stable and prosperous. Ger

there will be Il saving from reduction

LEMON EXTRACT PROVES TO
BE EXPENSIVE DRINK.


A young man, who evidently had a
parched feeling in his throat last Sun
day, tried the experiment of using
lemon extract to quench his thirst. He
acquired an exhilerating feeling from
the refreshing swallows and the city's
peace was disturbed by his disorderly
conduct during the afternoon. He was
taken to the city's strong-house by
Marshal Emil Kramer to overcome the
effects of. the concentrated liquid and
on Monday morning he appeared in
Justice W. O. Braggan's court, where
he was ordered to pay fine of $40.
He is now a wiser young man and
claims that hereafter lemonade will be
good enough for him.
