CHURCH DECIDES INNOCENT PARTY
 MAY REmARRY

Detroit, Oct. 1S.---Through action of the laymen of the -Episco- pal Church of the 1916 General Con vention, sustained by both clerical and lay delegates yesterday, the innocent party to a divorce may be re-wed in the church. Amendment of the can Episcopal priest of a person who has a divorced husband or wife living was defeated, despite desperate efforts by many of the clergy and a- few of the laity to force it's adoption. Both or Gers registered a majority against the amendment.
 Demand of several delegates who favored the amendment that the church unquelifiedly declare against divorce and rernarriage brought a prolonged argument.
 Judge Joseph Packard of BaIimore should not be permitted to re-wed the innocent party to a divorce Dr. c. F. G. Wrigley of Brooklyn maintained that the laymen desired to maintain a dual marriage law. Dr. Randolph H. McKim of Washington, D. C., held the old church law to be the best preservative we have of the purity of the family" Dr. William T. Manning of New York declared the amendm ent necessary ito uphold the highest ideals moral and spiritual of mar riage.'

W. B, ]. BUREAU SENDING LARGE
 SUMS ID ITALY

Naples, Oct. 17.-(By The Asso- cited Press) Tens of thousands of checks amounting to millions of dol lars each month are being sent to relatives here by the 1talo-Americans who served in the American army. Therefore the money received from American soldiers allotments, War Fisk Insurance benefits, and United States Government compensation con stitutes one of the chief sources of income for Southern Italy at the present time. Of the thousands of Jtalo-Americans in the American army, the great majority were from Southern Italy, which has furnished the bulk of Italian ernigrants to the United States.
 Al the present rate of exchange of almost ten lire to the dollar, these checks yield a profitable revenue to Italy. It is a widely known fact that thousands of families in Southern Italy today are being largely sup ported by such contributions from the Treasury of the United States.

 The ghosts that sit at the we'll
 scared seats, When the dark of the moon and
 the gray sky meets With the daytime light, and a chill Q wind blows? Ghosts-weIl, not ghosts perhaps but Rather like wistful shades. that Waiting a look or an outstretched
 hand To call them back where the morn ing gleams- Dreams of the hopes we had, that died;
 Dreams of vivid youth we sold; Dream of a pot of rainbow gold Gold that was sought for, eager Dreams of the plans we made, tha: With the lesson books on the dusty racks;
 Of the joyous years that will not
 come back That are drowned in the tears we have learned to weep. Ghosts did I call them Sweet they As plant that grows in a desert
 place
 Sweet as dear remembered
 face Sweet as a pale courageous star. Where the sumac grows in a fam ing wall
 It stands, at the end of a little
 lane,
 Where there do the children come
 again, Answering still the bells shril1 call, Just as we came, with their song unsung,
 And their hopes all new, and their
 dreams dew-kissed; Brave as the sun in land of Just as we came when the world was young! Margaret E. Stangster, in the Christian Herald.

SITUATION IN

Inter Allied Commission to . Leave for Baltic-Von Der
 GoltZ Has Great Chance

Paris, Oct. 18-The Inter-Allied Military Commission to superintend the evacuation of the German forces of General Won Der Go1tz will leave for the Baltic states probably within a very few days as there is great un- easiness in Paris over the Baltic situation, the continued menace from the presence of these troops in the Baltic region, and the increasing pos sibility that Petrograd may soon change hands and thus put all north ern Russia into the same unsettled state which prevails in the Baltic provinces.
 This, it is feared, would afford a wonderful opportunity for a com mander of a type of General Won Der Goltz, who has demonstrated unusual strength as a leader of guerrilla war fare such as that now common in northern Russia and who has sur rounded himself with large number of fearless adventurers of a similar chara cter.

The re- quest made by the operators and dealers, they said, in view of the threatened strike of miners Nov. l. asks that all open top cars be used during the remainder Of this month, exclusively for moving coal.
 The action of the operators and dealers follows closely a statement given out by the miners yesterday declaring that a movement on foot to increase prices of bituminous coal was unjustif1ed as the production of coal was not lessened and that the miners have agreed to work steadily until Nov. l. The statement further charges that any increases in the prices of coal now can be viewed only "as plain everyday prof1teering.'
