BAPT|STS TO BUILD
MANY HOSPITALS
MILLION AND HALF TO BE SPENT
FOR INSTITUTION AT
NEW ORLEANS.
THE VOTE WAS UNAN IMOUS
Kentucky, Alabama, n-rth Carolina
and Virginia will Be Included
in Great Building Program
of the Denomination.

hington.-Authority to build q
$1,000, 900 hospital in New Orleans Was
unanimously voted to the home mis-
sion board by the Southern Baptist
| convention.
Baptists of the South are earnestly
endeavoring to provide adequate hos
pital facilities for the South, F. S. Gro
ner, of Dallas, Texas, declared in pre-
senting the report of the committee on
hospitals to the convention. These IA
cilities now are entirely inadequate, he
said, and less than in any other sec
tion of the country.
Baptists already have hospitals in
nine Southern states, Mr.. Groner said,
and have established high records for
efficiency and service. Additional
hospitals are soon to be erected.
Louisville, he said, is to build one at
q cost of S409, 600; in Alabama $780,
600 hospital is to be constructed and IN
North Carolina 100000 has been
raised and the city which obtains the
site for a hospital will add 100000
Lynchburg, Va, also is planning for
one.
Difficulties faced in getting the BIZ
BILE before the people of the world
were laid before the convention by
Frank H. Mann, of New York, secre-
tary of the American Bible Society.
Translation is one of the main prob
lens of the society, Mr. Mann de-
clared, and although the Bible has
teen rewritten in the more than 600
languages and dialects, it has only
been possible to translate the whole
Bible into 40 languages. To trans
late the Bible into Chinese, he said,
had taken over 25 years and cost hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
Printing is one of the difficulties OF
Bible spreading Mr.. Mann said. While
the society prints over 100000 copies
of the Bible year, this number is en-
tirely insufficient. He added that if
I'll printing facilities in the country
were devoted to Bible publication they
would still be Inadequate.
The personnel of the committee
which is to recommend the program
for the next four years for the s. 00o,-
coo campaign fund was announced as

ON WORLD DEBTS
GERMANY WILL HAVE TO PAY
FIRST. THEN OTHER DEBTS
WILL BE CANCELLED.
AMERICA NOT IN ON PLAN

Great Brtain-Creditors of
Allies Are Gamers.

Fythe England.-The Anglo-French
ombination which has succeeded the
big four in the management of the al
lies dealings vita Germany, deter
mined at Sundays session upon the
principles for the settlement of both
the German indemnity and inter-allied
debts.
The principles are that the finan-
ctal experts of the two governments
shall recommend a lump sum for the
indemnity and that the payments of
the inter-alied debts shall proceed
parallel with Germany's payments.
This arrangement is & substitute for
Premier Millerand's proposal under
which most stress was laid upon the
immediate payment of a large sum to
France. The French delegation, how
ever, appeared satisfied with the re-
suits of their mission.
The present purpose of the big
two is to present the experts plan to
the Germans at Spa.
The debt to the United States is not
embraced in the new plan, and the
government SpUhtSludu III ht44ldtCU
that this would not be possible with
out the participation of the United
States in the conference. Recognition
of Belgiums priority claims upon
Germany still stands. Tne proper
tional allotment of the German in
demnity, made eight months ago, by
which France gets So per cent and
Great Britain 25 per cent, stands, ac-
cording to the agreement.
The creditors of the al les are dis
tinct gamers by the new plan, it is
claimed, because it virtually makes
German payments toward the indem-
nifty guarantees for the inter-allied
debts.
The French consider themselves
gamers, on the one hand because it
now becomes doubly to Great Brit
aims interest to press Germany for
reparations, while Great Britain, on
the other hand, secures definite assur-
ances for repayment of her loans to
France.
Another item of gain for France OBJ
tanned from the conference is the
bargain by whichh Great Britain al
lots to France As pei cent of all coal
exported.
