them to official equality with men in
the matter OF council and oversight in
the government and service of the
church"
Those opposed to any change in the
present usage in the Presbyterian
church were quoted by the commits
sion as arguing that ordination of
women would lower the dignity Of the
office. afford an excuse Tor men to
shirk their duties, retard or defeat the
union Of Presbyterian churches in the
United States, keep men from church
and countenance and accelerate a dan
gerous feministic movement
Arguments quoted in favor of the
change included statements that it
would accord with the spirit of the
age and with women's civil equality,
that women and girls composed the
majority of the membership Of the
church and did more work than the
other sex and that they were entitled
to the honors as well as the labors."
The commission declined to express
any opinion on the merits of the
question. stating that it was divided,
"a majority having expressed them
selves as conservative"

BOLSHEVISM rs NOT UN-
DERSTOOD SAYS GRAVES

Manila, May 21.-Bolshevism is a
word that is sadly misconstrued in the
United States, says Major General
William S. Graves, commander in chief
of the American Expeditionary Force,
which recently evacuated Siberia.
"At the mention of a Bolshevik the
people instantly conjure a mental pic
ture of frowzy anarchist with a
bomb in one hand and a torch in the
other" he said. "But the Bolsheviki
in Russia are working for peace and
the good Of the country. In my belief
they are trying to be eminently fair
and just to the people. They have
deplored the murder and bloodshed
which took place before they first came
into power in Siberia-January 81 of
this year-and are doing everything
possible to stamp this out"

tage occurred among drafted men than
among those who volunteered. Now,
gentlemen, I am not going to continue
in detail, but I want to give you a
| summary of facts about your army in
the, great war before I take up your
new army.
The number Of men serving in the
armed forces of the nation during the
war was 100000, of whom 1000, 900
served in the army.
OF every 100 men who served 10
were national guardsmen, IS were reg
ulars and II were in the national
army Cor would have been if the SER
vices had not been consolidated.)
OF the 100000 males in the pop
u1ation, 100000 were registered in
the draft or were already in service
nearly one-half.
In the physical examinations the
states OF the middle west made the
best showing. Country boys did better
than city boys; whites better than COL
ored and native born better than for
eign born.
There were 100000 army officers. Of
every 6 officers, i had previous mill
tary training with troops were grad
yates Of officers training camps and 2
came directly from civil life. 2,0S6, 900
men went over seas; 100000 were in
battle in France; 13 battles were fought
by American troops. Days Of battle 200.
Americans in Meuse Argonne bat
tie, 100000.
American battle deaths $4,000.
Americans wounded in war 206, 0OO
American deaths from disease $500.
Total deaths in the army 115,5OO.
Now gentlemen, I am going to tell
you a remarkable thing we learned in
the organization Of this large army-a
surprising thing of which we cannot
be proud-it was found that "a per
cent of the men indicted into the SER
vice could neither read nor write the
English language intelligently.
Think of it in this great America
with our system of public schools, sup
posedly compulsory education in near
ly every state. a great nation so dotted
with school houses, colleges and uni
versities, then to find upon Inducing
into the service 2,666.S67 men between
the ages 81 TO 81 and 12O,17 men be-
tween the ages Is to 20 and 80 to as
to find practically one man in every
four not able to read or write the Eng
ish language and a surprisingly large
number of these men totally illiterate.
Before 1917 none but an Indian could
enlist in the army unless he could
speak English and write his name.
When the Emergency Act was passed
and it was found this restriction would
debar such large percentage of the
men physically fit for service, it was
swept away.
The illiterate and nom English
speaking were taken in and taught
our language before they were taught
anything else.
Thousands thus got a veneer ;, of

PRESBYTERIANS
DEBATE WOMEN
OPINION is DIVIDED AS TO THEIR
ADMISSION TO MINISTRY AND
REFERENDUM BE TAKEN.

Philadelphia, May 21.-Admission OF
women to ordination as ruling elders
of the Presbyterian church is ques-
ton that will be submitted to refer
endum vote Of the entire denomlna-
ton in the United States if the recon-
mendation of a commission which has
been studying the subject for the past
year is approved by the Presbyterian
General Assembly which opens its an
nual sessions here tonight.
A survey, taken by the commission
on the Official Relation of Women in
the Church, in which the opinions of
leading ministers, elders and women
was obtained, led it's members to these
conclusions:
THAT the Scriptures did not forbid
either women elders or women preach
ers; that three other denominations
ordain women to the ministry but that
few women avail themselves Of the
privilege; that four other denomina-
tons did not have women preachers
and are not inclined to have them;
that the evidence shown is favorable
to women as elders but unfavorable to
women as minister's; that of the Pres
byterians canvassed 60 per cent ia
vored women as elders, 48 per cent
per cent opposed any change in the
present usage of the church"
An elder in the Presbyterian church
occupies a spiritual office but does
not preach. He assists the minister
in his religious duties and, as a pres
byter, is a member of the governing
body Of the church endowed with the
function, among others, of maintain
ing denominational doctrine and adj
ministering discipline. For centuries
the office has been filled exclusively
by men.
Last year, three Presbyteries, it was
said, made oyertures to the General
Assembly. One from the Presbytery
of Columbia river asked that women
be made eligible to ordination both as
ministers and ruling elders. Another
from the Presbytery of Dallas, Tex,
asked that a committee be appoint
ed to investigate the whole question
of enlarged opportunities for women
in the church and the Presbytery of
Saginaw Mich, urged that they be or
dained as ruling elders. The Moder-
ator thereupon appointed a commits
sion to inquire and report, composed
of the Rev. S. Hall Young, chairman,
the Rev. Edgar w. Work and Rush
Taggart, all of New York, the Rev.
Willis Barrett of Bellfontaine, O., and
John T. Manning, of New Haven, Conn.
The commission said it found that
the Methodist Protestant, the Congre-
gational and the Christian Churches
ordain women to the ministry but few
avail themselves of the privilege. Four
other denominations, khe Luthernns,
Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist
Episcopal it was said, do not have
women preachers nor does there seem
to be any particular inclination in
these churches to accord them this
office.
TN practically all of these seven
churches" said. the report, women
are admitted to every other official
position in the church, except the
ministry. They serve on official boards

MILAN, Nov. THE Italian For
eign Minister Sforza, and the War
Minister, Bonomi, arrived at Rapallo
yesterday to confer on the Adriatic
problem with the Jugo-Slav delegates,
Trumbitch, Nashnitch and Stojaro-
witch. The Italian Cabinet members
we're accompanied by General Acton
and the general staff officer and Off
cials of the Rome photographic sec
ton, which leaves the impre ssion that
the discussion between the representa-
tives of the two countries will be a
PROLONGED one.
Premier Giolitti is delaying his ar
rival until the discussion reaches q
satisfactory point, as he has already
agreed with Count Sforza to limit the
discussion to a few main issues, re-
fusing to reopen the discussion from
the old Jugo-Siav standpoint and basing
his position upon the original London
agreement between Italy and. the
Entente
If the Rapallo meeting fails to bring
about an agreement, it is understood
that Italy intends to take matters into
her own hands
Count Sforza, in recent interview,
admitted that the discussion, contrary
to expectations, would be of a serious
nature. The Fiume and Ontenavoso
questions are not slated for discussion
at present but it is said that italy
IS prepared to make concessions, pro-

Distributed Broadcast by

Seaman Admits Practice
Facts Revealed at Trial Of
Ex-Prisoner Charged With
Violating Sullivan Law

Certain justices in Nassau County
have been carrying on thriving bust
ness by selling broadcast permits to
carry revolvers according to testimony
before Judge Wadhams in the Court of
General Sessions yesterday.
Frank P. Seaman, a justice at Mine
ola, told the court that frequently he
has signed six or seven blank permits,
which were given to a special police
man for the Long Island Railroad. Ex-
amined by Chief Assistant District At
torney Alfred j. Talley, Seaman said he
was sure that he hadn't issued as many
as eighteen permits on one day, as al
legged, but that he might have signed
ten permits.
Talley read the names Of number
OF former convicts who were said to
have received permits signed by Jus
tlce Seaman. Seaman said that when
ne found that permits had been issued
TO persons whose character was not of
the best he revoked them.
Taliey asserted that in the wide
spread and ind iscriminate issuance of
revolver permits in Nassau County
authority TO carry deadly weapons had
been granted to crooks, hold-up men.
burglars and other desperate charac-
ters. Seaman, however, in defending
his action. said that he took it for
granted that his agent was giving them
only to persons of good standing in the
community.
Talley explained that the permits
are good in the entire state He added {:
1T is impossible to protect good
citizens when officials issue permits
that fall into the hands Of hold-up men
and crooks. 1t is very serious situa-
tlon when so many crimes of violence
are being committed to find that a
law designed to correct these crmes
is not being observed. The Legislature
should amend the law to provide that
no judge in the state shall issue a
permit to anyone not resident OF the
county IN which he has jurisdiction. "
The evidence against the justices was
revealed in the case of Harry Trone, of
125 Madison Street. Trone. who has
served several terms in prison, pleaded
guilty October 25 to violation of the
Sullivan law. Later he asked permis-
sion 20 change his plea and produced
a permit, which he said ne had found

signed by Justice Seaman. but Trones
