Comment on removal of the Russian

Exporters lack comprehensive and

to the extent to which the BOlshevist

EPISCOPALIAN CARES SELF IN
 GREEK ROBES

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 23 (by Associated Press) An American Episcopal bishop, the Rt. Rev. James Henry Darlington of Harrisburg, Pa., donned the robes of the Orthodox Greek patriarch and sat in the sat in the seat in the Greek church of dignitary at a religious service here recently. He was accompanied by Admiral Bristol, the American high commissioner, Mrs Bristol and a number of the attaches of the Amer ican embassy.
 Bishop Darlington is making tour of the Near East for the purpose of establishing closer relations between the Episcopal church in America and the Eastern Orthodox and Old Cath ollie churches. He is chairman of a commission delegated to confer with the eastern churches and was invit- ed by the Greek patriarch to occupy his pulpit. Bishop Darlington wore his customary Episcopal robe and was much surprised when the Greek Pa triarch removed his own elaborate robe, together with the insignia of the head, of the Greek church and insisted upon Bishop Darlington wearing them while he told the dis tinguished congregation of the desire of the American church for closer cooperation with the eastern church es. At the conclusion of the ser vice a reception was held in the par ish house at which Admiral Bristol was asked to speak and expressed his satisfaction at the cordial relations between Greece and the United States, relations which he hoped might become even closer as a result of the drawing together of the church es in the East and West. Bishop Darlington is accompanied by his son the Rev. H. P: Darlington of St, Barnabas church, Newark, N. J., and the Rev. Lewis Nichols of Lock Hay en, Pa.

POLITICAL ECONOMY IS

 BY JAPANESE EDUCATOR

TOXIC, Aug. 23 (by Associated Press).-At the request of the presi- dent of the Philippine university, the Tokio Imperial university is sending Dr. Niichiro Natsunami, professor of the university law college, to the islands to lecture on Japanese polit- ical organization.
 In an interview Dr. Matsunami said that some of his personal Filipino friends, writing recently, expressed their desire for lectures touching on such subjects, also on Loyalty to the Imperial Throne" and "Genro or Elder Statesmen"
 He added: "I am quite at a loss how best to explain Genro to the Fili- pinos. It requires a great deal of pru- dence and discretion, I am aware, to lecture in the Philippines on such a subject as the political organization of Japan. So far as I know the Filipinos are quite anxious for an independent government. I am going to deliver my lectures with every consciousness, of my delicate position"

DELEGATES ID PARIS MEETING
 DINED LONDON

LONDON, Aug. 23 (by Associated Press) American delegates who at tended the recent meeting of the h. ternational Chamber of Commerce were entertained here at luncheon by the Association of British Cham bers of Commerce.
 E. Manyille, member of parliament, said that return visit of British business men to the United States had been arranged for autumn with a veiw to promoting the cooperation of the English speaking peoples.
 Albert J. Hobson, who presided, in proposing the health of the guests, said the war had demonstrated that never again could the United States pretend that they were not con- cerned with European politics. In such circumstances it was most de- sirable that representative business men of the two countries should meet to discuss those things which were most likely to lead to friction. Amer jeans had convinced Englishmen of the necessity of getting alongside of them, and having done so they did not intend to let go but intended to know and understand Americans better
 L. E. Gillette, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, said the Americans had come to this country to see how they could best meet the wants of the Allies in raw materials, increase production, inn proved exchange and in other ways. He added that 600,O0O men repre- senting the intellect and energy of the United States believed that by mutual help and by correlated ef fort they would be able to travel far on the same road with the British people.
