Sir Oliver Lod &c,
Pleased at Tour,
Sails for England
Scientist to Devote Himself
to Mathematical Physics
in Hope of Solving Mys-
terry of Atomic Energy

Sir Oliver Lodge, the famous British
scientist, who has been lecturing in
this country for three months on the
ether of space, communication with the
spirits of the dead and kindred sub
jects in psychology, returned to Eng
land yesterday on the White Star liner
Celtic, satisfied with the success of his
tour of the United States.
II have been deeply impressed" he
said, "by the widespread interest in
psychical research in the country and
equally so with the thorough study
that so many persons are devoting to
the subject"
Sir Oliver said he had encountered
much criticism, but this was natural
and no more than he expected when he
came here.
81 myself believe in spirit commu-
nication," he said, "but l do not urge
others to accept this truth until they
have proved it for themselves. l have
been asked much about the ouija
now. The board will assist in COM
munication with the spirits of those
who have passed on, but those who use
it could get assistance equally as well
with other agents of communication
Sir Oliver said that on his return to
Great Britain he would give the greater
part of his time to mathematical
physics, and expressed belief that ne
would be able to solve the great
mystery of atomic energy.
Among others on the Celtic were
Miss Alice A De Lamar, Miss Helen
Clay Frick, Charles w. Bowring, Mrs
F. w. Woolworth and Mrs. Albert A
Douglas.
The Cunard liner Carmania, which
left port yesterday for Liverpool with
1900 passengers, carried in her strong
room 100000 worth of silver bullion

Presbyteries May
Quit Interchurch
800 Million Drive
Expenditures Criticized by
Seattle Organization as
Destructive; Disapprova1
for New Era Movement

Criticism of the Presbyterian New
Era Movement and the Interchurch
World Movement by the presbyteries
of Pittsburgh, Seattle, Chillcothe,
Ohio, St. Louis and Philadelphia, and
a recommendation that the Presbyteri-
an Church withdraw from the $780,
100000 drive will be heard at the an
nual meeting of the Presbyterian Gem
eral Assembly in Philadelphia next
week. This was announced here yes
terday by j, B. Wootan, publicity d.
rector for the Presbyterian Church in
the United States.
The Seattle Presbytcry, in its critl-
ment, he said, declares that "the ex-
penditures of the Interchurch World
Movement are excessive, needless and
destructive, as evidenced by its large
costs of rental, its great multitude OF
employees, it's numerous and expensive
conferences and its excessive cost in
publishing and distributing printed
matter, etc. all of which assumes to
involve to the extent of $1,0O0,00O. in
addition to its normal administration
expenses, the boards and authorized
agencies Of the Church"
1t also expresses its disapproval Of
The Presbytery of Cincinnati, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wootan, will ask for q
review of the Church executive COM
mittees action in entering the Inter
church World Movement, q request ap-
proved by the presbyteries of Erie,
Penn; McAlester, Okla; Grand Rap
ids, Mich; Logansport, Ind, and Day
ton, Ohio.
Seattle, supported by the presby-
teries of Riverside, Cal; Dayton, Ohio;
Columbia, N. Y; McAlester, Okla;
Fort Wayne, Ind, and Baltimore, he
said, declares that "the new era COM
mittee would be more effective and er-
ticient If its operations we're under the
immediate direction of the boards of
the Presbyterian Church."
DR.. William Hiram Foulkes,- general
secretary of the New Era Movement,
will present report of the work ac-
complished during the year which. it
was said, would be constructive an
swer to much of the criticism of that
body. The movement was designed, it
was said, "to put through a combined
budget for all of the Church boards
and in other ways to coordinate the
work of the PRESBYTERIAN Church {"

Depends Upon Success of

Who will play Pied Piper with the

the children from the slums next sum-
mer?
Chant dirge of children
Moping In tho street,
Snatching dangerous pleasure
Meath tho horses feet.
Making pies of garbage,
Sailing ships in mud.
Lisplng loathsome language,
Cankered In the bud;
SO bereft of impulse
BY their prison gray
That their teachers have TO
Teach them how to play.
Sing of their redemption!
May their freedom come!
May some new Pied Piper
Lure them from the stunt
May the city's millions
Natures lost brigade
Seek once more the Mother
From whose heart they straycd;
Then shall stunted children,
ScOrning street and lane,
Tread the ancient measure
Natures old refrain.
John j. Murphy. in Tho DeIineator.

Sunbeams Join i'm
Tribute Paid Here
To Joan of Arc
Celebration Held at Foot of
Statue of Maiden Saint
ON Drive; Blessing Given
by Archbishop Haye s

Joan Of Arc, the maiden Saint" was
honored in celebration which took
place yesterday afternoon at the foot
Of the Joan Of Arc Statue on Riverside
Drive at Ninety fourth Street. Al
though the official canonization of the
heroine of France will take place in
Rome to-day, New York's celebration
was none the less impressive for be-
ing a bit prema turc.
Its moment of inspiration came when
the sun broke through the storm clouds
over the Hudson, lighting up the bronze
figure of the cir! saint and sending
rainbow lights through the drops of
water which flashed from the hands OF
Archbishop Hayes, as he blessed the
statue in the name Of the Church.
A diminutive Joan Of Arc in gleam-
ing silver armor assisted in the patri-
otic ceremonies, leading quaint lit
tie procession in historic costume. Joan
was Miss Gladys Carlin; Marion Hagan
represented Columbia and Margaret
Convoy the Republic Of France. All
the children we're from the Holy Name
School and St. Gregory's School.
The battleship Pennsylvania doomed
a salute during the ceremony. In the
evening the same battleship and the
Utah and Arizona played lights on the
flower -decked statue.
Archbishop Hayes in his address
warned the women of the present age
not to take pattern after Joan OF Arc
to the extent of going to war, but
rather to emulate her piety and patriot
ism in the home. !,
"May the contribution of sanity
womanhood be the greatest blessing to
our country" he said, mo matter what
affects the minds of men nor how
much they are torn by economic cues
tions. If our women delicate their
souls to God and their hea =; are right
they will be the salvation of the
nation.
",b,an of Arc represents what women
can do, not on the battlefield, but in
the home, the school and the church,
wherever woman ennobles man and all
his aspirations"
Addresses were made by Francis
Dawson Gallatin, Commissioner of
Parks, and DR.. George Frederick Kunz,
president of the Joan of Arc Statue
Committee. A gold plaquette designed
by the sculptor of the monument, Miss
Anna Vaughn Hyatt, has been sent by
the committee to Pope Benedict XIV
and copies Of the same medal were
presented by DR.. Kunz to Archbishop
Hayes and others who participated in
the ceremonies.
The last event of the celebration was
the flight of twenty-five army carrier
pigeons, carrying the greetings of the
society to Cardinal Gibbons and Sec
retary of War Baker.
