for the erection of splendid new

ed by Elder j. A. Barrett, who has
just completed most successful re

During ithe splendid meeting just

of faith. So pleased was the congre-

that he was Immediately engaged for a
second meeting to begin in April.
For the past several years the First

lied that some provisions, must be
made to take care of this increase.
1t is planned to have the new church

BRITISH, FEARING U. s.
 VIEW, DROP 18-IN. GUN

London, Aug. 24.-Officia1 particu- lars of the four battle cruisers that are to be built for the British navy this year have now been made public by the Admiralty. The details con- firm those published in the New York Herald on July II, when it was stated that the new ships would carry 16- Inch guns, all other reports having credited them with a 15-inch battery.
 The decision to adopt the 16-inch guns was taken last year. It was originally proposed to mount an ar mament of six or eight 1S-inch guns. and the naval. staff, headed by Earl Beatty and Admiral Chatfie1d. fought hard to get the bigger weapons. They feared that the introduction of 1S-' inch guns might be construed as a challenge by other powers, especially the United States, and would lead to outspoken competition in naval arIna- ments.
 That is the real reason why the 16- inch gun-a calibre hitherto unknown in the British navy, except the old ships built 30 years ago-was chosen for the new battle cruisers.
 The new gun, it is understood, is virtually identical with tn American 16-inch piece in range and power, ex- cept that it will fire heavier shell. Experimental guns of this calibre were built last year, and three, mounted in a triple turret temporar- fly installed on the monitor Lord Give, were tried out against the for mer German dreadnought Baden. They proved extraordinarily power ful, their projectiles, weighing over one ton each. punching great holes in the 15-inch armor of the Baden and exploding inside the ship with terrific force.
 A further test, both of the 16-inch gun and the triple turret projected for the new battle cruisers, is to be made this month against the Aga memnon, a 16.500 tan battleship. This vessel, in whose cabin the Turkish armistice was signed three years ago, has been equipped for control by long range wireless in a manner similar to that of the U. S. s. Iowa
 English Channel her crew removed, and there made to steam at varying speeds on a zigzag course while under of the firing will be at long range to test the effect on a well armored ship of shells descending at steep angle
 As the new battle cruisers are to apiece they will be the most heavily armed ships of their type in the world, all preceding battle cruisers having an armament limited to eight big guns. On the other hand, their speed is not expected to be more than 2S to 30 knots. They will, however, have very thick armor plating on sides and decks, together with torpe- doproof bulges and a great amount of internal subdivision, making them more or less unsuitable by underwa- ter explosion.
 They are a compromise between battleship and battle cruiser, embody- ing all the good qualities of both in a modified form. One of the hitherto secret features of the design is the large oil capacity, which will enable the ships to steam at high speed from England to Singapore without refuel- ing. The contracts will stipulate for delivery before the end of 1924

MILE. LENGLEN KEPT
 ID ROOM BY ILLNESS

New York, Aug. 25-MlIe. Suzanne Lenglen continued yesterday in a nstless and coughing condition that kept her indoors. The face of the French, girl, as she lay in an easy chair, unwilling to speak less she in crease the difficult breathing and coughing that is delaying her from the courts, was full of sorrow and disappointm ment.
 Her physician has decided that the bronchial affliction which swept down on her with such suddenness during her match with Mrs. Mallory last week is a return of a chronic "hay fever Cor one of it's mysterious brethren) which she has experienced mildly in France since she was a child The inhospitable climate of New York and the nervous tension of her trip has accentuated this weakness to con- siderable degree of illness, according to her friends, who are allowing no one to talk with her.
 Every one in her party insists that the young star will win her determ1- nation to get back to the courts and her schedule of exhibition games over the United States. She is very low spirited over her present setback, put she refuses to consider giving up her trip In this her associates stand with her. M

EDITOR-PASTOR LAUDSl
 SHORT PETTICOl
Declares Women's Mode Garments Are Not Inl modest -Scoffs at Ancient Styles.

Boston, Aug 24-Some cIergymen are endorsing the short skirts and scanty costumes of the modern woman and do not agree with many of the profession who claim that modern dresses are immodest.
 Among the champions of the mod ern dress is the Rev. c. C. Morrison, editor of the Christian Century, of Chicago, who spent part of his vaca- ton in New England.
 @sThe garments of women are far more sensible and hea1thfuI than ever before,'' he said. They leave the body a freedom which only sensibfy- -habited women of the Orient can approach.
 fsMatter of Costume.'
 'sAS for the exposure of limb or outline, this is a matter of costume to which the public soon becomes habituated- The exposure Of the arms, shoulders and limbs is by no means to be regarded as a sign of moral Iaxity.
 'It is the conduct and bearing of a girl or woman that determines the impression she makes and not the style of the apparel.
 '<Women'S dress century ago was absurdly long, inflated and cunber- some, and their manner of dressing was more immodest than the present costumes.
 sThe older style permitted an ex- posture of shoulder and bosom which E even the present so-called extreme style would eXclude.2
