Notable Falling Of In Number Of
Recruits Constitutes a Serious
Problem

New York. Dee 23.-The Episcopal

real problem through the steady de-
crease in the number Of recruits for
the ministry. commission appointed
to investigate the subject, declared in
the report made today. This situa-
ticn, the commission stated, is more
grave than seems to be the case with
other religious bodies.
In the diocese of New York. where.
in the fifties there was one minister
for every 491 communicants. the COM
mission found today that there was
only one minister for every 1928.
The report, made by Rev. Or. Geo.
BarthelL of Philadelphia, Dean Fos-
broke of the general seminary, New
York, and Rev. DR.. Harry Nichols. 1t
showed that on a general average
throughout the Episcopal church. the
ratio OF ministerial recruits to com.
municants annually was l to 2,251.
1t was shown that today there was
an excess OF 1877 stations over the
net number of clergy available to fill
them, and attention is drawn to The
TACT that approximately 40 per cent
81 the new ministers ordained in the
Episcopal church in the last ten
years have come from Methodist,
Presbyterian. or Baptist denomina-
tions. and not from the Episcopal
church.

Eastern Question Still
In Allegiance But Solu-
ton Is Expected Arms
Conference Will Con
tinue Its Work For Sew
eral Days Before
Breaking Up

Washington, Dec. 23.-(By the As.
sociated Press.)-A further exchange
of views on the British proposal for
abolition of the submarine was ex-
pected at today's session of the full
naval committee of the arms confer
ence unless the French delegates
were prepared to go ahead with their
delayed presentation of estimates of
auxiliary craft desired by France un-
der the naval reduction program. Fin
al instructions from Premier BRAND
were still awaited by the French rep
resentatives late yesterday after an
nOuncing the naval committee ses-
sion that they were unprepared to
present their auxiliary tonnage fig
ures.
While the position taken by the
spokesmen for France, Italy and ia
pan about the abolition of the subma-
rine and an indication of like stand
by the United States following Great
Britain's plea for its abolition at yes
terday's session apparently sealed the
fate of the proposal, there still re-
manned to be considered the move
ment for an understanding for the
limitation of the operations of under
water craft.
This was supported by the repre-
sentatives of all the powers in the
discussion of the British proposals
yesterday and the British delegates
were prepared to participate in that
as an alternative to total abolition of
the submarine. They indicated, how
ever, that they would first carry their
fight for banishing the submarine to
an open session.
The delay in the presentation of
tne French auxiliary tonnage figures
caused considerable significance to be
attached today to foreign news dis
patches saying that Mr.. BRAND said
he felt he must consult with the
French cabinet before making definite
answer to messages from Washing
ton. The nature of the cable ex-
changes in progress yesterday was
not revealed, but they appeared to be
OF an important nature and the de-
yelopment was generally regarded as
greatly diminishing the chances for
an agreement on auxiliary craft for
several days. In some quarters it was
viewed as a possible indication tha
some new issue of major importance
had arisen.
