cause 1t was to this church that Anna Shaw went for ordination when the Methodist Episcopal church refused her license. After a stormy contro- versy she was ordained by the New York Conference. In 1884 their gen eral conference held this action un- constitutional. But in this the states have a considerable measure of au thority. Some went on and ordained women, some objecting. The climax came when in 1892 the Rev. Eugenia St. John was sent as ministerial delegate from Kansas, and two wom- en lay delegated with her. There was a sharp division over seating these women in the general conference in which the women won out. In 1900 Dr. Lee Anna Starr was seated as a ministerial delegate and asked to preach before the whole general con- ference A few conferences still re- fuse to ordain women but in most cases they have equal rights.
 "The Salvation Army recognized sex equality from the very beginning. The founders, William and Catherine Booth, were both great preachers and most of their eight children became preachers. One of them. Evangeline Booth. is commander of the Army in America today. During the war cer- tain organizations gave definite or ders that no women be permitted to do their religious work. It is of in- terest to note that the organization of which the men at the front speak with warmest praise is this one whose highest officer is woman, and in which women are more largely used for religious work than any other
 The liberal churches, Unitarian and Universalist, ordain women. The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written by Unitarian minister, Julia Ward Howe"

WOMEN PREACHERS
 TO HOLD SESSION
Annual Assembly to Be Held at
 Indiana August 15

Winfield, Kens., Aug. 14. (By the Associated Press)-The attitude wom. en preachers should take on the prob lems of the day and the status ot women in the various religious de. nominations, will be among the oues- tions discussed at the annual assem- bly, of the International Associa ton of Women Preachers at Winona Lake, Ind, Aug. 15-17. 1t was announced to- day by the Rev. M Madeline South ard, president.
 Rev. MT. Southard will address the convention on "A Sphere Or Hem isphere." and other speakers will in- clude Dr. Lee Anna Starr. Dr. Sara B. Wise, the Rev. Lida Herrick and Rev. Carolyn Hosford.
 The assembly will discuss the status of women in all the denomina- tions, her place in preaching, in coun- sel, in administration and methods of opening desirable positions in church work to young women so that they will not of necessity be drawn off into other fields" Rev. southard said.
 Laymcn Welcome.
 The sessions will be open to lay men and clergy alike. 1t was stated. Credit was given to the Society of Friends (Quakers) for what was termed its advanced position on sex equality, by Rev Southard In dis cussing the progress of women in the various religious denominations.
 hTho Cnpiafv Al ErtAn6e UhiN h arose in England almost three hun dred years ago took the amazing stand that there should be sex equality" she said NO church has had so large a proportion of preaching wom- en. Women were the first Friends preachers in London, Oxford, Cam bridge and in America. They were among the early martyrs of the church. Perhaps we owe women suf- frage indirectly to the Friends. Susan B. Anthony was reared in the tenets of that church and accustomed to freedom of women. When she found that in educational and even temper ance meetings women were supposed to keep silence her wrath was aroused-and the end was the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 Women Aid Much.
 The Disciples of Christ and the Christian church with headquarters at Dayton, Ohio, has always given opportunity for women to preach. Some of its women were preaching

BRITISH DESTROY
 OLD BAT7LESH|PS
Are Using Scrapped Vessels as
 Targets for Gun Practice

1 London, Aug. 14.-Having found no buyers for the great group of bat tleships which the Washington con- ference decreed should be scrapped Great Britain is using the monsters as targets for the gunners of the Royal Navy and the hombers of the Royal Air Force. Like the United States and France. this country has dozen or more specially fine cruis- CTS and one time dreadnaughts which must be relegated to the ignominious junk pile.
 Thunderer, Monarch, Conqueror l Colossus, Lion, Ajax, Centurion. King George V, Princess Royal, Erin and Orion. monsters of 10000 or more tons, once the pride of the Seven Seas are all doomed Costing more than 5000, ,oo0 originally, junk dealers have offered the government only s2o,0o0 apiece for them.
 The navy is now engaged in a series of target tests on the famous bat tleships Agamemnon and Superb, which, like their sister ships are to find their graves in the ocean at the hands of the gunners and jack tars that once manned them. The ad- niralty is trying by these tests to de- termine how a direct hit can be pre- vented from passing from the turret down the ammunition tube.
 In the battle of Jutland, Invincible Indefatigable and Queen Mary blew up because of a flash passing from the ammunition tube to the maga- zines below. So Superb is now in the English Channel and is being shelled at punishing ranges to see whether or not the flash of explo- sion passes down to the powder and shell magazines under given condi- tions
 Take Motion Pictures. ...
 Agamemnon, too, may soon need a successor She is moving target, more difficult to hit than Superb, which is stationary. She is propelled by oil. The supply of oil is turned on, her engines are started, and the engineers fee from her before she gathers too much headway. Her speed as well as her steering appar- atus are controlled by wireless in an- other ship
 The most exciting part of these tests is that played by the sloop Snapdragon. She is responsible for taking accurate motion pictures of what happens to the target as the re- suit of the shots. At times she runs the risk of being hit by the monster armor- pierciig projectiles as well as being rammed by the 2o,1o0-ton Aga memnon.
