(Rv ISAAC GREGGl

Washington, Jan. 20-Further
dismissals and transfers of Off
cials connected with the Veter-
ans Bureau Will be announced
within the next few days, it was
stated here today on the highest
authority.
Col. Charles r. Forbes, Direc-
tor of the Bureau is determined
that the employees under him
shall be loyal in every respect or
else they VIII have to find en-
ployment in other fields. He has
knowledge chat some of the high
er officials in his Bureau have

delmine him in the eyes of the
public and to cast discredit upon
the work which he has been do
ing in orde. to afford relief to
the veterans of the world war.
The Veterans Bureau was or
ganized for the general benefit
of service and ex-service men, F"
said Col. Forbes to the Gazette

my knowledge there has not been
a single case brought to the Bur-

High Schools Graduate
5000 Children n 1923

Richmond, Va, Jan. 20(Spe-
cial)-From preliminary reports
received from all of the standard
four year high schools of Vir-
ginia except nineteen (19, it ap-
pears that thare may be approXi-
mately 5000 graduates from ac-
credited high schools this year.
"Should this expectation hold
true" said State Superintendent
Harris Hart yesterday, "this will
represent an increase in high
school graduates over last year
OF approximately twenty-five per
cent. 1t is probably true that
the nineteen schools rot report
ing to date will supply a large
enough number of graduates to
make up for those who, during
the remainder of the year will
drop out Of the graduating
classes of the schools thus far
reporting.
Last fall about fifty-five per
cent Of the graduates of last
session continued their education
in higher institutions of learning
in Virginia and other States.
Should the same percetage Of
high school graduates continue
their training next session the
total will be 2750 students to
20 on with their studies. This
large total represents something
ike fifty per cent more than the
entire winter enrolment of the
State University, it is interesting
to note.
at is perhaps not too much
to expect a large increase in the
graduating classes of the high
schools of the State this year as
the enrolment in the high schools
has been increasing almost phe-
nomenally in recent years. For
example, the enrolment of 1921
% was approximately twenty
five per cent greater than during
the previous year. The total en-
rollment for the present session
has not yet been computed.

Women Voters to Start
With Big Program
Next Wednesday
HAS GOOD RECORD
Much progress in League
Nork During Past
,f1 Twelve Months

Wednesday is to be History
Day" of the second annual con
vention of the Virginia League of
Women Voters meeting in Alex
andria, January 2l-2G, inclusive,
and the League has d two year
record of which Virginia women
may well be proud. Immediately
following their enfranchisement
in the fall of 1920, the former
Equal Suffrage League of Nir-
ginia which had worked for eleven
years for full citizenship for wo-
men, met to disband and to make
plans for the organization of the
Virginia Branch Of the National
League of Women Voters. BY per
mission of the then Governor Of
Virginia, Westmoreland Davis,
this meeting wa held in the Hall
of the House of Delegates, State
| Capitol at Richmond. 1t was a
notable gathering, addressed by
Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president
OF the National League of Wo-
men Voters and by several pub
lice officials of the State of Viz
ginia.
The women pledged themselves
at this time to assist Other wo-
men of the cities and rural dis
tricts to become registered voters
in order to perform this right
in the November election of
that year. This assistance they
rendered by distributing informa-
ton to prospective voters, and, in
the rural districts by literally
hunting up elusive registrars,
some of whom took this occasion
to go on Il vacation or to mis-
place their books or to be general
I " difficult to locate, some even
going so far as to resign. But,
women rather like to welcome
smoothness rough and through
each rebuff which turns earth's
their efforts it was estimated
that approximately one hundred
Thousand women were registered
in the one months time pre-
ceding the closing of the books.
Meeting again at the State
Capitol, this time in the Senate
Chamber, the Virginia League Of
Women Voters was formerly or
ganized November 10, 1920. Its
first act of Statewide Importance
was to request the governor TO
appoint a commission to codify
the laws Of Virginia regarding
children. The Virginia Children's
code Commission was appointed
! in the spring of 1921, and was
composed of nine members four
OF whom were women, and thee
/ of hese officers of the Virginia
League of Women Voters. The

sent to tho Virginia. legislature

Resignation as Pastor or
RetractiOn of State
ment is Demanded
BISHOP ANGRY
DIR. Arnold Said Christ Did Not
Have Power of God" Which
Caused Great Stir-Answer in
Sermon Tomorrow.
cRy United Prcss.J


New York, Jan. 20,-Dr. Percy
St;ckney Grant in his sermon il
the Church of the Ascension to-
morrow is expected to make reply
TO the open letter of Bishop VIM
It. Manning calling on him tC
resign or retract his statement
that Christ did not have the
power OF God.
The Bishop. in his letter told
DR.. Grant that every man has a
right to freedom of thought, but
that it was not possible for him
to continue as an Episcopal Min
ister if he held beliefs con-
trary to the faith of that Church.
The letter was delivered at the
rectory of DR.. Grants Fifth Ave
nue Church of the Ascension last
night. DR.. Grant is in the midst
of preparing his Sunday sermon.
From the Bishops letter it is
apparent. that he and Dr.. Grant
conferred last Wednesday, dis
eussing the whole situation, and
that at that time DR.. Grant re-
fused to resign although request
ed to do so.
If he remains firm in his con-
tention that Christ had not the
power of God, that Churches
should not be consecrated, etc,
and refused to give up his Holy
orders, the Bishop eventually will
be forced to put him on trial for
heresy. To do this it is neces-
sary for two Episcopal ministers
to prefer charges, after which
the Bishop names a commission
to decide whether there is suffi-
cient grounds for a trial. If the
commission reports that there is,
a court is appointed, and the evid-
ence heard, the accused divine
being presented by counsel.
''lf You cannot now conscienti-
ously accept and teach the Christ
ian faith as contained in the
apostles creed, it is plain that
to hold your commission as a
minister and teacher in the
you cannot consistently continue
Protestant Episcopal Church" "
Bishop Manning wrote to Grant
in part.
"In my judgment, therefore,
you are called upon to follow one
of two courses. You should at
sion given by your recent SER
once publicly correct the impress
mon and state clearly that you
accept the faith of the Church
as set forth in the Greed or if
you DO not accept this faith, you
should voluntarily resign from
the ministry OF this Church.
This in no way restrict or
conflicts with your personal nD-
erty or your freedom of thought.
You are at liberty to teach what
ever you believe, but you are not
at liberty to deny the faith for
which the Protestant Episcopa
Church stands and at the same
time to continue as one of her
ministers.
at is incumbent upon all of US
to follow what we believe the
truth wherever it may lead us,
and if it leads you outside the
Episcopal Church, it is your duty
courageously and honestly to fol-
low it there, but so long as you
elect to remain as a minister of
this Church, loyalty to its creed
is binding obligation upon you,
If YOU DO not believe in Jesus
Christ as God ana Saviour, you
are restricting your own free
dom and injuring yourself by re-
maining in your present position.
