that religion shall not be taught
students in any school in that
country.
! Though there are many advocates
of curtailment Of missionary work
in Japan at the convention. the
champions of even further expan-
sion won victory yesterday, when

Church here, secured passage OF a
motion in the house of deputies in.
dorsing campaign to raise $1,000
900 for the st. Luke's international
Hospital in Tokyo.
DIR. Rudolph Boiling Teus1er, di.
rector Of the hospital, referred to
the proposed curtailment as "sui.
cidal,' styling japan as the only
barrier between the United States
and Russian bolshevisl--." He fur
ther assailed retrenchment on the
ground that Japan is forever pull
ing our chestnuts out of the politi.
cal fire in China"

however, a resolution opposing com.
pulsory military education in schools .
and colleges. was presented by

tomobile.
