over from the World War drives and

hausted, the annual report disclosed
yesterday.
James L. Fieser, acting chairman.
reported yesterday this work will have
to be maintained in q year or two from

peal for q greater membership.

pended $7,4o2,0o0 from its national
treasury In ex-service work. He said
this failed to take into account the
huge sum also spent from chapter treas
urieS.
Many Tasks Remain.
while the Government" Mr.. Fieser
added, has taken over certain types
of work, first introduced by the Red
tertainment of veterans, yet many tasks
which are outside of governmental ap-
preparations remain to be performed In
veterans hospitals.
ALSO the Red Cross has made It its
especial service to the veteran to help
him prepare his claims under the COM
pensation laws, to advise him, help in
his personal problems and aid his de-
pendents, If he Is unable to earn livli-
hood. This service, when 1t Is con-
sidered that there was something in
excess of 100000 men in the World
War Army of the United States, covers
every community.

FEASIBILITY pension for World War vet
Grams, passed during the last session

This Is work which we are pledged
to do in the name of the public, which
Is the Red Cross"

TO MURDER CHARGE

Patsy Carrino Guilty !.
Of No Crime.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 11.-Ballistics-
the science Of shots-has exonerated
John Doe" Of murder.
A coroner's jury yesterday decided
that whoever slew Patsy Carrino last
September IS was guilty Of no crime.
Carrino's body had been left in front
Of hospital by two men who sped
away In an automobile. Police believed
Carrino had been assassinated.
BalliSttcs convinced the fury other
wise. The bullet taken from Carrino's
body was compared with bullet found
in the wall Of dress shop on Devon
avenue. Both bullets had been fred
from the same gun.
The deduction, upon which the fury
based its verdict, was that Carrino was
slain while robbing the dress shop, being
fired upon from across the street by
persons unknown attempting to halt the
robbery.

EPISCOPAL LEADERS
HIT MANNING'S VIEW
Meven Manhattan Congregations
Reply to Bishops Statement
That Church Is Catholic.


~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 18.-What
was interpreted as q direct answer to
the statement by Bishop william r.
Manning on October 2S that the Epis-
copal Church Is fundamentally and
definitely catholic" was made Sunday
in a statement issued to the congrega-
tions of IL Manhattan churches and
signed by their rectors and two former
rectors.
The statement said the Episcopal
Church was Protestant. It did not
mention Bishop Manning by name but
churchmen generally understood 1t to
be the answer of the party of the
church opposed to the bishops opinion.
The bishops statement was first made
during the conservation services Of Rev.
DIT. Charles K. Gilbert as suffragan
bishop in the Cathedral Of st. John the
Divine.
The statement issued Sunday set
forth that the name Of the colnmun-
ion was the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the United States Of America and
explained its issuance as due to q de-
sire to safeguard the fellowship be-
tween the Episcopal Church and all
vital elements of American Christianity.
The signers also pointed out that every
candidate for ministry IN the commune
ion must take an ordination VOW of
conformity to the doctrine, discipline
and worship Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
