Paris, Oct. 18—Every act of Vice Admiral Du Fouraet, commander of the allied fleet in Greek waters, respecting control of the Greek ad- ministration has been by direction of the allies’ governments, it is explained here, with the sole object of safe- ‘gunrding the communications of the | entente armies on the Macedonian | front. According .to the view ex- | pressed here, the safety of the en- | tente armies, now fully occupied in | the campa#fh against the Bulgarians, | has been imperiled by what are re- | parded as the pro-German leanings of the king, the cabinet and the coun- manders of the army and navy. Such offers as King Constantine re- cently made to join the allies were not trusted. It was felt that to ac- cept them might have been to arm and finance a potential enemy, for the king's offers were alwa tioned -upon_ being amply supplied with' money and fighting equipment. About on-quarter of the Greek army’s fighting material recently was surrendered to the Bulgarians, and it is regarded by the allies as unwise to provide more equipment and pay tor the troops. The French press is deeply im- pressed by King Constantine’s order of the day to the crews of the Greek battleships taken over by the allies. The Matin says: “Kin. Conps.antine in a public speech affirms his antipathy to the entente. * - * * We must look the fact in the face and not allow our- the friend of the enemy.” The Peut Parisien says: “All doubt is at an end. of Greece is against the entente.

DRIFT 10 HUGHES, SRS ATKINSON Spea;.ker Who Has Covered Western States Says Senti- ment Is Crystallizing. S TREFZ TO MAKE TALKS (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb.,, Oct./18.—(Special.) —There is an unmistakable drift of sentiment, toward Charles E. Hughes, according to Dent Atkinson, as peaker from Montana who has been spending considerable. timé speaking over-the western part of the country, and for six weeks connected with re- publican headquarters “in Chicago. Mr. Atkinson s here and will spend the ‘rest of the week in Gage county. He is a forceful speaker and sees nothing but the election 'of Hughes - in _November, Having traveled over 15,000 miles in speaking in different parts of the country, he has had a chance to see sentiment as it exists. Speaking further on the matter of | the electure of Hughes, Mr. Atkinson said to J. V. Craig of the speakers’ bureau: ¥ Hughes is Certain. “Charles Evans Hughes will be relected president of the United States. | “There are a number of reasons | that will contribute to the" defeat of | Mr. Wilson. “He has not kept us out of war, but has képt peace out of Mexico. “He has dallied With life and prop- | erty of our citizens until our flag is dispised in almost every great hation | of the world. | “He has used his great office for .a partisan end. | “His administration has been the | mogt extravagant in history.” - Trefz Will Talk. Edward F. Trefz, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Uniteq States, is another speaker who will make a few speeches in this state. Mr. Trefz makes a big dent in demo- cratic hopes whereever he talks and believes there is little chance for Wil- son to secure a re-election.

St. Louis, Oct. 18—~Women were | denied equal rights with men in two| actions taken today by the house of | bishops of the Protestant Episcopal general convention in session here. A proposal to permit women to sit as delegates in the general convention was rejected, while a request from Rt. Rev. Logan H. Roots, bishop of Han- kow, to be allowed to permit women to membership in his advisory coun- cil was denied. The house suggested to the bishop of Hankow, it was stat- ed, that he might create an auxiliary council of woman. The-proposal to give women equal rights with men in the convention was sponsored by Robert H. Gardi- ner of Gardiner, Me. / Wl Go to Bishops. A similar resolution is now on the calendar of the house of depyuties, and it was pointed out today's %iction in the upper house does not preclude its being discussed in the lower body. Since concurrence of the two houses is .necessary, in the event that the house of deputies should approve the | proposal it will go to the house of bishops for reconsideration. The view of bishops, which also considered changes recommended in the communioen service by the com- mission on the book of common prayer, will suggest in its report to the Mouse of deputics that the ten commandments/ be printed in the prayerbook in both their shortened form and in their full form, and that clergymen be given optional use of either in the service, it was said. The commission had recommended that five of the commandments be shortened as read in the communion service by the elimination of the rea- sons. Wants Washington Prayer. | Efforts to_ have the prayer ~of George Washington, uttered upon the occasion of his laying down the su- prévie céamand of the federal armies, adopted and substituted for the pres- ent prayer “for our country™ in the book of comnion prayer were inaugu- rated in the house of deputies by Ro- land S. Morris of Philadelphia. Mr. Morris introduced a resolution which rdsulted in a prayer which had been recommended by the commission on the prayerbook, being recommitted to the commission with the suggestion that it consider the Washington prayer. This pleads for “God's holy protection for the United States, obedience for its citizens, for their brotherly affection for each other, particularly for their brethren who have served fn the field, and that God will dispose us to do justice, mercy and charity.” The prayer suggested by the com- mission asked that “our:land be blessed *with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners.” Tt also asks that we be savad from “vio- lence, discord and confusion; from pride and arrogance,” and thaf our liberties be defended and our unity preserved. Z Agree on Minor Changes. Discussion of the revision of the evening prayer was concluded today, a number of minor changes Dbeing agreed upon. In the main these looked toward a greater liturgical flexibility and the droppinkg of archaic phrases, enabling the clergy to adapt the service either to the ordered worship of a metro- politan cathedral or to that of a fron- tier mission. Discussion of new prayers resulted in the approval of one for state legislatures and another for courts of justice. The house of deputies confirmed | the election of Rev. James Wise of | St. Louis as coadjutor bishop of Kansas. Establishment of a permanent church publicity bureau “because of the increasing dependency of the church upon the press,” was urged in a resolution adopted by the house of deputies. To become effective the res- olution must be approved by the Louse of hishops. The bureau, according to the plan| announced, is to study means of get- ting the co-operation of the news-| papers of the country in carrying on the work of the churches. In present- | ing the resolution, together with the| report of the joint committee on press ! and publicity, Francis L. Stetson of | w York asserted that the church is| under the greatest obligation to the press.

Who is th FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH UNITED STATES Bishop Tucker Tells Only Pos- sible Way Whereby Japan Would Start Trouble. INCLINED TO CHRISTIANITY St. Louis, Mo., Oct, 18—Japanese people feel that the best interests of their country depend on the preserva- tion. of friendly relations with the United States, Right Rev. H. St. George Tugker, bishop of Kioto, told delegates to the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church to- day, He spoke at a joint session of the two houses, comprising the con- vention, reviewing the scope _and methods of the ¢hurch’s foreign mis- sion work, 2o “I have had large opportunitics for meeting Japanese of all classes,” said the bishop, “and I have never heard the opinion that there is any essential conflict between the interests of Japan and America expressed. “The only possible cause for trouble would be in a conviction on the part of the Japanese that they were being unjustly discriminated against and their national honor involved. Then in regard to the question of the im- migration of the Japanese in this country, the Japanese government has shown willingness to meet the wishes of the United States by a so-called gentleman's agreement. It has un- dertaken to prevent further emigra- tion of Japanese to America and stat- istics show that in_ the last few years it carried o this agreément. All Japan asks is fair, undiscriminating treatment of Japanese at present resi- | dents of America. Christianity is Gaining. Bishop Tucker asserted occidental life anJ thought is'penetrating the countries of the orient in an ever-in- creasing volume and said the purflose of Christianity there is to see that the people receive not only the ma- terialistic and intellectual side of our civilization, but also ‘its idealistic side, “While the Japanese, whose think- ers-realize that some form of religion is essential to safeguard the moral life of the people,” the bishop said, “are not yet persuaded that Christian- ity is best fitted to meet their need, our progress in Japan gives every reason to believe that in the Tuture the people will recognize its value,” Speaking of China, Bishop Tucker asserted that Christian missionaries in that country have done much to amelorate social eonditions by build- ing hospitals, establishing medical schools and encouraging the Chinese to study modern ;medical methods. “One large effect of Christian l_ni:y sionary work lies in removing. mis- iinderstandings, promoting a better appreciation on the part of eastern people-of the attitude of the western nations,” he continued. “There seems to be in this country a fecling that the development of Japanese interests in China constitute a peril to the United States. 1 do not fecl this to be the case, and cgrtainly, as natives become Christians, the peril will be diminished.” Results of the Work, As a result of Christian missionary work in the east, Bishop Tucker :qud,. there are fully organized Christian churches in China and Japan, with large memberships, doing effective social work. He cited s a type of the communicants the }»rsl speaker of the Imperial Diet of Japan, who held office until his\death. Today's joint session, over which Right Rev. Fi\ R. Graves, bishop of Shanghai, presided, was to be devoted to a conference on “What is this church trying to do in its work abroad?” T'he house of bishops infornied the house of deputies that it had received a request from Huysha Wolcott Yeal ntan-Biggs, bishop of Worcester, Eng- land, asking for an expression of opinion as to when the next Lambeth conference could be held and that | they had fixed 1919 as a possible year. | he On Traine, at Hotels, News Stands. efc., 5c. e Knocker? ' WILSON SPURNS ~ YOTES OF MANY “Hyphenated Democrats” Not | at All Pleased ' With the Situation. A A LANG'S POSITION (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Oct. 18, — (Special.) — “Woodrow Wilson did not say enough when he announced that he did not want the vote of any hyphenated Ger- man-American,” said A. A, Lang, a well-known Lincoln democrat, today, “and he should have gone further and’ added that neither did he waut the vote of any hyphenated democrat” Mr, Lang is not at all pleased with the attitude of the Mullen-Hitcheock- Neville conglomeration at the present time. “They have insulted William J. Bri'nn time and time again,” con- tinued Mr. Lang. 'Any man who sup- ported Mr. Bryan at the last primary was dubbed undemocratic and Mr, Bryan was tagged as undemocratic. I wifl’ not stand for anything like that, for Mr. Bryan took the democratic arty out of the hole it had got itself (in fand placed it on a footing where it | codld amount to something in the af- fairs of this government. The crowd | which said last spring they did not | want him have no no business to say ito me and other supporters of Mr. | Bryan in the past that you must get linto line and suppott Hitchcock and Neville. I won't do it and there are |more than 20,000 other democrats right here in Nebraska who feel just the same as | do." The sentinient expressed by Mr. Lang, who for many years has taken |an active part in Lancaster county | politics, although a republican up to four years ago, covers the meeling among democrats, who while not as outspoken, are convinced the future welfare of the democratic party in Nebraska lies in showing the Mullen crowd, where they get off. They don't like the idea of Mullen being in control of state affairs through Ne- ville and in answer to the clanin that to uphold the hands of President Wilson, democrats must vote for Senator Hitchcock, they point to the record of tlre scnator, which shows that he has not upheld the hands of President Wilson in the past and can- not be expected to do so in the future. Attorney McDaniel On Trial Charged With_V_Vije Murder St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 18.—Oscar D, McDaniel, prosecuting attorney of Buchanan county, was put on trial in the criminal court here today under an indictment charging him | with the murder of his wife, Mrs. arriet Moss McDaniel. McDanie! has expressed himeelf re- peatedly as being certain of a verdict (of “not guilty.” He requested a | speedy trial, as he is a candidate for |re-clection in November. From evi- | dence at the coroner’s inquest and statements at McDaniel's preliminary hearing, it is expected that the prose- cution will attempt to prove Mrs, Mc- Daniel was clubbed to death in their home on the night of July 14 as a result of domestic trouble. The defense will contend that Mrs. McDa was slain in the absence of her husband, who was called from the house by a decoy telephone message. Revenge for the prosecutor’s efforts at law enforcement has been given by the defense as the motive for the murder. |Figures on the Area of the -~ Crops Out in Argentina RBuenos Ayres, Argentina, Oct. !, [istimate of the ministry of agricul- ture of the areas sown to craps in Argentina for the next harvest are: Wheat, 6,511,000 ‘hectares; oats, )00 hectares; linseed, 1,298,000 1,0 | THE WEATHER CLOUDY SINGLE COPY TWO CENTS. 7 BERLIN HEARS OF GREAT DAMAGE IN CITY OF LONDON News Agency Quotes Eye-Wit- ness as Saying More Than 100 Buildings' Wrecked or Destroyed.
