At Illshop llcrry's appeal the lay Members of the denomination pledged their support to him for the reorganiza tion of Ocean Orove and voted $.'00 toward tho expenses of the project, es timated at $inoo. The bishop said he has made arrange ments to lmve Itishops McDowell. Hughes and Leonard participate in the Rummer Instruction work planned for Ocean Grove. The Itev. Floyd Totn klns, rector of Holy Trinity Upiscn pal Church, he added, has promised to cut short his vacation and assist in the work. Isaac C Yoeum, president of the Laymen's Association, was in the chnlr and made an address iu which he gave "Methodism's messages to the world.' Mr Yocum said the saloonkeepers fear the Methodist church more than any other religious body, because it was that church which founded the first Anti-Saloon I-engue. The principal message to capital and labor nnd to the gocial world, he declared, was that the only solution to present problems "must come through JesuB."

'Alien Propaganda Hit by Methodists Continued from Vme One donkey can drown tne uiscord of the world." Some Told They're "Dead" The speaker urged all clergymen to "come to life" and face the present crislB. He twitted the members of the cloth, saying. "Many lme died at thirty-five and arc walking around to aave funeral expenses." Criticism had been made of the tone of church periodicals, he continued. ome readers wanting the publications "Jazzed up and made more readable. "As for the Methodist Review," he declared, "it is not for the man who wears a No. f hnt nnd n No. 17 col lar. Ministers should be at once more highbrow and more human. One of the difficulties of tha conference is taking cmro of men who arc not alive." Bishop Henderson Speaks The situation focing the Methodist "Episcopal Church because of the grow ing scarcity of ministers was outlined vividly by Bishop Theodore S. Hen derson, of Detroit. One reason he advanced for the small number of ministerial candidates was that high school boys are keeping nwny from church nnd Bible school at n time when the are deciding on their future careers. "There is a critical ituatlon in re . gard to the supply of ministers in American Protestantism." he said. "We have come to the time when we must face not only the need for more ministers, but also more ministering nnd affective purpose. "There is too much working around the circumference of spiritual tilings without a clear conception of the center of them. The work is inclined to be too fragmentary. The Methodist Kpis copal Church in America needs from 1000 to lfiOO men every ear in con ference relations." The bishop said that sections in the East, South nnd Central West of this country have been depleted of minis terial material bcenue of the migration of clergy to points west of Chicago. The six conferences showing the biggest gain of men in the Inst ten jeurs. he said, are the conferences of Southern California. Dakota. We?t Virginia. Idaho.

Tells of Preacher Shortage The ranks of the ministers in iictuai i conference relations In the last ten years, Ulshop Henderson declared, hue been increai-ed by ouly tweutj -si ven men throughout the entire countrj. The Philadelphia Conference has ebven. less men than it had nine jenrs ago, lie said. The Philadelphia area, nicliid ing the New Jersey, Philadelphia and Wyoming ennferem , he continued, ha been at a standstill in the last nine years. "The Philadelphia Conference would have lost more than eleven men," he said, "if it hadn't gained nine men In transfers from other conferences to this conference." The bishop declared the Methodist Church "is losing men nt the bottom as well as at the top." In the last ten years mnny stotes have received less than sixty men us probationers in the ministry.

He quoted figures indicating how few families of ministries give sons or daughters for church work. "The weak point is In the 'teens," he continued. "In the old days the normal time for a boy or girl to decide tiKn his or her life work was In col lege. Now it Is in high school. The high school ho j s and girls arc the ones who are absent from the Bible schools and churches. It Is with the high school boys and girls that wc should concen trate our efforts." Discussing students who enter col lege with the ministry in mind, the bishop declared "0 per cent of them change from that Idea before gradua tion. "How many Methodist students arc nt the 1 niversity of 1'eiinsylvnnln?" tie asKcd. informed the number wns about !00. the bishop snld the question of entering the ministry should be placed before them. "In the hist twenty-four months," ne concluded, now many young men have you sat down with and presented wic claims of ministry New Hospital In Sight The conference, which opened yester day nnd continues until Tuesday next, started at 1) o'clock this morning- with prayers by the Rev. E. D. Decker, of the nprinslicld Avenue Church, and the Rev. A. P. Hodgson, of the Chelten Avenue Church, The annual report of the Methodist Episcopal Hospital was read by the Rev. C. M, Boswcll, corresponding secretary of the hospital's bonrd of trustees, who later was re-elected to that position. Dr. Boswcll intimated that u new hospital building will be built in the next few years. One man, he said, has pledged S.iO.000 by April, 11)22, and an other, hearing of the first offer, imme diately matched it. A new building Is greatly needed. Dr. Boswcll said, because at present every bed in the institution is filled. Last year, he said, was the most successful year the hospital ever had. Hospital Report Entered Receipts from collections and contri butions In 11120, he reported, totaled $41,035 compared with $41,733 In 1010, while the totul income lost year was $21fi.S20, compared with $102,O0G the yeur before. Other figures presented for the hospi tal were: Expenses on property, 1020, $220,719; 1010, $201,072; patients ad mitted. 1020. 4024: 1010. 3002 patients receiving one day's treatment, 1020, r1.700j 1010, 47.708; operations, 1U2U, aortu; ihih, 2110.1. rue dally cost per patient is now $4.20, Dr. Boswell said, compared with n daily cost of $3.87 in 1010. He praised the women's auxiliary of the hospital, stating it had raised $13,078 last year. A resolution admitting probationers to the ordination services this afternoon In Bethany Temple Presbyterian Church, Fifty-third nnd Spruce streets, wns presented by the Rev. David L. McCartney. It was passed. Hereto fore probationers have been excluded from ordination .ervices. Fund Administration Criticized When the Rev. Joseph B. Hingley. corresponding secretary of the board of conference claimants, was introduced by Bishop Berry, the presiding officer, he criticized the administration of the fund in some conferences. Because of failure in the past to dis criminate property between those seek ing retirement nnd nn annuity grant. Dr. Hingley said, many thousands of dollars nrc being paid out now to men who never performed ministerial service for any conference. in some lnstancen, ne continued, tract sellers and men who did volunteer work among railroud employes were given places on the annuity rolls of the thureh. The sum of $2,000,000 was paid out last year to claimants, he said, although another jiiilllon dollars would have been necessary to meet all claims. Of the $2,000,000 paid fully $2T0.000 was given to persons who never served as ministiTS. Another defect in ad ministration, he concluded, was that sometimes u conference pays 00 per cei.t of its iipportionment for work done iu another conference. Illshnp Henderson Speaks Tiishnp Theodore S. Henderson, resi dent bishop of Detroit, was one of the principal speakers this morning. Ills subject was "Recruiting for the Ministrj."

The conference is nt Lmcrgency Aid headquarters, 218 South Eighteenth street, with Mrs, Lewis Smith, vice chairman of the state League of Women v oters, presldingg. Fifteen counties are represented. Most of the discussion showed the women realize too extensive n program would be suicide for them politically, and that controversy among them Is deadly. Some of us act ns though we had the vote only for this year," sntil Mrs. J. O. Miller, of Pittsburgh, president of the stute League of Women Voters. "Wc have the vote until this nation ends. We don't have to do everything nt once, nor rush into things head long. Because you don't tuko up n question or u bill this year docs not mean you oppose it. It may mean that you feel tbero is other legislation that is more Important." Legislator Advises Conferees Mrs, Jennie C. Van Ness, member of the New Jersey Assembly, echoed this sentiment when she said. "Women should be wise ns serpents and harm less os doves where legislation is con cerned. They must take into consid eration the legislator's standpoint. When the icgislntor sees a group of women coming with n bill, and wrong ling among themselves, he is more npt to throw up his hands und do nothing except to express his thought 'too much skirts.' ' Politlcul education for women Is the point to be most stressed by the league in the future if the feeling of this meet ing is carried out. Training so that in telligent nv well us conscicncious women may take their place in governmental duties is the chief aim, "We will kill our organization," said Mrs. J. O. Miller, "if wc take up too broad u program, sponsor too many bills that are controvcrsal. When our state organization made up Its legis lative program we Included mnny things which we do not now expect to bpon sor or push at this time. "We have learned that some of these things arc not wise at present. Tho first thing ou our program was the mandatory law providing for women on the school bonrd. Now that we have the vote wc feel that we huven't gump tion enough to get women nppolnted WlinOUL BUUU U IUM , BV ,; ull fc deserve to have them on school boards. Clcsed Mouth Is Urged "Another thing on our program wns a state budget system. Now wc don't think we will push that. Wc believe that it will be better to work for n constitutional convention, then the budget system will follow. "We should not back too much legis lation that calls for money. Rather. I think tlie women should work toward retrenchment. The Murshnll bill is an examnle. All you women should study It and learn what antiquated tux laws we have In Pennsylvania. I would like to see you women put your minds on tho machinery of the government. Few men know ntiv more nbout it than you do. No wis the time to study it." Other speakers stressed the fact that women should walk most carefully along legislative paths until they know exnctlj where they arc going. One county rep resentative said, "Women should lenrn to keep their mouths closed until they can intelligently open them," British Mission Coming to America Centlnunl from raire Ore to abandon it nnd set up a new or ganization or so to remodel the present league that this country will be ready to enter it. England and France,, on the other hand, nrc much in tho same position with respect to Germany as thev were at Paris. They have their Peace Treat , but they want this country to stand with them in the enforcement of it. Just as two yenrs ago they were will ing to trade President Wilson the Leugue of Nations for the kind of peace they wanted, so today in effect they are willing to trade Mr. Harding a new association of nations for the sympnthy and support of the I'nltcd States in their attitude townrd (iermany. The situation makes for President Harding's success In obtnlninig the kind of association of iintionv he desires. There are endless difficulties becntisp of the way Preidcnt Wilson had tied the present IC;,ue of Nations into til"- Versailles Treaty nnd the European Allies lire unwilling to see an thing .1 in' which will impolr that treaty. I " .Mr Harding may he forced to ac cept that treaty, modified and amended ns a preliminary to obtaining iis asso ciation of nntlons. No doubt French diplomacy, bucked b English diplo macy, is moving in that direction. The staging of theso international conferences In Washington will help President Hnrdlug in getting his new association of nations, nnd whatever treat) is decided upon, through the Scout.. The negotiations will take place before tlie American public it will not nil seem so strange nnd tar nwny ami corrupted with European in trigue as the conference nt Paris, Dinners Aid Diplomacy Then there is til" Senate to be con sidered. Dinner paitie.s anil social flat tery are a wonderful halve for inter national relations. The dinner parties linve ulreud begun. And Washington has never been so brilliant socially us it will be when the Hritish, French nud pt'iliapM other missions nrc here. One difficulty in the way of Mr. Hunting's new association of nations is that the present league is charged with certain obligations in earning out tne Versailles treut.v, and tills treaty has iinmenso sunctlty in the eyes of tho French. The direction in which French anil Itritisli negotiations are working is to ward securing tho early fulfillment of the more important of these obligations. When the present league has discharged them it can be nbnndoncd for a new as sociation of nations or converted into one us seems best. Here again close co-operntion by the I'nited Stall's with France and Great Britain in their relations with Germany becomes important, IIKATIIN KINN'KY -On March ID. WU.I.JUID HKII, KIN'NKV. Jr..

Tho question of using federal troops in the narndo came to flic I'reift.loni'o attention through a telegram from -John F. Hnrrlgan, of Uoston, state president of the American Association for Rec ognition of the Irish Republic, who asked whether "autocratic" rulings by the army and navy officers in command of the troops were to be backed up by the White House. In reply George R.
