Public Ixlr Comrnny RHINELANDER ASKS VOICE FOR WOMEN Bishop Urgos Episcopalians to Grant Equality in Church Affairs DIOCESE MEETING ON o Bishop Bhinclander urged that women ho ndmitted to the councils of the church, in his annual address this aft ernoon before the 137th annual conven tion of thc Protestant Episcopal dio cese of Pennsylvania. The convention opened this morning In the Church of St. Luke and tho Epiplmny, Thirteenth street below Spruce, nnd will continue through to morrow. Several hundred clerical nnd lay delegates attended. The nuestion of admitting women as convention delegate on the same terms or men, sanctioned in a resolution nt tho Lambeth convention, is one of the main topics before the meeting. The bishop's address, in which he warmly championed the women, preceded the report of the committee to vilrh the women's "auto was entrusted nt the an nual convention n j-enr ago. Bishop Ithlhelonder prefaced his plea for the women by praise of the work which individual members of the sox have done for the Pennsylvania diocese. Praises Work of Women "Thc'work of the women for nnd in the diocese," he snld. "has progressed by leaps' and bounds. "God bless our women!" he contin ued. "You will recall a memorable resolution passed with prartlcal una nimity hj the Lambeth conference last oiimmer to the effect that 'women should be admitted to those councils of thc church to which laymen are admitted, and on eipinl terms.' Surely, if th?re is any diocese in which this principle should bo more generously welcomed nnd applied thnn elsewhere, It is here "I am persuaded ti that it Is en" tlrely equitable and will provt prolltnbla to the church. True judgment of spir itual values, zeal, intelligence, cour age nnd devotion to thc cause of Christ ; these should be the outstanding marks of nil thoxe admitted to the church's councils. "I hnve not noticed that men hnvo nny monopolj of these precious gifts. I know women do most of the church's work. I believe the men will be helped and not hindered, stimulated and not discouraged, moved to generous rivalry and not lulled to somnolent indiffer ence, by the presence of women ns their feljnw counsellors. "It will be u graceful and grate ful acknowledgment of the immense debt we owe to our women for their recent diocesan activities if we pais through its llru stages at this con vention the legislation required for put ting into local application the Lambeth principle." x In beginning his address the bishop said that 70 of the 200 congregations In the diocese hnd shown notable gains in the last jear. Forty, he said, re ported normal growth, and about 10 have been nt n standstill. In a few Instances, he said, "statistics, at least, will (.how a los." To, Admit New Parishes Church extension, the bishop pointed out. is primarilj the work of thc laity. "Just as a battle is won," the bishop Continued on fux Tnrnly.thro.

By the Associated Press Wn-shington. May 3. The German reparations counter-proposals nre unne ceptahlc as- n basis for discussion. Sec retary Hughes informed Dr. Simonn. the Germnn foreign minister, In a note. Inst night. The serretnrv ot the same time urged the German Government to make fur ther proposnls directly to the allied governments. He also expressed again the earnest desire of tho American Gov ernment for .1 prompt settlement of "this vital question." In urging Germany to make at once "directly to thc allied government" adequate proposals on reparations, the American Government was believed by the allied diplomats here to have defi nitely closed the reparations Incident so far as the t'nltcd States was con cerned. No Word From Supreme Council Administration officials declined to daj to comment on the communication, saylrg that It spoke for itself. Nor would they indicate rhe considerations which caused Its dispatch somewhat tin ixpeetedly at a late hour lat night. It was stated, however, that action was taken without any communication hav ing been received from the allied Su ireme Council nt London. The State Department has been kept informed as to events in the Supreme Council, and It hid become evident Mint the German proposals were unacceptable as a basis for discussion. That view bad been taken by France nnd Belgium from the flirt. The Pnitcd Stutcs apparently has not jet given up hope ihnt n final set tlement will be reached bj discussion, thus avoiding coercive measures, which, lu the iiew here, would l,e likely to be attemi'd by economii' confiixion.
