Presbyterians Decide to Bring'
Question Before As
sembly Later
By Associated Press,
St. Louis, May 17. — The question
whether the Presbyterian Church in
the United States should enter the
inter-church world movement, which
seeks to ally all Protestantism, de
layed for several hours yesterday
adoption of the New Era report by
the One Hundred and Thirty-first
General Assembly in session here,
because the report indorsed the
movement.
Paragraphs of the report pertain
ing to the movement finally were de
leted and the report adopted with
the understanding that th'e question
would be brought before the Assem
bly later for action.
Instances in which Presbyterian
missionaries in foreign lands some
times sacrificed their lives or suffered
the loss of their liberty while en
gaged in their work in behalf of
the oppressed nationalities during
the war are related in the aflnual
report of the Board of Foreign Mis
sions.
"Many missionaries died as a re
sult of the disease contracted in the
famine work in Persia," says the
report. "The mission work saved
many other thousands. In North
western Persia the Kurds and the
Turks drove 80,000 people in panic
fright. Dr. W. A. Shedd, Presbyteri
an missionary, who accompanied the
refugees, died on the journey, a vic
tim to cholera, as he was seeking to
protect the fleeing people from their
enemies in the rear. Dr. W. S. Van
nemon and Dr. F. N. Jessup, Pres
byterian missionaries in abriz, were
imprisoned by the Turks and their
buildings looted.

ROUTE MARKED BY
RIBBON OF DESTROYERS
[Continued from First Page.]
erns the actions of every aircraft
and naval vessel connected with the,
long flight. The order was issued
by Captain Harris leaning, chief of
staff, destroyer force.
The order pfovides for the sta
tioning and subsequent movements
of sixty destroyers, four battleships,
and a number of auxiliary naval
vessels. The route which the sea
planes are to take to the Azores is
marked by a ribbon of destroyers
stationed about fifty miles apart.
These vessels have been on their
stations for several days and have
kept the department here and the
naval officials at Trepassey Bay con
stantly informed as to meteorolog
ical conditions.
Battleships on Outskirts
In addition to the destroyers, the
battleships Florida, Utah. Texas and
Wyoming have been stationed on the
outskirts of the course to furnish
further meteorological data through
out the flight.
The seaplanes are to be in con
stant communication with the naval
fcfXKRISBURa TELEGRAPH
With Choir and Organist
The quartet choir of Zion Lutheran
Church, is to sing Rhetnberger's "On
High the Stars Now Are Shining," at
the service to-morrow evening. Prob
ably no composition has pleased the
musical ear at vesper services so
much as has this well-written, close
ly harmonized selection. It has been
sung by mixed, male and. female
choruses, and as a trio and solo, as
well. Frequently it is sung without
accompaniment. Its use has been
general throughout the musical world.
Two selections from Haydn's "Crea
tion" are to be sung to-morrow as
special choir offerings. At Pine Street
Presbyterian Church in the evening
the trio. "On Thee Each Living Soul
Awaits," is on the program. At Reth
lehem Lutheran Church in the morn
ing Mrs. W. K. Bumbnugh, soprano
soloist and directress of the choir,
will sing the aria, "With Verdure
Clad."
Frank Entry, tenor, is on the even

"Far Prom the Heavenly Home." The
beautiful Rogers anthem. "Still, Sti:!
With Thee,'' is to be the morning
choir offering.
vessels. In addition to the radio
communication the destroyers are
provided with special illuminating
torches, star shells and flares to
mark the court at night.
Twenty-one destroyers are sta
tioned on the Trepassey Hay, Azores
leg, with four additional vessels in
reserve. As the seaplanes pass above
a destroyer the latter is to obtain
radio communication, ascertain the
condition of the planes and indicate
the true course to the next vessel.
Destroyers Illuminated
During the night the destroyers
on station one to sixteen will keep
brilliantly illuminated to provide
against the seaplane missing a ship
and thus losing the way. To guard
further against this contingency the
destroyers are ordered, if the sea
planes have not been sighted at the
approximate time they should arrive
to make smoke clouds, show search
lights, fire star shells and notify
the next ship to the westward. The
next vessel in the line will make
the same signals for three-quarters
of an hour before the planes are
due to arrive.
Upon being notified that it has
been sighted by planes, or when a
station ship sights the fliers, the ves
sel will immediately stop smoking
or firing star shells, will take the
exact course to the next station and
will steam slowly on that course to
indicate the proper route and will
keep in radio communication with
the flying ships.
Meaning of Signals
Planes loreeu to hand on the
water during darkness will indicate
their position and condition by
radio, rockets and flares with the
following meanings: Green star, can
get off the water again, no assist
ance required; red star or flare, as
sistance required. If one plane is
forced to land the others will re
main in the vicinity until a report
of her condition is received or as
sistance arrives.
During the flight all destroyers
stationed along the route are to dis
play a number which will indicate
to the flier's the distance they have
covered. Careful precautions have
been taken by the Department
to keep the air clear of all except
emergency radio messages during
the flight.
Ships to Speed at Signal
Tf while off station a destroyer
sights any plane, whether known to
be engaged in the trans-Atlantic
flight or not, it is ordered to signal
to the plane the duty it is on,
and, if desired, the true course to
the next vessel on station. All ships
in the vicinity are instructed to
proceed with all possible speed in
answer to S. O. S. calls and make
every effort to assist in repairs nec
essary to continue the flight. If the
disabled plane cannot proceed and
conditions make towing it back to
the base hazardous or impossible,
the destroyer is instructed to rescue
.the crew and to salvage all parts of
the plane possible.
As soon as the seaplanes left
Trepassey, the battleships Utah and
Florida discontinued meteorological
observations and proceeded back to
this country. The Texas and the
Wyoming will continue observations
until the planes reach the Azores
but will send reports to the base
ship. U. S. S. Melville, at Punta
Delgado. The battleship Arkansas,
which has been at Plymouth, Eng
land, immediately upon receiving
word that the flight from Trepassey
had started, proceed to vake station
between the Azores and Lisbon to
report meterological conditions
there.
The planes are following a
mercator's course from Mistaken
Point on Trepassey Bay to Corvo,
Landfall at the Azores, and thence
by the shortest route to Horta or
Punta Delgado. There they will re
fuel. make necessary repairs and
start as soon as possible for Lisbon.
Departing from Lisbon in the early
morning the fliers are ordered to
head for Plymouth, the objective
point of the long voyage.
Decevee's "Come Unto Me" will be
sung by Miss Catherine Zeiter as a
soprano solo at Second Reformed
Church to-morrow evening. The. num
ber is cne of the best the former or
ganist and choirmaster of Zion Lu
theran Church wrote.
The organ recital at Zion Lutheran
Church, this afternoon, was given
by William R. Stonesifer, organist of
Grace Methodist Church.
Vanrlewater's "The Good Shepherd,"
will be sung by Miss Frock at Augs
burg Lutheran Church to-morrow
evening. llarri also has written a
setting of this effective poem, which
perhaps is more generally used than
the Vandewater conception.
Shelley's "Hark! Hark! My Soul" is
to be the opening anthem at the even
ing service at Derry Street United
Brethren Church to-morrow. Another
excellent number, Storer's "Hear Me
When I Call," will also be sung at
this church.
Tours' "God Hath Appointed a Day"
will be the morning anthem at Mar
ket Square Presbyterian Church to
morrow.
CRUISE NOT LOOKED
UPON AS SPORT EFFORT
[Continued from First Page.]
| will remain on station until the blrd-
I men have passed, the destroyers so
close together that an hour's steam
ing would bring one of them to the
alighting place of any of the air
craft forced to descend. Mother
ships, tenders and other naval units,
at intervals along the course, have
mechanics, tools, extra parts and
gasoline aboard, ready to give aid
which would make possible resump
tion of its journey by a plane but
out of commission by slight defects.
Posted on Weather Conditions
The patrol fleet, in wireless con
tact throughout its length and in
touch with the United States Weath
er Bureau, as well as ships of vari
ous nationalities cruising the Middle
i Atlantic, will keep the aviators post
; ed on weather conditions in the areas
they are approaching, also co-operat
ing with the navigators aboard the
planes in directing the flight.
"Give us no luck, good or bad, and
the trans-Atlantic voyage should be
made without trouble," said Com
mander John IT. Towers, chief of the
expedition, commenting before the
"hop-off" on the completeness of the
Navy's preparations. "We are not
undertaking the impossible, we are
not banking on chance. We are at
tempting a flight wholly within the
mechanical possibilities of the NC
planes, hoping to demonstrate, with
out reckless risk of life or valuable
property, that an air cruise to Eu
rope is a practical proposition."
Giant Strides Made
One of Commander Towers' broth
er officers declared that a new branch
of the science of navigation was
growing up around the NC planes,
thus making the flight an undertak
ing expected to contribute material
ly to the advancement of the profes
sion of the sea. Giant strides have
been made in development of the
steering and weather charts to be
used on the flight and the crews ex
pected to accomplish worth while
results in the experiments above blue
water.
The naval aircraft, the NO-1, NC-3
and NO-4, huge flying boats which
ascend from a "take off" in the wa
ter and "and" also on the surface
of the sea, are driven by Liberty mo
tors, four to a plane and aggregating
1,600 horsepower. They are of the
biplane type, with a wing span of
126 feet, length over all 6!t feet and
length of hull, 4 4 feet. The craft
weigh 15,100 pounds, with navigat
ing and wireless equipment aboard,
but without crew and fuel. The
total flying weight is 28,500 pounds.
Have Dual Control .System
The planes 'have a dual control
system, with seats side by side and
forward of the gasoline tank, for the
pilots, each of whom has a complete
set of instruments, including com
passes. The navigating station, out
fitted with the regulation marine in
struments, is in the bow, while the
engineer and radio operator occupy
<he main compartment ut the tanks.
The planes are expected to cruise,
without winds, 75 (land) miles an
hour and the gasoline capacity of
11,400 pounds will carry them up
wards of 1,500 miles, considerably in
excess of the longest lup of the ocean
—from Trepassey to the Azores—•
without refueling.
With Commander Towers in charge
of the expedition, the three planes
set out in command of Mr. Towers.
Lieutenant Commander A. C. Read
and Lieutenant Commander P. N. L.
Bellinger.
Commander a Southerner
Commander Towers who Is 34
years of age, was born in Georgia
and entered the Naval Academy in
1902. After service on various war
ships ho was assigned to the aviation
section for instruction three years
before the outbreak of the European
War. Midwinter of 1912 found him
k ln chArge of the aviation camp at
the Guantanamo maneuver grounds
of the Atlantic fleet, and in Septem
ber, 1914, as a lieutenant, he went to
L,ondon as assistant to the American
naval attache. After a tour of duty
on the staff of the chief of operations
at Washington, during which he
participated in the selection of avia
tion statiqns and won his commis
sion as commander, Mr. Towers was
designated early this ■ year to de
velop the pluus for the trans-Atlan
tic flight.
Head Is a Yankee
Lieutenant Commander Read, 32
yeais of age, was born in New
Hampshire. After leaving Annapo
lis he tilled varied assignments until
1915, when he reported at the naval
air station at Pensacola, Fla., for
instruction. Two years later he took
command of the aviation station at
Bay Shore ,on Long Island, later as
suming a similar post at Miami, Fla.
While on the staff of the chief of
naval operations at Washington the
following year he was detached for
temporary duty in connection with
the camouflaging of seaplanes at
Hampton Roads, Vs., later holding
changing assignments until he was
named for participation in the trans-
Atlantic flight.
Wins Promotion
Lieutenant Commander Bellinger,
born in South Carolina. 33 years ago,
went from the Naval Academy to sea
duty, which included command of a
Academy for aviation instruction in
1912, and the following year joined
the Guantanamo air squadron. After
service in 1914 on the staff of the
chief of naval aeronautics, he was
assigned to the Pensacola station,
where he won promotion to the com
mand of the Hampton Roads avia
tion camp, to which he reported later
in 1917. He was on detached Navy
Department duty when he was se
lected as one of the trans-Atlantic
flyers.
The battleships Now York, Arkan
sas, Utah, Florida and Texas, with
Rear Admiral Rodman's flag flying
from the first named, are at sea with
the destroyer patrol, which is com
manded by Rear Admiral Plunkett
on the cruiser Rochester.

Roosevelt's Opinion
The attention of the executive
committee was called to the fact
that that great American. Theodore
Roosevelt, among the last things he
wrote gave a message as follows con
cerning this humane activity. Said
he:
"No history of the nineteenth cen
tury, and probably no history of the
twentieth century, will be complete
that does not deal with the work of
the Salvation Army. For many years
the general attitude of cultivated
people towards this work was one
either of contemptuous indifference
or of jeering derision. At last it
has won its way to recognition, and
there are few serious thinkers now
adays who do not recognize in the
Salvation Army an invaluable social
asset, a force for good which works
effectively in those dark regions
where, save for this force, only evil
is powerful.
"At the beginning the Salvation
Army was a purely religious body;
but those at its head were driven
into social work because of their
sympathy with suffering. They had
not planned out their work from
the outset; they took it up, piece
by piece, just as their hearts re
sponded to appeal after appeal made
by the suffering people with whom
they were endeavoring to get into
touch. They prayed with and
preached to men and women
weighed down by sorrows and mis
ery of dire poverty, and then they
found that they simply could not
leave these men and women without
stretching out a helping hand to
them. They were brought in con
tact with wrong-doers and criminals,
they learned their secret history,
they found how great a proportion
of human sin is connected with
wretched surroundings; and then
they felt ill at ease until they tried
to help'and reform those who had
been even more sinned against than
sinning. Thus by degrees their so
cial work increased and took on a
multitude of ' different forms, and
their constant endeavor was, not
only to regenerate the Individual,
but also in practical ways, by experi
ment and trial ,to find out how best
to do away with the circumstances
responsible for the individual's fall.
They steadily developed their work
along the lines of self-help, self
management, self-support, for one
of their great underlying principles
is that the individual must co-oper
ate in order to bring about his own
moral and physical redemption."

CAB DRIVER WAS THE GOAT;
HE TOOK A BAD BANK NOTE
A cab halted at a street corner
and a man alighted. The latter had
evidently not the means at hand to
pay his fare by the mannet in which
he dived first Into one pocket and
then the other. He was relieved,
however, frrom his embarrassment
by a.man tendering a treasury note
to the driver with the remark:
"Take your fare out of that; I
know this gentleman."
The change was given and the
cabby was soon out of sight.
"To whom am I Indebted for this
kindness?" asked the first gentle
man.
"Not me. sir. On the contrary,
that's a bad note I've been wanting
to change all day."—From the Phil
