i THE BOSTON GLOBE TUESDAY. OCTOBER .17. .1016 FAVORS ORGANIZED CHURCH PUBLICITY Suffragan Bishop-Elect of Kansas TJrges It Use of Efficiency Systems In Epis-. copal Church Suggested 1 FIRST AUTHENTIC PHOTO Of LATEST SENSATION IN THE WAR, THE BRITISH TANK, TO REACH BOSTON UNSUNG EAR Pleases Kverybody ERE arc some of the many reasons: Perfect fit for any figure Careful finish Strong buttonholes Securely-fastened buttons Soft, non-chafing fabrics Washability Durability-Moderate prices for fine quality. Tvery required style and size for men, women, Iren I TF you can buy a full gal---lon of straight Kentucky whiskey for $1.95 as good as any you ever tasted for $3.00 or $4.00 a gallon were pretty certain you would buy it.

Were seeing such a whis- key for $1.95 a gallon, but Men who use their heads are sceptical of such a proposition, so we say TRY IT AT OUR EXPENSE LOUTS, Oct 17 Use of efficiency systems in the conduct of the business of the church, coupled with a- larger publicity for church propaganda, is being urged by delegates to the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal hurch, in session here today. Rev James Wise of St Louis, suffragan i bishop-elect of Kansas, has drafted a resolution calling for a permanent church publicity commission. In our churches we can reach many, but Iv is through the newspapers and other periodicals that we can best reach the man outside, he said. We are coming to the point where we must reallre that, the church, like all other large organizations interested in moulding public sentiment, can best do it through organized publicity. Handling of Finances A report of the Joint commission on business efficiency urges new systems of handling parochial, diocesan and provincial finances, the regular auditing of the funds by "outside accountants and the handling of such finances in trust funds.

The church is a large business concern, to all intents and purposes, said Robert S. Pruyn of Albany, chairman of the committee, commenting today- on the report. "Consequently we must handle its business as we would that of any firm. Both proposals probably will come up for discussion in the House of Deputies next week.

Similar sets of wheels are at both ends of the belt, while between them, both top and bottom, there are rollers, which facilitate the movement of the belt. On the underside, where the belt grips the ground, these rollers are set close together, so that there may he continuous contact, which is further assured by the great weight of the tank.

The "tank, which is built entirely of steel, is apparently not more than 40 feet long and 12 feet high at its highest point, the top of the gun turrets. The scaffolding above the center of the machine may be a brace, supporting the turrets when traveling over broken or shell-pitted ground. The large wheels, shown in front but evidently detached, may belong to the tank or to a dismantled gun carriage. It attached to the "tank, as in the design of the American caterpillar tractor, used for heavy hauling, they are about 10 feet in front and are used more as feelers and for adding length to the machine than for any other purpose. They would support the tank when crossing large trenches or shell holes, and thus greatly Increase Its mobile length.

I The "tank is supposed to be steered by the movement of the "belts, geared so that both may be used for going forward or retreating, or either used separately when it is desired to turn to the right or left. Owing to their "belts" being in con- tact with the ground for more than 20 feet, they were able to span trenches, shell holes and other inequalities of the battlefield. If the hole was so wide that the tank slipped into it, its great tractive power allowed it to climb up the other side and go on. Nothing short of heavy shellfire affects the tank. With its four machine puns, mounted two in a turret on cither side, they have a wide range of destruction.

An average of between 60 and 800 shots can be fired a minute bv each gun, and with all four going the tank can throw a spray of not less than 2000 bullets a minute on the enemv. In addition to the turrets, there are slits in the body of the machine, through which riflemen may fire, thus adding to Its destructive power. HAMPHHIKF. narrower A Co. M.

E. Walker Tells Tremont Temple Brotherhood Meeting "Punch, pep and tabasco arc the three things Billy Sunday likes to see In men. Rev James E. Walker, Sundays, advance man, told the 350 members of the Tremont Temple Brotherhood at 'a Billy Sunday dinner in Cliipman ITall last night. The remark was inspired.

Rev Mr Walker said, by the rousing songs and the snappy talks of the members of the Brotherhood under the leadership of Dr Cortland F. Myers and David I. Lock row. Rev Mr Walker said Billy Sunday was going to inject these three features into the Boston campaign and he was going to "clean up" the city. He insisted, however, that Sunday was only an old-fashioned preacher of an old-fashioned religion, but he spoke to the generation In hich he lived in the language of the nay.

"Men understand what Billy Sunday says. Rev Mr Walker declared. He does not use highbrow words, but words which we ail know. He will clear up the fovgy religious atmosphere of New England. Dr Cortland Mvem.

speaking for the Brotherhood, said the organization of 1600 men was at Sundays disposal. "We have here a regiment of men, Dr Myers said, "and we are used to this kind of work. Mr Sunday is going to have that back of him. We know he is going to shake Boston to its foundation with pounds of religious nami, e. The Brotherhood rehearsed some of Sundays favorite selections.

Then special moving pictures of an educational character were shown. The dinner was prepared and served by the iiirls Helpful Organization of Tremont Temple.

The ellfptical belt, which is used for a track, has been parted, showing the teeth of the powerful wheels that revolve and track and ALLIED TROOPS ARE LANDED IN GREECE Continued Front the First Page public Is not in Greece, but In the eourt-Iv minds of statesmen elsewhere, for example.

In support of this decis'on Sir Lowell said he had determined that tho smallest observable spot on Mars would be at least 10 miles in diameter.

Canal a therefore, could not be seen from earth Mars, he added, has four seasons mucti like ours, but longer. Dr Lowell said it was absurd to assume that the earth was the only planet having intelligent inhabitants.
