i iiiiii Campaign lo Raise $6,000,000 for Completion Of Cathedral of St. John iht? Divine Decided Upon Orive Will Oetotar End In May; Eplwsopal Chwifh in Cotinti to in Work War Delayed Building Trustees Put Off Drive jrst They Interfere With Liberty Loans THE of compMing the Cathe? dral of St. John the Divine, whose structure towera over Morn jngside Psrk at 112th Street, is now to be resumed. Tho first step Will be a campaign for funds lasting from next October to May, in which the Episcopal Church thronghout the country will seek to raise $6, the sum ro quired, it is roughly estimated, to com-. plete the tiave f.nd ndd enough to the endowroent to support the cathedral.

Work on the edifico was stopped in N'ovember, 1916, when available funds were exhausted, six months after had been brokcn for the nave, the main portion of the cathedral. A resolution of the trustees forbade a campaign for money until after the end of the war. "We cannot ask for contributions until the peace treaty is signed and the Victory Loan campaign is over," said the Very Rev. Howard C. Rob bins, dean of the cathedral, in an nouncing the plans to The Tribune.

"This will put us ofT until June, which is after the church season. Drive Set for October "The drive will thercfore begin in October and be the chief business of the Episcopal Church until the Dio cesan Conventicn in May. "We shall make no attempt to raise money for the transepts and the towers which will complete the edi fice. When the navo is fmished the cathedral will be one of the five largest in the world, ranking with St. Peter's in Rome, St.

Paul's in London and the. eethedrals of Milan and Seville. "Several years ago Ralph Adams Cram, our consulting architect, esti? mated that the nave would cost $3, 000,000, but conditions have changed so that the actual expenditure will be much how niuch we do not yet know. Until now $5,155,055 have been spent for the building, en? dowrnent and maintenance funds. "A committee will soon be appointed to arrange the details of the campaign.

We thought at first of making a spe tacular drive, lasting only a week, like those by which funds were raised for war activities, but we finally decided on a long campaign. Actual work on the nave will begin as soon as the money is collected. It will take at least two year-. and possibly to build this part of the cathedral." Gothic Designs Predominate The completed cathedral will be a combination of Gothic, Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, with Gothic predominating. The original plans were drawn in by Helns I.a Farge, but many changes have since been made.

"It is believed that as the work on, little by little the edif'ice will grow in a natural fashion," says Ralph Adam Cram, tho consulting architect. "Each new addition will serve to il luminate the great problem, so that in the end the solution will appear inevi table." The cathedral will have the form of a cross.

In most mediseval cathedrals a single great tower surmounts the intersec tion. The crossing of St. John's is so large in area t'nat a tower built in proportion would, it is feared. dwarf the rest of the building. Mr.

Cram has submitted a plan to build two small tnwers instead of a single large one, but this has not fmally been accepted.

After much discus? sion the site between Amsterdam Ave? nue and Morningside Drive and be? tween 110th and 113th streets was ehosen and named Cathedral Heights by tho Board of Aldermen. ln July, 1891, tho plans of Heins La Farge were accepted, contemplating a cathe? dral of the following dimensions: Length, east and west, 520 feet; length of transept, 288 feet; height of western towers, 245 feet; height of central tower, 425 feet; length of choir, 120 feet; height of choir, 118 feet; height of dome, 252 feet; area of cathedral, 99,500 square feet. The cornerstone was laid, with clab orate ceremony, on St. John's Day, De cember 27, 1892. Seven years later the crypt, accommodating a congregation of 500, was opened for services.

The choir and crossing were completed on April 19, 1911, and are now in use. Charles Hackett Makes Debut in "Toaca" and Scores In stantaneous Success Charles Hackett made his debut as Mario Cavaradoasi in "Tosca" yester? day aftemoon at the Metropolitan Opera Houae. His success was instam taneous and unquestioned, and he dis played a warmth of tone which had been hinted at only in "Mireille." Mr. Hackett possesaea an -unusual a voice, a pol style, a fine prosenee and a keen dramatic aenae. He is already vvorthy of a place in the great tradition of operatic tenors.

Hia Cavaradoasi was in some re spects the best sinee Signor Caruso last csaayed thc part, and in one re spect it was superior even to that of was a Cavaradoasi of a dis tinction itnd refinement Buch as New har. not seen in many yeara.

Signor Scotti was again the Scarpia of Scarpias. Age does not wither his voice nor custom stale his art.

Methodbte Call for Fight On Boliheviki laport Adopted by Coiifer enee l.rrge? All Cimrehmen to Battle Every Form of Anarehiatie Propaganda the League Idea 3ut Say Final Peaee Terms Have Waited Too Long and They Deplore Delay The New York conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at its ses sion the Metropolitan Temple, Four teenth Street and Seventh Avenue, yes- terday, called upon all churchmen to join in the fight against Bolshevism and all forfns of anarchist propaganda in the United States. The call was issued in the form of a report on the state of the country, submitted by a committee headed by Chancellor J.

R. Day of Syracuse University. The report, as adopted, says in part: "Final peace has waited long and with increasing difficulty. The foe of mankind has become more arrogant and the problems of the nations which united for freedom have been per plexed by more difficult problems that could have been more easily by prompt conditions. Live and Oppreasive Questions "Unfortunately the attention of the world was turncd upon future war pre- vention, which in the nature of the case involved long delay, instead cf upon an adjustment of the claims of boundary, indemnity and reparation, which are live and oppreasive ques- tions to hundreds of thousands with- out homes, without food and without employment, questions upon which cornmerce and industry must wait untit immediate national limits and obliga? tions can be established.

"While we appreciate the vast un dertaking and equal responsibility of the world's readjustment, we deprecate the delay that, has waited for subsid iary nnd subsequent mattors. The very laafrnitude of the undertaking urged that the whole mind of the commission should be concentrated upon the speedy conditions of peace. Favor League of Nations Idea "While we do not coramit ourselves to a particular form or specify details, we nevertheless most positively affirm ourselves in favor of some agreement that will cventually give us a league of nations. This is a Christian ideal, and the times appear to be fully ripe for the United States to lead iri such legislation. "The propaganda of the common foe of mankind has created in Russia the Bolsheviki, like the dregs of the French Revolution, poisoning a revolu tion of freedom against overthrown tyranny and using the instruments of death and pitiless crueity against the innocent.

The horrora of indescribable forms of revolution in the name of freedom, forms that have substituted the ballot for the bullet, are being de fended hy certain destructive Social ists in our own country. "This important doctrine of riot and bloodshcd has quickened the hot blood of the restless and murderous forces nniong us. It j.ustifies the bomb nnd incendiary torch, the strike and destruction of factories. We have helped to save the world to liberty. We must now return to our own country and awake to the preservation of those institutions, laws and customs which for 150 years have been the hope of all mankind.

Must Gbey Our Laws "If other peoples wish for a time to live among us, for that time they must be of us. They must respect our flag, every stripe of it, every star of it; they must obey our laws and not at tcmpt to substitute their own laws for ours. "Strikers that menace courts and demand the release of criminals should be treated as alien enemies and treated summarily by the law they defy. All men, whether alien or native, who by speech, organization or riotous print seek to incite to violence should be given sufficient tiroe behind secure prison bars at wholesome daily labor to think soberiy and become safe cit izens. "We trust in God.

Barnard, 192L Is Once More Wiiiner Of Greek Games All Reoords of College Are Broken by Two Consecu tive Victories; Deart and Faculty Attend Festival A golden chariot, drawn by four prancing sophomores and carrying a slim young Greek brandishing a laurel wreath, dashed into the gymnasium of Barnard College yesterday aftemoon. Behind it trooped a jubilant throng of aatyrs, athletes, nymphe and fauns, who made the "Altar of Pan" shiver with I the following unclassic refrain: Oh, Profesaors Young- and Perry, You can't turn us all to Grecian gtatu-erry. This chant further decomposed We will make a coat Of Nineteen Twenty's sroat. By which it was heralded to all Morningside Heights that thc Sopho? mores had won the annual Greek games contest from the freshmen, and that neither Attic restraint nor academic dignity had a chance against high-spir ited American college girl rejoicing.

The frisky who drew the triumphal chariots threw their arms around one another's necks, while the bare-legged little fauns captured the white-robed priestesses and stately choristers and dragged them around the room in a snake dance. This was the second year that the elass of 1921 had won the Greek games contest, thereby breaking a college rec? ord which dates back to the beginning of Greek games, fifteen or more years ago. The only surprise of the contest, since sophomores are expected to excel, waa in the chorus and dance, which was won by the freshmen. Their dance told the story of Syrinx (Alice Peterson), who came at the call of spring, to dance by the edge of a lake, and was taken prisoner by a band of jealous water nymphs. Pan aent out his fauns i.cunning little girls with bare legs and arms stained a dark brown), who hunted for the stolen Syrinx in a comedy dance that brought down the house.
