A resolution authorising the Diocese of Washingta to s0eept the bequest of approximately year mnade by Samuel LoN Philps. prominent street railway aSgnate and JCpiscopal Church layman whc died recently, was offered this afternoon at the first day's session of the annual convention of the diocese.

CONVMNM IX CUVCM. The convention. presided over by Bishop Harding, met this morning in St. Stephen's Church. Fourteenth street near Columbia road.

The convention will adjourn tomorrow night. According to the resolution. it is urged that a committee to be known as the "Committee on the Phillips' Foundation." consisting of the bishop and two clergymen and two laymen, one of whom shall be a member of the Cathedral Chapter and another the treasurer of the diocese, be appointed to for the convention the t-enetits to boe derived from the will." The committee is authorised, under the terms of the resolution, to receive from the trustess under the will any income which may accrue for the benefit of the convention, and to report to the next meeting of the convention in MisSiONs TO DENEFIT. Discussing the will at this morning's session, Bishop Harding said the terms of the document authorize the bequest to the church to be expended for missionary purposes. Mission churches and edifices in rural districts will be benefited under the terms of the will, Bishop Harding said.

The section of the Phillips will affecting the church was quoted by the Bishop as follows: "Item 5. The devise and bequests herein set forth to said convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the diocese of Washington are to enable said convention to carry on missionary work, and to that end in its discretion to buy land and build for cash only and to establish thereon new mission churches; to aid rural churches and to maintain therein the worship of God; to aid In the education of missionaries for the diocese of Washington. "The said churches are to be open daily for the worship of God and the preaching of the Christian religion in which persistent prominence, but not exclusively, shall be given to such subjects as the Immortality of the Soul; the Necessity of Repentance for Sin; the Certainty of Death to all persons and the uncertainty of the ti te to each one of this human cat strophy: the greater value of the salvation of the soul in comparison to worldly possessions and pleasure. the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge the quick and the dead, when the righteous shall be rewarded with IWfe Eternal and the wicked sentenced to eviilasting punishment; that. Christ came to save that which was lost, and to give rest to all that labor and are heavy laden; that blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God; and to such other religious subjects as will show that it is man's best interest to love God with all his heart and his fellow men as himself-all Af which worship and preaching shall be under the direction and subject to the rules of said convention.

SET ASIDE INCOME. "It is advised that as each mission church is established that there should be set aside out of the Income herein provided for said convention income producing real and per3onal property as a reasonable endowment with which to maintain such mission churches in a first-class physical condition and to secure and pay for the services of such ministers of the Christian religion as the said convention may from time to time select or appoint to conduct such worship and preaching. Also in cases where there are established parish churches in the rural districts of the diocese, nnd which are not able to maintain the worship of God by their own efforts to aid them from the income herein provided in the same manner as in hereinbefore recommended for new mission churches as long as their ministers give persistent prominence in their sermons and addresses to the fundamental and inspiring subjects of Christianity mentioned before "I am moved to make the above devises because I want to return to God e'mething of what He has allowed me accumulate, because I want to benelit my, fellow-men, and because I have no lineal heirs or descendants whatmoNervous Wrecks 1 and Carb-ingorn tin Watery Blood ting the real cause of -Iron-starvation.

"'In the event of destruction by fire or other casualty of the churches they should be rebuilt. If the location of such churches becomes unsuitable for the above work, they should be disposed of and more desirable locations secured.

I advise the convention to build only fireproof churches with hydraulic cement instead of lime and non-oxidizable roofs. All churches to be of moderate capacity and particularly to keep the same at all times in first class repair. All architecture should be of pleasing appearance. FOR LOCAL MISIONS. "And above all things to keep no one in a position on salary who does not show a substantial advance of Christian sentiment in the localities where the churches are situated to be evidenced by a constant reasonay! full attendance on the services of church and the yearly presentation of reasonable additions to the membership of the church, as the right man for the place will in every instance bring about these results, and no excuse should be taken for a failure.

"I do not wish any part of the income or property to be used in foreign missions, as I belIeve there is a large and suffering field for missionary work of the above character within the Dieoese of Washington, when that is administered too fully, then the adjoIning territorier in Maryland and Virginia will afford full scope to these funds. "I do not wish any part'of the funds herein provided for to be used to establish rectories or houses for the perish.

Bishop Harding took up various subjects dealing with diocesan in his address. He dwelt at some length on the Lambeth Conference of Bishops in London, which he attended. He spoke feelingly of the work of the late Rev. Dr. Randolph H.

McKim, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, and Surgeon General Gorgas. He stated in the past year there were 1,267 confirmations in the Diocese, and that he made 82 addresses, in addition to preaching fifty-two sermons. The convention opened this morning with a combination service, at which Cishop Harding was the celebrant.

From silks exhibited to her she dedicated a pale orchid to be known as "Florence Harding a very dark blue she selects as "Harding navy." and a shade of blue between sapphire and "electric" to be called "Marion blue."

He would say only that Major General Allen, commanding the Amerilaon forces in Germany, and in charge of the investigation of the attempted kidnaping, was a "capable officer." Asked the report that General Allen had apologised to the German authorlties for the attempted kidnaping, he declared he had received no official report, but that if it were true.

"there probably was a good reason." 'ANADIAN PRB'HDMNTL Intelligence officers today said the kidnaping of deserters by non-coms sent to get them, used to be common. Not a few U. 8. soldiers went oveh into Canada from Fort Niagara. and brought deserters back.

They had no authority for their acts. They had no orders. They violated international law. The men just went "on their own" and did it. Conversely, more than one Canadian sergeant came to this country.

and took back a deserter-not infrequently a citisen of the United States. who had enlisted with the Canadians before this country entered the war. In one particular instance, in New York. the Canadians found a deserter from the famed Princess Pats, which was all but wiped out. This deserter.

a resident of Chicago, had deserted from the front lines. When caught he insisted on his rights as an American ciIse and demanded a hearing. Back in Cdnada, he said, he was certain to be shot. He insisted he was a citien of the United States, and he told the Canadian sergeant he "couldn't be taken out of this country." "Legally." said the officer describIng the case, "he probably was correct. Just the same he went." "The difference was, those fellows got away with it.

Over in Germany they failed." WILSON REUSHED VISIT TO THEATER President Wilson suffered no Ill effects from his first excursion into public life in a year and a half. it was said at the White House today. The President attended a local theater last night for the first time since illness forced him into confinement in September, 1919. White House attaches pointed to the President's visit to the theater as proof that the President Is far on the road to recovery. The President has had no daily medical attendance now for two weeks, largely because his personal physician, Rear Admiral Grayson, himself has been seriously ill.

Last night's visit was said to be the forerunner of other visite, One of the things that has caused Mr. Wilson to be most fretful during his long siege has been his inability to attend shows, which are his chief recreation. The President with Mrs. Wilson. and his brother-in-law, John Randolph Bolling, visited the National Theater, for the performance of John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln.

And, though the country may have gone Republican, the audience indicated that the President. personally. has lost none of his old-time popularity. As soon as he was recognized in one of the lower boxes. the audience rose and cheered until the President, appearing rather embarrassed, acknowledged the greeting with a bow.

The Preidential party came to the theater via the backway. The big White House car took them down an alley to a rear entrance, whence they passed back of the wings, into their box. The President, according to the theater attaches seemed rather full of his old time "pep," and made his way from the car to his box with no support save that of his silver-ringed cane. After the performance a large portion of the audience congregated at the entrance, awaiting a gooil-bye view. But the President fooled them by leaving as he had come, by the back way.

It was the President's first public appearance since he was forced to abndon his Western tour in behalf of the League of Nations, more than a year and a half ago.
