Methodists in Deadlock on Red Bishop THio Gave Huge Sum to Religious Movement Ab solves U. S. Body. New York, Nov. 17.—After several hours' debate behind closed doors, the Methodist Episcopal board of bish ips was unable to reach an accord Friday on the proposal of Bishop Ed gnrd Blake of Paris, that the church bud Its financial aid to the existing church movement in Russia. While no officlnl statement was given out by the bishops, it was l iiown that the debate for and against Bishop Blake's proposal, which was n 'anal by Bishop J. I,. Neulsen of Switzerland, Russia and Germany, w.-.xed warm at times. Although the board at Wichita, Fan , had recalled the mission headed b.v Blake on the day after the pub lication or reports last Alay that he 1 ad pledged $51,000 to the all-Rus Fan church in Moscow, the report today dealt with the mission as though it had carried out the work for which it was appointed and had been discussed ns a matter of rou tine. Before the vote was taken. Bishop Blake told newspaper men lie had expressly asked the board not to consider making the church respon sible for the $51,000. He and Bishop N’euisen had underwritten the sum ns individuals, he said, and did not wish the Methodist Episcopal mem bership divided in its opinion of the soviet government, to be asked to contribute to an experiment aimed at the education of an orthodox mj0*ek Catholic clergy for the soviet. Members of the board of bishops were emphatic in asserting their res olution did not mean they had washed their hands of the Russian ' hurch. "But." said Bishop E. G. Richardson of Atlanta, spokesman for the board, "it would have been presumptuous for us to have done more than we did. The all-Russlan church asked us to send a delegation to tije Moscow meeting. We did, and our delegates did what they could to give the all-Hussian delegation the benefit of our church’s experience In the organization of its affairs. We have not been asked to do more.” The board held a special session tonight to overcome the delay in their program, occasioned by the three-day controversy over the Blake N’uelsen report on the all-Russian conference. It expects tomorrow to draw the final resolutions for incorporation in the Muadrennial bishops' message to the general conference at Springfield, Mass., next May. Bichop Homer C.

Middle-Aged Husband Best, English Authoress Asserts Eondon, Nov. 17.—Middle-aged hus bands, according to Miss Edna For tescue, noted English writer, are more interesting than the youthful ones. They offer the modern girl greater respect, greater security and, generally, greater wealth and added luxury. But the girl who marries a middle aged man, Miss Fortescue believes, sacrifices one big thing—romance. The problem is for the girl herself to decide—whether she prefers solid and sedate middle-age to eager and passionate youth. “It is chiefly the man of the more Interesting type,’’ said Miss Fortes cue, “who acquires a bride when he is past his first youth. Middle-aged women may like the effrontery and clumsiness of the stripling, but more and more is the modern girl tending to look favorably upon the advances of the man who can offer security and repose rather than passion and poverty. Forced to Wed Eate. "Tile professional man—the doctor, the architect, the lawyer—is not In frequently compelled to marry late in life. Unless he choose a woman of means it Is often impossible for him to consider matrimony until he has established himself firmly. Many suc cessful business men postpone finding a mate for a similar cause. The am bitious man who by sheer ability is forcing himself to the top often de lays marriages for the sound reason that he wants a wife fitted to the po sition he will one day have to offer. "And It is the man who has done something In life that the young woman of character seeks for a hus band. She sets against his lost youth what are to her greater advantage— the position he can confer, the prac tical wisdom he can distil, the fact that he is, all things considered, more companionable than the callow youths of her own age. Older Men “Helpful.” "He may not dance so untiringly as the stripling, but when she is puz zled, confused or pained with life he will be of more help to her. The mid dle-aged husband Is steady. He has no Intense, pressing claims of his own to urge. He Is so delighted to find a young, pretty, vivacious creature, full of vim and brightness and amuse ment in his home that he asks no more than that she shall continue to be at her beet. "So it is the wife's problem en tirely. An elderly husband cannot combine the attractions of the boy with the advantages of maturity. "In affairs of this kind it must always be remembered that women are both romanticists and realists If they romnnoe about love they face facts In marriage. Many a woman seek.-i marriage when she has de spaired of love coming to her. She seeks security, kind treatment, free dom. position: in short, she seeks the comfort of conjugality rather than the fire of passion. "Altogether, if she choose wisely, the girl who marries a middle aged husband sacrifices but one big thing —romance.” Reuniting at Clarinda Clarinda, la., Nov.
