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. Stuntz of Omaha
was assigned to preside over the an
nual meeting of the Florida confer
ence, Atlanta area, at Gainesville,
January 30.

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.”

Huenos Aires, Nov. 17.—Luis Firpo
has informed a correspondent of La
Nacion that upon his arrival In Buenos
Aires he will tell ‘‘the bare truth" bn
to what had happened during his tour
of the United States.
Firpo, who is in Laqulaca on his
way to this city, said that he had been
able to prove that he was “an un
substltutable contestant for Jack
Dempsey's title, despite the fact that
he had lost the fight at the Polo
grounds last September.
The boxer said he had been dis
agreeably surprised by the publica
tion here of reports censuring the con
duct of his seconds at the champion
ship battle. He praises his advisers
and also commended his sparring part
ners. As for his seconds, Firpo said
he could not permit them to be blamed
and that he would wish to have them
again In his next bout with Demp
sey.
Firpo asserted that his right to a
return match had been clearly demon
strated by the flattering offers he has
received. These included, he said, a
motion picture offer of flO,000 weekly
for 21 weeks. He added that Demp
sey's best offer had only been |7,000
a week. *
