Military participation by China in the1 war would not be expected but the political necessity of adding China to the allies is looked upon by them as of vast importance. It was learned that recenily several Japanese warships were placed at strategic points along the Chinese coast, and that the possibility of internal revolutions in China through the proposed change from a republic to a monarchial form of government had caused some Japanese officials to believe munitions of war should. be husbanded for emergency. When the recent Japanese-Chinese negotia tions were in progress Japan simi larly felt compelled to hold her am munition supply for developments as to the institution, and the indebted- circumstances that are known to have ness of $9,575 can be paid and mdfaey will be in the treasury with which toJTSrect more buildings. Two addresses were heard Friday night one by Rev. Lyman E. Davis, D. D., of JMttsburgh, Pa., editor of the Methodist Recorder and president o; the General Conference, and the other by Rev. F. T. Tagg, D. D., of Baltimore, editor of the Methodist Protestant. The subject of Dr. Davis' address was "The Work of the Methodist Protestant Church Today." The speaker began by saying that the Methodist Protestant church was .founded upon a great principle, viz.: ecclesiastical liberty: and while it had i already accomplished great things, there is still work to be done. He emphatically declared that the greatest need of the church today is a revival of religion and education. He set forth the close relationship bet'vrer- the two, and made the asser tion that when you take religion out Of education you take it out of art and literature. He then reviewed the difference in the work of the denomination today and that of 20 years ago, saying: "We then went to the city and march ed on down the lane, and built a $500 church on a $50,000 opportunity; now we build our church on the cor ner of Diamond street and Gold squat e." Dr. Tagg's Address. Dr. Tagg stated in the beginning of his address that he had visited th North Carolina Conference in annual session 29 times during tle last 32 years, and that there was a peculiar sadness coming to him as he remem bered the fact that this would per haps be his last official visit, having declared his intention of retiring from the editorship of the Methodist Protestant next year. His theme was "The Church Pa per, and he handled It in such a way as to make the conference feel that embarrassed Russia considerably.

In fact, some rumors have reached offi cials recently that the plan actually originated with the Chin ese who saw in it a means of check-mating possi ble Japanese aggression. Just what advantages would lie to Japan is acquiescing in the proposal are not clear, but it is suggested in well informed quarters that by plac ing on a solid foundation the rela tions between China and Japan, Jap anese commercial interests in China might bo immune from the possible disturbances which recurrent politi cal friction might bring about. The feeling in China against Japan has been growing on account of the re cent negotiations, and the possibility that a more riendly spirit might be developed between the two Oriental countries also is said to be a factor in behalf of Japanese approval of the plan. Secretary Lansing declined to com ment on the situation, declaring that whatever had been received by the American government on the subject was confidential and could not be disclosed.

A Virginia officer arrived in Greensboro with Pike early Saturday morning, and later in the day the unfortunate man was carried - to Morganton for admission to the state hospital at that place. He was .as companied to Morganton by an offi cer and his uncle. Mr. A. N. Perkins. The management of the Morganton hospital refused to receive Pike on the ground that he had been adjudged criminally insane, whereupon he was brought back to Greensboro and placed in jail pending arrangements for his admission to the criminal -insane department of the penitentiary at Raleigh. There is no doubt in the mind of any one who has seen Pike that he is bereft of his reason. While con fined in a cell at the jail yesterday he talked incoherently and at times raved. A number of his friends call ed on him, but he did not appear to recognize them.

He also made the statement that the publishing house hp.d accum ulated a considerable fund that will be turned-over to the General Conifer- ference and promised him that it would cherish hs memory as long as it should live. ! The reading of the pastors reports developed considerable discussion and some remarks a little bit severe were indulged in. It was found that, while many pastors were faithful in the discharge of their duties, a great many are not so strict in the inter pretation of the discipline, and, there fore, do not adhere as strictly to the letter of the law as seems to be nec essary, it was the opinion of the conference that the time had come when pastors should be held to a - v more strict account. .
