With the im portant prayer changes concurred in by the house of deputies of the Protestant Kpiscopnl, church, the joint session of the deputies and the house bishops took up the question of missions today. There was comment on the possibilty of a debate on the question of unction. The so-eallcd "Catholic" wins of the conference is expected to' bring the question beforo the house, if further nction is taken in revision of prayers. The "unctionlsts" aro hopeful, despite the fact that the join t. commission on common prayer .refused to .make, any recommendation for an "office for the nnnointing of the sick." Members of tho joint commission on common prayer today said there might he further debate on some of the pray ers now used by the church. The adop tion of the prayer I,' asking the health of the president of the Tinted States and all iu authority" and asking "the tafety and preservation of the nation" enme Into yesterday. The omission of the words "the governor of this state" from the evening prayer also caused con siderable debate, but tho commission re port to omit the words finally .teas adopted.- Changes In Commandments. The report of the joint commission on the revision of. commandments which recommends the shortening of the Ten Commandments is yet to come before the deputies for consideration. In its present position on the caleudar of the 'liouse it is likely to eome up for debate late today or tomorrow. The report pro poses the following changes from the ("resent commandments, if the report is adopted the commandments will read: 1 No change from present. 2 Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image nor the likeness of anything that is iu heaven above or in the earth beneath or in the water under lie earth; thou shalt not bow down to ttiom nor worship them. 3 Thou ehalt not take the name of -the Lord thy God in vain. A Itemember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. 5 Honor thy fnther and thy mother. (1 No change from the present. 7 Nonhango. 8 No change. 1 Thou shalt not bear false witness. 10 Thou shalt not covet anything tliat is thy neighbors. The proposed form eliminates words of explanation or nrgument for their observance. This is the part which it is proposed to eliminate because they are 'used in the litany of the church, which forms one of the most important parts of the Protestant Kpiscopul prayerbook.

Two receptions have been planned. Ono by republican women the other by 'fair democrats. The latter aro in turn sub-divided as to their mode of recep tion. Some have planned au austere dig nified protest, while an equal number inclined to the more militant, favor a repetition of the heckling party accord ed tho Hughesites at Portland.

If. any more German submarines put in to American harbors this government will guard against transmission of unneutral in formation to them. This clearly indicated today from the activities of neutrality experts at Newport, probing the 'talks of civilian visitors n board th l'-5;l iu her recent stay there. The British suggestion that valuable information may have beea given the German vessel is having weight. Officials generally, however, do not look for genuine complications with England, despite the serious discussion of the matter yesterday by Foreign Secretary Grey in the house of lords. Grey's talk, pointed to as full of in timations, rather than direct charges or protests, was thought by some authori ties here to have been in the nature of an offset to-American protests against British interference with mails.

(United Press staff correspondent.) Chicago, Oct. 18. Governor Hughes made his second incursion into Michigan today in the best fighting trim ho hus enjoyed since tho republican convention here choso him standard beurer for the party. There wasn't any question that the nominee was pleased with the impreB sion which he made on his big uudience in Sioux -City last-night. As on prev ious occasions during his stumping tours, it was the heckler who started Hughes spilling real fireworks. - Aroused and stimulated by the way in which his 'audience supported him and sought to drown hecklers by booing, Hughes "cut loose." Never before in his presidential campaigning litis the nominee been more earnestly emphatic, more dramatic or forceful than when he hurled his vitriolic denial to any charge that he wus ossoeiuted with "invinible government" and coupled this with a pledge that if elecfed he would flnve " visible" government. Hughes arrived in Chicago shortly be fore noon and remained on his private car while it was being transferred from one road to another. The candidate slept lute on his train todpy, benig con siderably fagged out by last night's experience and, moreover, favored by a schedule which did not provide any pub lic apeparnnce for him until late this afternoon, Hughes expected to make the tariff and labor issues the main bur den of his discussions in Michigun.

Yoder (United Press staff correspondent) Aboard Roosevelt's Train, Corbin, Ky., Oct. IS For the first time in his western stumping tour for Governor Hughes, Colonel Roosevelt todav gave one of his specific reusons why the re publican candidate should succeed President Wilson at the White House. "President Wilson," said Roosevelt. "by adroit elocution has stilled the spirit of patriotism in the tuition's breast. Against this man of mere elo cution, we have put in Mr. Hughes, the mnn whose intellectual straightforward ness; whoso, rugged strength of char acter and whose courageous sincerity of purpose, give us guarantee that ev ery promise he makes, either expressed or implied, will bo made good by his actions." Roosevelt's speech here was impromp tu. "I feel," he said, "that primarily tho great count against Mr. Wilson is that by his substitution of words for deeds and his betrayal of his fine words by his deeds, he has loosed tho spring of American put riot ism and hus dulled the moral sense of our peoplo "Moreover, in addition to the fact that his deeds have made his lofty ut terances matters of contemptous de rision, some of his words themselves have eaten into the minds of our peo ple with the acid of degradation, "A little . while ago in one- of our largo cities a school teacher doclinod to allow the children in his class to sing patriotic songs. It is smnll wonder that such should be the cuse when the chief executive sets the kind of example that President ilson has set. "if the president is inspired by tho sinking of the Lusitania with tho loss of DUO lives only to make his remark about being too proud to fight, it is not to bo wondered at that some of his friends should feel reluctant to sing the 'Star Spangled Bunner.' "If the president ventures to raise his voice in protest against the treach erous murder of Boyd and Aduir and their troopers, those who lollow nun are to be excused for refusing to sing America. The election of Mr. Hughes is the only way by which we can-now restore the tone of the national con science and give to our people once more the feeling of the duty of patriot ism." CAEEIOAN TO BB BANKER Lewiston, Maine, Oct. 18. Bill (ar rigan, who lately piloted the Red Sox to two successive world's champion shins, will become a banker, he ad mitted today.

Re cruiting agents will be sent to the Unit ed States, to Egypt, Cyprus and Patris, if the desired permission is secured.' Athens, Oct. 18. Threatened with attack by a huge crowd of anti-ally demonstrators, the - French - marine forces that occupied ' the municipal theatre has abandoned the building and encamped in the Zeappaucou Gar dens, near tho royal palace.

Anti-ally leaders are work ing among tho crowds, denouncing the allies for wising the Greek warships and attempting to stir the mobs to new demonstrations of hostility toward the allies' sailors. - - Thus far there has been no serious clash between the allied troops and the anti-ally crowds. Several thousand Greeks, gathered, in the Btreets near the squnre surrounding tho theatre, watched the transfer of the FTcncli marines, but there was no demonstra tion except an ocensi nal shout. Tho allies havo detained 25 carloads of ammunition at Volo, in Thessuly, which wns destined for the interior of Thessnly. It is Buspectcd that the am munition was being shipped to enemies of the allied powerB. Athens is virtuully under martial law. All sorts of alarming rumors are in circulation, but cool heads are at tempting t'. prevent a claxh between French sailors and tho civilian demon strators that would develop into street fighting with most serious conse quences.

Great crowds had gathered to watch Orcek sailors from the .ships taken over by the allied powers, in re view before King Constantino. As the parade ended and the king took hia departure amid cheers, several shouts of "down with Venizclos! " and "down with the allies!" were heard. A Greek politician, a supporter of Veniaelos, was. recognised bv several in the crowd, set upon and badly beaten without in terference by the police. Shortly afterward French marines, landed at Piraeus on reports that riota wero threatening, reached. the capital and took possession of the municipal theater.
