BRIDES MUSTSTILL "OBEY

Episcopalians Put Off

Change in MarriageService

Bt Louis, Ort. lfi. Elimination of

the word "obey" from the marriageservice was recommendcd to-day in a

minority report submitted by the Jointcommission on common prayer'to the

House of Pcputies of the Protestant

Episeopal General Convention. It was

urged that the present injunction be-

gining "Wilt thou obey him and senrn

hirn?'' be changed to '"Wilt thou love

him. comfort him. honor and keep him,

ia sickness and ia health. and. forsak-

ing all others, keep thee only unto

him so long as ye shall live?"Two other changes in the marriage

aervire were suggested. It was pro¬

posed to expuntre the e.pression "As

I.aac and Rebecca lived faithfully <'-

gethcr," etc. and substmite merely'.l,ying faithfully together." It is

pointed out that there is no reason why

Isaac and his wife should be regardedas models when there were many o'her

husbands and wives equally fmthful.

Bealdae, the reference to those I'.ibli-

eal paiaaaagaa ia reparded as out of

data.Would Omit "Worldlv l.noda'

The third change suggested is the

omission of the words "ai.d with all

my worldly goods I thee endow." This

eirpression is a relic of old Knglishlaw, under which the dower rights of

women werr guaranteed. The argu¬

ment is advanced that to-day the riurs-

tion Involved is a civil one and to be

taken for granted.All proposed changes in the mar-

nage ceremony. the cateehism an.l

the instltution of olergymen were 1*8*

ferred by the House of Deputieg back

to the commission on prayer book.

These questions cannot be brought be¬

fore the general convention again for

three years. The commission, consist-

ing of aeven bishops, seven clei-gymenatxd seven laymen. under the chair-

man«hip of the Hight Bar. CourtlandtWhitehead, Rishop of Pittsburgh, wa*

appointed at the ion convention to

revise and enrich the Book of Common

Prayer.Among the changes recommendcd in

the majority report is the shorteningof the first five commandments in thecommunion service and the eliminationfrom the C.ood Friday prayer of theworda "Have mercy upon all Jewa,Turks, infidrls and heretics," it beingargued that mentioning the Jewa and

Turks In ronnection with infidels is

dinrespectful and inaccuratc.

Change* In Commandmrnta

The revised version of the five com¬

mandments as proposed follows: 1.

Thou shalt have no other (ioda butme. li. Thou shalt not make unto thy-telf any graven im»i*e, nor the hkencsaof anything that ia in the 888881 888.8,the eart'n .eneath. "r in thc water"

GREEK REBELSRECOGNIZED

Allies Approve Veni¬zelos as Ruler

of Crete

London, Oct. Id. The Allies to-dayrecognized the government set up byVenizelo*. in Crete. Thus the Greekquestion enters on a new phase.No recognition has been accorded to

the Lambros Cabinet at Athens, forits promises have not satisfied theAllied demands. Since its formationdrastie measures hsv> He,.,, founinecessary tha seixure of the Greekfleet and of the railway to Pira-us.Thus, while King Cor.stantine'j own

government has not received the ianc-tion of the Kntente, the revolutionaryCabinet has. The conclusion seems tobe that hereafter Venizelos, the manwho has defied Kinp ("onstantine, arillreceive all the backing the Kntentecan give.The Lambros Cabinet has given little

hope to those who look for Greek in-tervention in the war soon. it hasannounced that it will be guided byth>* Kaloperopoulos policy. This policy,

¦; belierad, found no aeceptance inthe Kntente.Tne Eatsata consuls at Canea, the

capital of t'rete, where the question ofofficial re.-ognition tirst arose, have beer.instmeted to act il accordance with thedecision of th.- Kntente, according toofficial annouticement.The dispatches da not atate whether

the Allies have extended their recogni¬tion to embrace any other parts ofGreece, but it is expected that shortlyall the established members of theVenizelos government, wherever sta-tioned, will receive the same unqualificdrecognition.

The capture by Foch's troopa of part;of the village of Sailly-Sailltsel and po¬sitions on the road to Bapaume. ln thatsector, marks another important stepin the drive on Bapaume. Another dayshould aee the completion of the in¬vestment of the village. With that ob-stacle remored, the French will be ableto sweep forward along tha Bethuneroad to the east of Transloy, which willthen be placed in «uch a pocket as that

which resulted in the capture ofCombles.The fall of Transloy will stralghten

out the whole Allied front which formsthe base of the Bapaume triangle. Thenthe British can continue operations in

conjunction with the French, the two

armies moving north toward their ob-

Jective on both sides of the constantlynarrow-.ng triangle.The French success eouth of the

Somme, while only sllght, serves to

strengthen their grip on the lines -longwhich lie Chaulnes and Barleux, thebastions of the enemy's defences south

of Peronne. Only a f'w more galns ara

? Anticipatmg thia asaault from Buko«wina, the Teutons struck northward to*day and threw the Czar's troops acrosethe Negra Valley, near the Rumanianborder. In the Kirlibaba sector, to th*northwast, they also assumed the of¬fensive, but thia attack fuiled, leaving1,200 priaoners fn the Russians' hands.This move against the Russians is

alded greatly by the lateral railwayaon the Transylvania side of the fron¬tier, enabling Falkenhayn to coneen-

itrste his troopa easily. T'ndoubtadly ltwill divert more of the Czar's troopafrom tha attack before Lemherg.

Ten Miles from (.ampolungThe Rumanian situation contlnues to

be serious. Although King Ferdinand'stroopa have had time to fortify ali theborder pasaes, Falkenhayn is batteringat the defences without pause. Eachhour the Rumanian line holds lessensthe Teuton chanca of breakir.g through,for the Allied commands are taking altmeasures to relieve the pressure.For the moment tho greate.it danger

la in the Tor.burger Pass, where theGermans aro atrikirg for the railwayto the capital. Campolung is only tenmiles beyond their reach and it lies onthe edge of the Rumanian plain.

Falki-nhayn'a advance here, however,Has produeed a deep salient in his line.To the east, along the border, the Ru¬manians are holdmg their ground,.«vhi!e to the weet they are making slowprogress in their counter offenHive.I'nless Falkenhayn can etraighten hialine an 88*88888 out of the pass carrieswith it a serious danger to both flanks.

Thrown Back to Border

In Eastern Transylvania the Ru¬manians have yielded little ground. Inthe Oituz Valley, where the Teutonahad succeeded in forcing their wayacross the frontier, King Ferdinand'stroops threw them back. Only south ofKronstadt and to the east were the Ru¬manians compelled to give way.Meanwhile there are indicationa that

the fighting in the Uobrudja will soon

be rejumed. Apparently tha Teutonshave drawn heavily on these forees to

strengthen the blow against the Ru¬manians. Petrograd me.« sages to-dayreported that the enemy had fallen backto Uobrich, in Southern Uobrudja.

Activity continues on both wings ofthe Macedor.ian front. The battle inwhich. the Serbians, the French and theRussians are opposing the Bulgarssouth of Monastir is still undecided,but the Serbs have made progress in

the bend of the Cerna. On the rightwing the operations against Seres ara

developing. French troops have cut tharailway south of the town, which isrow separatcd from Uemir Hassar.
