Tokyo, Augu. 20.—Illuminated by great batteries of lights by which jmore than a hundred Japanese naval mechanics worked to refuel her, the ! globe-circling Graf Zeppelin was al- I most ready tonight for her trans-Pa- j cific flight to Los Angeles, the last ! great test of her flight around the I world to Lakehurst. The dirigible’s departure remains fixed at 4 a. m., Thursday, Japanese jtime (2 p. m. Wednesday, Eastern .standard time) provided the weather I permits. Indications tonight from the Japanese weather bureau were that favorable conditions for the Pacific flight would reign for several days. While the majority of the officers and crew retired early tonight after a day of strenuous entertainment, out at Kasumigaura air field the work of refueling the Graf and replenishing her stores proceeded steadily.

The Japanese weather survey of the whole western Pacific area disclosed no major disturbances anywhere. If the Graf averages as fast a pass age over the Pacific as over Europe and Asia, or approximately 1,700 miles daily, she should reach American ter ritory by Saturday and sail over Los Angeles early Sunday. It was officially indicated that Dr. I Hugo Eckener intended to follow the I great circle steamship route northeast I from Kasumigaura.

Young Plan Still Being Discussed By Experts. The Hague, Aug. 19.—Announce ment that British troops would begin to leave the Rhineland on Sept. 1 was the only positive development of the day at The Hague conference. Discussion of the Young plan for German reparations is for the moment in the hands of experts of the credit or powers. Two things are holding up the fi nancial and political committees of the statesmen and must be decided be fore further progress is possible. The jurists mqst decide whether the com mittee for control of armaments on the left bank of the Rhine, which the French asked for as a condition for evacuation, is legally-justified by the treaties before dates can be fixed' for complete liberation of the occupied German territory. The financial experts must decide what is the money value or the offer made by the four other leading cred itor powers to Great Britain to satis fy her demand for a greater share in reparations before further effort can be made to come to an agreement on adoption of the Young nlan. Both of these committees of experts worked steadily today without any definite indication of when they will be finished. The financial experta thought they would have something to report tomorrow. Otherwise there was nothing today but surmises and rumors to keep the conference before the public eye. It was rumored that Albert Pirelli was going to Italy to obtain authority to make concessions/on the Italian share of unconditional annuities, but as soon as he heard of it he cancelled his trip, which was for an entirely different purpose.

There are 54,624,976 church mem bers in this country. The value of church edifices is |8,- 842,577,133. Church expenditures total more than $800,000,000 a year. More than a billion- dollars a year go to churches in philanthropic gifts. The staggering proportions of the physical angle of religion in the Unit ed States—and the figures are reli able, for they come from the federal department of commerce—are strik ing proof of the fact that the United States, in spite of its crime and its vice abPut which one hears to much these days, is a religious nation. There are more church members in the United States than there are wage earners In the nation’s industries— more than lO.OOO.OOO more. There are almost twice as many church edifices in this country as there are manufacturing establishments. There is almost as much money in vested in the churches of the nation as there was on deposit in the national banks of the land in 1887. Yet the peak of religious interest in the United States has not been reach ed, according to^hese same* records. During the last decade, for example, the churches of the nation added' 12,- 698,122 new members to their con gregations, and a total of 5,265 new church edifices were constructed. Be sides a dozen new religious denomina tions were formed. The value of church properties increased nearly $2J200,000,000 during the same period. Besides these figures do not include buildingrs simply hired for religious services or those used for social or or ganization work in connection with the church. The churches range in size all the way from the Theosophical Society of New York, with one church and half a hundred members, to the Roman Cath olic church, with 18,940 churches and 18,605,003 members at the time the records were compiled.
