PLAN TO ENTERTAIN KNIGHTS
Catholic Order of ST. John to Con-

CINCINNATIO. June 5.-Cincinna-

to entertain thousands of sir knights
of the military rank of the Knights
of st. John. which will hold its an
nual international convention and en-
campment in this city June "a, 20, 26
and 27. Arrangements are being
made to entertain 10000 visitors, the
number expected, and the hotels and
boarding houses are cooperating with
the general committee to furnish am
pie accommodations for the crowds
Principal among the questions to
he considered by the convention Is
that of amalgamating all the Catholic
societies of the United States into
one general organization. Action on
this matter was deferred at the
Philadelphia meeting last June until
the Cincinnati convention.
Reduced rates on all trunk lines

shown determination to prevent dis
cussion of the treaty in the chamber
by wilfully sidetracking different COM
mercial tariff bills. the chief aim of
which was to revive the subject of the
treaty. NJ. Dansette, deputy for Nord.
who is perhaps the most bitter enc
my of the treaty. said:
Nothing is more calculated to COM
pass the downfall of the cabinet than
the persistent disposition to foist on
the country this unfair, uneconomic
treaty. which has been effectively de-
layed on the other side of the sea by
the same considerations which those
it hurts on this side have been unable
successfully to urge upon the govern
ment."
Some light is thrown on this i'm
plication by the statement, made by
one of the largest manufacturers of
cotton goods in the north of France.
who said:
With the present cabinet in power
there is no hope that the present trea-
ty will ever be thrown out here. NJ.
Millerand minister of commerce, Is
determined to hold on to the treaty
until the last gasp. but the new ap-
prehension over the threatened Amer
lean manifold commercial invasion OF
the continent has played directly into
the hands of the opponents of the
treaty, greatly weakening the parlia-
mentary majority in favor of it. The
natural enemies of the treaty in Pas
de Calais and other northern depart
ments have been very active lately.
Therefore it is probable that NJ. Cam
bon's early return is caused by the
possibility of a revival of the discus
sion of the treaty in the chamber
