tracted by the discussions of social and ethical
questions The Downtown Ethical Society. at
No. SO Madison-st. is conducted similar
lines. and there much charitable and education
al work is also done.
The Ethical Record is a bi-monthly publica-
ton which is edited by Percival Chubb, who is
also the representative of the society on the
editorial staff of THE International Journal of
Ethics in which ethical questions are dis
cussed. The Sunday school offers to its pupils
advantages similar to those In the church
schools, and the instruction which is begun here
is continued and broadened in the young wOm-
ems afternoon classes and the young mems
clubs which meet on Sunday evenings. The
society maintains a district nursing department..
which contributes largely the relief of distress
among the poor population. and the womens
conference. which. besides doing much charita-
bic work, maintains lecture platform for the
study of social and ethical problems. BY these
influences many persons are attracted who
would otherwise find it impossible to become ac-
tive in the society.
one of the recent worthy additions 10 the So
cietys list of institutions is the Fresh Air Home
in Sullivan County, which was organized by the
Young Mems Union. They acquired large tract
of land and established summer colony which
has been named Felicia Here children from the
homes of the less fortunate citizens are cared
for on the plan which has been carried on sue
cessfully for many years by The Tribune Fresh
Air Fund.

War In Colombia.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Attorney
General Knox made his report on the
validity of the title to the Panama
canal to President Roosevelt Satur.
day. The report was very exhaustive
and covered about 300 pages. He
holds that the title Of the Panama
Canal company is good.
Non-action ON the part of the gov.
eminent of Colombia on the pend.
ing isthmian canal treaty is post
poning the appointment of the com
mission which is to take charge OF
the construction of the canal. 1t was
ut first supposed that as soon as
the Encouragement had satisfied
himself of the sufiiciency of the title
to the canal property that could be
conveyed by the French company, the
way would be clear for the appoint
ment of the commission and soon
after for the preparation Of the
specifications upon which the work
is to be done. Now it has developed
that the ratification of the treaty
with Colombia is long way off, ow'
ing to the fact that the Colombian con.
gress, before which the convention
must come, has not been elected ur
to this time. The delay is attribu'
ted to the existence of q state OF
war in Colombia.

A COMPARISON MADE.
A Greater Percentage OF lilitoracy Amonn
Native Oh ldren Than Those OF Foreign
Born Immigrants.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The census
Office has issued a statement giving
q compilation Of figures regarding
illiteracy among children of immi-
grants and children of natives. The
statement says: "Confining the COM
parison to children between the ages
Of 10 and IA years in the United
States 97.96 per cent. Of the native
white children Of native parents and
s9.1 per cent. Of the native white
children of foreign-born parents are
able to read and write. This sur
prising difference in favor of the
children of the foreign-born popula-
ton is due largely to the fact that
the children of the foreign-born i'm
migrants live mainly in the northern
and western states, where the public
school system has already reached
q high degree Of efficiency. while
great numbers of native white chill
dren of native parents live in the
southern states and in that region
about 10 per cent. Of such children
are illiterate."
