the teaching force. Vassar, Smith,
Radcliffe and Bryn Mawr employ both
men and women, While in the coeduca-
tional institutions male teachers are
predominant Still there is always the
rivalry between the students of either
sex, and no one may say that the in
trusion of women into the colleges has
not been of value. Coeducational in
stitutions are more numerous in the
central and western states than in the

FLOODS ARE RECEDING;
DISTRESS CONTINUES
Loss in Paterson and Passaic
Will Amount to Over
$4,ooo,ooo

New York, Oct 13-With the reced-
ing Of the floods reported from all
quarters, Paterson, Passaic and the
other water swept New Jersey towns
are relieved Of further peril and are
beginning TO get a clear idea of the
extent of the devastation.
In Paterson alone the damage to
property is estimated at $1,000 600,
without taking account of the loss in
wages to the thousands who have been
temporarily deprived of occupation by
the shutting down of factories.
The water was reported to have
fallen six feet below the highest mark.
and the only possible source of damage
would be the bursting of the great wa
ter mains which were undermined by
the food The distress continues great,
and fully 500 persons are still COM
PEELED to seek food and shelter in the
armory. No additional fatalities were
reported throughout the day.
In Passaic the damage is estimated
to be at least equal to that in Pater-
son.
Many adjacent villages still were un-
der water today, but with the falling
Of the waters all danger Of a collapse
Of the great Dundee dam was declared
to be past.

POLICEMEN QUELL
RIOTERS At SAN JUAN
Forty Arrests Made and
Prisoners Sentenced to Six
Months Imprisonment

San Juan, P. R., Oct Ex-Governor
Hunt returned here from Ponce, where
he attended a banquet in celebration
of the extension of American railways
in the island. He was every where
received with demonstrations Of conf
dence and esteem. During the govern
or's absence the anti-American social
lists and anarchists had clash with
the police on the plaza of this city.
Forty arrests we're made and many Of
the prisoners were convicted and SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment,
including the Anarchist Conde, who
was recently convicted Of insulting the
American flag.
The clash was due to the socialists,
who attacked the police. The latter
ordered the mob to disperse, and on
meeting with a refusal they used their
clubs freely.
Americans here are particularly In
censed at the carrying Of black and
red flags and a craped American dae
by a mob as an incitement to disorder
Conde delivered a very offensive har-
angue IN which he approved Of the mol
resorting to bloodshed If necessary.
The Americans demand the punish
ment Of all the dangerous socialists
and are overwhelming Governor Hunt
with assurances Of support in Wig
orous campaign to uphold law and or
der. They urge that an immediate
deathblow be given to anarchy here.

BRIEF OF POPE
IS MADE PUBLIC
1t Relates Chiefly to the
Catholic University in
Washington
BROUGHT BY CARDINAL GIBBONS

Baltimore, Oct. 13.-Cardinal Glib
bons gave out the following transla-
ton of the brief of Pope Plus X. rela-
tive to the Catholic University In
Washington, which was brought by
Ills Eminence when he returned from
his attendance on the conclave:
ITO our beloved son, James Cardi-
nal Gibbons, cardinal priest of the
Holy Roman Church, with the title
of Santa Maria in Trastevere, arch
bishop of Baltimore and chancellor of
the Catholic University at Washing
ton.
"The condition of the university at
Washington has enlisted our deepest
sympathy and concern, inasmuch as
the report recently submitted by your
eminence deposes that its affairs are
not altogether so encouraging as we
could wish. II is meet that we should
follow the example of our predecessor
In the furtherance of noble projects,
more especially such as are Of great
moment and hold out the pormise of
large advantage. In this spirit we are
pleased to continue, and, as far as may
be, to increase in the exercise Of the
apostolic Office the interest which we
have ever cherished toward this dis.
tinguished American foundation.
Wherefore. we learn with genuine
satisfaction that the bishops charged
with the approval of all othere inter
acted IN fta vvalfora that a collection
be taken up in all the churches
throughout the United States annually
for 10 years on the first Sunday Of Ad
vent, or the first convenient Sunday
thereafter, with view of enhancing
the dignity and enlarging the infu
ence of this noble seat of learning.
"This plan. the result Of their joint
deliberations, we consider most bene
fetal. It IS, therefore. our earnest
wish and prayer that all the bishops
Of the country, as well as the faithful
who have at heart the progress OF
learning and religion, should labor
strenuously for the good of the uni
versity
"That God may be pleased gracious
ly to help this undertaking by His
grace, we lovingly import to you and
to the faithful committed to your care
the apostolic benediction.
"Given in Rome. at st. Peters. OF

RUSSIA AND JAPAN
SURE TO FIGHT
News From the Far East In
dicates That a Clash Is
Inevitable
NEGOTIATIONS REACH A CRISIS

London, Oct. 13.-All despaches from
the far east indicate that war between
Japan and Russia over the Korean and
Manchurian situations is inevitable,
and that news to the effect that hos
tilities have commenced may be looked
for at any hour. The latest messages
say that Japan has fully occupied Ma
sanpho with troops and that declara-
ton Of war is expected simultaneously
from TOXIC and St. Petersburg. The
foreign official says it has no confrma-
ton of the movement of troops
The correspondent of the Morning
Post" at Che-Foo says:
1T is stated that the Japanese have
decided to declare hostilities on the
expiration of their ultimatum to Rus
sia. The Russian feet has cleared from
Port Arthur" Later, he reported that
up to Sunday no change had
occurred in the situation, although
hostilities were believed to be immi-
nent and that the Russians had fixed
Friday next for eginning fighting.
In spite of the reassuring statements
of the foreign Office and Baron Hay
ashi, the frequent reiteration that hos.
tilities between Russia and Japan are
imminent, the mysterious movements
of the Russian and Japanese fleets and
the excited state of public opinion il
Japan are beginning to cause disquiei
In Great Britain, which, by reason oi
her alliance with Japan, is so init
mately concerned in any action which
the latter may take in the far east
Only the most sanguine persons be-
lieve that in the event of hostilitie:
they could be kept within the limits
which would free Great Britain from
her obligation to support her JAPANESE
ally. Even Baron Hayashi, who here
tofore has ridiculed all suggestion o
war, is not so optimistic. Indirectl,
he admits the possibility of war b.
expressing the hope that In the even
of a crisis Japan will have the activ'
sympathy of her ally, Great Britain.
While refusing to credit the report
of an ultimatum having been delivered
Baron Hayashi admitted that the di
plomatic situation had changed sine
October s. and that developments ma,
have arisen from the failure OF tn
Russians to fulfill their engagements /
evacuate Manchuria on that date. H
however. had heard nothing from hi
government on the subject.
