CATHOLICISM TO DIsPLACE ALL
Congregational Minister at Yale Says
Professionalism Is Passing.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April Grey.
DR.. Newman Smyth has written a book
which asserts that Professionalism has
passed into decay and is 10 be succeeded
by mOderniZed Catholicism. As he is
pastor Of Center Congregational church,
the oldest church in Connecticut, and is
member of the Yale corporation or uni
versity governing body, his book has
made Il great stir. 1t is divided into
three parts-"Passing Professionalism, :"
'Mediating Modernism and Coming
Catholicism"
While he sees the beginning Of the end
of the Protestant moyemcnt when it
comes to the future of Catholicism Dr..
Smyth by no means takes ground with
the representatives Of the IloInan Catho-
lie faith The disintegratiCn which is at
work i'll Professionalism is. according to
Or. Smytn, appearing III another form in
CathOlicism-that Of modernism.
As to the future OF Professionalism this
quotation is typical of Dr.. Smyth's gen
eraI view:
Facing the plain facts If life in view
Of the awful urgency of many cOnsidera-
tons Of modern civilization. can we hide
from ourselves the conclusion that a
church, disorganized and without unity
of effort, waging Il brave guerrilla war
fare with no grand strategy. cannot be
expected to overcome all righteousness
or to bring the peace Of Gods love
among all classes and considerations of

PLAN TO PUNISH
CASTRO is FUTILE
NEW YORK MERCHANTS DESCRIBE
VENEZUELAN EMBARGO AS
IMPRACTICABLE
MIGHT INVOLVE GREAT BRITAIN
Shipments from South American Repub-
lie Would Find Excellent Mar
kets Elsewhere.
WOULD LAUGH AT US"

NEW YORK, April 4.-The plan to
make reprisals upon Venezuela for her
failure to come to terms with the United
States on the question of pending Amer
lean claims by laying an embargo upon
Venezuelan products, forbidding their
Importation into this country, is de-
clared by the New York merchants en-
gagged in the Venezuelan trade and ia
miIiar with its conditions to be futile.
Castro Would Laugh.
Alfred DeBuys. an official of a prom
inent firm which has an important trade
with Venezuela, speaking of the plan to
place an embargo on Venezuelan aspL alt
and enact practically prohibitive duty
on coffee from that country. said:
Should the attempt be made to en-
force the policy SO ill-advised Castro
would simply laugh at US. To enforce
such an embargo would entail endless
difficulties ana even though we should
compel all Venezuelan products 10 be
plainly stencilled From Venezuela that
country would easily find a market for
her goods elsewhere.
Would Involve Others.
Should the attempt be made, as is re
ported. to check the expectation of
American products to Venezuela as well
as the importation of products from that
country, the islands of CurOcoa and Trim
dad, lying close to the Venezuelan coast,
would afford such tempting facilities for
the evasion of the embargo by American
shippers that we should be likely soon to
find ourselves embroiled on the one hand
with Great Britain, which owns Trim
dad, and on the other hand, with HOl-
land, as Curocao is Il Dutch possession"

ICE GIVES UP 4 SHIP
MILD WINTER FREES BOAT AFTER
LONG IMPRISONMENT.
Famous Exploring Investigator May Re-
turn to England from Arctic
Circle

VICTORIA, B. c., April 4-After
many years Imprisonment in the ice
fields of the Arctic, Sir Robert John lie
Mesurier McClu1e's famous exploring
ship the Investigator a typical example
of the old-time wooden ship, has been set
free, and it is hoped that she may be
brought around Alaska to Esquimault,
thence to be conveyed back to England
AdviceS received here by way of Daw-
son, brought out from Fort Mcpherson
by Audrey Forrest, snOwShOe courier,
are to the effect that owing to the warm
weather OF last summer and the mildnesS
OF the present winter the Investigator is
once more ahoat. \ full report of her
condition has been brought out by Capt.
Jarvis of the royal northwest mounted
police and by him transmitted to the
British admiralty.
Although the Investigator was long
since released from naval duty there is
considerable difference of opinion as to
her present ownership. When Jarvis left
the post ut HerSchel Island small vessels
could get alongside and there was little
difficulty i'll boarding the long imprisoned
ship. Mcclure, who died i'll 1873, aban-
doned the Investigator in latitude II de-
grees 80 minutes n. and longitude III
degrees % minutes w. in 1854 after four
winters in the ice of Mercy bay, on the
northern shore of Banks Land Supplies
and instruments We're left on board and
a considerable quantity are still in good
condition, thanks to the natural cold stor-
age of the northern zone. Until the sum
mer just passed no one had been on
board.
1t is believed that the Investigator was
the vessel sighted upon the barren Arctic
coast six years or more ago by mission
natives whose fancies, stimulated by
their religious teaching, led them to
report the finding of Noah's Ark. Several
of the wintering steam whalers are keep
