School War IN
France Reaches
Acute Stage
Bishops Forbid Catholics to Send
Their Children to the Public
Schools.

PARIS, Nov. S.-The situation resulting
from the French Episcopate's declaration Of
war against the public schools and the eff
fort to mobilize the Catholic voters for
the coming general election is rapidly en-
tering an acute stage,
Monsignor Gely and other bishops have
publicly forbidden Catholic parents to send
their children to public schools If Catholic
schools are available, and parents every
where are urged to refuse to allow their
children to use the interdicted text books
Considerable generalization Of the schools
has been caused already. M. Deumergue,
minister of public instruction, has ordered
an investigation of the situation, which
probably will determine the governments
ultimate attitude.
The decision of the teachers association,
comprising 10000 members, to test in the
courts the church's right to interfere with
the public schools will be followed by dam
age suits instituted by the authors of the
interdicted text books.
Monsignor Dabelorg, archbishop Of Rem
mes, in a statement just issued, declares
that Catholic voters must rally to the pro-
lection of the church.
The catechism is being revised for teach
ing that it is a religious duty to vote for
the candidate who is pledged to defend
church interests.

TUBERCULOSIS Due TO DUST
twenty-five Per Cent Of Deaths Are
Due to This Disease.
MUNICIPAL DUST DANGEROUS
Death Rate II Highest Among
Persons Between Ages OF Twen-
ty-Five and Thirty-Nine
Years.

WASHINGTON. Nov. S-That approx
mately Is per cent of the deaths OF per
sons whose occupations expose them to
municipal dust and to gener9! organic dust
are due to tuberculosis Is the startling
fact disclosed in a bulletin prepared at
the bureau Of labor by Frederick l.. Hoff-
man. Though the statistics studied by Mr..
Hoffman indicate that municipal and gem
eral organic dusts are less serious in their
effect than metal or mineral dust. the
consequences to health and life. he says,
are sufficiently serious to demand careful
attention to the problem Of dust pre-
v~cntion.
According to insurance mortality expert
ence 26.5 per cent Of death in occupations
with exposure to municipal dust were due
to consumption, and occupations exposed
to general organic dust the proportion was
% per cent. As compared with these pro-
portions 14.S per cent Of death Of males
10 years Of age and over in the registra-
ton area Of the United States were from
consumption. Among occupations exposed
to municipal dust those showing the high
est mortality were drivers and teamsters,
among whom $50 per cent of deaths were
from tuberculosis. Among occupations ex-
posed to general organic dust, button
makers showed the highest mortality, 1913
per cent of deaths in this occupation being
from consumption.
In each of the two groups the highest
consumption mortality was among persons
from Is to "a years old, the proportion
among persons of these ages being 800
per cent in occupations exposed to mu-
nicipal dust and 40 per cent in those ex-
posed to general organic dust as COM
pared with 31.S per cent of males OF the
same ages in the registration area.
NAVAL of urkey
WASHINGTON. Nov. S--The Turkish
ministry will urge upon the Ottoman Par
Lament soon after It reconvenes November
15, the adoption of a naval program pro-
viding for the expenditure within the next
seven years of 800, 900, 900. According to
this program, it is learned here, seven bat
tleships of the North Dakota type will
be constructed, together with a number Of
torpedo destroyers and one hospital ship.
For the next fiscal year an application
of $12, O0O,0O0 to begin the construction Of
two Of the proposed warships will be
asked. In order to carry out this building
program it probably would be necessary
to negotiate further loans in addition to
the one closed this fall.
The decision Of the ministry is said to
be in keeping with the general attitude Of
the people. Contributions to a public fund
for the construction of battleships are
said to be pouring in by the thousands.

GLOOM IN HAwKEYE CAMP
Defeat By Drake Puts Iowa Out of
Championship.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Nov. S.-(Special)-
Gloom has settled over Iowa's athletics.
The defeat of the foot ball team By Drake
Saturday at Des Moines putting the Hawk
eyes out of the state championship has
effectually dampened the enthusiasm
stirred by the eleven's splendid work
against the Nebraska team.
why could not the Iowa eleven play
foot ball in the first half?" was the uni
lVersal question after both the Missouri and
Drake defeats. In the second half Coach
Griffith's men nave played their opponents
off their feet, but have lost, first by one
point and later by three points.
The squad came through the Drake game
in fair condition considering the fact that
the Iowa team has one of the most trying
schedules that could be devised. Bell,
bright guard is probably out Of the game
for the rest of the year because OF a
broken hand and a badly injured ankle,
Captain Gross and O'Brien were completely
exhausted following the game, but they
were fully recovered yesterday.
The game next Saturday against Ames
will be a hard one, not to say anything
of the final game of the season against the
Kansas near champions at Lawrence. The
coaches have almost despaired of keep
ing the team at top notch for both of
these contests and every effort will be
made to concentrate on the contest against
the Aggies.
