GERMAN OFFENSE
Encyclical Reference to Martin
Luther Withdrawn so Far
as Concerns Empire

BERLIN, June 1.-THE Vatican has
replied to the protest of the Prussian
government against the encyclical is
sued by the pope on the occasion of
the tercentennial of the canonization
of st. Charles Borroineo. The reply
disavows any intention of offending
German Protestants, and says the en-
cyclical is withdrawn so far as Ger
many is concerned
In the encyclicaI the pope. extolling
Borromeo as the champion of Catholic
ism against Protestant reformation,
said he established at the time of the
council of Trent that the principles
of Catholicism had been undermined
by Martin Luther. The reference was
resented by German Protestants, and
in reply to an Interpolation in the
Prussian diet, Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hellweg said that the matter
had been taken up with the Vatican.
Today the government published an
abstract of the correspondence with
Rome. The results are set forth as
follows:
"First-The curia expresses regret
over the whole affair.
''Second-It repeats the assurance
that the encyclical was not intended
to insult either the German people or
German Protestants
"Third-The bishops not alone of
Prussia, but Of all Germany, have been
instructed by the pope not to make
the encyclica1 known in the diocese.
"Fourth-The curia authorizes the
publication of the correspondence"

Increased Cost of
Living Decreases
Size of Families
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, June 1.-THE
increased cost of living is di-
minishing the size of the Amer
lean family, according to the
statement made today by Joseph

fee of the state superintendent
of public instruction, in pointing
out the decrease in the number
of children compared with the
increase in the number of fami-
lies as shown in the school CEN
sus returns now coming into the
Office.
The full returns this year will
show marked falling off in the
number of children, says Wood,
showing that it costs too much to
rear youngsters nowadays. He
points, for example, to the re-
turns received today for Sacra-
mento county.
II is shown that in this city in
the last year that the increase in
census children was 81, yet the
families increased 249. The total
number of families last year in
this city was 4,S7l. The school
children numbered e,523 in this
city and 11.177 for the county,
which has 1917 families.
The number of families does
not include the thousands of
households in which there are no
children at all. The school CEN
sus marshals counted only the
families having children from
TO IL years of age.

has decided that henceforth all coming
CT gold shall be in the. San Francisco
mint and that all coming of silver is
to be done in the Denver mint.
This order takes away from the
Philadelphia mint all the coming of

will hereafter be confined to 1 and 5
cent pieces. When sufficient of these
are on hand it is feared that the

Secretary Mcyeagh says that he has
found that the coming of gold can be
done more economically if confined to
the San Francisco mint, and in line
with this all the work will be done
there.
This undoubtedly will mean that the
San Francisco mint will be able to keep
full force of employees at work con-
stantIy- Incidentally it will mean in
creased revenues to the railroads.
Bankers in Philadelphia are compelled
to pay $3.50 freight charges for each
