false and prejudical articles, the es-
tablishment of a bureau of informa-
ton, are among its aims. It's MEM

For Cardinal Gibbons Ju-
biIee at Baltimore In
June.

While no definite programme has
been mapped out for the observance
of the golden jubilee of Cardinal
Gibbons ordination to the priest
mood and the silver jubilee of the
bestowal upon him of the red

cussion of the nature of the function

ing of the priests will be called on

Bishop and several priests will be-
gin January "a and which will last

known that he wanted as little dis
play as possible. At present II is
contemplated to have a service in
the Baltimore Cathedral to which
church dignitaries from all over the
country will be invited. A process
sion of all the school children of
the archdiocese is being considered,
and some arrangements along this
line may be carried out. Following
the celebration IN Baltimore, 1t is
Contemplated holding a reception at
the Catholic University. To this re-
ception It is expected that President
Taft and other Government officials
will be invited, together with the
members of foreign embassies and
legations and the South American
This will be the
first time a dual event of this kind
occurred in this country. and as the
Cardinal is known throughout the
world II will attract much attention.

Diplomats Here Not
Invited by Turkey
To Join Conference

The Department of State has re-
ceived no invitation from Turkey to
participate in a conference over the
TripoH situation. If this country is
TO be asked to use its good offices in
Influencing Italy to withdraw from
the African state, no intimation of
that fact has been officially received.
Announcement has been made in
Constantinople that the Turkish ad-
ministration, before engaging Italy in
actual warfare, had decided to call
upon the powers to interfere The
Turks hoped by that to convince Italy
that no real casus belli existed and
that a peaceable settlement of the
present troubles was possible.
The Turkish minister is still at the
legations summer headquarters in
Manchester. If he should receive any
important communication from his
government bearing upon the dispute
over Tripoli, he will return at once to
this city.
The Administration here is watching
the difficulty With keen interest, and
hoping that the signs of war will
clear away.
