CATHOLIC WOMEN WAR
ON WHITE SLAVERS
Washington, D. c., Sept, 25.-
The Catholic women of America
are planning nationwide war
on white slavery.
This is the result of the dis
closures made by DR.. Mary
.O'Brien Porter, of Chicago, at
the National Conference of Cath
olic charities in session here.
DR.. Porter minced no words.
From her professional and charit-
able work in Chicago she has
come to know something of the
true conditions. She was not
afraid to tell them.
Girls are sold into white slav-
cry as sheep are sold in the mar
ket in Chicago" she said. "The
extent of the white slave trade is
almost beyond belief.
"Over $500 Chicago men are
today making their living from
the earnings of unfortunate wo-
men. 1t is a very profitable bust
ness for the men,"
The great conference of women
stared at the speaker aghast.
Then DR.. Porter said that if any
one doubted her statements she
could prove them.
The nationwide war on the
white slavers is the result. The
war will be in the hands of the
National Federation of Catholic
Women's League.

treaty. The upshot Of this was the
treaty Of Berlin, which limited the

curtailed the Montenegrin frontier and
restored big tracts of the appropriated
territory to Turkey. Servia, on the
other hand. was considerably enlarged
as result Of the treaty. With these
changes the complete Independence of
the principalities Of Servia, Roumania
and Montenegro was recognized. The
claims of Greece. which had been ig-
nOred at San Stefano, were admitted
at Berlin, much to that country's ter
ritorial gain.
Roumania was proclaimed a kingdom
in 1881 and Servia during the follow
ing year. Following naval demon
stration by the powers in 1880, Dull
cigno was given back to Montenegro
by Turkey. In compensation the Otto
man empire got the districts Of PLAYA

Europe sanctioned the union Of Bull

Crete was withdrawn from the Turk

clans, who peopled the peninsula be-

Wednesday morning Mr.. Lewis gave
the high school brief account of the
progress of the Balkan War. The
Turkish troops are so weakened and de-
moralized that they will offer no effec-
tive resistance to the advance of the
Allies. AS much as can be learned
from dispatches up to date, Russia and
France are in favor of letting the Allies
reap what territorial benefits they will.
But Austria Hungary, in particular,
with Germany and Italy, are opposed to
any such plan. England is in doubt.
These conditions are likely to change
at any time. Foreign nations are send
ing battleships to Constantinople to
protect their countrymen and Christians
from armed mobs. In speaking to the
high school MIR. Lewis said, 1.-THE Balkan
War is the most important war waged
in Europe since 1876. 1t means the
possible rise of a new power in the
world, with Bulgaria at the head. His
tory now in the making, concerning
principally the Mexican and Chinese
rebellions and the Balkan War is much
more important to the student of to-
day than the dry, dead annals of hun
dreds of years ago. In the new histor-
les, not so much space will be granted
the older nations of the world as to
the newer ones, China and Mexico,
where radical changes are brought
about at the present time" For these
reasons the high school has secured
subscriptions to number of reliable
periodicals, which the pupils may per-
use at their leisure.
