CATHOLICS HAVE A
LEAD OVER ALL
OTHERS
The Religious Census Shows
That Denomination Has
Greatest Membership
WORK IS NOT
QUITE COMPLETE
Four Districts Still Missing
-Colored People Prefer
Methodism

With four sections yet to be heard
from. the reports of the Grand Forks
religious census show that the Cath
olics have the largest church men,
bership in the city.
When the remaining enumeration
districts are tabulated, the Catholic
church will have in the neighborhood
of 1000 members, according to the
records of the enumcrators.
Second on the list will be the con-
gregatton Of lions Lutheran church,
with O membership of something over
1000. The Methodists will hold third
place, with IL membership of about
500.
The Presbyterians. Trinity Luther
ans and Baptists will break about
even for fourth place, the reports 10Y
in the hands of the committee indi-
cate.
There are twenty-one different de-
nominations represented in a
Forks. and twenty-four denominations
are checked off on the religious cen
sus cards.
The cards show that there are q
number of Unitarians, Universalists
and Adventists in the city that have
no church here.
About 100 Refuse Information.
Inc enumefdIOTS were OILY refused
information at 100 homes in the city,
In almost every case, the cnumerators
say, they We're given all the data they
desired and moro.
The census brings to light the fact
that a number of Grand Forks fam
lilies are a combination of members
Of the Catholic and Presbyterian
churches. In these families there is
reported to be little church going and
the children invariably attend the
Catholic Sunday school. Tho reports
also show that Catholics and Luther
ans have married in several cases.
In the ensus reports it is also
noticeable that there are many men,
bers of the Jewish church in the city
and a number of Scientists.
Colorcd People Prefer MethOdism.
The colored preference is for the
Methodist church and a majority OF
the colored population is reported to
be church going.
The tabulation of the census was
not completed at the Y. NJ. c.. A. as
expected Tuesday night. because re-
turns were not in from -four sections

NO Emotion
OVER THE CHANGE
China Prepares For Annual
Holiday as New Republic
Is Born

London. Feb. 1.-THE British gov
eminent has been enabled to show
Its sympathy with the views Of the
to China. In a substa initial n by
prevailing on japan to postpone loans
to Chinese companies, the proceeds
Of which might reach either the re-
publicans Or imperials.
Secretary Of State Knox through
the United States embassy in London,
called the attention of the British for
eign Office to the proposed purchase
by the Japan Mail Steamship com.
pany of the China Merchants Marine
company al an indirect wa Of sup
plying the republicans with funds.
At that time Japan was able to re-
ply that the Hong Kong and Shang-
hal bank already had made a loan
to the China Merchants Marine com.
pany, part Of which it was presumed
ven to the Republicans.
When the proposed loan to the
Hankow Railway company by the
Okura Arms and Ammunition com
pany was reported Secretary Knox
again called the attention Of the Brit.
ish government to the subject ana Sir
Edward Grey once more approached
the Japanese government.
On this occasion Japan proposed
that the powers should permit thier
nationals from kaing loans to either
side. but Great Britain had no power
to do this and proposed instead that
the powers should use their influence
with their nations to prevent loans.
The Japanese government has
agreed to do this.
