The baron was very successful in
maintaining the influence of Germany
in near Eastern affairs and it was
considered due to his diplomacy that
Germany,s standing in the Turkish
empire became so strong. When he
was nominated for the embassy in
London. early this year, IT was report
ed that he was to endeavor to bring
about an understanding between the
tive great rivals, Germany and Great
Britain.
However we'll founded the report
may have been that it was the EN-

effect a peaceful arrangement between
the two powers, the new ambassador
had little opportunity to bring it
about, for he arrived In London. June

COUNT Won sERNSToRFF
In Washington May Succeed Baron
Marshall.

Berlin, Sept 2i.-The name of the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, Count
Johann Heinrich Won Bernstorff, has been
mentioned unoflicially in diplomatic cir
cles as that of the possible successor to
the late Baron Marschall Won Bieber-
stein as German ambassador in London.
Count Won Bernstorff is reputed TO be
an ardent advocate of good German
Anglo relations.
1t had been rumored for some days
that Baron Won Bieberstein contemplated
retirement from the diplomatic service
ON account of impaired health. 1t is
stated that he was suffering from kidney
and liver ailments.
His death which resulted from paraly-
sis of the heart, was wholly unexpected

gotiatons for the Anglo-German under

lieved possible. His recent sojourn in
London is believed to have strengthened
his views in this direction.

The National Conference
Of Catholic Charities
Discusses Ways and Methods
OF Betiering The Conditions
OF Poor and Needy Persons, Both
Physically, Mentally, ReligiousIy.

Washington, Sept. 24-Remedial
legislation, including old age pensions
and unemployment insurance, was
proposed by Former Judge Michael L.
Girten of Chicago as a solution of the
problem of dependent children and
needy families at the second days
session of the National Conference OF
Catholic Charities, today.
Judge Girten said also that indus
trial insurance if properly managed,
would do much to prevent children
becoming dependent upon the state
He said if the plan of sickness in
surance were adopted many families
could remain together and not be
broken up and scattered among char
table organizations as happens now
almost every day.
Il know some of these ideas are
new said the Judge, but l believe
we should give them a trial and II
they prove ineffective they can easily
be changed"
He told how these measures were
established in Germany and other Eu-
ropean countries and said that many
of the large corporations in this coun-
try had adopted pension systems for
their employees.
In the discussion of the subject,
Mrs. Edward Mandel of New York,
said she was opposed to taxing those
who are industrious and frugal for the
support of thriftless, improvident and
indolent classes.
Joseph w. Brooks of Baltimore said
the family on the verge of independ-
ence needs more attention than the
family with starvation staring it in
the face. He suggested as a remedy
for unfortunate families their removal
from their old environments and as
sociations, thereby many times remov-
ing temptations.

foreign powers for commercial treaties
which have been in force ever since

peror recognizing his abilities as a
statesman, appointed him ambassador
to Turkey. He remained az Constan-
tinople over IA years but was aften
re-ealled to Berlin to confer with the
Emperor. 1T was often hinted that the

peror's entire foreign policy He was
strongly in favor of the extension of
Germany's dominions in all parts OF
the world. His views were so well
liked at the German court that he was
