says;
Il am convinced he does not desire the

he would decline to enlist, If needed. in

NEW YORK, Jan. S1.--A committee
of American philanthropists is preparing
to establish in Germany great institute
of scientific research, according to ca
bled advices today. The head of the in
stitute is to be Professor Ehrlich, OF
Frankfort, who discovered the remedy
"606," and is now experimenting with a
drug which he hopes will prove to be
a specific for cancer. American men of
money became interested in his work
through DR.. Lewis Marks, young New
Orleans biologist who has been Profess
sor EhrIich's chief assistant for the past
five years. DR.. Marks has already re-
ceived definite pledges of more than
s125,OO0 for the project and expects that
the fund will eventually reach several
times that amount.
DIR. Marks was in New York a few
weeks ago and at that time prophesied
that announcement would soon be made
of the discovery of specific drugs for
the destruction of the parasites of pneu-
monia and typhoid. He is a graduate of
Tulane university and is still under 80
years of age.

DR.. HANSC0M ACCEPTS
CALL TO ATLANTA CHURCH
He Is 40 Years Old, a Univer-
Sity Graduate and Tire
less Worker

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. SO.-Dr.
George Loring Hanscom, pastor OF the
Union Congregational church, today def
nitely decided to accept the call to the
pastorate of the Central Congregational
church in Atlanta. He will tender his
resignation to his local congregation at
the morning service Sunday, to take
effect March 1, or as soon thereafter
as his place can be filled in a manner
satisfactory to the church.
The announcement that DR.. Hanscom is
to leave Jacksonville will be received with
deep regret by his congregation and many
others who are friends of himself and
wife. He has filled the passionate of the
Union Congregational church for the
past six years, coming here from the
First Congregational church at Newark,
N. J. Within that period he has built
up the congregation to one Of the
strongest and most effective church or
ganizations in the state. He found the
church very much run down when he
came to take charge.
DR.. Hanscom is 49 years of age, of I'M
usually pleasant address, an an indefit-
igable worker, whose tact and training
particularly fits him for his line of en-
deavor. His alma mater is the Uni
versity of Maine, and he entered the
ministry at the age of 26 years. Both DR..
and Mrs Hanseom have taken prominent
places in the church and social life of
the city, ami they will be greatly missed
when they remove to Atlanta.
