Mrs. Meredith stared at Mrs, Grandor

occupied the attention of Mrs. Grando

ing by the monks who occupy their

Jordan of SaXony, who was the
second master general of the order,

perpetuated ever since wherever the
fathers have the facilities for it's OBJ

MAN, NOT WOMAN,
FOSTERING VICE.
Profit Is Big in Infamous Traf-
fic. Says John D. Rock
efeller, Jr.


NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Man, not
woman, is responsible for the organ
lied commercial social evil in this
country. in the opinion of John ID.
Rockefeller. jr. 1t is a mans busi-
ness run for profit. and the profit is
large"
These views are expressed in a
statement made public by Mr.. Rookie
feller today. giving further details OF
the aims of the Bureau of Social Hy-
eiene, through which Mr.. Rockefeller
and other philanthropists hope to at
tack and alleviate conditions which he
considers the greatest single menace
to the perpetuation of the human
sace.D
Under the direction of the bureau,
George ]. Kneeland. who conducted
the investigation carried on by the
Chicago Vice Commission, has made
a comprehensive study of vice condi-
TONS in this city. and Abraham Flick
ner has spent nearly a year abroad
investigating the methods OF dealing
with this problem in the leading
cities of Europe. He will make fur-
Their studies in a number of the larger
cities of this country.
AS to whether the unfortunate
woman is a victim or a contributor
10 her own vicious career, Mr.. Hocks-
Teller says:
Il say unhesitatingly that in the
vast majority of cases she Is VIC
tim. Prostitution as now conducted
IN this country and in Europe is very
largely a mans business; the women
are merely tools in the hands of the
stronger sex.
ut is my belief that less than %
per cent Of the prostitutes in this
country would have fallen if they had
had an equally good chance to lead
pure life. Man is chiefly responsible
for their fall.
Thus far the work of the bureau
has been financed by its members and
q few interested friends, and this viii
continue to be the case until a larger
and more formal organization Is con-
sfdered advisa BILE. To Its future finan-
cial policy 1t is not now necessary TO
rive attention AS its needs grow
there are numbers of men and women
N this city who, 1 am confident stand
ready to join in meeting them

Poor John! She only had $40. So
