One reason for this industrial eff

grinding curriculum of which either

All these things have come to pass

and help its growth. which IL has done.
The growth OF militarism has been
resented especially by the working
classes, who not only objected to it be-
cause OF the terrible drain it made in
taxes and IN time spent in service hut
also because OF the class feeling II en-
gendered. The Kaiser has ever stood
for the supremacy Of the military, and
he has put the honor Of the uniform

years however, under popular pressure.
Finally union was made between
Bulgaria and Eastern Rumclia, which
latter had been given to Turkey but
which rebelled at tho transfer. OBJ

whose army invaded Bulgaria but was

impossibility in the extraordinary

congested wires cause the most

the despair Of the masters Of ceremonies
and functionaries with whom he was sur

would remark that Plus 4 had just ab-
rogated these customs.
No member Of his family derived any
benefit, social or financial, from his pro-
motion. He did bring his sisters to
Rome, but he insisted that they should
forego the usual honors given to the
relatives of the Pope.

and only quite recently received a pro-
motion from the italian government
which brings him for his lifelong service
the munifcent salary Of $50 or so
month.
II Plus x will receive a large part in
history. 1t will be because of the attitude
he assumed toward civil rulers, his con-
demnation Of modernism and the subse-
quent adjustment Of Catholic thought to
the great social and intellectual cur
rents Of the time. and because Of his ef-
forts for stricter discipline in the church.
He was a non-curial Pope. He knew
little about the diplomatic traditions of
the Office to which he was raised. and
was not hampered in his administration
by any regard for legal minutiae which
might loom SO large in the vision Of one
trained in chanceries or embassies. One
Of his most notable acts was the aboli-
ton of the veto, or right of certain
states to protest against candidates for
the triple crown. This right which had

serve no useful purpose In the future, it

1901, by the famous encyclicai Pas
cendi," which was at this Same time an
exposition and condemnation Of modern
ism.
This encyclical, which was the first sys-
tematic account Of the new movement.
denounced modernism as synthesis OF
all heresies, conclusion which found
confirmation in the words Of Loisy that
"all Catholic theology In its fundamental
principles, the general philosophy Of re-
ligion, divine law, and the laws that
govern our knowledge OF God, come up
for judgment before this new court OF
assize." The Pope was not content with
pointing out and condemning what he
considered as the errors Of modernism;
fusion, among which was the appoint
ment OF committee Of vigilance in
each diocese to take note of any relax
alton of faith or practices. The storm
provoked by the ehcyclical soon subsided.
Loisy. Tyrrell, Fogazzaro, the Abbot Muir
ri and numerous others raised their voices
in protest, but the subject attracted little
attention among people generally. The
conflict centered about matters too spec
from the facts of everyday life to have
more than a passing interest. For de-
vout Catholics the voice Of the supreme
pastor was sufficient.
The character and purpose of Piux x
were nowhere better exhibited than in
the attitude he assumed toward the poor
In Rome and in his manner Of life in the
Vatican. He assumed the burden Of
preaching to the people shortly after his
transfer to Rome, and derived pleasure
and Inspiration from speaking to the
masses Of humble people who gathered
around him second only to that expert
enced by those who heard him.

Trained in the practical school Of paro-

x was above all sedulous and Jealous
that the faith of the people committed
to his charge should not be impaired. 1t
is not surprising. therefore. that after
his accession to the pontificate one OF his
first acts was to call attention to a move
ment among certain classes OF Catho-
lies which he regarded as dangerous.
This movement subsequently designated
officially as modernism was far-reach-
Ing in its scope and purpose and enjoyed
the prestige and support derived from
such men as Loisy in France and Father
Tyrrell, q well known Jesuit author in
England.

its true character in an encyclical on the
centenary Of st. Gregory the Great. the
year after his accession. Notwithstand-
ing his attitude. the modernist movement
continued to spread, and in 1907 he pub

as pitchers go, regained his youth by
exercise and careful living.
He cured the crippled arm by mas
sage and assiduous attention. Being,
at heart, a fellow of great courage and
stamina, he set aside the flowing bowl,
and kept it shelved. Now he is pitch
ing ball of q quality never eXcelled in
his youth, and deserves all the praise
that can be given him. George Nc
Quillan has really carried the Pitts

the games he pitched in full, and those
where he saved some other hurler he
has held the Pirates up even as u

When McQuilan falls, that club will
fall with him.

lesson and encouragement To the

EXTRA WEIGHT
TROUBLES DREW
Unless Splinter Can Reduce Sur.
plus His Speed Will Suffer

VIII those stocky legs of Howard
Drew retain their matchless speed
through 1916? Here's a question that
means much to Uncle Sans showing
in the Olympic games that will be held
in Berlin two years hence. If the AM
erican team can go into the Gruene-
valid stadium with Drew in his present
form it will mean that the 10O-meter
races will mark a triumph for the
Stars and Stripes to a certainty. with
an excellent chance for a repetition IN
the 200-meter dash. There is not a
Splinter the world over today who can
make the colored boy from Springfield,
Mass, go at anything like his best
pace i'm the shorter race. AppleSarth
of England, Patching of South Africa,
Rau of Germany, and any other foreign
dasher you care to mention Drew can
toy with. 1t is possible that Apple
garth might make Drew run for all he
was worth in the 200-meters, as the
stocky Brton is surely a real one over
the furlong route.
Drew has two things to battle with
in his effort to retain his marvellous
sprinting knack for two years more.
These are increasing weight and brit
tie" legs. Drew has always been in
clined to gain weight, and he's now
quite a bit heavier than he was at
Stockholm. To date the colored flier
has successfully combatted weight in
crease by eating two, and at times only
one meal a day and by engaging in
plenty of all-around exercise. In the
matter of keeping down his weight,
living i'm southern California, where he
can get out in the sun and work hard
the year round, is going to help Drew.
In the parlance of the cinder path
brittle" legs are the kind that break
down on diet of steady training.
Drew has had much of this trouble in
the past, though he has been practical
ly free from it since his unfortunate
breakdown at Stockholm.
