SECESSION AR0USES
CHURCH AUTHORITIES
Ordinary Official Staff Is Unable to
Cope With Berlin
Movement.
respondence Of The Star.

.
BERLIN, January IL. 1914.
The agitation for secession from the
National Protestant Church has assumed
great dimensions in Berlin. During De-
cember nearly 1000 persons formally
seeded.
At the office where this business is be-
ing conducted the staff of officials has
been increased by twelve higher and
thirty-eight subordinate clerks, as the
ordinary staff is wholly unable to cope
with the crowds which demand to be
sundered from the church. 1t is be-
lieved that in the early months of this
year the movement will continue.
The church authorities are at their
wits end to know how to deal with the
movement. They are arranging for huge
meetings of protest to be held shortly
The 'kirchenaustraittsbe as
the movement away from the state church
is called, first attracted notice about seven
years ago. In nearly all German states
leaving the church is a somewhat formi-
dable matter. as it can only be accom-
plished by legal procedure, including a
court application and the acceptance OF a
new religion or statement OF belief
in agnosticism. ANY one in an official
position is almost certain to lose his oc-
cupation for taking such course.

Taxation Burden One Cause.

One cause of the movement is the bur-
den of church taXation-ranging from 20
to 60 per cent of the amount of the state
income tax, and to escape that persons
must be registered as "dissident" or
agnostc
The chief reason is a general dissatis-
faction with the church itself consequent
on serious quarrels in it mainly on points
of doctrine. 1t is held by many that the
church's theory of life is absolutely an
tiquated. and that the churches pursue
reactionary politics. Anti-socialists
maintain of course, that the whole move
ment Is materalistic and there is no
doubt some truth in that view.

forward the movement in Berlin were

HIGH SCHOOLS TO
Be OVERCR0WDED
No Room for 700 Pupils From
Eighth Grade Who Grad

ned for Central, Business and
Technical Scholars.

Washington's high schools are going to
| be overcrowded when the half year pro-
motions are made at the end of this
month. in the opinion of officials Of the
public schools expressed today. 1t Is
expected that more than 100 boys and
girls will be promoted from the eighth
grade to the high schools, while compar
atively few pupils are to be graduated
from the high schools. At the present
time the five higher institutions are about
filed to their capacity.
1t Is possible that a portable building
or two may have to be hired for the
overflow. The greatest difficulties prob
ably will be experienced at Eastern High
School where, at the present time. the
assembly hall and the ends of corridors
have to be utilized as classrooms. Only
seven pupils are to leave at the end of
the semester. while large number have
stgnified their intention of entering.
More Buildings Needed.
The fact Of this crowding is being put
forward by the administrators Of the local
educational system as reason for the
building OF more secondary institutions
here. In this regard 1t is believed that
If the present plans for the Central
High School go through and building
is erected large enough to accommodate
200 pupils. 1t will have very little
If any. space to spare, by the time it is
completed.
The overcrowdng in Washington is said
to be in line with the fact that through
out the entire country greater and great
er percentages of the children are contin-
uing their education through the second
AIRY stage
The fact that this is the last week in
the present semester is making a great
deal o. work for the school Chiefs of

ing to reorganization have to receive at

WASHINGTON Is Relieved

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Japan's de-
termination to localize her operations
against Germany to Kiao Chow and
the Chinese seas, without extending
them to the wide range of Germany's
extensive possessions throughout the
Pacific, gives distinct relief to offfc-
ials here as narrowing the range of

lines. iiiHi
More particularly it is felt to over
come some apprehensions in military
quarters that contest. one begun at
Kiao Chow, might develop into one
for predominance in the Pacific ocean
should Japan in the prosecution of a
war seek to take over Germany's long
chain Of islands extending well across

pose to extend eastward into the Pa
