Giuscppe Melchiorre Sarto, knowr

1908. since which time his administra.

has had TO deal in recent times.
They have included. on the one hand,
his determined attitude In maintaining
the purity of Catholic faith, beginning
with his syllabus condemning criticism
of the holy scriptures and of the
origin of Christianity. and later bring.
Ing forth the famous Encyclical pas

the system of modernism; and, ON the
other hand, the painful struggles

state, and later with Spain on similar
issues, and more recently with portu-

americans abroad In Need
LosDer Al Social Barriers

| London Thousands OF Americans
gather daily At the Savory hotel, where
| the great ballroom and score OF tea
rooms and private dining rooms have
been given over to the Americans and
American resident committees, which
are providing for the wants of visitors
from the United States stranded in
Europe.
Every morning when the doors of
the relief headquarters are thrown
open at 10 o'clock an army of Ameri-
can tourists rushes to the various in
formation booths In search of news
concerning the probable sailing of
ships to the United States. Ten bank
ers and their clerks are kept busy at
work providing money for travellers
with letters OF credit, while commit
tees Of representative men and women
investigate credentials OF persons who
have exhausted their fund, but hold
tickets on the steamship lines which
have discontinued sailings.
A large postoffice force handles the
mail for the stranded Americans. All
letters and cablegrams sent in care of
the American embassy are now being
turned over to the committees with
their trained assistants.
Men and women of all ages, mil
iionaires, humble workmen, school
teachers and society leaders dressed
IN elaborate Partisan gowns, move
shoulder to shoulder in the crowd seek
Ing assistance from the relief workers.
The war has levelled all social barriers
and put all travellers on one level.
Americans who straggle into London
from Copenhagen, Rotterdam and
Cherbourg are equally helpless Most
81 them are provided with travellers
