the most iron discipline among the
clergy, and this led to an unrelenting
campaign against that section of &c
clesiastics who professed unorthodoX
opinions and were called modernists.
The encyclical promulgated on Sep
TENDER s, 1907, condemned the mod
ernists and their doctrines.
Following this several leaders of the
modernist movement were excommun-
icated in Italy, England and Germany.
The pope displayed even greater en-
ergy on November IS, 1907, when he
reaffirmed the necessity of combating
by every possible means the spirit of
rebellion, and ordered the bishops to
watch and if necessary to dismiss the
professor infected with the condemned
doctrines and to prevent from taking
orders those students who were sus-
pected of sympathizing with the
movement.
New rebellions broke out, and Plus
Y went further in the struggle, with a
new encyclical, in May, 1909, and
more so by imposing the anti-modern-
list oath on all ecclesiastics.
The pontiff reused a storm of op-
position, to himself entirely unexpect-
ed, by his encyclical against the Prot
estants in general and those of the
German Reformation in particular, on
the occasion of the centennial of st.
Charles Borromeo.
Another very important reform due
to Plus Y is that of the Roman curia,
which was still ruled by the bull of
SiXtus V of January, 1883. With this
he rnf pH hn
teal courts and the Roman congrega-
lions, withdrawing America, Canada,
Great Gritain, Holland
and Luxembourg, from the jurisdiction

therefore from among the missionary
countries and putting them, together
with the rest of the Catholic world,
under the consistorial congregation.
Friend of America.
To Americans Plus X was especial
ly interesting. His great friendship
for this country, his frequent audi
ences to Americans, both Catholic
and non-Catholic and his interest in
American affairs kept him in closer
touch with this side of the Atlantic
than perhaps any pontiff that has pre-
coded him. He vas an ardent admirer
of Theodore Roosevelt, and had the ex-
presidents writing translated for read
ing, yet, as will be recalled, events
accruing at the time of Mr.. Roose-
velt's visit to Rome led to the cancel

CHINAMAN MAY
WEAR A QUEUE
But Cabinet Ministers Edict
Requests Them Not to Re-
turn to Old Custom.

Peking-The minister of the interior
of China, Mr.. Chiu Chi-chin has issued
a request" to the people of North
China to cut off their queues Al
though the government desires to rel
egate the badge of servitude" under
the Manchu dynasty, together with
other outworn customs to the dead
past, il is showing commendable pa
tience in the endeavor to respect the
personal liberty and the constitutional
rights of the citizen.
1t was first proposed that the cut
ting of queues should be made oblig-
atory throughout the republic. A
plan to tax persons wearing queues
was also devised to discourage the
, custom, but after due consideration of
the rights of people in free coun-
try and of traditions rooted by nearly
four centuries of habit and thought,
the government modified the order and
the mandate has been issued as re-
quest
Few outside of China appreciate the
part the queue may play in national
politics. The queue was denounced
by the revolutionists from the outset
OF their operations as a token of Man.
Chu bondage, In many parts of South
and Central China the queue has en-
tirely disappeared, and any Chinese
who appeared in public wearing it
takes the risk of being compelled to
submit to its removal. The official
class, from the president down to the
lowest grades have all dispensed with
the queue, but many of the people in
North China still wear it..
One of the first acts of the Manchu
dynasty was to compel the Chinese to
shave their heads in recognition of
Tartar authority. Thus the queue, in
A d. 1914, had its inception as badge
of sery itude.
President Yuan Shih-Kai and his as
sociates have wisely refraircI from Of
Tending those who are STEPPED in the
old traditions, and the justification for
issuing a request rather than an ''or.
der" that queues be removed is firmly
fortified behind the very principles of
constitutional and personal liberty for
which the reformers fought and over
turned the old imperial government.
The impatient reformers, therefore,
cannot with any show of reason OBJ
ject tC the governments policy as re-
CARDS the traditionists of North China.
At the same time the sagacity and the
foresight shown in the matter will
probably remove any danger of the
question ever assuming grave impor.
lance, and the wearing of queues or
not wearing them will settle itself as
the new republic grows older and
generations Supplant the pres.

KAISER TO DEFY
JAPAN'S APPEAL
Germany Is Expected to Refuse
Request to Evacuate Her
Port of Kiao-Chau.

Washington, Aug. 20-There is lit
| tie doubt in official and diplomatic
Washington that Germany will reject
the japanese ultimatum to evacuate
KiaC-chau.
1t has been suggested in various cir
Giles that to checkmate the Japanese
Emperor William will cancel the lease
ne has on this territory, return it to
China and intern his ships and men in
accordance with international law.
The emperor is not expected TO take
any such course. Before the war began
he realized his forces would be attack
ed at every point. He prepared for it
with the most elaborate Notifications
at Kiao-chau. The garrison there, con-
sisting of 5000 men, ought to hold
Kiao-chau for a year, the same length
of time, practically, that the Russians
held Port Arthur. If peace comes
within that time Germany still will be
in possession of Kiao-chau, and it will
be outside of the discussion of terms.
So the emperor, instead of transfer
ring Kiao-chau back to China, it is be-
lieved, will defy the Japanese, and at
the same time issue statement de-
nouncing the "unhoIy alliance" of the
white and yellow races. The Japanese
are preparing in expectation of such
action and will strike at noon on Sun
day.
Only three and a half days remain
for the German answer to the Japanese
ultimat um. 1t has not yet been re-
ceived. 1t is known, however, that
Berlin has received the document, and
that the kaiser and his advisers are
considering carefully the course they
will pursue.
Perhaps the kaiser may not take
into his calculations the fact that the
japanese will insist that he and his
forces must retire from KiaO-chau,.
whatever the outcome of the war. I'm
der the terms of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty of alliance neither party to that
instrument can make peace without
the consent of the other. Japan feels
that Germany at Kiao-chau constitutes
a distinct menace.
The opportunity for attack is too
good for her to put aside, so one of
the conditions of peace unquestion-
ably will be the withdrawal of Germany
from KiaO-chau.
The transfer of Kiao-chau to China
at this time would not keep Japan out
of the war. Under the announcement
made. part of Japan's duty will be to
aid in sweeping German and Austrian
ships from the Pacific. 1t is expected,
that Japanese and German
men of war will come into conflict. In
this case there will be war between
Germany and Japan.
In the meantime it is a matter of
satisfaction to the president and the
of the administration that
Japan is showing in every way she
can that it is her intention to respect
the integrity of China and the pre-
servation of the open door in that
empire. This is a distinct gain for
peace. and as such is greatly appre- |
ciated by the government here.

Sketch of His Life.
Giuseppe Melcliorre Sarto. known
to the world as Pope Plus y, was
elected to the Pontificate Aug. 4, 1903,
and during his occupancy of his exalt-
ed Office as head OF the Roman Catho-
lie church. he was confronted with
some OF the most momentous prob
lens, religious and governmental, with
which the Holy See has had 10 deal
in modern times.
Pope Plus was born on June ., 1885,
at Riese, in the Venetian provinces,
the first child of Gian-Battista Sarto,
4 postman. and his wife Margherita.
Giuseppe's early career was infiu-
enced by the village priest, who took
a liking for the boy, taught him to
read and write and drummed into the
youthful head the rudiments of Latin.
AT the age of II years he entered the
seminary at Castelfranco. not far from
his birthplace. and for four years ev-
cry day he tramped to school, usually
barefoOted, until he reached the out
skirts of the village, where he would
slip on his shoes to keep up appear
ance.
From Castelfranco he passed in 1850
to the seminary at Padua, and in 1858,
at the age of 20, was ordained priest
and took up his studies at Tombolo.
In 1867 he had his first parish of impor-
tance. that of Salzano. where he re-
NAMED for IL years. In addition to
his ecclesiastical duties Father Sarto
contributed largely 10 the support of
his mother and sisters, who found life
a hard struggle, especially in the win
ter.

side and proclaims to the outer world
that no election has taken place.
First to cast his ballot is the dean of
the college, who writes the name Of
his candidate on a slip of paper eight
inches in length and four in width.
This he folds, and. sealing it ct both
ends. folds IL once more in the middle,
and then drops il in one of the two
chalices that is nearest his desk. All
follow in the order of their rank as
members OF the college.
Ballots Burned at Close.
Formerly the burning of the ballots
closed the session of the day. and the
conclave adjourned until evening. At
the evening session an opportunity is
given TO those cardinals representing
foreign powers to state whether ser
ious objections may exist 10 any OF
the candidates, and which. in the event
OF that candidates election as pope,
might operate TO the disadvantage OF
the vatican abroad. These objections
are duly considered. Twice in the
present century have the foreign car
dinals successfully opposed the cleo
ton of leading candidates.
Compromise candidates have sew
eraI times been taken by general
agreement whenever the race between
two strong cardinals became so close
as to deadlock the college.
Proceeding with the election by bal
lot, voting is continued on the lines
indicated until a choice is reached,
and this is made known TO the people
by the absence of the smoke, for al
though the ballots. as in the unsuccess
ful instances, are also burned, the
smoke is not permitted TO escape.
When the result is reached IL is an
