BRITAIN MODIFTES
PRESS CENSORSHIP

london, Dec. 90. Beginning to-
day Sir Edward Grey, minister of
foreign affairs has arranged that the
censorship by the Press Bureau on
behalf of the foreign office, shall be
suspended. This will not mean a
change in the provisions of the de-
fense Of the realm act or of regula-
official announcement They will be
binding as heretofore, but the re-
sponsibility of seeing that they are
complied with as regards the publi-
cation in any newspaper or by any
news agency of matter relating to
foreign affairs will rest upon the di-
rectors of that newspaper or news
agency.
AS regards matter telegraphed
abroad from England, the response
bility will rest with the senders of
the telegram The censorship of
press telegrams from one foreign
country to another over British ca
5les will remain unaltered, since the
senders of such kilograms are not
within British jurisdiction and can
not be proceeded against under the
defense of the realm act
It is announced that nothing IN
this new rule affects the existing ar
rangements for the censorship OF
naval or military matter, to which
wholly different considerations ap-
plv nor the censorship of other mat
ters, save so far as they relate 10
foreign affairs

SHALL EVOLUTION BE
TAUGHT IN OUR COLLEGES

Madison, Wis, Dec. 20. The
educational world is taking deep in
teresl in the fight being made by the
Universal pastors at the University
of Wisconsin, against the courses OF
lectures in which the theory of evo-
lutiCn is pitted against the Biblical
Garden of Eden" IN study of the
quarrel between Darwin and the
theoloeians
FOr some time past the "univer-
sity pastors" who are employed by
the various denominations to look
after the religious needs of the stu
dents have been protesting against
one particular course conducted by
Prof. Max Charles Otto
the matter has been brought tC
the attention of President Van Hise
by the ministers, on the ground that
the professors had no right to upset
the faith of students.
Beneath the placil surface of this
bear'iful university city, philoso-
piers and preachers are waging a
battle that will have widespread
Importance. for on the eventual rul-
ing as to how far the professors may
go in endorsing the evolution theory
as aeainst the theory that the world
was specially created and mankind
specially made in Lis present form,
may depend the future policy of por-
traying the subject in American in
stitutions.
The course which drew the fire OF
the ministers Is entitled THE Rela-
tion of Man to Nature" and is really
study of the quarrel between the
evolutionists and the theologians
Evolution is debated. The writ
ings of many of the most famous
scientists and philosophers are read
to the students, and the arguments
for and against evolution are set
forth
The meaning Of evolution to men
is examined Various conceptions of
life and its purposes are presented
Spencer, Agassiz, Darwin, Mill,
Haekel, Fiske. Huxley, James and
other great writers are read in the
course, and the entire literature on
the subject. from he Bible to the
Encyclopedia, is trayersed.
1t is admitted that at no time does
Prof. Otto make any attack upon re-
ligion He does not even express an

WHERE FLORIDA'S GREATEST
CHARITY COMES IN

Jacksonville, Dec. 2O--The depths
Of poverty and distress may be pic
tured by some as being a condition
where money and food are gone and
hope has vanished, but situation
! more sorrowful and distressful than
this picture exists in Duval county
A mother Of FIVE children, destitute
and alone in the world, lives in a
small one-roOm log cabin, money
gone food gone and starvation and
cold staring her in the face, and
until found by sympathizing friends
was suffering extreme mental pain
worrying over her plight and that
of her children
Information concerning the little
family was given to Deputy Sheriff
Jim Crawford, who communicated
with Marcus Faeg, superintendent
Of the Children's Home Society of
Florida, and together they visited
the shabby home yesterday after
Orange Park road beyond Ortega,
they cut off into the woods, and aft
er ten miles or more of rough road
and fording several streams they
reached the cabin, situated in the
| midsi d pines and in place that
might be safely turned Nowhere. ;"
Near Starvation
The poor woman and her five
children were found partly clothed
and living in this one-room affair.
where no stove, chair or table served
to add to their comfort. The only
piece of furniture was broken bed,
with few covers, and here this des-
titutc family, starving by degrees,
lived like rats and awoke every
morning to face another day of suf-
ferip2.
Thc womans story disclosed the
fact that her husband had died nine
weeks ago The little family, poor,
but managing to exist, lived in Bre-
ward county, where they owned
very small piece of land The hus-
bands death left her without means
of living, except for $4 monthly,
a pension of the county
Thinking she could do better on
the present piece of land, which she
had never seen, she foolishly traded
her home in a vain endeavor to bet
ter their condition. In Duval county
she found nothing. The approach
ing birth of her sixth child kept her
from earning a meager living from
the soil, and but for the small as
sistance Of few neighbors she
would have starved.
But from the depth of darkness
ray of sunshine came-and help is
now being given her by the Chill
dren's home Society.

at Louisville, KY, referring to tne
lack of American merchant marine,
declared it was shocking at this

visit the German chancellor and the

that so many men perished during
