This sum represented an increase Of
almost four million dollars over the

The commission says that the asser-

age Christian knows more about Africa
or China than he does about the re-
publice Of Latin-America-
sAnother cause of the prevailing in

DESPERATE FIGHT TO
CONTROL ADRIATIC
Austrians Fear They May Lose Cat
taro-Fight Has Been Going On
For Six Days From Sea
and From Land.

Rome-A desperate and most i'm
portant struggle for mastery of the
Adriatic is now raging near the Aus
trian naval base of Cattaro, between
the combined Austrian naval and land
forces and the Montenegrins.
The Austrians are making a deter
mined attempt to capture Mount
Lowcen, the Gibraltar of the Adriatic.
It's retention by the Montenegrins
threatens an Austrian hold on Cat
taro.
Since the beginning of the war Aus
tria has made the Cattaro harbor a
naval base for operations in the
Adriatic, Egean and Mediterranean.
Cattaro is absolutely impregnable
from the sea. From the land side It
may be attacked only from Mount
Lowcen, where the MOntenegrins a
year ago installed heavy artillery.
If the Montenegrins can hold Mount
Lowcen, they plan later, with Allied
assistance, to drive the Austrians from
Cattaro. Batil the Austrians are
driven from this base they will con-
tinue to dispute supremacy in the
Adriatic with the Allied squadrons.

the day, and picked up the papers
casually, and lit upon the newest SEN
sation of the free and entirely un-
curbed metropolitan press!
The free and entirely uncurbed met
ropolitan press had found Vedder
court and had made it the sudden
focus Of the public eye. Those few
who were privileged to know init
mately the workings of that adroit
master of the public welfare, Tim Cor
man, could have recognized clearly
his fine hand in the blaze of notoriety
which obscure Vedder court had sud-
denly received. After having en-
dured the contamination and conta-
gion Of the Market Square church ten
ements for so many years, the city
had, all at once, discovered that the
condition was unbearable! The free
and entirely uncurbed metropolitan
press had taken up, with great enthu-
siasm, the work of poking the finger
of scorn at Vedder court It had pub
lished photographs of the disreputable
old sots Of buildings, and, where they
did not seem to drip enough, the
artists had retouched them. 1t had
sent budding young Poes and Dick
enses down there to write up the
place. 1t had sent the sob sisters
there in shoals to interview the down
trodden, and, above all things, it had
put prominently before the public eye
the immense profit which Market
Square church wrung from this or
ganized misery!
Gail turned sick at heart as she
read. Uncle Jim permitted four
morning papers to come to the house,
and the dripping details, with many
variations, were in all Of them. She
glanced over toward the rectory and
the digniied old church standing be-
yond it, with mingled indignation and
humiliation. A sort of ignominy
seemed to have descended up it, like
a man whose features seem coarsened
from the instant he is doomed to wear
prison stripes; and the fact which she
particularly resented was that a por-
ton of the disgrace of Market Square
church seemed to have descended
upon her She could not make out
why this should be; but it was. Aunt
Grace Sargent, bustling about to see
that Gail was supplied with more
kinds of delicacies than she could pos
sibly sample, saw that unmistakable
look of distress on Calls face, and
went straight up to her sister Helen.
the creases of worry deep in her brow.
Mrs. Helen Davies was having her
coffee in bed, and she continued that
absorbing ceremony while she con-
sidered her sisters news.
Il did not think that Gail was so
deeply affected by the occurrences Of
last night" she mused; "but of course
