Private letters from the Vatican re- ceived in Washington said that Pope Benedict XIV. was about to appoint commission of four cardinals to re- new a movement by Pope Plus X, looking to reunion of Christianity and the cultivation of friendly rela- tions with the Anglican church.
 The. honor of presiding over the commission of cardinals, it was re- ported, would be bestowed upon Car dinal Marini, one of the new. cardi- nals created at the last consistory, who has devoted many years to scien- tific research and to the cause of a reunion of Christianity. The interest of the pope in the problem of chris tian unity is said to have been inten- sified by the recent progress of the world congress initiated by the Amer ican Episcopal church.. Cardinal Marini is seen in the picture.

EMERGENCY RELIEF
 HOSPITAL NEEDED
Physician May Be Secured to
 Sleep at Police Station

The tragic death of fifteen months
 old Stanley Kozlowski of 72 Booth
 street early today from strangulation following desperate efforts on the part
 of his parents and the police to secure
 surgical aid in time has added mater ial impetus to the agitation for an emergency hospital at police head quarters, or some similar centrally To-
 cated site. The tragedy is beingk free ly discussed among members of the police department today and the be- lief expressed that the city is large enough for such an institution or ar arrangements whereby a physician is easily available, especially from or
 g o'clock at night until about the
 same time ill the morning. During
 this time 1t Is often difficult to secure
 speedy response. Parents of the dead child reported that they visited from six to a dozen offices of physicians on
 their way to police headquarters and
 made frantic efforts to secure aid. They were unable to secure aid until too late. Policemen explain this by the custom of many physicians in having their office on a central street with residence in the outskirts of the city.
 Among those WnO .DGH0Vo that some arrangement is necessary so as to be able to secure physician quick ly at night and during the early morn ing hours, in case of accident or emer- gency, Is Chief of Police William J. Rawlings. As all available space at headquarters is now utilized, it has been suggested that some centrally To- cated site be secured, fitted up and giv- en over to the use of some young phy- sician. who is just starting practice, with the understanding that he is to be on call at all times during certain hours of the day and night. Later, if new accommodations for police head quarters are secured, adequate provi- sions will undoubtedly be made for a physicians sleeping quarters and an emergency room.
 Only policemen on night beats req lize the difficulty many experience in getting a physician to respond to an call between o'clock at night and 8 or 9 o'clock in the morn ing. Policemen are met frequently by hurriedly dressed people during early morning hours. asked as to where to get a physician quick and their aid asked This is especially true among the poor people of the ] clty ana COLlpaTdClNe SIIdH6eiS
 According to the belief of police | officials an emergency hospital or | adequate arrangements with some 1 physician would cost little and meet l all requirements until more satisfac. tory arrangements can be made.

(Continued From First Page).

2aper printing editorials, commenting says:
 '1t can hardly be said that in the person of the representative of the United States who. left yesterday a popular figure disappears from Der lin. The assertion that he was held prisoner in Germany is stretching the case a bit, yet he surely was no friend of Germany and it may be calmly set down that the relations of the United States and Germany would have reached a far less deplora ble stage if the great trans-Atlantic re- public had been represented in Berlin in the person of a man who possessed a greater appreciation of the dignity and peculiarities of our position and who, further, had been inclined to keep his government correctly in formed with respect to the campaign of lies and villianies to which we are daily exposed.
 eff, on the whole, MT. Gerard was no OutSpOken friend or Germany, he was equally disinclined to share the blind admiration for Engand and everything English with which his countrymen seem obsessed. From tho beginning of the war he expressed his inability to see how the Entente could ever be victorious over the Central Powers and this opinion he never surrendered"
