FEARS ECONOMIC ISOLATION
Berlin Paper Urges Germany to Act
Before 1t Is Too Late.

Washington, Sept. Am article in
the Berlin Tageblatt by General De
MontgeIas, quoted in an official dis
patch, urges Germany to avoid eco
nomic isolation after the war by join
ing the proposed Confederation Of
Nations. General De Montgelas says:
"Our fears of an economical war
are not imaginary, but have real
basis and to preserve the vital inter-
ests of the German people the country
ought bravely to enter the Confedera-
tion of Nations and make the neces-
sary. sacrifices. Failing this econom-
icalsisolation might become reality"

Although known to and visited by
comparatively few people, the old
mission church of San Xavier del
Bac, nine miles from Tuseon, ARR
zona and the romantic picturesque
ruin Of San Jose dc Tumacaceri, a
few miles farther up the Santa Cruz
Valley, are among our most inter
esting monuments to the church's
pioneers of by-gone age. This IS
particularly true of San Xavier del
Bac,. which many claim to be even
more beautiful than the missions of
California. San Xavier del BAG has
q further charm in the fact that it
stands today doing the same work
among the same people whom it was
built to serve 226 years ago.
Founded in 1892, the mission was
conducted continuously by resident
Jesuits until 1851, then for few
years it was administered as vista
from Tubae, and in 1867, following
the Spanish expulsion of the Jesuits,
was turned over to the Franciscans.
This order continued the work of the
mission until 1927, when Mexico ex-
PEELED all the religious orders, but it
was ministered to internationally
from Magdalena, although practical
ly abandoned. Following the Gads-
den purchase in 1854, the mission
came into the diocese of Santa Fe,
