"CASEYS" SPEND
 MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION WORK

The official report of Knights of Columbus educational work for for mer service men and women has been prepared by William J. Mckinley of New York, supreme secretary of the K. of C., for presentation to the K. of c. educational convention to be held in Chicago, July 34. The report shows that the K. of c. have, so far, expend- ed approximately 5000. .0OO
 The Knights, MT. HrcGin1ey's report states, have 7s schools located in the largest cities throughout the country; 165,ooo pupils have passed through these schools, the majority of them taking direct livelihood courses Of the number 4,O0o have been civilians and approximately 1,50o women. Dip Eonas were issued to some 15,0O0 When the schools closed for summer 4. .Oo0 were attending classes
 The executive and faculty forces of the schools total approximately 460 experienced educators, most of them employed in universities or public schools by daytime. It is estimate ted that between s1O,0o0 and $15,oO0 are needed to establish a. K-C school, this sum rising to $25 GOO where elaborate autom echanic or radio plants are re- quired.

POOR RELIEF.

Reports from all over the country indicate that the expense of cities and towns for relief of the poor is far less than usual. One exchange notes that during the past month only one person asked for outdoor relief. During the winter months of 1918-19, when times were consid- cred very good, the number of calls ran from 20 to 40 a month.
 While many people are incon- venienced by the scarcity of labor and the high costs of everything, it is a wonderful gain to have so few peo- pie applying for help.
 It is not that people begrudge such assistance when it is asked for. The community has no higher duty than helping worthy folks who can't get along in life. But the amount of poverty that has existed since time immemorial is a disgrace too civiliza. tion. The greater part of it is due to preventable causes which ought to be removed. If hard times come the state should see to it that good road work and other employment is offered to the poor, so that no will ing worker shall have to lie idle.

GOVERNMENT OF CHINA FAILING
 FINANCIALLY

Picking, June 24.---The Chinese gov ernment is running behind financially $10, ,OOO,00 to s12,O0o,OO0 monthly, ac- cording to a statement made by an attache of the cabinet in conversation with newspaper correspondents. The administrative debt of the nation to- tals $270, ,00O, 900, of which $1S0, COG, 900 represents loans by Chinese ba nks.
 The monthly budget aggregates $1S,- 900, 900, with only s6.OO0,0OO to s8, 900 0OO available from ordinary sources of revenue. Of this monthly expenditure more than 70 per cent goes for mil itary upkeep. To meet the monthly deficit drastic retrenchment is said to be contemplated.
 Cognizance was taken of this state of affairs by Thomas Lamont, New York financier, on his visit here when he informed the Chinese authorities that loans to China could be under taken, among other considerations, only after China demonstrated her ability to 'fbalance" her budget for administrative and military expendi- lures.

EQUAL RIGHTS
 FOR ALL URGED ~ FOR PALESTINE

London, June M.---Public own ership of land, a cooperative comm onwealth, and equal rights for a1l were advo- cated here today as the three leading principles in the social program American Zionists desire incorporated in the project for a Jewish Homeland l in Palestine, by Jacob de Haas, exc cutive secretary of the Zionist Organ ization of America He said:
 '"The Zionists are not going to be satisfied with Palestine or land of Israel, which will be a mere dupii- cate of the numerous small states of Europe or South America. They be- lieve that the .2,000 years of sufferin g and rartyrdom of the wandering Jew has given to our race wealth of ex- perience which, added to the ancient heritage of the Jew, can be made fruitful in the creation of a model settlement iii the land of our for fathers.
 'The Zionists of America have re- solved that the benefits which come through increasing land values will not go into the pockets of land spec ulators, but will always remain community values,' which will go in- to the public treasury.
 '-The Zionists of America are re- solved to encourage cooperative en- terprise to the largest extent possible so that a cooperative commonwealth may be gradually evolved, without however, crushing individual initia- , tive.
 Whereas, we confine our program of equal rights to the narrow fields of politics, the Zionists of America would apply it to all of Palestinian 1ife-to politics and economics, to law and industry, to man and woman, to every sect and every creed."

It is expected that sponsors of the proposal will try hard to throw the influence of the administration behind it.
 Many of the party leaders, includ- ing Homer S. Cummings, the national chairman, reiterated confidence that no other platform plank would lead to a fight on the convention floor The League of Nations declarations as framed by administration supporters was declared by these leaders to be certain of acceptance after only a nominal squabble in the platform committee.
 Senator Glass first conference after his arrival here was with Chairman Cummings. They had din ner together in the chairman's hotel room and afterward spent most of the evening in consultation.
 Word of MT. -Bryan's announcement at Helena, Mont, that he would sup port Senator Walsh of that. state for | ton, came as a surprise to most of the party chiefs here and started specula- tion as to how-far the NebraSkan might go in an effort to overturn the plans of the administration forces Secretary of State Colby, Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Chairman Cummings have been mentioned by administration supporters for the per manent chairmanship but it was said today there had been no decision. The suggestion that Mr. Cummings who will be temporary chairman, be forward today as a means of shorten ing the convention proceedings by dis pensing with the formalities of a sec | ond convention orsanization MT Cummings said, however, that he hoped some one else would be giver
 the permanent chairmanship.
 One hitch in the arrangements re l maining to be eliminated had to d. l with the seating of state delegation

DELEGATES SEE
 A SAND STORM

Grand Canyon, Ariz., June 24.---The Connecticut delegation en routc to the National Democratic convention in San Francisco left here yesterday for Riverside. Cal. The Connecticut del- egates and their guests spent an en- joyable day of Tuesday viewing one or the worlds seven wonders.
 As the weather was not altogether favorable for a trip down the trails to the pit of the canyon the tourists took a carriage ride around the rim of the canyon. Headquarters were established at the Fl Tovar. When the Connecticut delegates arrived at the canyon they found the delegates from Kings County, N. r., and from Illinois and there was much farter- nizing of delegates from all three states. At Albuquerque, N. M. some members of the party consulted the Indians about a political outlook. The Rcd Men forecasted the election of a Democratic ticket in the next national
 election. This was of course gratify-
 ing to every member of the delega-
 ton.
 There has been more or less talk of candidates en route to the coast but
 the sentiment among the delegates seems to be about as it stood before the delegates left New Haven. Mo Adoo and Cox still loom up as the fla vorites with some delegates for Pal mer, Cummings and Vice President Marshall. Congressman Lonergan of the first district has been discussing with James R. Nugent, a prominent Democratci leader, various subjects proposed for the platform and among other things modification of the Vol stead act, making it more liberal, was favored. The Connecticut delegates or
 some of them at least, have had their first experinc with a sand storm out
 on the great American desert. Cross ing Arizona the Connecticut delega- ton train ran into a sand blizzard that lasted several hours.

A startling view on possible result of world conditions

A startling view on possible result of world conditions
 Century Magazine)
 New York, June 24-(Specia1 Cor respondence)-"Sat Satanism, the spirit of unmixed hatred toward the exist ing world order, the spirit winch re- joices in any widespread disaster which is also a disaster to the worlds rulers** perhaps more rife today than it has been for over a thousand years ***is the result of special unhappi- ness either Of defeat and persecution. or else of extraordinary bad govern ment" declared Professor Gilbert Murray in his recent Adamson lecture at Manchester. Dr. Murray went on to startle intellectual Britain with some uncompromising truths about the strongly renascent British imper- ialism which is engaging the uneasy attention of the chan cellerieS of the world
 ''The relation of empires to sub ject communities is,'' he says, ''in fact the great seed for those states of mind which I have grouped under the name of Satanism."
 For British the war has left us, or revealed us, the supreme type and example of the determination of the white man to rule men of ali
 
 is their superior. Here and there peo- i pies who have experience know that l the British are better masters than most; but masters they are, and mas 1 ters are apt to be hated.
 "We have Seen***in AmritSar sit 1 uation arising between governors and governed so acutely hostile that a l British oficer*** thought It right to shoot down without warning some I hundr eds of unarmed men. In Mes | opotamia, since the war, it is said l that certain villages which did not | pay their taxes and were thought to 1 be setting a. bad example were ac- | tually bombed from the air at night, when all the population was crowded 1 together in the enclosures. Tn Ceylon | in 1915 numbers of innocent people . were either shot or flogged and many l more imprisoned owing to a panic in 1 the government. In Rhodesia a few I weeks. ago a boy of sixteen who shot l a native for fun was let off with l eight strokes of the birch***I mention these things to show how natural it l is for imperial races to be hated.

JAPANESE BANKS
 FREE WITH CASH

Tokio, June 24-The Bank of Ja- pan advanced money to relieve the financial situation with such gener- osity that early this month its out standing loans amounted to S55,- 00O,OO0 yen. Some urge that the bank should raise it's interest rate, for the effect of it's present policy might cause recrudescence Of speculative fever. The generosity of the bank has already caused a de- cline in the rates of interest on short loans and the general public is less cautious than before.

RUMANlA SEEKS
 TO PLACE LOAN
 IN THIS COUNTRY

Bucharest, June A - Runania is
 seeking to place a loan in the United
 States and wants to give as security
 her six per cent national bonds. with
 out lien on her forests or her oil
 properties.
 According to Le Progress, the coun-
 try's most pressing problem is the re-
 organization of finances, which are in
 a confused condition, partly due to
 the dumping in Rumania of several
 billions of Austria-Hungarian crowns.
 Russian and Ukrainian rubles and
 other worthless moneys. Within the
 past ten months the value of the lei
 has decreased from ten to the dollar
 to 55.SO to the dollar, accarding to the fluctuations of the market
 This depreciation is also due, it is
 stated to an illigetirnate influx of pa-
 per money from Germany. During
 the German occupation, the Germans
 established the General Bank of Ru- mania and issued large quantities Of paper money bearing the name of this bank. It is suspected that since the armistice, the Germans have snug gled into Rumania more of this money printed up in Germany. Le Progress states that at the be- ginning of the war the Rumanian na- tionaI debt was only 500, 900, 900 lei, and that now it is more than 30,- OoO,000,000, with no means of esti- mating the exact amount of paper money in circulation. The standard paper money of the country at pres- ent is that issued by the Nationa. Bank of Rumania.
 In June, paper money printed in the United States will go into circu- lation and all other moneys will be with drawn, it is believed, through the Rumanian government, since it has taken over the new provinces of Tran sylvania and Bukovina and Bessara- bia where crowns and rub1es are in l circulation, has not yet decided how l it will solve note circulation problem | or what value will be given to these | old moneys.
 | Meanwhile the Rumanian govern 1 ment is making a determined effort | to stamp out the new industries of running cheap moneys over her from I tiers and trading it for leis. At times 1 men have been arrested with four. | five or six million patches of Austro- | Hungarian notes. Some of the men l arrested have been Americans osten- | sibly on automobile tours from Hun ! gary. Whenever captured these mon ! ey runners are arrested and the
 money in their possession confiscated.

REPUDIATING ROOSEVELT

The Republican party, while cheer ing the name of Roosevelt, has fin ally repudiated his work, root and branch. In nominating Harding 1t has reverted to the condition from which it's progressive members have labored and fought for so long to emancipate it. Senator Harding rep7 resents precisely and completly the standards, the methods and the ideas which prevailed at the time of Roose- velt's accession to the Presidency, and which at that time were rather more defensible than they are today. The progressive agitation of the last twenty years within the Republican party has ended in a flat failure. It has deliberately renounced the ten dency to progressivisn1 with which it started on it's career. It has left Republicans who prefer progressiv- ism to Republicanism no alternative but to get out of the party. It has vindicated the action of those Repuo- licans who renounced their allegiance on the day Taft was nominated ana who have never seen any sufficient reason for renewing <it.-The New Republic.
