WILSON FIRM ON
ADRIATIC ISSUE
Presidents Reply NJ X e :
Plain L. S. Position On
Question.

LONDON, March 6.-Pres't Wilson
i'm his reply TO the allied cOmmunica-
ton OF Feb %, reaftirms his position
that the only settlement acceptable
10 the United States in the Adriatic
dispute will be an agreement by di-
rect negotiations between Italy and
Jugo-S lavia or the settlement pro-
posed in the agreement OF Dec. 9, ac-
cording 20 information from French
sources here today.
The presidents reply. II was UNI
derstOod. was received Thursday al
though its receipt was not made pub
lie until yesterday. In some quar-
ters the reply was interpreted as the
death knell Of the secret treaty Of
London. The note, IL was under
stood. again makes il clear that
Pres't Wilson cannot recognize this
agreement.
Some Opposition Appears.
Considerable opposition to the
Turkish settlement has arisen in sew
erai quarters. IL was learned today.
Critics of the settlement, as an
nounced by the council of premiers
declared the allies have decided
upon complete effacement Of the
Turkish empire and that its actual
dismem berment has been all but ac-
Complished.
The financial sphere Of influence"
assigned to Great Britain, France.
Greece and Italy are merely camou-
flage for complete annexation, these
critics asserted. While the allied
premiers were careful TO mask their
real designs. IL was pointed out each
nation carefully safeguarded her
own interests in the near east. know
ing there was little likelihood of any
change once the decisions were
made.
The assignment of ConstantinOple
and Anatolia to Turkey, they be-
lieved. will not mean that the Turk
will have unlimited influence in these
districts. The Caliphate. they de-
clared is destined TO political and
economic slavery.

between the allied powers has re-
suited from the division, the Greeks,

READING AND
CITIZENSHIP

Because some 60,OOO,OOO Ameri-
cans do not or cannot come to the
library it has been decreed that the
library shall be taken to the citizen.
The American Library association,
representing some 5000 repositories
OF books, is formulating a vigorous
campaign TO extend facilities 10 re-
mote districts and arouse keener in
terest generally in the advantages
of good reading
1t is chiefly TANNED 10 bring TO
the attention of those who read lit
tie. books dealing with present-day
topics and problems. To this might
we'll be added earnest effort 10 slim
ulate g more general reading Of his
tory and of American biography.
Knowledge of current. events en-
ables a man 10 form an opinion up
on today's problems, but only the
background afforded by experience
can enable him generally to form a
wise opinion. II is an erroneous sup
position that history and the politi-
cal writings of the previous century
are dry and dull. On the contrary,
many historical works today have
all the charm Of fiction without sac
rifce OF accuracy. II is a short step
from interest in the affairs of today
70 interest in the affairs OF yester-
day.
Good citizens, who know their
America and its history, are needed
always, but never more than now
The study of our institutions opens
an inexhaustible fount. It's waters
stimulate but. happily. never quench
the thirst. All that the library as
ISOLATION can do is provide the foun-
tain.

PUBLISHING SOCIETY
WINS OVER CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE CHURCH BOARD

rectOrs passed a resolution dismiss
ing Rowlands. The judge found
that this was done in pursuance Of
a plan TO bring about retirement Of
ali the trustees and 10 install in their
places trustees who would admit the
directors final authority.
Rowlands was completely eXOner-
ated from the charges contained in
the resolution OF dismissal. The
Judge found that the real reason
for selection OF him for removal was
that he had been the last appointed
Of the three trustees, because he
had no pupils m Christian Science
rs had his co-trustees; because he
had not so many Christian Science
friends who might be disturbed by
his removal as they had and that
the directors who voted 10 remove
him were induced 20 do so rather
by their purpose 10 carry through
their plan 10 obtain control OF the
publishing society than by any OF
the reasons they recited in their
resolution.
On Diminishing Trustees.
In passing upon the question of
power Of the directors TO dismiss a
trustee OF the publishing society,
Judge Dodge found that Mrs. Eddy
expressly gave this power to the
first members" OF the church but
required, also, concurrence Of the
trustees under the deed Of 1892,
designated as the Christian Science
board OF directors and that this
power did not survive 10 the present
directors when the first members
rendered themselves incapable Of eX-
ercising the power of removal
given 20 them. II was also found
that the directors do not constitute
a corporate body and that they could
not increase their number TO five.
II was further found that by the
provisions of the trust deed of 1898
establishing publishing society
Mrs. Eddy reserves only a power TO
control the trustees in the manage
ment of their business. TO be exer-
cised at her option by Mrs. Eddy
herself. and 10 cease at her death.
Member of Board.
Judge Dodge found that Ditto
more is a member of the board of
directors instead Of Mrs. Annie NJ.
Knott. elected in his place both un-
der the trust deed of 1892 and the
bylaws of the church.
The hearings began June and
ended Sept. -. 1919. Counsel for
the trustees were: Sherman L.
Whipple and Lathrop wilmington,
Boston; Charles r. Hughes. New
York, and Silas Strawn, Chicago.
Frank S. Streeter and T. +. Demond,
Concord. y. H., and William G.
Thompson. Boston, represented Dit

BOSTON, Mass, March 5, - The
trustees OF the Christian Science
Publishing society Friday won their
suit against the Christian Science
board Of directors 10 restrain the
directors from interfering with the
society.
At the same time. John V. Ditto
more won his suit for reinstatement
as "a member of the board OF di-
reCtors.
John Frederick Dodge as special
master. found that the directors had
no legal right 20 remove Lamont
ROwlands from the board Of trustees
and that the charges against him
were not sufficient in law nor made
in good faith. IL was also held that
the directors had no power 20 dis
charge Dittemore and that even If
they had the power the reasons as
signed were insufficient and not
made in good faith.
Involves Two Deeds.
The suit involved Interpretation Of
two deeds OF trust made by Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy, founder OF the
church. The first made Sept. /.
known as the Christian Science
board Of directors" with certain
powers. the land upon which the
Mother Church was later erected.
The other, dated Jan. %. 1898, gave
to the three trustees the property
Of the Christian Science Publishing
society upon certain perpetual and
irrevertable trusts for the promo
ton of the interests Of Christian
Science and required payment of the
net profits 20 the treasurer OF the
mother church.
The suit was precipiSated in
March. 1919. when the board of di-
rectOrs. Dittemore dissenting. at
tempted TO dismiss Rowlands. After
voting TO do this, the board passed
another resolution which, after recit-
Ing certain charges purported 20 dis
miss DittemOre. The three trustees
Immediately brought suit 10 restrain
the members Of the board of di-
rectors from interfering with the
publishing society and to declare
the action OF the board illegal.
Later DittemOre brought suit de-
claring the action of the board il
legal and asking reinstatement.
Long Controversy.
Judge Dodge found that the con-
troversy began in the fall of 1918
regarding the extent that the t-us-
tees Of the publishing society we're
subject TO control and supervision
by the directors. It became acute
when the trustees refused to sign
an agreement whereby they were
made to declare their understanding
with the directors TO be that the di-
rectors had final authority in regard
TO the publishing society AS the
trustees refused TO do this the di-

was suggested that "a military
promenade be taken against him.
That promenade" grew into a de-
sultory campaign which took three
years and cost the British govern

power was only temporarily broken
by the battle OF JidbalH. for he fled

Collected Large Army.
While he was only one OF the
lesser religious chiefs Of his coun-
try. his pilgrimage to Mecca and his
zeal in preaching the Moslem faith
augmented his influence until he
had collected a large army, in which
were some OF the best fighting
tribes in that part of Africa.
tHe preached war for the pro-
lection OF Islam and advocated the
determination OF whites, and with
the increase OF his power began a
crusade, aided by dervishes. which
finally extended over the whole Of
SOmaliIand.
