COMPANY FORMED TO AID
EMIGRATION FROM ITALY
Rome Syndicate With Capital Of
$500, COO Lire to Equip Peo-
pie for Change.

ROME, November 2s.-A syndicate,
with capital Of 3.50o.oo0 lire. has
been organized here to promote emf
grafton and to assist the italian
emigrants in their enterprises in
which they may engage in other
countries. 1t is intended. also, to
make q study Of the opportunities
offered by the foreign countries to
Italian immigrants and to protect
them in their efforts to find new
homes and means Of livelihood out
side, Of Italy.
The syndicate includes in its mem
bership some of the most important
Italian banks. steamship companies
and representatives Of workmen's or
ganizations, both socialist and Cath
olic.
In order to equip the emigrants for
new modes Of life in foreign coun-
tries, special schools have been
founded to teach them to read and
write and to train them for trades
or for farm work.
It is understood here that Brazil
is the country having the greatest
need for workers. but that Brazil
requires not so many individual I'M
migrants as it needs entire families
to populate the immense extent OF
land. Furthermore. Italian emigra-
check by the belief that large capi-
tai would be needed to cut the
forests from the land which the Bra

LoUvAIN. Belgium. November 90
Personal libraries Of German sa-

the shelves Of the Louvain Library
looted by the Germans in the war.
The German professors are hard hit

library restoration committee, told q
correspondent of the London Daily
News here that Louvain was very
grateful for the consignment Of
books from American well.wishers,
although, as he put it. the American
collection, being an essentially mod.

ABANDON PLAN TO

RETURN THIS WEEK

Athens, Dec. S.-(By the Associated
Press. 1.-The plans to have ex-Kins
Constantine return to Greece this
week appeared today to have been
abandoned. The decision of the gov
ernment apparently was to continue
its wait and see" policy. with the
tendency to leave the decision as to
Constantine's return to the throne
with the ex-king himself.
The financial pressure of the Brit
1sh upon the government, which
should be exerted against the plan to
restore Constantine, appears to have
beconsa stronger.

the movement which led to the down.
fall of Nenizelos. has appealed to

Constantine received today his first
official communication from Premier
Rhallis of Greece with regard to last

stantine's return to the throne. The

opinion in Greece on Constantines re-
return and added:

The message gave incomplete re-.
turns Of the plebiscite. indicating a
tremendous vote for Constantine. but
embodied no plans for his return.

STARTED WRONG.

Madrid. Nov. .-(MaiD-Every-
body hitherto has gone wrong in in
vestisating the problem OF old age
and decay because the study of the
subject has started from the wrong
end according to Spanish scientist.
A. de Gregorio Rocasolano. He says
scientists begun by investigating old
age in man and in the higher organ
isms. which might be compared to the
study of mathematics beginning with
the differential calculus.
He argued that at present it was
possible to study scientifically the ad-
vent of old age and the conclusion
would be reached that there is no So
luton Of continuity between inert
matter and live matter. Modern bio
logical Investigations proved. he said.
that form was not the base of life.
The calls. he declared. are heterogen-
eous chemical systems. which are not
the living form but live matter. In
the same way as the atom is the
smallest possible mass h'ch can en-
ter into chemical combinations. the
cell is the smallest possible quantity
of live matter that can be identified,
but is itself composed of living units.
He concluded the difference between
dead and live matter is not chemical
but physco-chemical.
