THE CATHOLICS
THROUGHOUT
WORLD TO-DAY
COMMEMORATIVE THE 6OOth AN
NIYERsARY OF THE DEATH
OF DANTE ALIG-
HIERI.
Associated Press

ROME, September l4.-Catholics
throughout the world today, especially
in their schools, colleges and univer-
stiles, are concentrating the 600th
anniversary of the death of Dante
Alighieri, the great Florentine poet
and father of the Italian language"
in accordance with the encyclical Of
Pope Benedict issued last May.
The Pontiff in his address quoted
many passages from Dante as confir-
ming the Catholic doctrine and as
showing how profound was his respect
for the teachings of the church and
its authority. In concluding he pro-
claimed Dante as "the greatest sing
er of the Christian Truth" and invited
all scholars to study his works in the
same Christian spirit as they were
written. The divine poet of Christ
endom," he said, "sang in divine ac-
cent those Christian ideals which he
admired in all the vigor of their
beauty"
In anticipation of the sex-centen-
ary of Dante's death the government
VI lIdly IeCeIlGly iuIIlOLlEGI Iilc GA
penditure of 100000 lire for the pub
lication of new edition of his works
and for the restoration of the Baptis-
try of Florence. For number of
months Catholic scholars have been
renewing their acqauintanceship with
"The Divine Comedy" "Vita Nuova"
"De Monarchia," "Convito," "de Vul-
gari Eloquentia," "Eclogues," "de
Aqua ct Terra" and his Letters"
Dante, in Italy, is almost a nation
al deity. So far is this alteration car
ried out, some years ago, when Sir
Henry Irving gave his drama which
had Dante as its hero, the Italians
rose as one man to protest against
the destruction of their idol. In the
historic house and tower which the
Count Anguillar ADULT in 18th cen
tury and which was frequented by
Dante, lectures by famous students
of the great poets life and works have
been given in recent years.

IF POLITICAL
SITUATION IN
The Far East Is Revised, Acts Of
Powers Affecting Pacific Should
Be RecOnsidered.
Associated Press

TOXIC, Sept. 14.--H the present
political situation in the Far East is
revised at Washington Conference,
then earlier acts of powers affecting
the Pacific should also be reconsidered
il is argued among the Jap publicists.
This follows Japan's contention in its
reply to the United States that quest
ions regarded as accomplished facts
should be avoided at the conference.
Professor Matsunami, an authority
on international law who was a dele
gate TO the Hague conference, insists,
for example, that the Panama Canal
should be placed under international
control for the benefit Of the world.
He declares that if the conference
asks Japan TO evacuate Siberia and to
abandon Korea and Formosa, then it
should also ask the United States to
return most of the United States to
the Indians and grant independence
to Hawaii and the Philippines. Great
Britain, he added, should then make
Canada and Australia completely free
and return Hongkong to China.
Approximations Of drastic revision
of Japan's position in the Far East
which are finding renewed expression
are believed to be the inspiration Of
comments like these.
The Yorodzu says it is convinced
that the conference will place Japan
on the "chopping board" 1t fears
that the twenty-oBe demands on Chi
ma will be annulled and that Japan
will be forced to eyacuate South Man

WHO THE PEOPLE
WERE WHO PUT Up
The Massive Walls, Fortifications
And Platforms On Islands Still
Remains A Mystery.

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Sept. 14.-Who
the people were who erected the mas
sive walls, Notifications and plat
forms to be found on widely separ-
ated islands all through the South
Seas still remains a mystery.
For the past 1S months a represen'
tative of the British Museum has
been studying the massive stone
structures on Easter Island. He is
now on his way to Rapa to investi-
gate the megalithic remains on the
slopes of the mountains there. The
same race that erected the colossal
statues on Easter Island, he believes
constructed the Rapa Notifications.
These great builders were a race
of white men of Aryan stock, accord
ing to Professor Macmillan Brown Of
New Zealand, who has written boob
in support of his contention.
After emigrating across the steppes
of Asia in the Stone Age, the New
Zealand professor says these white
men finally occupied the japanese Is
lands. But again lney lioVeu oH, 'ii'
time compelled by increasing pres
sure of Mongolian hordes coming
down from the high plateaus Of thu
continent, and they went out to fine
new habitations across the wide ex
panse of the Pacific.
There they set up an island EN-
pire with its capital the great me
galithic city, the walls of which still
Stand, on the island of Ponape in th'
| Carolines. 1t was this white race
the professor maintains, that in tn
davs of their undisputed possession
of the South Sea islands erected thes
enduring monuments.
Many centuries later came darl
skinned race from Indonesia whic
conquered the inhabitants and ANAL
gamating with them produced tn
Polynesian type of today.
Professor MacMillan-B Browns ar
gument is not generally accepted a
sound by the larger number OF stu
dents of Polynesian origins, but the
have failed so far to offer con
vincing theory in its place.

TO PLACE WHEELS
UNDER IDAHO TOWN
ENGINEERS WILL ROLL AMER
ICAN FALLS TWO MILES
AND BUILD BIG DAM.

POCATELLO, Idaho. - Removal
of the entire town OF American Falls,
Idaho, with its population of 1000,
two or three miles to a new site high
er than its present location, is to be
attempted within a few months by en-
gineers working on huge irrigation
project.
Waters of the Snake river, on which
American Falls is located, are to be
damned, according to present plans,
and will be used to reclaim some three
hundred thousand or more acres OF
arid land now given over to sage
brush.
Engineers say the problem is one OF
the largest ever attempted. The big
dam Itself will have an abutment OF
one mile in length, will be sixty feet
high and will have base sufficiently
strong to stand an additional thirty
feet should it ever be deemed neces-
sary to add to its height.
The big reservoir to be filled by the
waters backing up from the dam will
cover some seventy-six square miles
and will have an impound of 3000,00O
square feet.
Its waters will extend from Ameri-
can Falls to Blackfoot, distance OF
about twenty miles. The reservoir will
have a shore line of nearly one hun
bred miles and its widest point will be
four miles across and, in places, nine
ty feet deep.
Besides moving the town OF Ameri-
can Falls it will be necessary to tear
up the Oregon Short Line Railroad
and move it to higher bench land. A
railroad bridge will be RACED and a new
one constructed farther up the Snake
river
The dam site has been surveyed
and preliminary work in the form OF
drilling for solid rock foundation has
been started
