WIESBADEN, Rhenish Prussia,
March 5.-Scorned, villifed and held
up as high traitor by his compa-
triots. DR.. Hans Dorten. the self
styled president of the Rhineland. is
more determined than ever to fight
become his religion. and a visitor,
looking into his defiant eyes and at
his long, powerful, cIean-shaven face,
wonders just how far fanaticism will
carry him, and whether it will be to
nervous breakdown or to final vic
tory. Persecution indeed has already
made him nervous in quite an un-
German fashion.
'I am not supported by French
money" he said to the WRITER. Il am
not a traitor to the German empire,
and l defy any court in the father
land to prove the contrary. Though l
do not like to talk about my personal
doings. / want to call attention to the
fact that | fought throughout the
whole war as an officer in the artil-
lery and won the iron cross as early

MY whole object is to prevent fu-
ture wars between Germany and
France. ] want to create an autono-
nous state on the Rhine. within the
limits Of the German empire. but pos
sessing a certain amount of home rule
and, like Bavaria and Saxony, free
from the heavy yoke of Prussia. Any
Rhinelander will tell you that he
wastes no love on Prussia. and l am
sure that, if he were given a fair
chance. he would elect to manage his
own affairs.

the German constitution. / hope to

Theoretically Dr. Dortens idea
may be sound 1t is supported by
many Germans who wish for a fed
Grated republic. but unfortunately it
attacks the strongest element in Ger
many at time when the country Is
passing through a national crisis and
is sympathetically received by the

age German. Furthermore. the Prus-
sian newspapers mislnterpret DR..
Dorten's intentions. They wilfully
make the people believe that he
wants a new and Independent Ger

That the officials in Berlin have
some fear of the resourceful young
man is evident from the pains they
took to kidnap him last summer. His
resources must be considerable. He
is member of wealthy Rhineland

the wealthiest people can afford to
live. He has gat, cred some followers
around him. as is shown by the fact

He described the speech as conceived
in a splendid spirit for the people OF
the world. highly instructive and
highly moral"
Mexico and the United States, the
president said, had never been dis
cussed by the present government OF
Mexico. explaining that recognition
would not be urged by Mexico, but
must follow as the inclinations of the
several countries dictate.
President Obregon had received no
official word on the American posi-
ton with regard to recognition OF
any Mexican government, as outlined
by former Senator Albert b. Fail OF
New Mexico, the new Secretary OF
Interior, in a letter recently made
public by the National Association for
the Protection of American Rights in
Mexico.

when the aggregate number of MEM

DIR. Carroll's Statement.
Dr. Carroll said in 1919 decreases
were shown in most of the churches.
He compar red figures of some OF the
larger groups showing that in 1919
the Methodist group lost 1881 !;
Presbyterian group lost 46.4o9. and
the Baptist group lost 1l,1os. In 1920
these groups gained. respectively,
H37.127. 43.o31 and 129,2sS. The three
large Baptist bodies. he said, have
not yet completed their statistics. and
IL is believed that the actual figures
will show a gain of more than 129.-
o6D in the year. BapuSms IN the
Southern Baptist Church have reached
the unprecedented figure of $4,000,
with churches yet to be heard from.
The Roman Catholic Church showed
a somewhat smaller increase in 1920
of 1858. Doubtless when immig gra-
ton sets in again, it was pointed out,
the increase will be greater.
Losses in Ranks OF Ministers.
Notwithstanding the Very en-
cowaging returns in the number of
commandments" said DR.. Carroll.
losses continue in the number OF
ministers and of churches in the vari-
GUS denominations. There is a net
loss in the Methodist group; and this
decrease has been going on for some
time. apparently without serious de-
nominational notice. The Methodist
Episcopal Church lost 200 churches
in 1920 and 22S in 1919. The loss of
churches for all denominations is $50
for 1920.
There is an increase in the aggre-
gate number of ministers, but many
Of the denominations report losses,

eran, Presbyterian and Baptist bodies.
