The old question Of whether Catholi-
cism is really international has arisen
again as a result Of the discovery that
the Superior of one Of the biggest OF the
Paris converts is a German. Cardinal
Archbishop Dubois, 1t was learned, al
ready has been approached twice IN an
effort to settle the status of Sister Won
Lobe, who is reported to be sister of
two German war generals and a cousin
Of at least a dozen other officers who
were in high standing in the Kaiser's
forces. and with whom she was said to
have been in constant touch during the
Germa occupation Of Brussels.
Sister Won Lobe was elected five years
ago to the highest Office in the Order or
the Sacred Heart, which had been found
ed forty years before by n French wom-
an with view 70 educating children Of
French officers. Since then 1t has spread
throughout Europe and has several chap
ters in America, but In the midst OF the
war the allied nations even overlooked
that Sister Won Lobe displayed the Ger
man flag above her convent in Bruss els
while the Germans were in control there.
The Paris headquarters Of the order
are in the Boulevard Montparnasse and
are to be reopened next October. The
sisters are appealing not only for pupils,
but for funds with which to carry on
their religious work-not In France, but
in districts in Austria where the German
influences are strongest.
The matter has not yet been submitted
to the Ministry OF the Interior. but pa
triotic Catholics here threaten to ask
the expulsion of the order from France
unless sister Won Lobe is relieved of her
mower as Superior

creations for American and French
theatres. is embarking as a theatrical
manager, but he will appeal only to a
limited clientele. Poiret has a splendid
garden near the Bois> de Boulogne and
has decided to use 1t as setting for a
theatre which he will install nightly
beneath the trees surrounded by
exotic blossoms.
During the day the garden will have
the usual appearance. but o'clock will
see a transformation. Chairs will be
brought from cellars by a trolley sys-
tenn. A portable stage will be wheeled
out from the garage. lights will be
turned on and over all will be spread
rubber roof weighing nearly half a ton.
Four hundred seats will be available,
hut none for critics. as Poiret intends
presenting programmes by new writers
as we'll as old favorites.
He has solved the problem of keeping
his company in order by hiring a Rus
sian director with Bolshevistic tenden
cies, but IL Is doubted If even he will be
able to keep discomfort from the ranks
of the players, as Polret has just an
nounced that he does not think 1t wise
policy to strive for long runs and will
limit his productions to ten nights.
When they tire of Poiret's efforts
theatregoers can find novelty In the
Psychic Theatre. which is being financed
by French spiritualists. Here pro-
grammes will be devoted to spirit prop
aganda and all the music will be ar
ranged with psychological effect cal
culated to put the visitors in a mood to
receive revelations from the choicest
mediums available. Incense will be kept
burning continuously and heavily
scented flowers will deaden the senses
to all exterior influences.
Spiritualist societies already have
listed dozen plays dealing with psy-
chic problems. In one where the role
OF a medium is necessary real spiritu-
alism is practised. With the lights
turned low the real medium carries on
seance, but so far, probably owing
to the presence Of doubling Thomases
or nonpsychic influences. the hoped for
naturalization has failed to arrive
While Poirets theatre will be costly
enough to keep out the motley throng.
the spiritualists have decided that the
time has come tos spread their propa-
ganda and will let the crowds enter
free as long as the police do not inter-
fere with the movement.

London, June 4.
Bathing suit reform, which was de-
feated everywhere among the kindly
disposed and appreciative public" may
now come about through the so-called
offenders themselves. This is the
opinion of Alderman Tonbridge OF Kent,
who has long been campaigning against
what he called indecorous scenes on the
beach. Women bathers at Hythe are
now reported TO have expressed a wish
for more modest attire than has been the
case in the past at that resort.
Mr.. Tonbr;cgs told the town council
that the bathing costumes with skirts
were as tight fitting as the one piece
suits and he moved that the council
should authorize the Inspector to pur-
chase a quantity OF two piece costumes
The resolution was adopted. Mr.. Ton
bridge considers II victory that many
women profess the sensibilities Of
modesty which have so enshrlned the
SEX" and he thinks by their own activity
they in the near future will make the
tight fitting one piece bathing costume
as unpopular as the two piece suit has
been.

Prisoner Who Tried to Kill
Queen Victoria Dies

LONDON, July 1.--Roderick Mclean,
who on March 2, 1882, attempted to
murder Queen Victoria, died yesterday
in a lunatic asylum at Broadmoor, hav-
ing outlived by twenty years his in
tended victim.
Few people in London now remember
the incident, which caused tremen-
deus sensation at the time. McLean's
attempt to murder the Queen took
place at the railway station at Wind
sor. Queen Victoria, Princess Beatrice
and other members of the court had
Just arrived at Windsor from London,
and the Queen was walking across the
station platform to waiting carriage
when Mclean, who had been lettering
about, drew a revolver and fired at
point blank range.
The shot went wild, and member Of
the local police force, throwing him
self upon Mclean, wrested the revolver
from his hand before he could fire a
second time. Mclean was tried for
high treason, but was found not guilty
on the ground of insanity, and was
committed as dangerous lunatic to
the asylum where he spent the remain
ing forty years of his life.
