A Baptist Seminary-By Frank Willis Barnett

Washington, D. c. (1s20), appointed a committee consisting of one from each state to take the matter in hand and, after making careful investiga- ton. to report at the last convention, which assembled in Chattanooga.
 The committee, which consisted largely of men connected with the educational work In each state, re- ported it's findings in the following words:
 We recommend the establishing of another theological seminary. anl that the several states be invited to make proposals as to the location of such seminary, and that these pro- posals be presented through your committee to the next session of the convention"
 In commenting on this. Dr. l.. r.. Gwaltney. editor of the Alabama Bap- tist, says:
 The definite policy of the conven- tion, therefore, is to building in the south another seminary. Of course, tho whole matter may be temporarily held up in Jacksonville, but if the committee carries out it's instruc- tions, presumably it is in a position at the present time to receive pro- posals from the several states.
 We do not know just what these proposals would signify. whether material inducements such as land and so much money or territorial and

The Irish catholics and the bishops are on the same side. It IS ineoneeivable that DeValera, even II he tried, could again lash his people into warfare.

 Our concern with these grave matters has not turned our atten- tion from the splendid work that is being done at Washington. As a nation we had been exercised about the Japanese treaty. We gained from 1t in the past, for Japan had loy- ally played her part when we were sorely pressed and we felt that we could not fairly dismiss her when our turn had been served.

There Is no trio of resources comparable to an mex haustible supply of iron, coal and limestone. It has recently been shown that pever on the American continent has any city reached such a population in 50 years of history.
 Tt Is not far from the geograpn- ical center of our territory, west Of the river, It has unsurpassed raiI- road facilities. A great Baptist col lege Is already located here; so is the education board and the W. NJ. U. headquarters of the south. If an other Baptist seminary Is ever to bs established. Birmingham ought to bs carefully and prayerfully considered The unanswerable arguments that brought the education board and the w. M. U, to this city would hold ia the case of the other seminary also.
 The status being as 1t Is. a lot of preliminary work ought to be under taken by the Baptists of Birmingham, aided by the Chamber of Commerce. Civic Association clubs and other To- cal organizations, all backed heartily by the city commission. If our peo- pie get In behind 1t right there Is good chance to land a big seminary here.

 How to reconcile our duty to Japan with this policy was a difficult ques- tion, happily sol-nd in the best of all possible ways by absorbing the Anglo-Japanese treaty in widen agreement. France as well as the United States and Japan are with us in a pact which guarantees that certain problems of the Far Eas. will cease from troubling the world for at least ten years. It is 8 great achievement Together with tho reduction of ornaments it gives the Washington conference an histori- cal significance.

 The next task Is the question of reparations and their adjustment to the industrial and economic needs of the world. That is the task to Which Mr. Lloyd George is now ap- plying his mind.

TREATMENT FOR ALLLEPERS|N THE
 PHILIPPINES GOAL
Wood Determined All Inmates of Conoly Shall Be Given Medical Treatment
 if Possible
Rx Assneiatad Press

Manila, P. l., October 20.-(By Mail. 1.-The extension of the ethyl aster treatment to all lepers in the Philippine Islands is the chief prob lem engaging the attention of Dr.. Victor c. Heiser, chief of the far eastern section of the Rockefeller Foundation, who is making an inves- tigation of health conditions in the archipelago for that organization.
 Dr. Heiser has endeavored to as- certain the exact quantity of chaul- moogra oil in the Philippine Islands, and is also looking Into the possi- bility of obtaining a sufficient supply to treat all of the 5000 persons suf- fering from leprosy on Gulion Island, where the lepers of the Philippine group are confined.
 Gen. Leonard Wood, who became governor general of the Philippines last week, has made up his mind that all of the lepers at the colony shall receive the treatment, If 1t is pos sible," said Dr. Heser. "He made this announcement in public address re- gently. I am looking up the avail able supply of oil for this work, not only from the local standpoint, but from Worldwide aspect. It is pos sible that the raw material for the oil can be found in the Philippines, and if that should prove to be the case, the islands will have another industry and might even supply the world.
 There are at present more than 100000 lepers in the world. India alone has more than 300.000, and Ja- pan about 50.000 Some of the South American countries also have largo numbers. The treatment requires about 30 liters of oil per 1000 pa ticnts a month, so that the possibili- ties of the chau1moogra oil industry are apparent.
 "The oil is extracted from a nut growing on the hydnocarpus tree, a variety of which is found on the Is- land of Mindanao. We do not know, however. whether the Philippine tree yields the kind of oil that has the proper medical properties for the sue cessful treatment of leprosy. That will have to be determined by thor ough analysis, which only a high class chemist can perform"
 A shipment of some TOO pounds or sbeut 300 liters of chaulmoogra oil left Calcutta for Manila few days ago. Cabiegrams alse have been sent to various parts of the world in an attempt to obtain sufficient supply for giving treatment to all the lepers at Culion. Among the lepers con fined at Cufion are five former Amer ican soldiers. They have not been included in the 300 or 400 who are receiving the chaulmoogra oil treat ment. but with the meager pension which one of the ex-soldiers draws from the United States government the five are able to buy small amount of medicine and thus obtain infrequent treatment.

 Copyright, 1921, by The AEe-Herald.l
 London, December 1.-The in- transigence of Eamonn DeValera and Lord Carson may seem in America to have plunged the Irish settlement once more into hopeless confusion, but the view of the sturdy and sane John Bull type of citizen is that final peace is here at last and that the violence of the ex- tremist leaders on both sides is as unavailing as that of the waves against the eternal rocks.
 Ratification of the agreement by Parliament yesterday by an over whelming vote, meant more as an indication of Britains determination for peace than most people imagine. The agreement goes miles further than anything dreamed of before. We have grown accustomed to regard home rule" in terms of John Red- mond's demands, which still left Ireland within the fiscal and defen- sive system of the United Kingdom. The scheme under consideration AhdhSS sdu havoc or many pTtNiOuS professions. Ireland is to be a state in community of free states hence the dangers and doubts of the week, which have been fed by DeValera's declarations of rejection and Carson's bitter hostility.
 Practical John Bull
 But John Bull is a practical 2. well as a magnanimous and stol - piece of humanity. He has faced the facts with equanimity and good will. He orealized that through 1t the world the growth of other domin- ions to the status of free states had disposed people toward a larger sym pathy for Irish aspirations.
 Lord Morley and Lord Dunraven in the House of Lords: Sir Samuel Hoare and the writer in the Com mons, led off the debates and rep resented all shades of British poh- tics in appreciation of the Kings generous gesture at Belfast, when he opened the Ulster parliament, and in hearty indorsement of the agreement drawn up at Downing street. The leaders of all parties gave 1t their blessing amidst scenes Of unqualified enthusiasm. Even the unionists, who have fought for gen erations against any separation of Ireland from the United Kingdom. courageously faced new needs based on new facts. As for the ''predom- inant partner" Mir. Lloyd George scores a magnificent success.
 Acceptance Certain
 If hesitation on the Irish side causes anxiety, it is because of the attitude taken by Devalera. and the respect felt to be due him. But

THE SITUATION OF T HE JEWS IN HUNGARY
By Miss Dorothy Thompson to ,abset -

gary could do without her pro-
fessionally trained Jews is a ques-
ton. Sixty per cent OF all the
physicians in Budapest today are
Jews. Forty per cent of all law
yers and an equal proportion of
engineers and teachers are Jews
in spite of the fact that the Jew
ish population is only five per
cent of the total in Hungary. AS
one who became pretty familiar
with conditions in Budapest hos
pitfalls during a two months stay,
| can say that it is impossible to
imagine what would be today the
state of Hungarian children and
invalids had it not been for the
heroic efforts of Jewish physi-
clans. After the Roumanian in
vasion Hungary was left desti-
tute of all hospital supplies. Pa
tents have had to be cared for in
wards where there was neither
linen, bandages, soap nor medica-
ments, and all hospitals have been
overcrowded. Budapest has more
lupus" Tuberculosis of the skin,
a very serious and unpleasant dis
ease-than any city in Europe,
and the number of cases of We
nereal disease is simply appalling.
In face of these difficulties and in
spite of the discrimination against
them because of their nationality
and religion, Jewish physicians
have not relaxed one moment in
their fight to keep Hungary well.
| remember seeing one young
Jewess, a surgeon, who was per-
forming the most delicate ortho-
pedic operation in children's
hospital, averaging ten cases a
day, and receiving for this serv-
ice the sum of 600 kronen a
month-$2.5O at the present rate

The rounding up and intern
ment of all Jews who entered the
country since 1914 continue with
out let-up. All countries of Cen
trail Europe pursue this policy of
deportation-and a madden and
more futile one was never in
vented. 1t is not to the credit of
the League of Nations that the
only decision which it has passed
in regard to this matter has been

try may shove across its borders
