TOPIC SHIFTS,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25, - The
arms conference discussion of far
eastern questions shifted today to
the possibility OF ahridging the syh-
TEN OF extra territorial rights, uns
der which the powers maintained
their own judicial agencies In China
for the trial Of cases IN which thetr
respective nationals are involved.
China wants the extra territorial
privilege abolished altogether nj
though her delegates have indicaf
ed doubts whether the present 1tdis
cial machinery Of the Chinese Eoy+
ernment would make it possible to-
withdraw the foreign tribunal ims
mediately. All the other nat
concerned have expressed the hope
that something can be done toBaytl
modifying the present systen but
have evidenced IN the m1lns e. feals
ing that nothing Of a sweeptng
acter In that direction Is tlS,:
Just now. The session o. the
delegations sitting as q awhole 10

/ lem was the only meeting pf q.
conference for its subdivi htons on
todays program. The questions Of
land and naval armament haze
again gone In temporary eclipsaj
while experts prepare their opin-i
ions as TO details. II was thong gl1t
by some OF the delegates that the
committee deliberations might aiso
reach the subject Of leases DURING

Shantung and Manchuria.
Meantime the clash Of opinion be-

British spokesmen over the mesfi;

SCHOOL QUESTION RELIEVED
TENSION RELAXED IN GERMANY
- PRUSSiAN MINISTER OF
CULTS STATEMENT PLEAsES
CATHOLICS.

German Catholics are somewhat re-
lieved, if not wholly treasured, by the
public statements of DR.. Boelitz, new
Minister of Cults of Prussia, with re-
gard to his attitude toward education.
A "kulturkampf," he declares, would
be crime against the people, writes
DIR. Won Capitaine.
Speaking before the Landtag, DR..
Boelitz said that while he could not
commit himself at the moment to a
definite course of policy and pro-
cedure, the stability of the school pro-
gram was certain.
Text books of history would have to
be changed, DR.. Boelitz said, and he
recommends well written collection
of facts and book of sources. With
reference to the training of teachers,
DR.. Boelitz's views are practically
those of his predecessor.
Dr. Boelitz's accession to the office
of Minister of Cults is at least a re-
freshing change from revolutionary
conditions which put Adolf Hoffman
in that Office in Berlin and laundress
in the corresponding position in
Brunswick. At last, men of education
and culture seem to be regaining the
most important appointments under
| the government.

CATHOLIC HISTORIANS MEET
GATHERING TO BE IN ST. LOUIS
ON DECEMBER 27-s,

Distinguished educators and writer's
from many parts of the United States
will gather in st. Louis this month to
attend the second annual meeting of
the American Catholic Historical As
sociation, which starts December 27
and will last three days. The associa-
ton was founded in Cleveland in 1919,
and held it's first annual meeting in
Washington last year.
Members of four other important
historical associations, including the
American Historical Association and
the Mississippi Valley Historical AS
sociation, will meet there at the same
time, and the reception committee OF
the American Catholic Historical AS
ISOLATION has already made provision
to have one thousand copies of the
history of the diocese of st. Louis dis.
tributed among delegates and mem
bers of the different organizations.
Twelve interesting papers will be
read at the convention.

solid arguments for controlling or
limiting the size Of human fami-
lies. There are underlying causes
of these effects; but the modern
pagan social worker would permit
the physical evils by teaching
what has been termed sex n.y.
giene; dirty doctrine that is
nothing more nor less than per-
sonal training in sex perversion.
Poverty is not based upon the
number of children, but rather up
on economic causes that prevent
fair distribution Of material goods.
Why not work for personal pur-
ity and for more justice in the
industrial world? Such tactics as
exhibited in the Denver case would
lead to the defamation of orphans
in a home when there is a short
age of provisions.
Here is a hint for Catholic So
cial workers. They are face to
face with a neo-paganism which
threatens to injure the race. to
impair its fecundity, and to instill
| demoralizing principles IN the ris-
ing generation. France practieed
revolving form of birth control,
| and in the hour of her trial
| against large-family nation she
required half the world to save
her from humiliation. With the
prevalence Of such an inhuman
doctrine among occidental races ii
does not call for prophetic vision
of high order to read into the
future when the hordes OF the
| Orient will sweep away a degen
crate civilization. Besides all this
there will remain the terrible
Judgment Of Oman, and the viola
ton of the command to increase
and multiply.

Is IT HosPITABLE?

There arrived recently on our
shores most distinguished man.
He holds a world reputation as a
healer of human beings. For
many years a visit to him in his
native Vienna has been consider
ed by not a few Americans as a
part of their trip abroad. He is
DIR. Lorenz, the most noted bone
in the medical world.
Some eighteen years ago, Lolita,
the young daughter of the million
aire packer, Armour, suffered
from a hip disease. Physicians
both here and abroad had tried in
vain to cure the child. Finally, DR..
Lorenz was summoned to Chicago
to treat the little girl. He sue
ceeded in effecting a complete
cure, and to-day the young heiress
owes her health and perhaps her
life to the skilful Austrian physi-
clan.
During the past few years Am
erica has poured out her bounty
to alleviate suffering in Austria.
Grateful for this generosity, DR..
Lorenz came here to treat free of
charge as many cripples as pos
sible. He has given of his time
and science as small token of
his thankful spirit towards the
benefactors of his country.
A storm Of protest has been
aroused in certain quarters against
the kindly old man. He has been
told that he must take out state
license here and there; that he is
not wanted; that his ministrations
have an Interior purpose, etc, ad
nauseam. All this is a serious re-
Election ON the American reputa-
ton for hospitality and broad
mindedness. Is it because he is an
Austrian? Fritz Kreisler also was
All Austrian, an officer in the army
of our late enemies, and yet he
was received generously. Is a
healer of men of less value to the
nation than an artist on the VIC
lin? Certain members of the medi-
cal profession here might do well
to learn from DR.. Lorenz rather
than to exhibit pettiness that i'll
becomes a professional man and
that places a stigma upon the well
known and respected, the well
earned title that as a nation we
possess for hospitality.
