GENEVA. September 9.-The league
of nations. 1t is generally conceded,
will not interfere in Asia Minor af-
fairs unless for the protection of
minorities after the governments
have fixed peace terms between the
Greeks and Turks.
Tho first phase of the third as
sembly of the league ended today
with the close Of the general debate
on the councils work without giving
any indication as to what the as
sembly may do. The tone of the
speeches. including those Of the lead
ers. such as Lord Robert Cecil, the
Earl Of Balfour and M. Hanotaux,
tended to show they were con-
vinced that the league at the present
was unable to make much progress
in any direction other than toward
what is called moral disarmament
Would Prepare Worlds Mind.
This will consist of the preparation
of the minds OF the people throughout
the world for abandonment of force
as a means of settlement in interna-
tional disputes. Lord Robert Cecil.
one of the most active Of league en-
thusiasts who have contended that
the league must go ahead and act on
all questions within tho scope of the
covenant. says frankly that under
present circumstances the league can
not do much but content itself with
what 1t can do, pending the time
when the political situation will al
low the government to look at dis
armament from a different angle than
today.
Leon Bourgeois and the Earl Of
Balfour, who have been in constant
consultation, argue that the world Is
not ready for the important work the
league was set up to do, and that the
present assembly must be steered
Earl of Balfour in the assembly de-
clared that the league cannot now
replace the government in interna-
tional affairs.
BalfOur Warns Delegates.
Lord Balfour warned the delegates
against too great expectations. A few
enthusiastic members, however, such
as NJ Motta and <Dr. Nansen, held
that the league ought to act with
ion of the delegates is that Lord
Roberts plan of continental agree
ments for the protection of frontiers
will be adopted and that plans will
be laid for other international con-
ferences and restriction of arms
traffic and the extension of the Wash
ington naval accord to members of
the league who were not represented
at Washington.
Beyond this little will be done ex-
cept for the protection OF minorities
in the territories that changed their
sovereignty and promotion of the
welfare of the populations in the
regions under mandate. The assem-
bly, will recess until the committee
What will not be done can be stated
with greater certainty. Germany
will not be admitted to the league
because Of French opposition and the
league will not intervene in Asia
Minor at the present time.

hearing Monday. federal agents said
that an effort would be made to
prove the existence Of nation-wioe

responsible by the government.
The evidence brought to Chicago
was said to contain thousands OF
kilograms, letters, photographs, blue
prints and books. together with tran
scripts of statements Of 1900 per-
sons who have been interrogated by
federal authorities.
The data was said by government
officials to reveal plots for the wreck

abling of locomotives. the causing OF
wrecks, the burning Of bridges and
the obstruction of the mail.

Gil Of Great Britain, body in whose
hands rests the welfare and progress
of Catholic education in general.
1t is only about a year ago that the
first Catholic chairman of the London

Gilbert, finished his term of Office, and

CATHOLIC DAUGHTERS WIN

TIE REMAINS CLEAR.

Supreme Court Justice Tompkins at
White Plains, n. Y, declared recently
that the Catholic Daughters of Amer
lea have right to their title, despite
the suit filed against them by the
state council of the Daughters of
America of New York. He ruled that
the names of the two organizations
were not so similar as to be calcu-
lated to deceive the public or cause
confusion. He said:
THE word Catholic in the defend
ants name clearly and Enthusiastically
distinguishes it from the plaintiffs
The plaintiff is a patriotic women's
society purely non-sectarian in char
acter, to which women of all creeds
and denominations are eligible, while
the defendant is a society to which
Catholic women alone are eligible,
and it seems to me that the word
Catholic in the defendants name and
used as a part of it's name in all it's
activities clearly distinguishes such
name from that of the plaintiff, and

ception or confusion resulting there

MICHIGAN SCHOOL FIGHT

down iif he Declaration sf ma4ps.4s
dence," Bishop Gallagher continued.
THE Declaration provides that all peo-
pie have the unalienable right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Such right cannot justly be denied,
withdrawn or impaired. 1t is one that
the citizen could not surrender even
if he wished to do so. When heresies
are preached against such fundamen-
tai American principles of govern
ment, it is the duty of Americans to
refute and reject these false theories.
1T is utterly false to assume the
majority rule decides the morality of
an issue. That such rule is the only
practical method of government in civ
ic and political affairs in a democracy
like the United States is conceded,
but there are limits beyond which the
majority cannot so without trespass.
1t cannot take away. fundamental
rights The Declaration of Indepen-
dence, in this respect, expressing
Catholic doctrine, holds that men have
right to happiness. But no nation
can be happy unless the individuals
are happy. But how can the individ-
ual be happy if he is compelled to
send his children to a school Of which
his conscience cannot approve?

Precautions are being taken by the
burgomeister of Oberammergau and
the committee in charge of prepara-

"profiteering" upon the thousands of
visitors who are expected to go there
next summer Already inquiries and
applications for tickets have been re.

who contemplate attending perform
ances of the play. These have come
from all countries of Europe and from
North and South America.
The sacred drama will be presented
from the latter part of May until the
middle of September. The definite an
nouncement of the resumption Of the
play after an intermission OF twelve
years, prompted many merchants, no
tel proprietors and spectators to lay
plans for exploiting visitors. The bur
gomeister's committee is taking meas
ures to disappoint these pirates.

STUDENTS IN GERMANY
MANY WOMEN STUDYING AT GER,
MAN COLLEGES, DESPITE
HARD TIMES.

Notwithstanding the serious eco
nomic conditions in Germany, the
number of students in the universities,
and especially the attendance of wom-
en-, is very large. There has been a
decrease compared with last year, but
the total is still quite high.
The number of women who have
undertaken the study of Protestant
theology has almost doubled in the
last two years. In 1920, there were
40 women matriculated in theology.
This year there are 72. The other
branches in which women are largely
represented, and the number study
ing in each case, are as follows: Law,
371; medicine, 2.013; dentistry, 319;
philosophy and philology, 5000; math.
ematics and natural science, 1,15e;
pharmacy, t47. and political economy,
1,212.
About 10000 students OF German
universities are now Obliged to work
at more or less menial tasks to sup
port themselves. A great number of
these are Catholics.

AMERICANS LACK THRIFT
SPEAKER TELLS US THEY DO IT
BETTER IN EUROPE, BEGIN
MING YOUNG.

Teach the American children thrift
and you will develop a higher stand

tions," said Mrs. Mary E. La Rocca,
delegate to the National Fraternal
congress- recently. Thrift is char
acter builder. 1t makes for better
morals and higher ideals"
Europe teaches it's children thrift
from the toddling age. Later they are
taught the related responsibilities of
life" Mrs. La Rocca continued. "ln
America where more happy conditions
obtain and where opportunities are
brighter there is a tendency toward
extravaganza and waste. This ten
dency may be found even among kim
dergarten children with their exces-
sive lollypop allowances, and it is
growing more and more conspicuous
among so-called 'fappers' of high
schools with their luxurious frocks
and silken hose.
''Nor is extravaganza the fault of
children. 1t is due largely to exam
rles set by parents. 1t is due to the
lack of proper teaching of thrift"

FOR GERMAN WELFARE
ASKS CATHOLICS AND PROTEST
ANTS TO COOPERATE,

From Prime Minister Stegerwald
has come a proposal that the Catho-
lies and the Protestants of Germany
cooperate through official organiza-
lions in the interest of religious peace
and material prosperity. aThe news
papers have received the proposal
with great sympathy
Speaking at the recent convention
of the workingmen's division of the
Center party, DR.. Stegerwald said that
confessional differences between Prot
estants and Catholics must be remov-
ed and all must work together. The
Protestants should unite themselves
on the same social and political ba-
sis as the Catholics, and then, having
formed an organization. could collab-
crate with the Catholics for the re.
generation of the country.

TO SANCTIFY THE OATH

unfortunately, in the administration of
law, the oath as taken in our law
courts has not only ceased to be eff
fective in the direction in which it
was intended, but has become by
word among those who are familiar
with legal procedure.
About a year ago, prominent
criminal lawyer in the west told me
that in his experience, 80 per cent of
the oaths that are taken in law courts
are perjury. He said to me: 'Tomor-
row am trying case. l see the line
of defense; l know who the witnesses
are, and | am convinced, and the
judge, from his experience, will know
before the appeal to the jury, that ev-
cry one Of those witnesses has sworn
falsely.
1--WE are all concerned with the
sanctity of the oath. We know it is
a sin to fake a false oath. 1t is only
by education, by developing the moral
sense, by making men, women and
children realize the sanctity of the
oath, that we can bring about a de-
sired change"
