Modern Life Too Much
for Monks; They Retire

MUNICH, Dec. 31.-The whirl Of mod
ern life, exemplified BY automobile
horns, radio, telephones and electric
lights, is getting too much for the Trap
pist monks of Banz. ~Despairing of SCI
clusion in their present monastery near
Bamberg, they will soon withdraw to
remote parts Of the Bavarian mountains.
Several sites are under consideration,
one of them a mountain top where once
stood a baronial castle. Here it is felt
that the penitentia and silent days Of
the Trappist brothers could be passed
without disturbance.
