French Catholics
Parade in Protest
Govt. "PersecutiOn"

Paris, March S.-The silent
marching of thousands of Catholics
in protest against what they call the
governments policy of religious
persecution" has given added signi-
ficance to the traditional Sunday po-
litical meetings in France.
The Catholic demonstrators have
been marching every Sunday for d
number of weeks, particular in
Brittany, Normandy and Alsace.
They gather in great numbers
sometimes from fifty to sixty thou
sand-bringing th''r food with
them. They parade in absolute sill
ence from church to building from
which the bishop or other church
dignitary addresses them.
This show of strength has caused
an uproar among the anti-clerical
deputies, but the demonstrations are
continuing, pains being taken TO
avoid any disorder.

Paris, March s (By A. P.)-The
twenty-four hours that have passed
since the conversations between
Premier Herriot and Austen Cham
berlain, the British secretary for for
eign affairs, on the subject Of secur-
ity have not brought any important
addition to what has already been
made public on the subject discussed
The British side, apparently NOV
ed by the details given out to the
French press and published this
morning, gave out some intimations
for the benefit Of the British press
which for the most part are confirm
atory Of the French version.
One new and interesting point dis
closed is that when NJ Herriot in
sisted that the purposed five or sew
en- power act, if formed. should not
diminish the period Of allied occupa-
ton of the Rhineland and that it
should respect article A of the
league covenant. whereby infractions
of the demilitarization aggression
against the Signatories of the treaty
Mr.. chamberlain was dDle 10 redS
sure NJ Herriot, explaining that Herr
Stresemann, German foreign secre-
tary, in response to the British in
quiry, had declared. in making his
security pact proposal, that he did
not expect reduction in the periods
Of occupation.
Undoubtedly the question Of Ger
many's eastern frontiers is the main
stumbling block. NJ. Herriot said
that France would respect the terms
Of her treaty with Poland and that
any plan which looked like purchas-
ing French security at Poland's ex-
penses was unthinkable to French
opinion, which was always opposed
to giving Germany an inch in the d.
rection of revision of the treaty OF
Versailles for fear she would take
all.
President Doumergue is understood
to have expressed the same view to
Mr.. Chamberlain. At the same time
Premier Herriot showed himself
ready to counsel Poland to take a
commonsense view of the situation
and to use his good Offices toward
achievement of a compromise be-
tween Poland's insistence on the ter
ritorial status quo and Germany's
hostility to what she considers an
untcnable eastern boundary.

Lack of Finances
Forces Closing of
Hobo College in N. Y.

New York, March S.-Hobo Col
lege- on-the -Bouwerie has vanished
from the earth. Premature gradual
ton exercises of all undergrad
yates attending the institution were
demanded, and obtained, by an irate
landlord calling for his rent.
Following, a hasty inventory Of the
unearned increment in the college
safe, the dean, Bluebeard, announc-
ed a total of Sc cents. An equally
hosty trip was made to the postoffice
in search of a possible letter from
J. Eads Howe, millionaire hobo"
and angel of Hobo College. But
there was no letter. And Glue
beard pronounced impromptu grad
uation exercises, last night.
The Sc cents furnished the means
of final spread of ''mulligan stew
before the graduates left for parts
unknown. They all expressed salts
faction with the practical quality of
their education, which stressed
manly courses in geography dealing
with the location of friendly house
wives and in lower mathematics and
