In which their plane was damaged.

BALTIMORE, February Central
ization of government is one of the
most dangerous tendencies of the pres

as possible, declared United States Com
missioner j. Frank Supplee, speaking
before the Civitan Club yesterday. He
cited the fifteenth, eighteenth and twen-

He said they have many advantages, but
warned that they increased Federal
supervision and weakened the moral re-
sponsibility of communities.
'All government" declared Commits
sioner Supplee. "is experimental He
said that the eighteenth amendment has
created three classes of persons. There
are those who regard it as a hated in
terferense of their rights. There are
those who regard it as an abomination
Finally, he pointed out, there are those
who regard it as good thing and a
great moral accomplishment. Il frankly
admit do not know what it is,' Conn
missioner Supplee said. Then he added
that he thought it eventually would
work great good in the United States. .

that carried diphtheria antitoxim into

counter winds much above 10 miles

traction of gold near the city were

Gently to the American Secretary of

that Senator Borah, who became a
bitter protagonist in anti French
sentiment, has now extended his in
transigeance to Italy"
Reviewing Mr.. Borah's arguments
in the Senate in favor of a strict
collectionfst policy, the editorial de-
scribes him as the embodiment of
american Yankee thrift" and adds
that the deplorable thing about il is
that Mr.. Borah seems to have the
majority of the people, and also both
houses of Congress, on his side.
But the Idea Nazionale finds con-
ISOLATION in the observation that
there is a strong intellectual elite

NEW YORK, February 7.-Letters
OF John D. Rockefeller, jr., who has
pledged 100000 to the fund to COM
plete the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, and the response of Bishop
William L. Manning accepting the
gift were made public yesterday.
Mr.. Rockefeller suggested that
since "a large minority of the funds
have come from members of other
churches. 1t would seem but fitting
that this large, friendly outside in
terest should be represented among
the 25 trustees, who will be respon-
slble for the erection. maintenance
and management of the cathedral.
In his reply Bishop Manning said
that although he shared the hope of
Mr.. Rock efeller in regard to greater
cooperation among denominations"
the time has, however not yet ar
rived when the different churches can
function in one organization, and any
attempt prematurely to- force such
an arrangement would retard the
cause of unity rather than aid it."
This closer fellowship" the
Bishops letter continued, must come
to pass. as it Is quite evidently COM
ing to pass, through the working of
the spirit of God in the hearts and
minds of all of us alike, rather than
through formal methods of organiza-
tfon."
