Catholic Purpose Explained.
The outstanding event of the after
noon vession was the address by
Father George Thompson, of the Church
of the Madeleine, who spoke on "The
Catholic School Children."
"Intellectual education must not be
separated from moral and religious
education, declared Father Thompson
after stating the reasons why the Cath
olics urge their children to attend the
parochial schools.
'The Catholic entertains no hostil
ity toward public schools," he said.
"Taking into account the mixed and
varied character of our people, he
knows they are doing a great work
which Is essentially needed and would
. vinernife os largely leu uiiuune. 1 1
is interested in their best development
and management, and he has no other
designs upon them than to make them
as democratic and efficient as condi
tions permit."
Father Thompson's address was
T. Foster, president of Reed College,
' presided.
Rev. Henry F. Cope, of Chicago, spoke
briefly of the North Dakota, the Col
, orado and the Cary plans. He praised
" teacher upon the lives of the children
" and sad. "I know of many publiic
. religious than many Sunday school
teachers."

-; steal the Sunday away from ten fam-
' lly. My friend, the religiouB training of
your children is not the responsibility
of the state, it is yours. It rests after
all in the home. Too much is expected
of the public schools.
Professor Norman F. Coleman de
clared that it is almost impossible to
s teach literature and not mention reli
Bion. Professor Wallace, of McMinn
vi lie College, said the fundamental
principles of religious life should be
put into all teaching.
Among the other speakers were Pro
feasor C A. Rushnell. president of Pa-
... citic University: Rev. John Alatnews,
of Seattle: Dr. E. O. Sisson, of Boise,
. and Father B. V. O Hira.
In the morning Dean H. M. Ramsey's
; address on the Gary plan was orte of
the outstanding events.
I Dr. J. H. Boyd, of the First Presby.
terian Church, discussed the paper, say
ing: "The Gary plan is going to find an
opponent in me. Any time the public
school Is going to take my child from
' 8 A. M. to 6 P. M. tm going to object."
Bible Study Credits Approved.
Superintendent Churchill told of the
ertdit system for the study of Old and
; New Testament in the public high
schools. Rabbi Wise objected, saying:
" "The plan would probably prove to be
'not worth a hill of beans.' "
Professor Latourette, of Reed College,
rpoke on "The Literary Study of the
Bible in High Schools." Superintendent
, Alderman and Professor James EV Ew
lng spoke briefly on the topic.

PROTEST IS GOING
Britain Blocks Shipments
to
Hospitals of Enemies.
TAFT REVEALS SITUATION
Permits Kefused Except to Ameri
can Vnitsof IXed Cross, Which.
Have Been Abandoned for
Iiack: of Funds.
WASHINGTON, May 11. The Amer
ican Government is preparing to pro
test to Great Britain against its policy
of refusing to allow the shipment of
hospital supplies by the American Red
Cross to Germany and her allies. Sec
retary Lansing received a letter today
from ex-President Taft, chairman of
the central committee of the Red Cross,
urging such action, and it was learned
tonight that the matter would be taken
up with the British government In the
near future.
Mr. Taft's ltter revealed for the
first time that Great Britain formally
had declined toUssue permits for ship
ments of supplies to the central powers
except when intended for American
hospital units. This exception, Mr. Taft
wrote, was worthless because on ac
count of lack of funds the Red Cross
had maintained no units in the bellig
erent countries since last October.
The Red Cross considers the attitude
of the British government in violation
of the Geneva convention and holds that
the American Government has the right
to Insist on observance of the treaty.
Mr. Taft expressed the hope that the
British position was based upon an
erroneous belief that the central pow
ers had failed to agree to a reciprocal
course in the treatment of articles for
the sick and wounded.
British Son Cause Delay.
"Since the beginning of the present
war," the letter said, "the American
Red Cross has invited contributions of
money and supplies with which to aid
the wounded and suffering of all the
belligerents. We have shipped to the
Red Cross societies of each belligerent
hospital, supplies contributed to us for
that purpose, we nave lound no aim
culty in sending such articles to the
entente allies. We have had to obtain
permits from Great Britain for the
shipments to the Red Cross of the cen
tral powers. Until September, 1915.
there was substantially no delay in
the granting of these permits by Great
Britain. Since that time we have had
much difficulty in securing the per
mlts. and the supplies designated for
the use of the central powers have ac
cumulated in our warehouse in Brook
lyn. ' A permit was granted for only
one shipment since that time in Jan
uary of this year.
"Through your department we are
now in receipt of a communication from
the British government announcing
that it does not intend to permit any
further shipment,, unless it is a ship
ment to our own hospital units.
Germany Aarrees to Reciprocity.
"We are now in receipt of a 'com
munication from your department, in
closing a dispatch from the British
Government in which it deQnitely
withdraws its consent for the ship
ment of such articles by the American
Red Cross, and thus in effect announces
its purpose to treat them as contra
band of war. . The reason as given by
the British government for this con
elusion in the dispatch of March 22 is
that while it bad consented to exempt
from treatment as contraband of war
articles serving exclusively to aid the
sick and wounded, nine months had
passed since that communication and
no definite communication had been re
ceived from the German. Austrian or
Turkish governments on the subject of
these lists.
"In view of the fact that the Ger
man government did consent to a re
ciprocal course on October IS, 1915
and that fact was communicated to the
British Foreign Office, we venture to
hope that the conclusion of the British
government was based on a misconcep'
tion."
$200,000 IN TAXES TIED UP
Coos Connty Proposes to Take Ac

x MARSH FIELD, Or.. May 11. (Spe
cial.) Judge O. F. Skipworth has ad
vised District Attorney L. A. Lilje
qvist he will be" in Coos County within

DealcrH Are Told.
LOUISVILLK. Ky May 11. Mem
bers of the National Wholesale Liquor
Healers' Association of America held
the final session of their, annual, con
vention Jiere today. i
E. Mark Sullivan, of Boston. ex-Dls-!
trict Attorney, speaking on the sub
ject. "The Faddism of Over-Legislation."
declared that National and state
prohibition is but one of the fads of
the present day tendency toward over
legislation and over-administration.
"Prohibition is not what the people
want." Mr. Sullivan continued. "It is
reform of the linuor business among the
retailers, who must eliminate those
who are guilty of cupidity and un
scupulousness, before the people will
be satisfied."
Joseph DeBar, of Cincinnati, was
chosen president and Edwin V. Dough
erty, of Philadelphia,, was re-elected
treasurer.
The resolutions affirm an unalterable
determination to enforce obedience to
law as well as to conduct every branch
of the Industry "in strict accord with
the best thought and most advanced
standards of the times": declare Na
tional prohibition would inaugurate an
era of proscriptive legislation and re
cite that true temperance is achieved
only by the exercise of self control.
