CATHOLIC VICTORY WON KOX-SECI'ARIAX INSTRUCTION BAVARIAN SCHOOLS ENDS. IN Finn Knuehl From Start by Clericals Finally Is Abandoned. According; to I :.!( Approved by Kins;. MUNICH. Aug. 15. Bavaria's brief permittance of non-sectarian reilglous Instruction has ended, according; to an edict issued by the Minister of Educa tion, with the approval of the King. The result is a complete victory for the dominant clerical party, which from the start strongly resisted any change Id the old order of things. I'pon the demand of Bavarian lib erals, non-sectarian instruction wa permitted in a limited number of schools attended larger' by the chil dren of dissenting or free-thinking parents. The Catholics opposed it from the first. In the meeting of the upper chamber of the kingdom, at which the Minister of Education announced his decision to revoke the permission for non-sectarian teaching, the spokesman of the clericals declared that there could be no sucli thing as an unregulated free dom of conscience. To require that children receive religious instruction approved by the state was no violation of the religious liberty guaranteed by the constitution, even if this instruc tion did not correspond with the belief of their free-thinking parents. Minister von Knilling, of the Depart ment of Education, said an investiga tion of the schools where non-sectarian teaching had been permitted showed that this instruction was in direct con flict with the religious and moral prin ciples upon which the Catholics aver the state must insist for its schools. ARMY STUDENTS WILD ENGLISH TRAINING SCHOOL. SCENE OF MUCH TROUBLE RECENTLY. Some larga French Insurance companies keep records of the teeth of their clients to Insure identification after death. Two Expelled and Many Suspended, Re quiring; Prohibition to Be Placed on Amusements. LONDON, Aug. 15. Breaches of dis cipline at the British military school at Sandhurst, which Is the West Point of the British army, have been so nu merous lately that General Sir Charles Douglas, chief of the Imperial General Staff, who recently inspected the school, sharply reminded the students that they were not merely public school stu dents but officers of the British army. During the past year there have been two expulsions and a greater number of suspensions than ever before. In contrast with the strict discipline which is understood here to be enforced at the American military establishment on the Hudson, the student fun and es capades at Sandhurst are as common and as turbulent as at the public schools or average American college. The local picture palace and a theater were recently put out of bounds at Sandhurst on account of the rough be havior of the students, and the most popular hotel there has suffered the same prohibition. According to the newspapers, hazing has been unusually frequent. Mock funerals are sometimes awarded to popular men when they are sepa rated from the institution. One cadet was given a funeral with full military honors, the "corpse'" driving to the sta tion in a cab with his riding boots hung reversed across the charger in the shafts. "Radium banks" have been established In a few European cities. These banKs possess a few milligrams of radium. They lend their radium for one day for $"00 for surgical or other use. Radium sales, it Is said, mav be repeatedly used without losing any of their properties. DYES TO BE MADE HERE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WAR. Americans Plan to Supply Demands of Fabric Mills That Usually Rely on Germany for Material. NEW YORK, Aug. 17. American manufacturers of chemicals are plan ning to take advantage of the present scarcity of foreign dyes and the prob ability that the war will prevent ship ments from Germany for a long period by providing for all the requirements of American factories and later ex tending their campaign to other coun tries. This will prevent a general closing of fabric mills because cf the shutting off of the supply of dyes. Wiiliam M. Jol nson, a director of thej General Chemical Company, who re turned not long ago from a trip to Europe, made a statement in which he said that the reason the great chem ical concerns of this country have not mads dyes is because German chem ists have specialised in this branch of work for many years and have reached such a state of perfection that they can separate coal tar into nearly a score of different dyes and can do so at such a low cost that competition was unprofitable. "Because the low cost has made Ger man dyes in demand in this country a belief has arisen that American chem ists cannot make as beautiful dyes as the Germans." said Mr. Johnson. "But they can. They have as many differ ent colors as the Germans, but they have simply been kept out of the mar ket because they could not meet the foreign prices. I believe that In a very short time American dyes equal In every way to those made in Germany will be on the market here. Manufac turers will probably have to pay more for them than for the German prod uct, but If It comes to a question of paying a higher price or closing the fabric mills they will probshly pay the higher price." Mr. Johnson said that he did not be lieve t..e American chemical companies would sit Idle and wait for the Ger man factories to reopen and fill orders from this country. Ha thought that an American-made supply would be forthcoming In a very short time and that the dye Industry of this country would advance rapidly. "There Is no great mystery about making dyes." said Mr. Johnson "American chemical manufacturers have any number of chemists able to devise ways of producing the coal tar dyes. "All the machinery required can be made in this country and the ma chinery manufacturers are not more likely to lose the opportunity pre sented than aro the chemists. It Is altogether probable that whan the present supply ii exhausted the American-made product will be turned out in a sufficient qusntlty to keep the great mills uf the cocr.trj go.ug."
