LONDON. Nov. 12. -(Special to The lien.)
- This great metropolis hns a problem to
settle, one that 1 giving the authorities
much thought, not to tpeak of worry.
There Is an army of touchers Idle, not
private Instructors, hut teachers . trained
for the profession. The sad npectaele of
M clamoring for work recently presented
at the county hall will long be remembered.
In thia connection It may be stated that
there are 13.000 children who are unable to
tset accommodation In the schools. Kng
h.nd' has money for battleships, but -won
t pay teachcra who would gladly go to
work If they could.
A discussion on the queatlou took place
a l the meeting of the county council. Prior
to the meeting between 400 and 600 unem
ployed teachers assembled cutnlde the hall
mid endeavored to hold a protest meeting,
but thia the police prevented.
George Lannbury moved that the esti
mate for teachers' salaries be referred back
to enable the finance committee to bring up
revised estimates making provision for re
ducing closes and thus finding work of
unemployed teachers. The council had on
Its doorsteps hundreds of people Whom they
had trained and for whom they had no
employment.
Awed Clerka Win Out.
' At the last meeting fit the city council
the finance committee recommended that
temporary clerks over 45 years old should
not be put on the permanent staff. A de
viate followed and the proposed age limit
mas lost.
Several members demanded to know If It
was an offense punishable by enforced Idle
ness for a man to be over 45 years old. A
rule of the kind would be a premium on
Idleness a well as' a- punishment- -.,,..

N It is definitely settled that the king and

Incidentally their met tins til ings out the
fact that the pope Is a Kretu lover of
healthy outdoor yporta ami that when a
boy and a youth, too. he excelled as a
runner and a swimmer. A story 'ist
plimved the pontiff Immensely was told of
the altnr boys of St. Francis Xavier's
church In lirookljn. N. Y. The youngsters.
who are a numerous body, have tivo foot

kinds of athletic cliilm. While th" cardinal

wa visited by a delegation of the bo s.
who announced that they had elected him i
protector of their clubs, whhti position !, !
of course, purely honorary. He told the '
lads that he would tell the pope about
what they were doing to build themselves
up by field sports. The pope listened with
much Interest to the narrative about the j
youngsters and tald he wished the boys of
thia country would follow their example
Pope m Lover of Athletics.
Pope Pius, hi stated, Is a lover of clean
athletic sports of all kinds. There uie
many athletic organizations composed of
Catholic young men in this city. On one
occasion, about a year ago, l.ooo of the
members Joined In a tournament. Just be
fore the Journey began the holy father
delegated one of his household clern:- to
tell the young men that they had hi:- bless
ing. One of his photographers photo
graphed the array as they were drawn up
on the field and he has a copy of the
picture among his personal possessions.
Every now and again permission Is
given lomii cf the Catholic foot ball
players to play In the papal grounds.
And whenever this happens the pope goes
to a quiet corner out of range to see
them at the game. He has been known
to show his enthusiasm by hand clapping
a good play. One of the conditions upon
which he gives leave for the use of the
grounds is that there shall be no rough
play nor massing that might result In the
Injury tonny of the teams.. I'referejjue
la given to working boys and grown up
school boy.
When the pope was a young country
priest he waa noted aa a walker; he was
accustomed to walk twenty and thirty
miles a day on pastoral work, for his
parish was a big one. Even when pro
moted and long after he had reached the
rank of bishop he continued his walks.
He might have traveled In state, but he
preferred to Jog along country mads. To
his outdoor exercise he attributes his
vigor, which remains with him, although
he is now an old man. When patriarch
of Venice the pope frequently Indulged
In cross-country walks. '
Mayor Nathan's Speech Execrated.
Tho speech which the mayor, Ernest
Nathan, made attacking tha Catholic
church and the pope wan read all over
the world. That it produced a sense of
insult not only to Catholics, but also to
non-Catholics, soon became evident. Pro
tests have come in from every part of
the world, and thia universal note of
sympathy with tUe pope under these In
solent outrages of the mayor of Rome
was gratifying to hint. Perhaps, how
ever, the moat gratifying of all these
protests were those sent to him the other
day by the Intermediary of Archbishop
John M. Farley of New York and tha
most Rev. Dlomede Falconto, apostolic
delegate in the United States.

Drama of Misused Authority.
Within three days of the fourth anni
versary of the immortal exploit of the
spurious captain, Koepenlck has been once
more shaken out of its suburban repose by
a strange drama of misused authority. In
this case insanity and not crime was the
actuating force.
For forty-five years Wilhelm Doerdel,
station master at Koenpenick, has per
formed faithful services on the state rail
ways, but a few weeks ago his health broke
down, and his doctor ordered him to rest,
but he reappeared at the station and re
sumed control. His subordinates now re
member that tils manner was strange and
his orders a little perplexing. Towards
midnight, however, Doerdel, who had re
tired to rest, emerged from his residence,
m perfectly attired, and wandered restlessly
about the station till he found a ticket
collector, whom he at once aet to abusing
with great vehemance. One by one he
tackled all his subordinates and told them
that as soon aa ho had taken tha steps
necessary to counteract their treachery
he Intended to commit his complaint to
paper and forward It lo the emperor.
Th staff was at first noniJused, but It
gradually dawned upon them that their
chief had tulcen leave of his senses, and
they n. ado cffJi'U to induce him to retire
to bed.
Their persuasions, however, only height
ened his mania, and the situation became
really grave when he began to rush about
the lines, shouting crary orders, which he
declared a ere necessary to remove the
disorder In the traffic occasioned by the
strike.
Fortunately, a police sergesnt who hap
pened to be at hand, possessed not only
presence of mind, but ulo Ingenuity. Pro
curing a sheet of fool map paper, he ap
proached the .demented station manter and
urged upon him the necessity of drawing up
a report on the strike fur the emperor be
fore the movement had spread further.
At the same time, he pointed nut that the
place where he would be least likely to be
disturbed in his work by the molestations
of the strikers would undoubtedly be the
town hall. The station master fell Into
tilts tra and allowed hi rself to be con
ducted thither. Though he calmed down
it has been found necessary to, consign him
to an asylum.

dress on tho subject, saying in part:
The Irish railways as at present admin
j istered are a stumbling block to Irish
progress. Any one who had any practical
! experience of the working of the Hystcm
1 would admit that. If the companies guve
the Irish traders the coiiccsmIoiis they de
served they would have their trains full,
instead of running half empty, as they see
them at present. Let them consider the
position and qualifications of the members
of tho commission who t-lgned the majority
reptirt favoring governmem
ownership.
There was the chairman. Sir Charier Scot-
Ul. W11S .SJ u, t.ha.man of ar.
i.;I1Kini, company with a mileage larger
ttmn all the railways In Ireland. Mir
Charles could not be taid to be prejudiced
In favor of Ireland, yet he held that state
purchase was the only solution of ' the
difficulty. Then there was Lord Pierre,
who had vast experience In industrial mat
ters; there was Colonel Hutchenson Foe,
a landlord, and Thomas Sexton, who ought
to know something about the requirements
of Ireland. On the other hand, they had
Mr. Asplnall, Mr. Acwurth, the representa
tive of the Hoard of Trade, whom they
I could safely pass over. The four men who
were responsible for the majority report!01
were, a" fur as strength was concerned, by
far the strongest wide of the commission.
No alternative solution to their proposal
nitu neen proposed, ana Ills experience was
that if their proposal were adopted It
would lead to an Immediate expansion of
Irish trade.
- The plan to nationalize tha railroads ot
this country Is not taken bo enthusias
tically because of a fear in some parta that
an increase of taxation would follow pur
chase of the roads by the government.

COXBTANTINOl-lj-. Nov. 11 (Special
to The Bee.) The Tanln states that
the government will grant Nabl Bey,
the Ottoman minister at Athens, who
has been here for tne last two months,
unlimited leave. It adds that this may be
regarded as the first step towards a defi
nite rupture of diplomatic relations with
Greece. Official circles hav not denied
that this statement is likely to be well
founded. Tli Committee of I'nlon and

that the appointment of a person who Is
looked upon by the Turks in th "same

Justifies what may be described as the

PARIS, Nov. 12. (Special to The Bee. I
Oevout French Catholics who revere the
memory of Christopher Columbus ore urg
ins the pope to canonize the greut dis
coverer of the American continent. The
proposition was broached many years ago.
Hut those who supported this movement
met with rilmost Insurmountable difficul
ties, for the required condition could not
he found in the life of Columbus. The con
ditions are that one must always have led
a saintly life and performed at least two
miracles. Mesides the cause of the person
proposed for canonisation must he
presented by a bishop living where the
proposed saint lived, or In the piece where
he was burled. Now, there was no Ameri
can 'bishop when Columbus discovered the
country.
It Is not probable that the advocates of
canonization will succeed; both churchmen
and Influential laymen are opposed. no
lne mosl -nnuenuai opponents ol w.e
proposed idea is n professor in tne semi
nary of Rome. Abbe 8anguinetl, In the
two pamphlets he wrote, says there was
an event in the life of Columbus which was
a violation of the laws of the church and
a violation of civil laws.
Hnllrontl Strike 111 Advised.
The railway strike was an ugly event,
and its significance Is not destroyed by Its
sudden and ignominious collapse. The
movement was spasmodic. Ill-considered
nd.ill-organied. Apparently the strikers
did not quite mean business this time. They
went out in "a hurry, with no Idea of a
fight to the finish.
Some men who have gone into the causes
of the trouble think the government erred
In calling some of the striker to serve in
the army during the strike." ' "
They" say the policy of the government
!n that respect supplied violent soclollsts
with , an almost unanswerable argument
that the army was an Instrument for their
enslavement. Henceforth socialists will de
vote themselves w!th redoubled energy to
teaching the soldier that the state has no
right to employ him against his own com
rades, that his military service Is given for
the protection of his country against for
eign enemies, not for the protection, of, na
tive employers against demands of native
workmen. The anti-military spirit Is strong
enough in the republic already without
such Incentives as have now been admin
istered to It.,
Aeroplanes In War.
Two military experts have written inter
esting articles concerning the employment
of aeroplanes In war. The first of these
deals with experiments made by officers
of Chalals-Meudon Is destroying dirigibles.
The method employed was to drop arrows,
each containing a small explosive charge,
which burst on coming In contact with the
envelope of the balloon, setting ft to the
gas. A number of small captive balloons
were secured round the Eiffel tower and
the arrows were dropped on them by hand
from the first stage.' In every case the
arrows exploded, destroying the balloons.
The Idea Is that an aeroplane or a dlr'gl
ble with superior speed shall get above the
enemy's dirigible and drop the arrows
upon 11.
The other article begins by pointing out
that aeroplanes have made flights of sixty
miles, carrying two passengers. If It Is pos
sible to do this, therefore it would be
equally possible for the aviator to carry
a quantity of ammunition equal to the
weight of two passengers. JThe writer also
calculates that in attacking troops In
masses, at least one ballet In a hundred
should be effective, so that each flight of
the aeroplane would mean 100 men killed
or wounded.
Uulc-hard on Anarchists.
Very Instructive Is the explanation of th
present position of the anarchists In France
given by M. G.ulchard, the official who I
at th head of the police department, which
devote special attention to their move
ments. M. Gulchard, who has full knowl
edge of the subject and wide experience,
says that anarchists of the Valllant and
Ravachol type are disappearing. The an
archists have, as a rule, given up th
bomb and become past mailers in the
willful destruction of property.
M. Gulchard says: "We have In Parts a
great number of these malefactors from
every nation, but the majority are rerta'nlv
Russian and Polish Jews. They ar most
to be dreaded."
