0. JESUITS MAY HALT FIGHT UPON ROTARY International President of Club Explains Creed to Edi- tor of Catholic Review. BY CARROLL BINDER. @ s By Radio fo The Star_and Chicaso Daily ROME, February 15.—There is a pos- sibility that the long and bitter cam- paign of certain Catholic elements, notably the Jesuits, against the Rotary Club movement may be suspended, it was learned authoritatively yesterday. I. B. Sutton, president of the Rotary International, accompanied by Com- mendatore Rannelletti, secretary of the Rome Rotary, and by the secretary of the Genoa Rotary, has just had a long interview with Father Enrico Rosa. of the Society of Jesus, who is editor-in- chief of the influential Jesuit review, Civilta Cattolica. This journal, for several years, has been publishing articles against Rotary on the grounds of its aleged Masonic and Protestant character and aims. These articles have been reproduced throughout the Catholic press, including the Vatican organ, Osservatore Romano, for the joint pur- pose of attacking Rotary and keeping Catholics out of the organization. Mr. Sutton and his two Italian colleagues told Father Rosa that they themselves were Catholics and that Rotary included many Catholics, in- cluding important Roman ecclesiastics. They denied any affiliations, direct or Mussolini Writes, Pope Edits, Titles On Vatican Movies By the Associated Press. ROME, February 15.—The cap- tions and subtitles on the motion picture news recls which were taken at the signing of the Italo- Vatican treaty and at the anni- versary ceremony at St. Peter's were written by Premier Musso- 1lini himself. The reels were submitted to Il Duce after they were developed, and he then personally undertook the task of writing the explana- tory matter. They are now being submitted to the Pope. CHINESE REBELS MAY ENGAGE FLEEING TROOPS Battle Believed Imminent Near Fushanhsien—Missionary Women Leaving Hwanghsien. By the Associated Press. CHEFOO, China, February 15.—Re- volting Nationalist soldiers at Lunkow, Shantung, have driven loyal troops eastward and probably will meet them in battle near Fushanhsien, 6 miles west of Chefoo. Meanwhile communications with Hwanghsien and Tengchowfu have been severed, although conditions were reported quiet in both cities. The mis- sionary women at Hwanghsien have been evacuated to Chefoo, the men re- maining, while both men and women remained at Tengchowfu. The United States consul at Chefoo, Leroy Webber, offered to mediate be- tween the opposing forces, but has re- ceived no reply. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON, February 15—Terrific ex- plosions of sewer gas in the heart of the downtown shopping district which sent street paving, manhole covers and shattered plate glass hurtling into the air injured 40 persons late yesterdav. Thousands of home-going commuters escaped in a wild dash for subway en- trances. More ‘than a score were given emer- gency treatment at hospitals. Four explosions followed in succession in the vicinity of Chauncey and Sum- mer streets. Fire raced along under- ground conduits. Firemen with gas masks attacked the flames roaring from the manholes. One man standing on a manhole cover was hurled through a plate glass window, but escaped with a shaking up. Police cttributed the explosions o a short circuit of electric power conduits. Snow and ice had sealed the vents in the covers, which ordinarily permitted gases to escape. Tiniest Church Found. England’s tiniest church has been found at Culbone. It is only 30 feet long and 12 feet wide. There is no pul- pit because of insufficient space. In | the church parish are only 30 people and the village has only two houses, o t)_)]nt at times the congregation is almost nil. A Misjudged Animal. The shrew is a tiny animal which is to be found in many parts of the world, but not in any great numbers anywhere i Fendgod and 1 kied on:signt greatly u an on sig] rsons who are familiar with the stitions surrounding it. This di- utive animal devours insects of all kinds and in this respect it is of great benefit to farmers in particular and mankind in general. In & book pub- lished in 1658 it i§ mentioned that the common shrew “is a ravening beast . . . 1t beareth a cruel mind, desiring to hurt everything; there is no creature that it loveth. They are fraudulent and take their prey by deceit and a lot more.” 1t as believed that the shrew poisoned cattle. In some country districts it is still thought that if one passes over the beast lameness is brought on. ‘The cure for this is a cruel one. A shrew 1§ captured, a hole is bored in an ash tree, and the live animal is pushed in. The entrance of the hole is sealed. When it is supposed that the shrew’s body is decayed sufficiently, the hole is opened, a twig inserted, and if this is passed over the lame part the man or beast is supposed to recover. It is diffi- stitlons are still observed in some of the distant country districts. WRECK SURVIVORS LAND.

They assured the Jesuit leader thai Rotary is a social and business organization enabling men of affairs to meet easily and profitably for mutual advancement and that it never engages in religious or political propaganda. Father Rosa informed this corre- spondent that he replied to Mr. Sutton and his colleagues: “I am pleased to hear your explanations. If they prove true, and I don’t question your honor, I am ready to publish a rectification in the Civilta Cattolica and to discontinue the attacks, which were not written by me, but by a colleague.” Civilta Cattolica will publish another erticle on Rotary in its forthcoming number, but this was written prior to the Sutton visit. Meantime, the declaration Wednes- day of the consistorial congregation concerning the “inexpediency” of mem- bership or attendance of bishops and priests at Rotary meetings has the force of a prohibition for the clergy. This body is the ministry of the interior of the Roman Church, regulating deputies of the bishops. The order was issued in response to an inquiry from the Spanish bishops, but it is binding throughout the Catholic world. It does not apply to the Catholic laity, how- ever, and Mr. Sutton may succeed in convincing the consistorial congregation of the desirability of withdrawing the instructions. silk foot and all-silk heel has been lowered in price!
