SERMON ON NEGROF ting Talk Given at St. Mary's Church Yesterday Hnter: The Catholic board for mission work lamong the colored people was organ- ized by the archbishops of the United States in 1907. They appointed Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke of New Yark director general, to extend and support the missions throughout the south. The energies of the board have been directed largely toward the schools. At the present time there are 1 parishs among the colored people of the south and the number being increased by about seven new ones every year. Owing to many causes there are onjy about one third of the colored children of school age in school at all and most of these for not more than four or five months each year. It is the aim of the board to increase the Catholic school facilities for such chil- dren as would otherwisc not obtain | any education. Mother Catherine Drexel, one of the ! Philadelphia banker’s family, has been the largest Catholic contributor to the hegro development. She alone has ziven to this work over $100.000 every ar for thirty-three years. She found- an order of nuns who devote their lives to the education of negroes and (ndians alone. There arc now probably 000 Catholic negroes and the number 13 increasing quite rapidly. | Rev.

Principal Consideration. The principal consideration United States now is that there shall be an acknowledgment by Germany that the sinking of an unresisting rier- chantman without warning is in con- travention of international law ard that such naval warfare shall be per- manently discontinued. The German contention is that such assurances al ready have been given in the Arahic case and that all that remains in the Lusitania case is reparation for the | lives of neutrals and an acknowledg- ment that it was wrong te destroy them This latter is contained in the Ger- man proposal as at present framed without the specific use of the word “illegal.” Text of Bernstorfi’s Note. full text of Count Von storff’s note, delivered to Lansing on September 1, 191 follows: My Dear Secretary: With reference to our conversation of this morning, I beg to inform you that my instruc- tions concerning our answer to your last Lusitania note contain the fol- lowing passage: “Liners will not be sunk by our sub- marines without warning, and with- out safety of the lives of non-com- batantg, provided that the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance. “Although I know you do not wish to discuss the Lusitania question till the Arabic incident has been definitely and satisfactorily settled, I desire to inform you of the above because this policy of my government was decided on before the Arabic incident oc- curred. “I have no objections to your mak- ing any use you please of the abc information “I remain, “Very of the The Borr- Secretary 1 5, was as | dear Mr. Lansing sincerely your: “J.
