- PROTESTANTISH IN FUROPE IN DANGER Need of Help by American Churches Is Noted By The Associated Press. Columbus, 0., Dec. 14.—American churches must go to the aid of Euro- peas protestantism or it will crum- bie, the Rev. Dr. Charles S. MacFar- land, general secretary of the Federal Council of Churches, declared in an wddress today at the annual meeting ¥ the executive committee of the or- ganization. “Every dispatch,” he said, “tells of growing famine and of the closing through poverty of evangelical insti-| tutions of benevolence and education. | General despair exists. “Only united efforts on the part of all the American churches working side by side in a common cause can keep the whole fabric of Kuropean protestantism from ecrumbling. The foundations are strong, for they are founded on the gospel itself, but the superstructure, the painful, construc- tive labor of several centuries is in danger of collapse. In Continental rope “One of the most important pieces of work the federal council of churches has done has been the help it has given in the federating of the evangelical churches of continental Europe. “HEvery dispatch from Europe brings depressing and disheartening details of the growing famine which has followed in the wake of the World war, It is the Protestant ele- ment, which is suffering most acutely from this widespread distress, It is in the gravest danger of extinction in the great wave of economic disaster which has engulfed central Europe. “Phe European churches in the countries not so immediately affected by the ecempmic depression are striv- ing gallantly what they ont of the but they themselves are too weak or too poor to plish the required resuits in spite of the most heroic self-sacrifice. “Only America lags far behind. “What is needed now, and needed at once, is a practical expression of brotherly love A campalgn has bheen launched to ise about $1,500,- 000 for a general program of relief, This eampaign is a challenge to Am- erican Christians—we must not fail” INS.

Paris, Dec. 14.—Progress in set- fling the difficult problem of the treatment of the German minorities in Poland was made by the council of the league of nations today. Every country in Europe which numbers minority peoples among its popula- tion is watching to see how the, league disposes of this question, as| the action taken will serve as a| precedent, - Poland was charged with expro- priating the lands of German colo- | nists without compensation, and diffi- culties also arose concerning the ac- quisition of Polish nationality = by non-Polish peoples, chiefly German, within the borders of the re-estab- |lished country. Constantine Skirmunt, speaking for| the Warsaw government, told the council that Poland desired a solution which, without destroying the Polish viewpoint, would reinforce the au- thority of the league. It was decided that Peland should endeavor to resume her negotiations with Germany over the nationality question, while a sub-committee of the council will attempt to find an equitable solution of the general rights of the colonists. Similariy nj special commission of experts will| strive to settle the problem arising| out of the establishment by Poland of | a military depot which it has been charged is too near the free city of Danzig.

He was in the jail less than two days when he at- tempted suicide by shoving a stick down his throat and cutting his ab- domen with its sharp edges. The stick was one used to open and close windows in the jail. Death is reported by Dr. Costello to have occurred “during a mania of excitement.” The actual suicide attempt is said not to have resulted very seriously, al- though he was taken to the prison hospital, but here he developed an acute nervous condition and heart trouble. He was declared insane and sent to the Hartford retreat where he died the next day. “Acute psychosis and acute cardiac dilation” are given as the cause of death, although neither the county sheriff, the medical inspector of Hart- ford nor the coroner would discuss the matter today. Coroner Calhoun stated that it had not been reported to him. Dr. Costello, the Hartford medical inspector and Sheriff Dewey, who has charge of the jail, were “too busy” to talk when called for infor- mation.
