; CARDINAL ASKS
PRAYERS FOR
IRISH PEOPLE
LONDON, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—Cardinal Bourne, in the
course of services at Westminster
cathedral in commemoration of the
H beautification of Oliver Plunket, who
suffered martyrdom at Tyburn in 1681,
made a special appeal for the prayers
* of the Catholics “for the prompt,
speedy, just and permanent settlement
of the destinies of the Irish people.”
“Never has the outlook appeared
more menacing than at the present
time,” the cardinal said. “Notwith
standing the amazing changes of the
last few years the future of Ireland
is now so clouded with anxieties, sor
row and perplexities that the whole
world is gazing at the portent, won
dering and aghast.
“We implore God, with the urgency
which our need must necessarily in
spire, to bring lasting harmony out of
the existing confusion.”
MILLIONS FOR
1W WARSHIPS
IN JAPAN NAVY
TOKIO, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—The Japanese government
has decided to ask for an appropria
tion of approximately $22,199,499, to
be expended in the construction of

quirements for the current fiscal year

the total expenditure fixed at over
$450,000,000, spread over 10 consecu
tive years. Of that sum $375,000,000
^is intended for the construction
of four battleships, four battle cruis
ers, 12 cruisers, 37 destroyers and a
number of other war craft.
The original sum of this year’s out
lay was fixed at $33,199,499 in the
navy budget estimate but owing to in
sufficient financial source, that
amount has been cut down by about

of about $5,000,000., the expenditure.
for the present fiscal year being

SHANGHAI, July 20 (by Associat
ed Press).—Results attained in the
campaign for funds to build an Amer
ican school in Shanghai make it pos
sible to announce that the project to
build not only the school but in con
nection with it an American commun
ity center will be carried out. The
initial outlay covering a five-year
program is to be something over $500,
000 and the intention is to open the
new school in September, 1921.
For the past twenty-five years mis
sions have maintained an American
'*£bhool, but as at present, it is housed
poorly in several dwelling houses and
has been held to be inadequate. It
is the purpose of those behind the
project to establish in Shanghai a
small civic area which architectially,
in appearance and in all its details
will be essentially American. The new
school will be goverened by a board
on which American missions and
American business interests in Shang
hai will be equally represented.

REAP HARVEST
BUT JEWS CAN
NOT SELL LAND
NEW YORK, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—While the Jewish people will
be permited to develop and reap the
harvest from land purchased in Pales
tine by the Jewish National Fund and
also be privileged to leave it to their
children, they can never sell it. This
is in accordance with the plan of the
fund to nationalize the land in Pales
tine and eliminate land speculation
as annolunced here by Dr. Baer Ep
stein, the fund’s special commissioner,
who has just arrived from England.
The fund, he said, will spend $1,250,
000 during the next year for the pur
chase of barren land which must be
reclaimed and made fit for settlement
by Jewish renters.
More than 7,000,000 French francs,
Dr. Epstein added, have already been
spent in buying and cultivating 6,000
acres of what now is fertile Pales
tine land and in developing six agri
cultural colonies and a dozen indivi
dual farms.
“The fund not only has purchased
land for farming,” he said, “but it has
hade extensive purchases in Jerusa
lem, Tiberias, Haifa, Jaffa, Safed and
the other principal cities of Palestine.
This city land is used exclusively for
public buildings.
WANTS JAP LANGUAGE
ABOLISHED IN SCHOOLS
HONOLULU, T. H„ July 20 (by As
sociated Press).—The report of the
federal school survey commission,
just made public by Vaughan Mac
Caughey, superintendent of public in
struction for the territory, recom
mended that the Japanese language
schools of Hawaii be abolished.
The federal commission here was
headed by Dr. Frank F. Bunker, chief
of the city school division of the
bureau of education at Washington.
The commission’s report declared
that “language schools, which in the
aggregate outnumber the public
schools of the territory, are centers
of an influence which, if not distinct
ly anti-American, certainly is unAmer
ican.”
