Mexico." said Mr. Lansing, "is still the
subject of diplomatic negotiation, hav

eral Candido Aguilar, confidential am
bassador to Mexico, recently on a spe
cial mission to the United States. This
government is pressing the matter of
arranging for the adjustment and pay
ment."
Elimination of President Carranza
"with the least damage possible" is the
only solution of the Mexican problem,
the House rules committee was told by
William Gates, an archeologist. of Bal

Russians Surround
Jewish Quarters and
Massacre Hundreds
London, Aug. 2. Semi-official
Polish sources have received reports
that General Gregorieff's troops
which are occupying Odessa, sur
rounded the Jewish quarter and be
gan a massacre which lasted three
days and nights.
Russian soldiers of Gregorieff's
command, it is stated, carried out
the massacre. The Jews of Ukraine
| and Bessarabia have proclaimed a
mourning period of 14 days.
General Gregorieff entered Odessa
early In the present month after
severe fighting and at the time was
quoted as saying he was ready to
join the Allies in a combined at
tack on the Bolsheviki, if the latter
began an offensive on the Dienester
river.
Cecil B. Harmsworth, British un
der secretary for foreign affairs, said
in the House of Commons on July
8, that General Gregorieff was stated
to be strongly anti-Jewish in his
sympathies. The under secretary
made this declaration in announcing
that many Jews had lost their lives
in the course of the operations be
tween tlie Russian Soviet forces and
those of General Gregorieff, who was
in command of a Ukrainian anti-
Bolshevik army.
Victorious Poles Are
Pushing Beyond Line
Established at Conferences
Vienna, Friday, Aug. 1. The
Poles announce a continuance of
their victorious march against the
Ukrainians. They are crossing the
! Zbrucz river at various points. (It
j should be noted that the Poles were
! given authority by the peace con
j Terence to proceed only to the
, Zbrucz).
The Polish army's objective is
j said to be a Kamenetz, Podolia,
| which is the capital of General
j Simon Petlura, Ukrainian leader.
| The Ukrainians recently resumed
• diplomatic relations with Rumania,
having previously sent missions to
; Italy, Switzerland, Germany and
j Austria and are said to be seeking
ito establish one in the United
j States. It is predicted here that
j the Ukrainians are nearing the final
' chapter of their struggle for inde
' pendence but, according to the
Ukrainians suclh a view pre-sup
poses a settlement of the entire
Russian question without their con
sent. They declare that they, like
the Serbs, will continue to fight in
definitely.

WORLD CENSUS
BIGGEST TASK
EVER STARTED
Interchureh Organization Be
gins Survey of Peoples
and Conditions
Now York, Aug 2.—Tho first
world censure, or survey, of peoples,
economic conditions, schools,
churches, hospitals, orphanages, and
the whole moral, social, religious
and sanitary situation of mankind
has begun.
This announcement was made to
day by the Interchureh World
Movement of North America, the
new co-operative organization of
Protestant evangelical churches.
The denominations of the United
States and Cunnda involved number
seventy-six.
With such support, the movement
is carrying out the largest program
of investigation ever undertaken in
this country outside tho United
States census. Educators, social
workers, economists and other
scientists are watching it closely.
Study United States
The United States will be studied
intensively and from many points of
view never touched on in a cen
sus. The object of the American,
or home, survey, is the tabulation
of every kind of information about
every community and institution in
the country which will be of value
in a united human betterment pro
gram of all Christian forces. The
foreign survey will determine how
Christian forces abroad can be
marshalled to the best advantage.
The country is tho unit of study
in the home survey, taps will be
drawn of every American rural
county, showing the location of
every church, school, railroad, road,
grange, club, farm house and social
center, with the range of influence
of eacn church carefully charted
so it will be possible to see at a
glance where there is overlapping of
effort or entire lack of attention.
The city surveys will be even more
detailed.
A work of such magnitude could
not be undertaken by any single
denomination and the Interchureh
World Movement is the first agency
adequate for the task.
Lend Experts For Work
The benevolent and mission
boards have lent their leading ex
perts for the undertaking. In ad
dition experienced census directors,
socialogists. college professors and
others active in non-religious enter
prises have been enrolled. The op
portunity to make original re
searches in many matters not
touched by any governmental
studies has proved especially at
tractive to such men.
The practicability of co-operative
work has already been demonstrated
in many foreign mission fields.
Practically the whole of China, as
an illustration, has been divided up
into spheres of influence apportion
ed to the various denominations.
The principal purpose of the In
terchureh census is to ascertain
the exact facts about the present
religious situation of every part of
the world so that an intelligent co
operative program can be made.
The foreign survey is in charge of
Ralph A. Ward, authority on China;
the home survey is under R. E.
Diffendorfer; while Fred P. Hag
gard, Baptist leader, exercises gen
eral supervision of all the work.
The United States has been di
vided into ten districts with regional
headquarters for each. Each State
is assigned to one of these districts.
The State has its own survey coun
cil consisting of a clergyman and
a layman from each denomination,
representatives from the State agri
cultural and educational depart
ments, the State historian or ar
chive keeper and similar forces.
The basic unit of the survey is
the county council, consisting of
from two to four members, which
oversees collection of data in the
field. Wherever possible local men
will be used in investigations.
The urban surveys together with
those of special problems, such as
those of the immigrant, the foreign
language colony work among iso
lated people such as those in the
Southern mountains, work among
negroes, etc., will be handled by
special investigating bodies.
The rural surveys are under the
general direction of Edmund de S.
Brunner, of the Moravian Church, a
writer on rural matters, and Her
mann N. Morse, of the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions.
As each survey reveals to each
county the actual facts about reli
gious conditions within its own con
fines, it is believed that the coun
ties themselves will work out pro
grams of interdenominational co
operation in the local field.
Out of such local programs. State
programs will be formulated. Regi
onal plans will grow from these and
national enterprises from the regi
onal plans. Finally it is expected
that from a national viewpoint it
will be possible to answer such
questions as the responsibility of the
whole church in industrial matters,
and towards such social problems
as Bolshevism and other causes of
world unrest. Once this responsi
bility is determined, it will take its
fixed' place in the general program
for the Christianization of the entire
world.
