...Army through Shanghai, Nanking and finally, last week, to Hankow (see p. 13). Amid the brutal horrors perpetrated in the native quarters of these cities there was just one oasis of succor for Chinese, the "safety zone." At Shanghai year ago a square-bearded, black-robed, one-armed French Jesuit, Father Jacquinot de Besange, originated the safety zone scheme. Colorful, 60-year-old Father Jacquinot, aristocrat by birth, prevailed upon Chinese and Japanese military heads to keep the Nantao area, the old native city next the International Settlement, free of fighting and bombardment. This area, dubbed the Jacquinot Zone, sheltered...
...improvement on Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo, he cannot be called an imitation. Cristobal Hernando Pinzon, handsome, precocious hero of the tale, lives for a revenge that is all his own. At 21, on the eve of the World War, Cristobal is a director of a Jesuit bank, making a mere $50,000 a year. At War's end, his daring speculations have made him the richest man in the world. Meanwhile, he has helped rig a Papal election, has picked up two shady stooges and has narrowly missed marrying a rich, broad-shouldered, English adventuress. His next...
...school system and the Sisters of Charity in the U. S. Today, 8,911 nuns of her order, eight colleges, 160 high schools and academies, 447 parochial elementary schools and many a hospital and asylum are her monuments. Last week, Rev.

Bias. When America, able Jesuit weekly, announced a contest to discover anti-Catholic bias in the U. S. press (TIME, March 7), the Christian Register (Unitarian) snapped: "The Roman Catholic Church represents the most powerful organization of bias anywhere to be found." Said Christian Century, liberal Protestant weekly, "There is something very dangerous about the doctrine that only the truth has a right to be heard." Said the Churchman (Episcopal): "A large section of the American press is having a bad case of jitters over the attitude of the Roman Church. ... It is a pitiful exhibition...
...from its building a Jewish congregation headed by an anti-Hague rabbi, Benjamin Plotkin. Some local Jews called him a Communist. Said the American Hebrew last week: "For Jersey Jews deliberately to fan the flame which may ultimately consume them seems the most reckless kind of communal suicide." Similarly, Jesuit America has warned Jersey City Catholics against allying themselves with Boss Frank Hague, a Roman Catholic, on the grounds that Hague tactics may be used elsewhere against Catholics (a warning, however, not heeded by numerous Jersey City priests and Catholic War veterans). Said Zions Herald (Methodist) : "Jersey City has become...
