Brother Barnabas in Texas
To Conduct Boy Guidance
Course There in June
Former German Chancellor
Catholic, Dies At Freiburg
Freiburg, Germany—Constantin Feh-
rerrback, former Chancellor of the
German Republic and veteran leader
of the Catholic Center party, died
here at the age of 74, of pneumonia.
The Centrists thus lose one of
their greatest parliamentarins and
spokesmen.
It was in 1918 that he was chosen
president of the Reichstag. Here
and as president of the National
Assembly, he made a brilliant rec
ord as a parliamentarian in some of
the most difficult times of the
country. He particularly won the
respect of all by his impartiality.
In 1920 he became Chancellor of
the Republic, just at the time the
Spain conference was about to he
held, when Germany met her former
enemies in council for the first time
after the war. Later in the same
year, however, the Allies presented
their ultimatum at the London con
ference, and in the middle of 1921
Fehrenhach resigned, leaving the
chancellorship to Dr. Wirth, also a
Center leader. He continued an in
fluential figure in the Reichstag,
however, and when Dr. Marx became
Chancelor *in 1923, assumed the
leadership of the Center party. In
that capacity ha- had continued to
render valuahle service.
