debtor nations on condition that the
sums due this government for loans
made to the said Allied nations dur
ing the World War be invested by
the various governments in the pur

are now so vitally needed for food,

>R. LORENZ WILL GIVE UP
WORK IN UNITED STATES
Too Much Opposition by Medical
Profession of America, is the
Reason.
New York, Dec. 8.?Dr. Adolph
jorenz, famous Austrian sturgeon,
innounced today that in view of op
>osition to his professional activities
n this country from the medical pro
ession, he would discontinue further
ree clinics and return to Vienna as
oon as possible.
He made the announcement at the
>ffice of Health Commissioner Cope
and where he went to examine sev
nty five crippled children. Dr. Lo
enz explained his decision in the fol
owing statement:
"In view of the widespread and
;reat opposition to my professional
ctivities in this country from the !
anks of the medical profession, 1
fhich I had hoped tg conciliate, I
eel I must discontinue all my plans !
nd return to my beloved Vienna. :!
"I harbor no malice against the 1
Lmerican profession and hope they
all soon reconsider and accept the '
ffered hand of friendship with their
Austrian brethren. If once the ice
? broken, the current will do the
est and in the near future a recon- 3
iliation must take place anyhow. <
"First,- my great mission was to '
hank the American people for all 1
tiey have done for the starving little *
hildren of Vienna. I' did not fail in 1
bis. My endeavors to conciliate the 1
rofession failed. I made super-hu
lan efforts. I tried in vain. I am !

orry."
Dr. Lorenz, however, did not dis- 1
ppoint the cripples who had gather- 1
d at Dr. Copeland's office seeking '
is aid. He went through with the 1
xaminations diagnosing and advis- 1
ig modes of treatment for the little
nfortunates which Will be carried |i
