tMe' JUNE 1, 1917. tho three pNioners who look udoii them elves as nrtyrs to tho cause of genu-Ine liberty, and who It It admitted hava een acting under the Inspiration of per sons much older than themselves, were released in 1,600 ball apiece. The bond Of 14,500 was furnished bv Prof. It. W.

who Is scheduled to sneak at a meetlnr of an antl-conscrlptlon league In tho Hunt Point Palace Monday night. Miss Parker and Phillips were represented by A. Bertram Samuels of 120 Broadway, Who tays he Is not a pacifist, believes In conscription and took the cases because he had known the families of his clients. It appears that the Idea of resisting tke United Htates Government and try-lng to. make a mess of the war sprang from i meetlnr of the Colleirtate Antl-' Militarism League held In New York on May t.

The pamphlet, the manuscript of which Miss Parker and the two other youthful conscientious objectors signed, was to be Issued by them ai a committee appointed at thtsf meeting, although It Is not clear whether they were within their authority In so doing. The Cpllegiate Anll-Mllltarlsm league Is a new sprout from the roots of pad num. One of the prisoners said yesterday: "We had German money offered to us nd George Sylvester Ylereck wanted to end us his magaslne, but we turned both offers down. Our league Is not pro-German and we got rid of everybody that was." It can at least be said that Mlsa Parker, Cattelt and Phillips In starting their crusade to swing college students Into an antl-conscrlptlon outbreak were ot at all stealthy. They took their ''copy" to the Graphic Press, and It wasn't long before the Department of Justice knew all about It.

The proof sheet now In the Federal Building is headed, "Will You Be Drafted?" It quotes a resolution, "We will approve the action of any one who refuses to register for conscription" as having been adopted at a meeting of members of the Collegiate Anti-Militarism League and other peace organiza tions on aaay i. Reaioai Are Given. Categorical reasons for resisting conscription' are set forth. The question of conscription with Its implications for the future, opined the writers, "Is more Important even than the question of victory and defeat In this war. Absolute defeat is virtually Impossible; that Is.

we are in no danger of being overwhelmed, of having our homes destroyed and our women attacked. Absolute victory is unnecessary any dream of world power which Germany may have had Is now out of the question. Consequently we must not consider conscription merely with regard to Its military effectiveness. Wo oppose the draft Just a we should oppose child labor, not because of its military value but in spite it" The three young agitators also declaimed that conscription Is abhorrent to eraocracy, that it is the opening wedge for compulsory military training, that it Violates "liberty of conscience." "It is argued," they continued, "that However undesirable conscription may e. the fact that It has become law lakes any refusal to be drafted But there are times, it seems, when civilisation and progress demand revolt "If conscription is accepted now wlth-aut active protest the Government will fee even readier to apply It when the Best occasion presents itself.

Thousands of conscientious objectors are in Bngllsh prisons because they would not Vow to the draft. They have given fceart to thousands of men of similar feallef in Europe and in this country. By following their example we can give heart to thousands of men down ages. And perhaps a time will come When no Government will attempt to ejemmandeer Us people. Expected to Go to Jail.

"For those of us who are opposed to the draft and will' refuse to be conscripted there remains only the question how best to make our resistance felt If we want to strike with the full strength of our numbers we must refuse to register for conscription even if it leans Jail for us. "There need be nothing negative about ur refusal. Every man can present himself at his registration booth, give his name and address (perhaps on a slip ef paper) and announce that he Is unalterably opposed to the draft and re-fase to register for It (It will not do to regtoter and add that one is a conscientious objector. It is likely that only the reason for exemption allowed by the law Will be recorded, anything else being thrown out as' extraneous matter. The public will' never hear of your protest) Further advice is: "Very few of us will get an opportunity to restat Let us not wait until chance conscripts us before making our protest.

It la beginning to appear that full many a pacifist is born to blush nseen. This is perfectly satisfactory to the conscrlptlonlsts. "When we resist registration we shall he resisting conscription we shall know It and the public will know it it is not true, as some Insist, that resistance to nsisrrauon win wcaKcn mo paciuai cause. The registration and the actual draft are so Inextricably bound together that the public does not look upon them as separate circumstances. Why not attack this whole business of conscription while we can strike with our full Strength? "We urge all conscientious objectors to resist registration even to the extent of going to prison If necessary.

If you are with us and Intend to resist either registration or conscription let us know your name and address. Com-tnualcate with any of the undersigned at tub-Station New York city."

Led Radical Group, At the office of Secretary Fackeuthal of Columbia University It was said that President Butler would take no notice of the matter. It Is believed, however, that none of the three alleged culprits will be In the university next fall, even if ther are not in Jail. At one time Ml Par.

ker, Cattell and Phillips were leaders In the radical group on the campus, but pacifists have not been popular recently. Phillips was head of the Socialist Study Club, and was an editor of the Challenge, which among other thins advocated birth control and roasted the PlatUburg Idea. Cattell la a sneolal student in chemistry. Miss Parker made aucn a good record In the qirls High School that upon her graduation In 11S she won scholarships at Barnard, Adelphl and Cornell, her choice being Bar- nara. Officers of Columbia said yesterday that the university virtually was a unit in favor of conscription and that even tho survivors of tho pacifist group le-pudlated the acts of the trio that worked themselves into public notice.

The Federal authorities will not stop with these throo arrests. They have an Idea of the Identity of the maturer persons who have been guiding Miss Parker and Cattelt and Phillips, and at least one more arrest is expected. The Department of Justice also is making progress In Its Investigation of Emma Goldman's No Conscription League, which sent out circulars advlslnr young men to resist conscription.

Antl-Conscrlptlon Socialists 'Speak to 1,000 In Street. Denied the privilege of using a hall they had hired, a half dozen men, repre-sentlng themselves as the Socialist Propaganda League, spoke in guarded words against conscription to a crowd of 1,000 men and women last night on Havemeyer street, Brooklyn, near the scene of the first food riots last winter. Edward Llngrin wss the only speaker who openly criticised the conscription bill by name. Ho was formerly editor of tho Jamestown Free Press. Flftv and a dozen plain clothes men were ai ue meeting.

Stenographers were In the crowd taking the speeches. It was reported there would be one arrest to-day. The doors of New Plata Jfs.lt the scheduled meeting place, were locked at 8 o'clock, when a crowd of several hun dred awaited admittance. Abraham Mil ler and J. Penman, the proprietors, refused to allow any one to enter.

They said that when the hall was hired the purpose of the meeting was described as a "protest sgalnst the high cost of liv ing," but that they had learned later It was an antl-conscrlptlon meeting and had refused its use for that purpose. Those In charge of the meeting said they had paid a deposit and had had no protest from the police when they advertised the speakers. On the street corner they demanded a boycott of the hall. Llngrln was the second speaker. He spoke of the failure to hold tho meeting indoors, and then started to talk on the conscription bill, declaring that he would criticise tt even though It might cause him imprisonment He spoke slowly.

In referring to the conscription bill Llngrln said: "It Is undesirable and we don't want It, and we don't want the working man to stand for It. The conscription law is undesirable from the standpoint of democracy, and that Is why we don't want it I want to say this, that you may talk to your fellow workmen and stir up sentiment against conscription and have It repealed. "Register, but when you do.

register a protest against the bill. We ask you to work for the repeal of the law, which Is undesirable and autocratic, and which In every way takes away the rights of the people of the nation." The other speakers, who were young men from the Fourth and Fourteenth Assembly district headquarters of the So cialist party, confined themselves to rambling remarks about woman suffrage, capitalism and socialism. They said they would hold a meeting In New Plaza Hall next Monday, with Russians present to talk about the Russian revolution. STOP EMMA GOLDMAN. Philadelphia Police Threaten Anarchist With Arrest.

May 31. Under threat of Immediate arrest Emma Goldman was halted to-night In her effort to organize in Philadelphia a branch of the "No Conscription League" which, from Its headquarters at 20 East 125th street, New York, has circularized the country with pamphlets discouraging registration under the selective conscription law. "On the eve of conscription registration day we will hold a great mass meeting In Manhattan," Miss Goldman said. "This will be a demonstration of the desire of tho people to do ns they wish and not ns others want them to do. "We do not advise against reglstra.

United States District Attorney George W. Anderson and Marshal John J. Mitchell to-day notified the police of every city and town In Massachusetts to arrest immediately all persons found printing or circulating anti-draft literature and to turn them over to the Federal authorities for prosecution. "Our attention has been directed," the notice said, "to certain circulars, fliers and newspapers, some of them In foreign languages, advising against registration and enlistment and attacking tho recent military service statute. These circulars are Issued by small, morally Irresponsible and utterly unpatriotic bodies.

The extent of this agitation has been gronsly exaggerated. Tho overwhelming majority of our people, citizen and foreign. Is loyally patriotic." Police officials were advised that if the antl-drart movement should become serious and widespread National Guard forces would asalst In enforcing the law, MEN MADE SICK ON SOLACE.

I can Conference on Democracy nnd I Terms of Peace, at the Garden Theatre yesterday aftcrnosn A diplomatic move by- the chairman drew to a close a discussion which had continued nearly two hours and threatened to develop Into a regular squabble. The discussion arose over a section, of the report of the committee on American liberties, of which the Rev. Richard W. Hogue of Baltimore was chairman. The report contained the following note," which was enclosed In parenthe ses ant was Intended for the guidance of delegates "We fear that all who register will be under military law and that they will be deprived of their civil rights and be subject to court-martial.

On this subject the War Department has declined to give any Information beyond the de tails of registration. There also Is grave danger that under the conscription law millions who aro not called for military service may bo compelled to do any kind of work without protection of labor laws and under any conditions which the military or Executive may force upon them. This would be flagrant violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution against Involuntary servitude." Dlspnte Grows Acrimonious. Harry1 Weinberger of this city war.ted the "note" retained and adopted with the rest of the report, but Job Harrlman the California Socialist leader, offered vigorous opposition. He wanted it referred to the executive committee.

"We should move very slowly In con sidering this paragraph." he advised. "I nm not sure that If we adopt it we will not be covertly giving advice when we are not certain of our ground. The on. scriptlon bill Is now law. What the use of fighting when we are already whipped?" "The time to protest is now, netore registration day arrives," shouted Weln- berger.

"It is useless 10 uuk anoui ioi-lowlng England's example In this mat ter of conscription, we ore always doing that As England fiddles to-day wc dance to-morrow." Dr. Norman Thomas and Algernon the Socialist candidate for Governor of New York last year, took sides with Harrlman, while several young men who said they would be affected by the conscription act supported Weinberger's position. Harrlman and Weinberger both are lawyers, and their disagreement amused a husky Individual who Introduced himself as "a longshoreman, not a lawyer." "Nobody seems to know wnai me law Is. so I think we Should strike the whole thing out," he declared. "It's silly to attempt to get the opinion of the legality of a statute from the War Department, anyhow.

I can't conceive what the com mittee was thinking about when it con sulted such an authority." Cowardice Charge Itrsented. Frank Stephens, a pacifist leader, made one of the fieriest speeches of the day. "The trouble with this country, he shouted, "Is the cowardice of men who are cowards by profession ministers and lawyers." This charge stirred Rabbi Jucah Magncs, who was presiding, and It was then that he made the ruling referring the question without a vote to the ex ecutive committee, its decision to be sent to the delegates when It is ready. It was late and nobody appealed from the decision. The commltteo report as "against the suppression of any public adopted protests, among other things, meetings of American citizens," declares that all Americans are entitled to pass ports to foreign countries and opposes tho censorship of news.

Earlier in the afternoon Miss Fola La Follette had presented the report of the committee on permanent organization, providing for the election of an executive committee to organise a "people's council from all sympathetic groups to give Immediate and permanent effect to tho resolutions of this conference." The report also recommended the appointment of a committee to go to Washington and ask the President on what terms the Administration would be willing to make peace. Miss Rebecca Shelly suggested the formation of an organization modelled after the Council of Workmen's nnil Soldiers'. Delegates In Russia. Her proposal was referred to the executive committee with a recommendation for favorable action. Daniel Klefer of Cincinnati In a speech denounced the conscription act as "both Immoral and unconstitutional." DENY WINTERHALTER STORY.

Daniels Says Story of Shift Is nit to Officers. Wasiiinciton, May 31. Secretary Daniels denied tn-day a report printed In a New York newspaper that Admiral Albert Wlnterhalter had been se-lected to succeed Admiral Henry T. Mayo as commander In chief of the' bnt. tleshlp fleet.

Mr. Daniels said he oh-Jected to the report not only "because It's a Ho out of the whole cloth," but chiefly because It contained, he thought Insinuations against the loyalty of Amerfcan naval officers who happened to Iwve German names. "It Is an outrage and nothing short of treason to doubt the loyalty of our American naval officers because of German names. There are no more loyal men In the service." Naval officers generally regarded the report as absurd on Us face. Admiral Wlntorhalter, who Is now attached to the General Board, has only been back from sea duty two weeks.

The Intimation that he will succeed Admiral Mayo when the tatter rot I res overlooks the fact Utat Admiral Wlnterhalter retire bafnr Mineral Water DRAFT NOT TO RUSH MEN INTO SERVICE Selected Ones Will Havo Plenty of Tlmo to Bottle Their Affairs. Wasiunuton'. May 31. Regulations to govern the selective draft or the first GOO.OOO and the question of exemptions from service have now been drawn up subject to approval by the President. They will not be announced until nfter registration has been completed.

The public Is warned not to place faith in premature unofficial announcements concerning possible exemptions, Enoch 11. Crowder, Judge Advocatc-Oeneral of the Army and Provost Marshal, made the reason for this clear to Tub Sun correspondent today. He explained that the War Department realized fully the Interest which this subject had for the general public and desired to have correct Information go Into every home as soon as possible. All that can now be said positively, according to Gen. Crowder, is that the public may hf assured that the fairest means posslblo will govern the selection by lot and the exemption from service.

It was added that those who are selected will not be rushed off nt short notice, but will havo plenty of time to put their affairs In order and report for their duty with the colors. The first move on the part of all male citizens between the ages of SI and SO Inclusive Is to register next Tuesday. They then return to their normal pursuits and need not expect to hear further from the War Department until or unless they are ordered to report for medical examination. This will be their first Indication that they are among the ones under consideration for Immodlifte service. The question of physical fitness will be settled before rases of exemption are taken up.

To obtain the first 600.000 men the original number drafted will necessarily be greatly In excess of this number. This is because consideration must bo given In advance to the number to be rejected for physical unfitness and to tho number exempted for one cause or another. After the physical examination has taken place those who have been ordered to take It will again return to their every day. life- to await developments. The first definite sign of selection following this will be contained in a terse order from the War Department to report to such a training camp for another physical examination and service.

The Department will apportion the number from each district city and State, which will be subject to this first call. This will be regulated according to population and according to tho total number of names reglktered. For example. If there are ten times as many names registered as are to be Included In the first selection for physical examination 1 In 10 will be the number chosen for this preliminary selection. This choice will be made by lot Generally speaking, all who have registered should consider themselves subject to call at any time, provided they have not been exempted.

It la probable, for example, that the necond Increment of 600,000 will be maie up without another registration process. Even the third or fourth Increments may bo so obtained. In this connection, however. It Is Important to romember that plenty of advance notice Is going to bo given to thoso who are selected, The War Department Issued the following to-day regarding registration next Tuesday "Who must register. All mnle persons (citizens or aliens) born between the 6th day of June, US6, and tho r.th day of June, 1196, both dates Inclusive, ex-cept: Members of any duly organized force, military or naval, subject to bo called, ordered or drafted Into military or naval service of the United States, Including all officers and enlisted men of the regular army, regular army reserve.

The cletk may deputise him to prepare your card.

"Penalty for not registering: Liable to year's Imprisonment; then enforced registration." No provision has yet been made by Gen. Crowder for the registration of Americans abroad. Inability to register does not afford a permanent excuse. Americans returning from abroad must register within five days after reaching the first United States port. Department officials generally have presumed that the privileges of citizenship would carry with them a duty for military torvlce not affected by foreign residence, but no formal ruling will be mado until the opinion of Gen.

Crowder has been re-celved. The question Involves to some degreo tho specific terms of the ex. tradition treaties between the United States and other countries. Another aspect of registration came up during the day when registration officials throughout tho country wcro informed that answers would not be required to question 12 on the registration cards as to whether tho Individual claims exemption, and on what grounds. Tho Department has reached the coiuiuslon that no injn should be required to claim exemption.

There nre many who do not care to do so, and UUder the new ruling none will be required to state his position until he Is summoned for actual service and comes before an exemption board.

PJIOTEST AGAINST DRAFT Nnmo of Attorney-General of United States Also Comes In for Hisses. Eight or ten National Guardsmen who attempted a patriotic demonstration in Madison Square Garden last night were made the target for a vast chorus of "boos'' and hkwea in which almost all of the 13.000 persons crowded Into the big hall Joined. The chairman made a facetious remark about the presenco of the men In uniform and asked the audience to tako no further note of them.

Tho meeting was held ostensibly to mark the close of the First American Conference for Dmocrac' and Terms of Peace. In reality It was intended as a monster protest against conscription, the enforcement of tho law under which men who enjoy the privileges of American citizenship shall be made to render some return to the Government Only a few sporadic outbursts, such as that directed at the militiamen, marked the limit of the outbursts. Early in tho meeting a mention of the Attorney-General of the United States evoked hisses, but the clamor was soon checked. The crowd, a big proportion of which, had come bent obviously on mlchlef, was cowed. Heavy Unard of Poller.

There was representation of men of authority such as has been seen at no other meeting ever held In New York. Tho turnout of police alone was greater even than on that memorable night In 1896 when William Jennings Bryan Invaded the enemy's country and attracted perhaps the biggest turnout which the old hall ever saw. Four hundred men In uniform, directed by Inspectors Max Schmlttberger and James S. Bolan, and ISO detectives, under Inspector John J. Cray and Capt Joseph Qulnn.

formed a cordon which surrounded the building in an almost solid Una. Across Madison avenue. In the offices of the Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the police had established a special station, and in the nearby streets were four field telephones, having direct connection with Ave district stations, where extra men were on duty, ready to respond to a call for reserves. Deputy Police Commissioner Guy Scull personally was In charge of this Immense force. Six automobiles equipped with huge searchlights encircled the building re- peatedlv and three other searchlights lastfneu on posts in Madison avenue faced the main entrance.

These were to be used In locating possible centres of riot should disturbers attempt any overt acts. Meanwhile the hall itself swarmod with Federal officials and agents one feature which was absent from tho Bryan meeting and all other gathering there. Besides Assistant United States Attorneys John C. Knox and Harold Content there was a big representation of secret i-trIcc men, their ears strained to catch any treasonable utterance which might bo made. A squad of militiamen of the Sixty-ninth P.eglment and a group of members of the National Defence League also was on duty.

Gaardsmen Arrest Three. So. whatever might have been In their minds to do or say Ben RCItman, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and other "patriots" who were conspicuous In the audience. It Is easy to see, why the officers of Government, Stnte and city had little to do but look sharp. Tho only offence against tho peace was tho distribution of circulars advertising a "No Conscription" meeting tho dodgers so read to be held at Hunt's Point Palace next Monday night Natlonnl Guardsmen and detectives arrested four men and a woman who attempted to pass out these notices nnd took them to the East Twenty-Bec-ond street police station.

The firemen also were busy. They confiscated handful of blanks which Miss Ada Flatman of the Conference for Democracy and Terms of Peace had ready for distribution. These were Innocent appearing documents. Intended to servo as pledges of contributions to the pacifist propaganda, but the Bremen considered they had made enough concessions In permitting tho overcrowding of the hall, without littering the floor with papers. The chairman.

Rabbi Judah Mendes, made this seizure the subject of a plaintive complaint to the audience. Tlio first antl-Amerlcan demonstration ramn at the Start of tho meeting. "Perhaps for the first time In an Amerl-can gathering," said Dr. Mendos. representatives of the Department of Justice thlsses nre meeting wl.th us.

They are here under orders from the Attorney-General of the United States." IMore hisses. Dr. Mendes looked nervously toward group of policeman near one of tho doors and rapped vigorously for order. There was more hissing when James H. Maurer, president of tho Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, referred In scornful tones to "the gentlemen with dollars, the gentlemen of the pulpit and the gentlemen of the press." In these three categories the speaker summed up all that Is objectionable In present day life.

Mr. Maurer will be remembered as the man who figured conspicuously In a meeting In Washington Irving High School several months ago In which tho American flag was Bald to havo been held up to dorlslon. Almost every one of the orators made reference to the peace moves In Russia, moves believed to be Inspired by German agents, nnd Invariably these mentions were signals for outbursts of wild cheorlng. But the hero of the evening was Morris Hlllqult. Socialist candidate for Congress from one of the East Hide districts last autumn, He enmo ns a mat-tyr and as such he was Introduced "onn of the delegates to the Stockholm conference to whom a passport was refused." Tho National Guardsmen, on whom tho crowd was to vent Its disapproval, would have been conspicuous even had they not appeared In uniform and hau they not cheered at un unexpected moment.

They attracted attention to themselves by waving an American flag. It was not a large flag, but even so It must have felt lonely In the big hall had It been a thing of consciousness, for the meeting was notable for the absence of patrlotla emblems. There were three other flags In the building, but they wero so small as scarcely to be noticed, and they were so placed against tho speaker's stand as to glvn the Impression Inevitably thnt Lake Hopatcong Nixt UMay "JSV.SST' i is It fV.

It was whllo Maurer was speaking that tho National Guardsmen found an opporttnlty to show that tlioy at least were for America first. "The Government Is trying to get men to fight this war," said tho speaker. From the box whero tlio militiamen were seated came a lusty cheer. For an Instant the rest of tho crowd sat spellbound. Then arose tho chorus of boos," which drowned tho shouts, though they could not daunt tho enthusiasm of tho group of patriots.

Dr. Mendes leaped to his feet and rapped for order. "I see a handful of our dear soldier boys up there," ho shouted. "If thoy, wearing the Insignia of the United States, choose to disturb this peaceful meeting, I ask you who aro with us not to reply." Calls Gaardsmen a. Plant.

Once before Dr. Mendes had felt to quell an Incipient outburst of enthusiasm which, also, had coins from the vicinity of the militiamen's seats. "That's what the police call a plant," he said. "I give notice now that If there Is any disturbance here it will not be of our making." A discreetly worded antl-conscrlptlon resolution was adopted by the assemblage. It wan not as vigorous a document as the crowd had been looking for and aroused only a feeble cheer.

"Inasmuch," it read, "ns we believe conscription laws to be unconstitutional violating the Thirteenth amendment of the United States Constitution, which provides that there shall be no Involuntary servitude, we appeal to the Congress of the United States to amend the conscript act before June 6 as to grant exemption to all conscientious objectors, whether or not they be members of recognized religious organizations. It recited further that "Inasmuch aa the legal branch of the War Department thus far had refused to answer questions concerning the legal status" of young men who are called upon to register next week, the conference appealed to the Government "for a full and unmistakable pronouncement upon this point" Dr. Mendes perpetrated what the crowd regarded as the only Joke of the evening. It was only a repetition of the line from the President's war message, "the world must be made safe for democracy," but it struck many In tho crowd as irresistibly funny and they laughed heartily. There was loud cheering and cries of "Ireland! Ireland!" a moment later when tho speaker asked "Does a world made safe for democracy refer to Germany alone? Does It also refer to some of our allies, Japan, for Instance, and to somo of the possessions cf our allies Ireland.

India, Morocco l'i sla. for instance?" Ilauli Wealth Conscripted. Maurer aroused enthusiastic demonstrations repeatedly. "They're going to conscript the work, ers for war," he shouted, "but they're saying nothing about conscripting the wealth of the rich. If it's right to take the poqr widow's son Isn't it right also to take tho rich man's money?" Mr.

Hlllqult discussed "the new slogan of, newspapers and statesmen, 'Wc must take the place of Russia In this "We are taking the place of Russia," he said. "The Russian people havo shaken off the yoke of military despotism, of arbitrary prosecutions, of press censorship and of suppression of nil civil rights. We arc introducing a powerful military organization, a reign of force and persecution, a rigid censorship on rcs nnd speech. Let us abandon the dangerous slogan nnd the dangerous policy. Let us make common cause with tho peoplo of the new, free and democratic Russia In forcing the world to end the terrible war." Prof.

Scott Nearlng declared that the Monroe Doctrine means "that the United reserves for Itself the rlxht to pick the pockets of the South American countries." He described the war aa "a' grand stroke for plutocracy." "The business Interests," he said, "were making huge Investments abroad. Tliey needed a navy and an army to back them up. These were Impossible without conscription. Conscription was Impossible without war. Tho war supplied the link missing from the chain Jrnkln Lloyd Jones of Chicago spoke, he said, "for those who are unrepresented or misrepresented by the public press, whot-o agonized cries arc un-echoed by a militant priesthood and a superficial Christianity that hows to the dictates of tho Ciesar In the name of the Christ." Crowd llecomra Restless, Seymour Steadman of Chicago nnd Max Eastman epoke briefly.

LETTER BACKS CliAnOK Conference of Foreign fleln-tions in Uproar Over Charges. Acrimonious discussions marked terday's sessions of tho National ference on Foreign Relations, in sesnlon at Long Beach.

The discussions bocim, more and more bitter as the day pro-greased. The closing moments of ti afternoon session were marked by a sharp exchange of personalities Paxton Hlbben, former corroponiaii of the Press Association at Athens and Salonica, and Dr. Theodar P. Ion, professor of International law In the George Washington University, (n the course of which Dr. Ion that Mr.

Hlbben's speech criticising th Allies' policy in Greece was a part of the propaganda which ho is delivering this country as tho paid agent of th Greek royal Government. Mr. Hlbben, who has recently rettirn4 from Greece, said tho so-called dreeli revolution Is not expressive of the v.t. tlonal sentiment of tho country, but fomented and Is now supported by th Entente Powers. Dr.

Ion, who is i Venezellst, sprang to his feet nt the 'on-elusion of these remarks and drummled to know whether Mr. Hlbben would dtny that he was now in the pay of ih Greek Government "Will you deny that you have received 1500 per month from that Cisv. ernment ever since you returned to th! country for spreading Just this fort of propaganda?" Dr. Ion demanded. "Prove it! Provo It' shouted Jfr.

Hlbben. "I havo the proof hera In my pocket," wns the retort of Dr. Ion, Charges Ilonsn Conference, After some disorder. In which inanr voices addressed tho chairman simultaneously. Dr.

Ion began an cxpl.ir.atloi of tho origin and progress of Venezllos revolution, in the cour of which he took occasion to say that 3b. Hlbben's statements elmply weie the expression of opinions and not obstm tlons of facts. At the conclusion of hi remarks Prof. Seagar, who wan presiding, stated that although tho time at tlis session was nearly exhausted ths accusation which had been broush! against the previous speaker was of such a serious character that ho would allew Mr. Hlbben toreply aa a matter of set-sonal privilege.

Mr. Hlbben's retort was that he would be glnd to have Dr. Ion furnish an) proof In his possession to the commltta in charge of the conference. In a state ment given out later he said that lie hail received $300 from the Greek Cham d'AiTalre for the translation of certain documents, and that tills was the on'. sum he ever had received from the Oreei Government or any of its officials.

Late last' night the committee announced that Dr. Ion had furnished tiim with n. letter from a member of the Greek legation stating that Mr. Hit). ben hud been receiving certain unspecified sums of money in consideration of his carrying on certain propaganda In the United States.

Mr. Hlbben announced that he had telegraphed the Greek Charge d'Altalres at Washington requesting an ofllclal statement in regard to the and on account of the lateness of tho hour and Mr. Hlbben's Inability to present his side of the cast action was taken.
