DR.. FELIX ADLER MAKES
AN ATTACK ON FUNSTON

NEW YORK. april f4.-Before the
Society of Ethical Culture. in Carnegie
Hall. yesterday morning, Dr. Felix Adler
discussed two subjects: rs It treason
10 condemn a war waged by our country
while the war is ztill in progress" and
Are civilized nations justified in adopt
ing uncivilized methods of warfare2'
Dr. Adler said the word treason" had
an oIninous sound, and carried with it the
most odious Teproach. Recently. he de-
elared, general in the United States
Army had said that those persons Who
condemned the war in the Philippines
ought to be hanged, because they were
traitors.
What Constitutes Treason.
.'If a discussion Of the objects for which
war was commenced" continued Dr.. Al
Ter. tends TO breed disruption at time
when unity is Indispensable for salvation,
then to give voice to such discussion is
indeed treasons But it is different when
the case is one OF power and not Of self
preservation. Love of ones country is
not merely an instinct of gregariousness.
It is a high ethical duty. To rise in de-
Tense Of the nation IS to perform an act
Of seIf-defense- He loves best his country
who seeks to dissuade her from doing
wrong He who would stiffe discussion
lays himself open to the charge of trying
to divert criticism, because it is not a
question to bear the light Of criticism
BIoodshed. horrible as it is, is not the
greatest evil. Even If more blood be shec
in consequence Of the attempt to prevent
our country from doing a wrong, even
If The war should be prolonged. it is bet
ter that men should perish on either side
or both sides and that the great prin-
ciDles and political liberty shall continue
to be perpetuated. It is treason by dis
Cussion to raise dissension when cur
countrys life is imperiled; it is not
treason to condemn war still in prog
ress, II that war is sincerely believed to
be unjust. ard if there is any hope that
we may succeed in preventing our couu-
try from continuing a wrong It is not
treason to condemn a war OF aggression
or any war that does not touch the
national existence"
Civilized and Uncivilized Warfare.
In taking up the question Of unciviIized
warfare the speaker said the evils Of war
should be restricted TO the combatants.
When civilized countries fought each
other that was the case, but when a civil
lied country fought an uneiyilized coun-
try then the civilized nation stopped TO

There were representations and petit

as a most exemplary character, who had
experienced a change OF heart, was peni-

should spend all his life in a prison cell,
especially as he had taken such i turn

record for a man whose wings were be-

that there were other things written On

When Jones was being brought back to
Illinois he was handcuffed 10 one Of his

for safer keeping. In some manner, prob

STEEL TRUSTS ANSWER.
Reply to the Suit Brought to Restrain
Issue of Bonds.

NEW ARK, y. j., June 12.-The United
States Steel Corporation fled answer to-
day to the suit brought by Marian Barger.
of Sullivan county. New York, to restrain
the company from retiring 500, 100000 or
preferred stocks and issuing bonds there
for. The constitutional points raised in the
bill will be argued. Meanwhile the rule 10
show cause, granted by Vice Chancellor
Emery. last Monday. acts as a stay.
The answer AYERS that the corporation,
by virtue OF the law under which it exists,
has the right to make, alter or amend its
bylaws, subject always TO the vote of the
stockholders, as was done in the present
case. The bill denies that il was ever the
intention of the defendant corporation and
its officers 10 make the new bonds con-
vertible into common stock at any price or
in any manner whatsoever. Ii claims that
the action of the directors in retiring the
preferred stock was voted upon and as
sented TO by nearly all the capital stock of
the corporation.
In regard TO the contract with j. Z. Nor
gan & Co, the answer declares that the
contract was approved by more than a ma
Jorlty of the stockholders, not including
stock registered in the name of j. p. Nor
gan az Co, or any member OF, or repre-
sentative of that firm, any subscriber to
said syndicate, or any officer or director of
the defendant corporation. In other words,
the 2.O6l,376 shares belonging to the per-
sons mentioned were excluded. OF the s.
124, 435 shares remaining 5,6i29l2 shares were
voted in approval OF the contract. OF the
balance. less than 1900 shares were voted
In opposition.

thirty. though some of the burghers who
surrendered are septuagenarians. Reports
from all the districts say that the burghers
are increasingly friendly. The only bit
terness observable among the leading Beers
here Is against France and Germany.
They declare the war was protracted I'M
necessarily owing to hopes held out by the
French ana German press. Some of the
Beers are so incensed that they have ex-
pressed the hope that some day they will
fight on the side of the British against one
of these powers.
The anticipated friction between the sur
rendered Beers and their former comrades
OF the National scouts has not materialized
10 any extent The Beers admit they re-
ceived ammunition through Portuguese
territory.
General Dewet says the youngsters were
his best fighters and frequently held posi-
tions after the older burghers had cleared
out.
The Beers Of the Orange River Colony
are handing In only a small percentage of
their ammunition. They explain that they
used most of IL in hunting game since the

Elliott said the only wish OF King Edward,
his government and the British people
was TO help the burghers and get them
back 10 their farms as soon as possible.
The King, the General added, had tele-
grapned congratulating the burghers
the good stand they had made. This an
nouncement was greeted with lusty cheers
for the King and for Lord Kitchener.
