PHILADELPHIA, Dec 22-Unpatri- otic influences fostered by native born Americans. growing out of the lack of harmony among classes and result ing in "an order of universal condem- nation" were held largely responsible in an address here tonight by Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, for The activities Of ioelgn born "itizens condemned in President Wilson's re- cent address 10 CoAe, ess

 First the powerful holding their power from wealth or the accident of position, could see nothing in the de mand of the masses for justice except the cry of anarchy They ever con demned the effort to eQualing the priv neges an dopportunities of men as the protest of socialism. They concluded their arraignment of the poor for jus tice the middle classes for opportuni- ty and thise who struggled for the at- knoyledgement of the laws of man and God, as either ignorance or crime.
 Here began the first damnation of one set of Americans of the other class in order to avoid listening to their complaints or respecting their grievances. Then followed the natur' al revenge The under classes cried out their condemnation against every thing that was property or prosperous. This retaliation took the form of ac- cusation against all law makers as crooks. the impeachment of officials as embezzlers. and judgement and ex ecuuon against all authority, political or religious, or possessions, earned or inherited.
 Then there arose in the community selfselected leaders, who, to advance their ambitions for office or noisy rec ogniuon. capitalized these roarings oi discontent under the hue and cry ol Down with Society Death to the Courts Contempt for Law a scoh al religion ond a defiance of God

LONDON. Dec. 22-Up to late hour there was no official confirmation of the report of the Russian occupa- ton of Verna which, if true, London editors state is "one of the greatest moves of the present war Some critics believe the Russians will as- sault Verna as a prelude to new et- fort for Constantinople which is less than l5O miles distant Allied cap itals regard the English success at Hartmanns-Weuerko in the Nosges, as a brilliant and useful operation at a point where the situation has been the most difficult in many months.
 The number of prisoners is the largest on the west front since the Champagne Loos offensive.
 The American second Ancona note shared leading positions in London Newspapers with the occupation of Verna. The note appeared too late for extended editorial comment.
 The English public takes much nride in the manner in which Austra- lia has taken the withdrawal from Galipoi The attiture was summed llp by Australian newspapers in the words of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech I've highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have new birth of freedom" The most import ant developments of the evening in Great Britain were the appeal by leading bankers to the nation to unite in the task of meeting the wars tin- ancial requirements and the speech of Lloyd George at Newcastle to trade union officials of the country, appeal ing to them for assistance in obtain. ing SO,OOO skilled workmen, which he demanded in his recent speech in Parliament.
