TO SHARP CRITICISM
Mr.. Wilson Advises Ger
man-American Preacher,
of St. Louis, to Let Admin

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. - Think Of
America first" was tho purport OF the
advice given by President Wilson TO the
Rev. Dr. Frederick Bente, OF ST Louis.
who called at the White House as the
representative OF a Gorman-A American or
ganization seeking the enactment OF legis-
lation establishing an embargo on arms
and munitions OF war.
The President indicated to Doctor B6nts
that the activities Of his own and similar
organizations Of Americans OF foreign
birth or parentage along this and similar
lines were a source of embarrsssment
TO the Administration. He was kindly
In his criticism, but the clergyman was
made to understand that enough had oc-
curred already In the form OF mass-meet-
ings OF sympathizers with one element
or another OF Americas forelgn-born pop
ulation to give the President and his ad-
vlsers serlous concern.
The President put his remarks to Doc
tor Bente on the highest ground of pa
triotism and urged upon him the heces-
sity of private individuals and orRaniza-
tions alike observing a policy of nom
interference with tho conduct OF the
American Government in Its diplomatic
relations
The specific measure which Doctor
Bente is seeking to have passed. and
regarding which he appeared before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
yesterday, provides for an embargo on
the shipment of arms and war munitions
of every sort, and with Great Britain and
France holding the mastery of the sens
would tend to operate against the Allies
TO the great benefit of the two Teutonic
Empires. High officials of the State De-
partment have expressed the opinion that
as such measure was not enacted at the
outbreak of the war; its enactment at
this time would be non-neutral act,

silverman wins Map Contest


Edwin II. silverman, of the Jenkin-
town Troop, won the 81 prize offered by
the EVENING LEDGER for the best map
drawn by Boy Scout from the data
supplied in an article on map-makng
by George o. Potts, assistant scoutmes-
ter OF Troop e5, in the issue Of Friday,
January 70. The section OF the country
mapped out was given as bounded by a
road. n stream a railroad, fence and q
trail through the woods to the point OF
beginning. MIR. Potts. who Judged the
contest, wrote the following criticism
of the prize-winning maps
There are several small errors. The
starting point was BMD, opposite pole
No. 666. Slverman has made his start
ing point l5O feet N.NW. OF the pole.
BM5 was in centre of concrete bridges;
the railroad crosses the creek on the
bridge, not under IL, as shown by
this map. Silverman has his railroad
crossing the stream at a point go feet
NV. OF where II should be. Nothing
was said In directions about the fence
running alongside the railroad, as Is
shown in the map. BM7, a large pine
tree, has not the correct sign for a
pine tree. Compass direction and scale
are wrong from BINS to BM7 and from
BM7 to starting point. AS the original
ulTeCtlOnS were lInaBlHdTyt IL 10 hAtN'hl
that there should be some discrepancy
between the finish and start, because
in the directions the final direction was
given as general direction w. BY N. TO
allow little leeway for possible error
The map, with the exception of the err
rors mentloned--which are small ana TO
some eHsnt unimportant-is excellent
and for the work OF a 16-year-old boy
very excellent"
The data given reads:
BMi, centre OF road opposite telegraph
pole No. SOS, $40 feet N.NW. to BM2 In
centre of wooden bridge crossing small
creek. Telegraph line on right OF road
From BM2 $50 feet E.N.B. to BMS,
