DR.. Goddard Not
A Socialist Delegate
Russian Not Representing the
Party in u. S. at Stock
holm Conference

Concerning dispatches from Stock
holm regarding DR.. Max Goldfaro. OF
the "pailv Forward" who has been de-
scribed as regular delegate OF the
Socialist party of the United States TO
the Socialist Peace Conference at
Stockholm, Abraham Cahan, editor OF
the Forward" said yesterday;
"Dr. Goddard has never been gwen
credentials as delegate of the Socialist
party. nor has he ever been officially
authorized in any other way to act as
a full-Aedged delegate representing the
Socialist party. He is not an Ameri-
can, but a Russian citizen, having lived
in this country during the war, during
which time he was connected with our
paper in prominent capacity. In
Russia he was conspicuously connected
with the celebrated Jewish revolution
arv organization known as the Bund
and was one OF its most gifted spokes-
men. After the outbreak of the revo-
luton in Russia. the executive commit
tee Of the Bund cabled 10 him summon
ing him to return TO Petrograd and to
resume his old duties under the new
regime.
"Thercupon We made arrangements
with DR.. Goddard 70 act as our chief
correspondent for Russia. II was then
that Morris Hillquit. learning of his
projected trip to Russia, had con-
versation with him in which he asked
him 20 convey his regards to the dele
gates of the Stockholm conference and
10 familiarize them with the American
situation. All of US have the highest
regard for DR.. Goldfarb and place i'm
plicit confidence in him"
Washington. June 20.-Boris Rein
stein and Or. Max Goldfarb, two Of the
Socialists from America now at Stock
holm, have violated no American law
IN sailing from this country without
passports, nor, in the case of Reinstein,
whose passports were taken from him,
by sailing in defiance Of this act Of the
government. This view was expressed
by officials of the State Department to-
day.
1t is also considered doubtful
whether the two men arc rendering
themselves liable 10 prosecution under
the Logan act. To incriminate them
selves, il was thought. they would have
10 enter into negotiations with agents
or representatives OF government
with which the United States was in
controversy or at war.

To See Nine. Kerensky

Petrograd, June 20.--Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, British suffragist leader,
arrived unexpectedly in Petrograd yes
terday. She appeared in the best of
health.
Mrs. Pankhurst called at once on the
Root Commission, comforting at length
with Elihu Root and Charles Edward
Russell at the Winter Palace. The
discussion was regarding what might
be done to assist Russia in directing
all the forces OF the new democracy
toward the struggle with the common
foe.
Mrs. Pankhurst told newspaper cor
respondents that she had come to Rus
STA TO explain TO the men and women
Of the new republic the attitude of the
British democracy toward the war. She
added that it was too early TO announce
exactly how she aimed to accomplish
this, but planned to appeal directly to
the people and probably would address
street audiences.
One of Mrs. Psnkhurst's first APP
pointments will be with Nine. Kerr
onsky, wife of the Minister of War.
She is greatly interested in the forma-
ton Of the women's regiment and the
report that Nine Kerensky is about 20

OF her trip from England Mrs Pank-

Great Public Funeral
For London Children
Killed in Air Raid
Civil and Military Officials at
Grave of Little Victims.

London, June 20.-To sixteen chill
dren, only two of whom were over five
years old, the victims of the German
air raid on London June 10, was given
a public funeral this afternoon. Their
bodies were laid in a common grave in
an east end cemetery, over which a
monument will be placed.
Seldom, if ever, have children had
such funeral. The Marquis of Crewe
attended in behalf of the government,
while Major General Sir Francis Lloyd,
general officer commanding the London
District, represented the army. There
were messages from the King and
Queen, while the Bishop of London, as
sisted by the Bishop of Stepney, con-
Quoted the services in the church,
which was a bower Of flowers sent by
children from all parts of the country.
Most of the floral offerings contained
formal words of sympathy, but others
did not mince matters. Almost all the
others bore the inscription: ITO our
children murdered by German air
craft"

Germany Now Using
Benzoate for Sugar
Lack of Potatoes Causes Riots
by Women in Some
Places

Copenhagen, June 2o.--The American
controversy over the use of benzoate of
soda is recalled by the recommendation
of the German food department that
this preservatve be used instead of SUI
gar in putting up fruit, fruit juices and
marmaladc. The amount OF sugar al
lotted for preserving purposes is so
small that the department advises its
use only with the most ripe and the
naturally sweetest fruits
As occurred last year, fruits have
largely disappeared from the open mar
ket as soon as the authorities attempted
to regulate the prices and are almost
unobtsinablc in Berlin. The potato
situation, bad though il is in Berlin.
Hamburg and other leading cities, is
far worse in localities less we'll sdver-
tised and with a more tractable popula-
ton. Leipsic. for example, issues this
week one pound Of potatoes and one
pound Of bread, instead of five pounds
of potatoes.

81 Firms Offer to
Build $4,000 Motor
Cars for u. S. Army
Prices Range from S1,031 to
$4,000, According to Size
of Vehicle

Washington. June 20.-The War De-
pertment's request for bids for $4,000
army motor trucks brought response
from eighty-seven concerns throughout
the country. and when the offers were
opened to-day il was found that the
total number for which bidders are
ready TO contract is many times the
governments requirements. How many
will be ordered has not been deter
mined. The estimate of $4,000 was
based on the maximum transport needs
o. an army of two million men.
Virtually all the big motor companies
ana many of the smaller concerns sub
mitted bids. Many types and sizes were
offered, the prices ranging from ST.
G3l for one-ton trucks 10 $4,000 for
five-ton vehicles. Some of the manu-
facturers are ready 70 begin delivery
at once. and others set varying delivery
dates, ranging up to six months ahead.
Three concerns, the Perce-Arrow
Motor Car Company, the Hurlburt Mo-
tor Truck Company and the Nash Mo-
tors Company, each offered to build
the whole $4,000. There was one offer
of 10000 and several of 5000. Three
companies offered 10 build trucks at
cost plus 10 per cent. profit.
Offers 10 turn out ten trucks day
for he government came from two
large firms, with no limit set on the
ultimate total. Similar arrangements,
with the output set at five, two and one
trucks a day, were offered by several
other companies.
II is estimated that there are not
more than 10000 motor trucks on the
entire Western battle front in Europe.
that number having proved ample for
the Allies. For this reason some Off
cials feel that the War Department
should not go above its estimate Of
80 900 as the total to be ordered. II is
expected that those offering quickest
deliveries will be given preference in
the placing OF contracts.

Radical Socialists
Show Insincerity
Of Scheidemann
Majority Party Had Favored
lamentations, Declares
Leipsic Organ

Copenhagen, June 20.-The "Nolks
Zeitung," of Leipsic, an organ Of the
Radical German Socialists, publishes
an article, entitled "The Truth About
the Peace Policy Of the Governments
Socialists" in an effort 10 prove that
Philip Schiedemsnn. DR.. Eduard David
and their associates in the Socialist
majority party are not sincere in their
advocacy Of the policy of no anneXa-
tions and no indemnities. The news
paper contends they have taken up this
cry merely under the pressure OF the
seeding Socialist minority and the
revolution in Russia.
II cites extracts from earlier utter
ances Of DR.. David and Herr Schiede-
mann and decisions reached in party
caucuses TO prove that the majority
previously advocated both annexations
and indemnities.
The "Volks Zeitung" asserts that the
Radical Socialists are the only genuine
opponents Of peace without anneNa-
tions or indemnities, that their efforts
20 commit the party TO this doctrine
and 70 force Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, by means Of interpretations,
TO show his hand and disclose his terms
were throttled constantly by tn So
cialist majority. and that the Radicals
finally were read out of the party for
refusing to vote for the war credits
and budget as protest against the
annexationist attitude OF the Chancel-
Tor and the non-Socialist parties in the
Rcichstag.
Commenting on the declaration OF
the semi-ofFicial "Norddeutsche Allge-
meme Zeitung" last week regarding
the possibility of peace with RUSSIA,
the "volks Zeitung" says this peace
offer will fail Of its object, because
the Russian people. which in It's ma
jority desires that the formula Of no

opinion understood 20 have been eX-
pressed by the Japanese government
in its reply to the American note IN
viting Japan to associate herself with
the action of the United States in ask
ing the rival factions in China to COM
pose their differences.
The Japanese reply gives courteous
recognition of the sincerity and high
mindedness of Americas motives IN
seeking to assist China. but sets forth
the belief that China is not endsn-
geied gravely. Moreover, it is said
conditions have changed since the
American note was presented, and
Japan therefore submits her belief that
it is not desirable that she forward a
note TO China similar TO that sent by
the United States.

last week that Japan had declined to
act in concert with the United States,
but no further intimation was given as
