PROBE OF SUBSIDIZED
PRESS Charge DELAYED
House Sidetracks Demand for Inquiry
Into Alleged Selling Out to Allies.

Representative Moore, of Pennsylvania,
yesterday sought unanimous consent OF
the House of Representatives for the con-
sideration of his resolution of inquiry into
the charges that twenty-five great Amer
lean daily newspapers had been subsi-
died to support the Allied cause, the
milltarisic propaganda, and certain finan-
cial policies. Immediate consideration
was blocked by Chairman Dent, of the
Committee on Military Affairs, who re,
fused to have the Army appropriation bill
held up in this fashion.
The charges against the newspapers
were first registered by Representative
Galloway, a pacifist Democrat of Texas.
Galloway had asserted that the twenty
Ave papers were bought and paid for
by the month" and their news and edi-
torial departments supervised by rep
resentatives of the House Of Morgan and
other Wall Street interests.
Mr.. Moore asserted that his resolution
was predicated upon a desire to further
the interests of clean Journalism. CAL
laway has studiously refused to disclose
the source of his information as to the
alleged perversion OF the press, but prom
ises that he will tell select committee
of Congress all about It.
Meanwhile the matter has gone over
until tomorrow, when Moore will make
another effort to obtain consideration.
There Is no enthusiasm for the proposed
investigation, and Rep. Adair, of Indiana,
summed up the attitude of the opposition
in the remark that the whole tale
smacked too much of Tom Lawson to
look very good to him"

Germans with British Titles

B. C. Y-The movement In England to
deprive the Duke Of Cumberland. the Duke
Of Brunswick and the Duke Of Albany Of
their English titles. and Prince Albert Of
schleswig- Holstein of his knighthoods Of ths
English historian order and that Of the
Bath, was the result of popular clamor. The
measure has already PASSED the House OF
Commons Lord Bryce spoke against It In
the House of Lords. There Is only one rea.
son for which these honors can be attainted,
and that is high treason. The princes aimed
at cannot be regarded as guilty Of high
treason. since they are none Of them Brit
ons but all Of them full-nedged Germans.
The Duke OF Albany abandoned his allie
glance to the English Crown when he left
Elton to become crown prince and shortly
afterward sovereign Of the German duchy
Of Saxe-Coburg- -Gotha, and has lived ever
since In Germany being German ruler.
The Duke of Cumberland has been out Of
his mind since the beginning of the war, has
never been an Englishman nor has ne lived
in ENGLAND. His only son, the sovereign
Duke OF Brunswick, 10 also German prince
ana was born and bred as such. The duke.
dom Of Albany and the dukedofn Of Cum
berland are hereditary honors. and dQ not
invest their holders with seats IN the House
Of Lords, nor with any other British prerog.
atives. Until they have given theif oath OF
allegiance to the British Crown and have

THE VOICE OF

SUFFRAGE AND SOCIALISM

To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-I have read with interest Mrs
Brooks letter in your issue Of the 10th,
in which she corrects your quotation Of
remark of hers and gives the correct state
ment as being 'the majority Of suffragists
are Socialists and in Socialism there is
neither patriotism nor religion" She then
proceeds to recite that "the Woman's
Peace party has indorsed woman suffrage
and the pacifists are all suffragists." Why
can it not also be stated that the National
Woman Suffrage Association and various
State woman suffrage associations have
offered their services to the Government?
Let us have the truth on both sides.
The suffrage question is a single political
issue, and among the believers in uni
versal suffrage one naturally finds Social
lists, pacifsts and follower Of other doc
trines, just as one finds pacifists among
Republicans and Democrats. That the
majority Of suffragists are Socialists is
open to grave doubt to a thinking mind.
Were a majority Of the nearly 100000 men
who voted for woman suffrage in this State
Socialists?
That socialism may seem idealistic and
MED. But to condemn a movement and
give as one reason I credit Mrs Brock
with other and better ones) that the ma
jority Of its followers, which is more than
doubtful, are Socialists seems puerile
Did not the European Socialists rally
to their countrys call? Is II not tho Ger
man Socialists who have constantly striven
to reform our common enemy-a Hohen-
zollern-ridden Germany?
One might urge that liquor is opposed
to woman suffrage. But what is the Use
They are, Independent issues. LIQUOR Is
not, as rule, for clean politics and good
government. Women. as a class. suffer
the horrors OF the abuse Of liquor and have
right to feel keenly on that subject. hut
are all suffrage States prohibition ones
also?
The suffrage issue stands on its own
merits or faults and not on the varying
views of its advocates. Let us not con,
fuse the two with sophistry. G. p

OLD GLORY IN EUROPE

EUROPEAN experts and our own
II agree that II our army is needed in
