U. S. DECLARED MEMBER
OF FAMILY OF NATIONS
Senator Lewis Asserts Country No
Longer Can Be Regarded as an
Isolated Unit of Civilization.


NEW YORK. January 19.A"The, time
has gone by when the United States
can be regarded as an isolated unit
Of civilization. separate in its destinies
from those of the world" Senator
James Hamilton Lewis OF Illinois told
the Credit Mems Association of New
York at the Hotel Astor here last
night.
Senator Lewis said that the future
credit or America VIII depend upon the
terms Of peace agreed on by the war
ring nations abroad. and their relation
TO the United States
Nations are like people and individ-
uals. said Senator Lewis and their
interests remain solely among them
selves only when they of themselves
have no necessity of association and
intercourse with other people When.
however. science has increased inst
mentalities. and industry enlarged on
portunities which contribute to the nu-
tual development of all countries alike
and through these the relationship of
commerce, finance and interdepcndent
prosperity arise land flourish. then all
nations bearing these relations TO each
other are as one common family. The
disruption of any part is an injury
20 the whole.
We know now that no part of the
earth can prevail in any great UNDER
taking that does not touch America.
that the rising waters OF conflict or
progress in any part of the world are
either baptism of blessing upon
America or flood OF misery.
The United States has entered the
era OF change. This change has been
the ceremony OF time that has welded
this republic as spouse to the earth
and in this she is to exact future fidelI-
TIES from all the new created family re-
latfons. while she will perform in re-
turn her plighted obligations"

:UNNEUTRAL CHARGES
WITHDRAWN BY GERMANY
Minister Vopicka Will Probably Be
Granted Leave of Absence to
Avoid Embarrassment.

Germany has withdrawn her charge of
unneutral conduct against Minister
vopicka, accredited to Rumania, Serbia
and Bulgaria, it was announced today
at the State Department.
An explanation of the full facts in
the charges of Cnneutral conduct was
made TO Germany, which proved salts
factory.
1t is probable that Minister Vopicka,
now in Berlin, will be granted leave of
absence, which he reqeSted many months
ago, and to which he is entitled, in order
to avoid any embarrassment in sending
him TO his post at the Rumanian capital
at JasSy, Just after gaining considerable
military information in his trip through
the central empire.
In Accord With International Law.
The removal of Minister Vopicka from
Bucharest was explained by Germany
to have had nothing to do with the
previous charges of unneutral conduct.
but to have been occasioned by the in
sistence of the military authorities that
all neutral diplomats be withdrawn.
This is in accord with international
law, as. the diplomat is accredited to
the government and not to the locality.
All other neutrals have left except the
Persian minister, who is to go shortly.
Who will care for American interests
in the occupied part of Rumania and
for the CALLED legations and interests
intrusted to Minister Vopicka on the
withdrawal of the allied diplomats. has
not been decided. There is no Ameri-
can consul resident nearby. and it is
probable that special agent with
consular rank will be dispatched short
~ by the department.
Minister Vopicka has sent an en-
phatic denial of German charges that
he was unneutraI in favor of Rumania
He asserted. that he had not exceeded
the bounds of his Office. srs ~
