Crisis of War Here,
Henderson Declares

LONDON, Thursday, March 14.-The
most critical stage of the whole history
Of the war has been reached, in the
opinion of Arthur Henderson, secretary
of the Labor party, which not -ong ago
at Mr.. Henderson's suggestion Endorsed
the Bolshevk principles. Speaking in
London at a woman sutfragist celebra-
ton to-day, Mr.. Henderson said:
81 have been imagining during the last
few days, having regard to what has
taken place in Russia, that some Ger
man emissary might come along and
say: Why do we fight? Why cannot
we settle it? We are prepared to come
to compromise with you regarding
colonies and we are prepared TO make
considerable concessions to France with
reference to AlsaceLorraine.
THAT would be a cynical peace, con-
tanning the seeds Of future war. 1t
would not be clean peace, and it
would not be an honorable peace. 1t
would be desertion Of Russia, and the
women of this country must stand
against it like flint.
1--WE are anxious for peace, and the
sooner it comes the better. But let me
the ideals for which we entered the
war. No one deplores more than l the
collapse of Russia, but believe that it
does not represent a majority of the
Russian people. The Russian people
were very anxious for peace. am

speech that have made or in any sug.

to that in Russia.

Women Doctors Want
More Clinics Abroad

Two thousand women physicians,
with their aids in the American Wom-
ems Hospitals organization, will inau-
gurate on March 26 a drive to raise
funds throughout the country for the
establishment in the Allied countries
of clinics stated entirely by women.
Temporary headquarters for the drive,
which will continue ten days, we're
established yesterday at GIG Madison
Avenue, with DR.. Gertrude A. Walker
as chairman of committee which in
Philip Lydig and Mrs. James Lees
Laidlaw
The women's hospitals are intended
to serve the women and children, in
Guiding dependents of soldiers, in the
devastated regions of Europe. They
will also care for wounded and disabled
fighting men.
A statement issued yesterday by DR..
Walker says that to enable women ply
sicians and surgeons to go abroad in
large numbers an immense fund is
necessary, and the womanhood of
America is called upon to respond. The
need for help is said to be especially
great in Italy, Serbia and Palestine.
Among the New York women who
have volunteered for the campaign are
Miss Emily Butler, Mrs. Z. NJ. House,
Mrs. Henry Wise Wood, Mrs. Z. j..
Putnam. Mrs. Marcus Marks, Mrs.
Frederick Gotthold, Mrs. L. B. Stillwell,
Mrs. George Plmpton, Mrs. Louis Sea-

Blamed for Tales
Of Army Drinking
j. A. Whitmore, Back From
Front, Praises Americas
Fighting Men

"By their moral conduct, their obedi-
ence to discipline and their cheerful
ness under hardships, the American
soldiers now in France are an inspir-
ing example to the soldiers of all the
Allies. The stories circulated at home
that our soldiers abroad are succumb-
ing to disease, liquor and detection
are part Of the subtle pro- German
propaganda which is spread in this
country for only one purpose. That
purpose is to alarm the parents of our
boys and to discourage more Americans
from going to France"
SO declared James A. Whitmore, who
recently returned from the front, in
an address delivered yesterday before
500 members of the Lawyers Club, lis
Broadway. AS field ngent of the
National War Work Council, Mr.. Whit
more lived for weeks among the Ameri-
can, French and British soldiers. The
gist of his experience is, THE Ameri
can soldier is to-day the greatest in
low soldiers from the Allied countries
have"
try that America will win this war;"
continued Mr.. Whitmore. but | want
to tell you that America alone will not
win this war. 1t will be won only by
all the Allies fighting together. When
| returned here from abroad I was
shocked by the lack of realization
war means. The tendency here seems
to be to think of it for time md then
to say: We'll. on with the dance, let
JOY be unconfned.' That is a pity We
will have to wake up.
mo doubt many American parents
have been made uneasy by this Ger
man propaganda that our boys in
France are addicted to all sorts of i'm
morality Let me cite an instance to
set them at ease. In Paris the Y. M
G. A. has charge of hotel where $50
American soldiers are accommodated
nightly. Most of the men who sleep
there come to Paris on leave and can
do as they please. l was ten days in
that hotel, and never among the $50
American accommodated nightly did
see one man come in under the inhu-
ence of liquor.
"As for their physical condition, the
American troops are as clean and
healthy body Of men as you could
find anywhere in the world"
William Allen Butler, president of
the club, appealed for enlistments in
the newly reorganized 7th Regiment,
The old regiment is now known as the
10th Infantry in the regular army.
The new regiment, Mr.. Butler said. is
to be used for home defence. and ef-
forts are being made to increase the
present membership of GEO men to 900.
The Rev. Isaac J. Lansing spoke on
The Antagonist of German Political
Philosophy to Christian Truth and
Morals" He described as "a vain
dream" any hope that the German peo-
pie would revolt against the Kaiser. and
asserted that all factions in GERMANY
were united with the military party to
make Germany ga pirate among na-
tions, murderer, a monster.o

ment founded upon the conditions and
situations which we find and which OBJ
tain here, not elsewhere.
"The question, Has the American
labor movement as indicated or stated
by Mr.. Kellogg-has the American labor
movement Jagged behind? l repeat, SO
that there may be no misunderstanding,
that if we had had time, the informa ton
or invitatio had come to us in time,
there is no question but that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor would have
been represented at the inter-Allied
labor conferences of February 20 in
London.
81 am not going to encourage my fell
low countrymen in a discussion of peace
when there is no peace possible. If
ever the present day pacifsts have been
confounded the situation in Russia is
their answer.
"To talk peace now is playing the
German game"
Describing the wage adjustment
agreements with the government as
better than anything the workers of
Allied countries had been able to OBJ
tain, Mr.. Gompers said these did not
appeal to "tke intellectuals" because
they are near home" and they have
not dictated the course and policy of
labor
u am not" said Mr.. Gompers, "going
to give up voluntarily the labor move
ment, with its achievements of to-day,
to look for the chimcrial tomorrow. I
think the greatest, the most radical,
the most idealistic and the most fan
tastical declaration which any body of
men has made has been made by the
Bolsheviki of Russia. And they have
lost not only the meat from the bone,
but the bone itself, md have not even
the shadow.
Same Old Stockholm Affair
Mr. Walling began by declaring that
the acknowledgement conference now
proposed is "the same old Stockholm
affair, and Mr.. Kellogg knows it. 1t is
the same conference which President
Wilson denounced to which they now
propose asking him and Mr.. Gompers
to send delegates"
"Mr. Kellogg" he said Claims the
purpose of these revolutionary paci-
fists is to drive wedge between the
German government and the German
people. What they actually propose
to do is to drive wedge between the
eminent, between the people of Eng
land and the British government, be-
tween the French people and the
French government"
After luncheon the National Civic
Federation reelected it's executive COM
mlttee and adopted resolution urging
the organized workers and employers
of allied countries to form joint coun-
ellis. Another resolution asks the
League for National Unity to appoint
committee to outline "a solid basis
for industrial reconstruction as will
be necessary after the war;"
Closing the meeting, Mr.. Gompers
announced that the American Fedora
ton of Labor will shortly send dele
cation to England and France

Speaking before the National Civic

clared that the labor movement of

Repudiates Peace Drive
Mr.. Gompers's address was at once
an answer to the "radicals-intellect

clsed American labor for its refusal TO
take part in the various peace confer
ences, and the def of organized labor

obtaining American delegates to an
acknowledgement Socialist and labor
conference to be held in Switzerland to

Bethmann-Hollwe Admits
Asking for French Forts

AMSTERDAM, March 16.-In an in
terview published in the "Neueste Mach
richten," Of Berlin, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg admits the truth Of the state
mcnt made recently by Stephen Pichon,
French Foreign Minister, respecting
Germany's attitude toward France at
the time of the outbreak of the war.
M. Pichon said that on July 81, 1914,
DR.. Won Bethmann-H ollweg, then the
German Chancellor, instructed Baron
Won Schoen, Their German Ambassador at
Paris, to demand that France, if she
desired to remain neutral in the war
between Russia and Germany, should
hand over to Germany, as a guarantee
of neutrality, the fortresses Of Toul
and Verdun, to be occupied until after
the war.
DR.. Won Hollweg says:
"The Russian general mobilization
furnished indisputable proof that those
factors which welded power in Russia
over the head Of the Emperor desired
war in all circumstances. My instruc-
tons to Baron Won Schoen on July 81,
1914, have been brought to light But
what have these instructions to do with
Russian mobilization and the attitude
of France? Russian regiments were
on the march before these instructions
were written, and the French govern
ment had no knowledge whatever Of
these instructions when replying to our
questions as to whether, in case of war
with Russia, it would remain neutral.
"The French government simply de-
clared it would do what the interests
of France demanded. 1t is we'll known
that these instructions were never acted
upon; consequently they had not the

German and Czech
Deputies in Scume

COPENHAGEN, March 16-Czech
and German members of the lower
house of the Austrian Parliament en-
gagged in wild scuflle, in which several
were injured Thursday, during a speech
by the Czech Deputy Soukop, accord
ing to a Vienna dispatch to the "Ham-
burger Fremdenblatt." The disturbance
became SO serious that the chairman
had to dissolve the sitting.
Deputy Soukop complained that
Prague, the capital of Bohemia, had
been for several days without food, in
Guiding potatoes. deputy Wolff, a Ger
man member, jumped to his feet and
shouted:
"The Czechs have not given out
proper quantities Of food. The Czechs
will starve us. They are the allies of
the British"

interrupted by Deputy Rydiaziz, a
Czech, who threw him 70 the floor

"This is not the Presidents war;" he
continued, cit is the war of the Ameri
can people. We stand behind the
President, not as an individual, not as
a party leader, but because he, for the
time being, represents the American
people. True patriotism in times like
these should be evidenced not in mere
empty professions Of loyalty, but in
making that loyalty count in the actu-
al winning of the war. Can that be
done best by an attitude of fawning
servility to those in the seats of the
mighty, or by constructive criticism of
our shortcomings and suggestions of
improvements"
In presenting the bill Majority Lead
er Kitchin said the government must
go to the rescue of many industries
and that no present agency has the
necessary authority. The finance cor
poration plan, he said, created the
agency needed.

mo one could seriously doubt that
we had not only to fight against the
Russian mobilization, but also to fight
France. The Russo-French alliance had
sufficiently shown by the attitude
adopted by both countries during re-
cent decades that any war would be,
for US, a war on two fronts, and fu1-

when the instructions were sent to
Baron Won Schoen. but, precisely on
the eventuality that perhaps France
would professionally make a declaration
of neutrality which, however, could not
be relied upon permanently, and that
under the cover Of her apparent initial
neutrality she might complete her
preparations in order at moment
when we were deeply engaged in the
East to fall upon us.
British Guarantee Asked
81 do not need to point out in what
a desperate position we should have
been placed in such a contingency.
Only a neutrality which was securely
guaranteed could afford us protection
against such an eventuality.
81 would also like to remind the
French statesmen that Germany pro-
posed yet another form Of guarantee
for Frances neutrality not in any way
connected with the unfulflled sinstruc;-
tons. When the prospect opened,
which unfortunately rested upon mis-
understanding, of the war being re-
strcted, through Great Britain's medi
alton, to the East, we expressly declared
that a declaration of Frances neutral
ity would offer US a complete security
if guaranteed by Great Britain"
