ated small nationalities in middle Eu-
rope gave thanks yesterday afternoon

cathedral, offered prayer that the
new natlonalities be successful in their
attempt at establishing democratic
governments and in finding sincere
leaders.

ltles represented by their banners, but
hags OF teh nations to whom they owed
their freedom were also carried The
Cathedral was filled to capacity, and

were turned away.

into the Cathedral and made brilliant
lane of bunting, along which Bishop
Greer and his attendant clergy passed
on their way to the altar. High above
all other ensigns an acolyte, in white
sulplice. held the Stars and Stripes.

Secretary of War Baker and "unneces-
sary red tape" in the War Department
He was reappointed to Office following
the inquiry of last December. Follow
ing the investigation the Ordnance
Bureau was wholly reorganized. though
General Crozier still remained as

In connection with the ordnance in
vestigation in Congress in December

in letter to Judge Augustus n. Hand,
of the United States District Court Of
New York in June. 1916, had appealed
in behalf Of Captain Hans Tauscher,
former Krupp agent in America, who
was on trial for conspiracy in connec-
ton with the blowing up Of the We'll
and Canal, expressing a favorable
opinion Of the defendants ''integr;ty
and reliability" Although the letter

Mrs. Mary Lilly to
Press Bill at Albany
to End Execution of
Minors; Wants Whit
man to Save Boy or
Let Smith Do So

Asserting that the Paul Chapman
case has convinced her of the necessity
of amending the law, Mrs. Mary Nj.
Lllly, elected TO the Assembly from the
fth District at the last election, an
nounced last night that one of her first
official acts as Albany will be to intro
duce bill prohibiting capital punish
ment for minors
Mrs Lilly declared she fears the
State of New York may make "the big
mistake of executing Paul Chapman"
ana tnat she intends to bend every
effort to safeguard against a similar
situation arising in the future.
Il cannot see why we should execute
boy of sixteen. even though he were
actually guilty of MURDER" she said.
The only possible excuse for such a
step would be that his execution might
act as deterring influence on other
boys. but doubt if even that excuse
has weight
Blames Boys Companions
''For ten years was head of an
disciplinarian, and | made study of
children. The normal child is rarely
bad and usually the sub-normal child
can be made normal by the proper care.
Il believe that if Paul Chapmans
history could be traced it would reveal
that he was a sub-normal child and
was dragged down by evil companions
and influences. He is young enough to
be turned into the right path. To ex-
ecute him seems like taking revenge
on a child for something for which he
was not responsible.
~ hope Governor Whitman will
commute his sentence, or at least give
him a long enough respite to give
Governor Smith the opportunity of do
ing so.'
In addition to her efforts to have
amended the law which makes it posi-
bic for a boy to be executed Mrs. Lilly
said she intends taking up the entire
criminal problem on scientific basis.

Yvette Guilbert made public last
night an open letter to Governor Whit

$500 a Year Needed
Mother and Six Children Are
Without Support

The memory of the terrible epidemic
of influenza is still vivid in the home
of Mrs. Dawson" The entire family
was confined to bed at one time, and in
quick order the father died, then the
oldest daughter, who had been big
help to her mother, and finally the
baby, fat, chubby little fellow who
knew very little of this world.
The mother, who has borne eight
children, is prostrated with grief.
Neighbors advised her to send her re-
naming children to institutions, so as
to get rest and quiet for while, but at
even the thought of this she becomes
more agonized. The home is good
one and ought to be kept together until
the oldest boy, aged eleven. is of work
ing age. Not less than $500 year
must be raised to provide a weekly
allowance for food and other necessi-
ties. Large or small contributions
may be sent to the Brooklyn Bureau of
Charities, 60 Schermerhorn Street,
Brooklyn, marked for O395 TR."

False Light

BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 24.-Radical
newspapers continue to criticise Bit
terly the resignation of Or. Romulo S.
Naon as Argentine Ambassador to the
United States, declaring that he has
put President Irigoyen in false light

in long editorial, says that DR.. Naon's
proposal in February, 1917. that ar
international conference be held in
Madrid for the purpose of averting
war between the United States and
Germany, instead of being of service
to the Entente was the best thing he
could have done to further German
designs, and that acceptance of the
proposal would have entirely separated
Argentina from the Entente.
The editorial declares that DR.. Naons
proposal was nothing else than that
Argentina should traffic it's neutrality
for material advantages.
