against militarism and aid to Lathu-
ania in obtaining its independence
after the war, were pledged by 5000
Lithuanians who opened a. tWo-day
convention here yesterday.
At one time, when 1t appeared that
the convention might split on the
question OF whether prayer should
be introduced at the meetings, q
delegate who is serving with the
national army at Camp Dix, rushed
upon the stage and ended the debate
by charging that this quarrel here
today is the result of German spies.
Later other delegates expressed the
opinion that German agents were
attempting to break up the conven-
ton because of its loyalty to the
United States.
The convention then proceeded to
form a permanent organization Of
the 100000 to 100000 Lithuanians in
and local soviets in every city hav-
ing a Lithuanian colony
Resolutions we're adopted prais-
ing President Wilson for "his UNI
firing labor for the liberation OF
small and oppressed nationalities,
and asking him to consider action
which will bring freedom to Lithu-
ania. Another resolution pledged
the aid Of Lithuanians in this coun-
try in the next Liberty loan and Red
Cross campaigns.
After one spectator had asserted
that invaded Lithuania had suffer-
ed as much as Belgium, several reso-
ludons were presented urging upon
the allies and neutrals, as well as the
United States the necessity for OBJ
tanning independence for Lithuania.
These resolutions probably will be
today.
