1898 MEN KILLED, IS
NAVY'S LOSS IN WAR
Surgeon General Points to
Need Of Hospitals.
spsrial DespateA 70 TEE suN.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Naval cas-
ualties during the entire war exclud-
ing the Marine Corps, which was In
corporated in the land forces, and eI-
elusive of those who died of disease,
numbered 1898. This was reported to
the House Naval Committee to-day by
Surgeon General William c. BREASTED.
Practically all OF the deaths in the
navy included in the figure named
were due to combats with German sub
marines.
The most important tasks still lie
ehead Of the medical branch OF the
navy. Admiral BREASTED said. In taking
care Of the sick and wounded and ex-
tending some aid to the army in this
work. AS the wounded and sick men
are brought home from France, the
Admiral pointed out, the work OF the
Medical Corps will be greatly in
creased. Already all naval hospitals
in the United States are filled, some
crowded. Hospital facilities at Nor
folk are taxed so that II Is probable
the Navy Department may have to
commander homes TO house sick mer
being sent home.
Hospitals in New York. Philadelphia
and Baltimore may have to be called
on for aid, too, he said. Work is beinc
rushed on new hospital buildings ant
some buildings built for totally differ.
ent purposes are being so changed
that they can be used for that purpose

chairman Of the $5.ooo.o 900 campaign,
presided and introduced Abram Elkus,
who instroduced DR.. Lowenstein.
In addition to describing the havoc
wrought by the war the speaker re-
vealed certain abuses which he said
were far older than the war, such as
vermin infested asylums for the poor
which the good Jews of America had
been supporting with the best inten-
tons and might have gone OH helping
indefinitely had not the war commits
sions discovered them aiding refugees.

DR.. Lowenstein said. You have been
sending money to these institutions,
but now is the opportunity to put q
stop to those shameful practices.

a sick old woman, too feeble to move
herself, was allowed to remain for days
in bed unspeakably foul. which was
not changed till a physician who had
been sent from New York discovered it
and threatened to inform the authoTi-
ties.
I'm in this last week I have seen an
appeal <sent to New York for that
asylum. with the names Of New York
people in the letterhead. an appeal for
the alleged 400 old people, when IN
reality there isn't room for half that
number.
II saw an institution for children,
many OF them girls. that had only ono
woman servant. They had seven Sec
retaries. paid to send out appeals"
DR.. Lowenstein spoke with praise Of
the British Zionist Commission which
has had charge OF the relief work in
Palestine. He told OF the refugee
camps that had been established.

9th Division Gave 1000 Officers.

BY an unfortunate misquotation
from letters received from abroad II
was made to appear in THE SUN yes
terday that New York's Seventh Regi-
ment had contributed more than 1000
officers over and above what 1t con-
tributed to the Twenty-seventh Divi-
sion, of which it is a part. The state

Calls Attention in Reply to

PLANS FOR RESTORATION
Withdrawal of Roads From
Federal Control Left to
Committees.
sp,cial Dsspatoh 10 Tsr suS.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 26.-S. Davies War
field. president Of the National Asso-
citation of owners of Railroad Securi-
ties. replied to-day to the statement
OF Samuel Rea, president Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. in which Mr.. Rea
said that precipitate action with re-
gard to moving for a restoration Of the
roads to their owners should not be
taken at this time.
Unfortunately said Mr.. Warield.
Mr. Rea appears not to have read
carefully the statement that he appar-
emily criticises. Only general condi-
lions for the return Of the railroads
were discussed by me-"
He quoted from his statement to
show that he had urged that "as
prompt action be taken as the impor-
lance Of the subject permits"
Plan for Committees.
"If Mr.. Rea regards this plan of ac-
ton as 'preclpitate' we do not agree
with him. Furthermore. the $50 men
composing the various committees on
the association, coming from nearly
almost every State in the Union and
three times as many cities, might be
safely entrusted with formulating sug-
gestions for the return OF the railroads.
The membership Of these committees
represents the best thought in the
financial. business. industrial and rail-
. % tA
other requirements and time OF return
might be also safely left TO the ad-
visory counsel headed by Mr.. Root and
his associates OF well known lawyers,
Messrs. Milburn. Miller. John"t" N
'3ond. and to. other counsel, Messrs.
Untermyer, Walter & Brown
plans for the return OF the rail-
roads will necessarily be comprehen
sive and far reaching. They will deal
not only with the question Of Gov
ornmental control and regulation I'M
/ der private ownership but also with
the financial structure OF the railroads
as they emerge from Federal control
back to private contol and operatiop
under such rules, regulations and laws
vs. the Congress may enact, and dis
cussion by the Congress of the return
OF the railroads will necessarily take
much time and bring out all possible
views on the railroad situation"
Answer to Untermyer.
Mr.. warfield was shown the state
ment Of Mr.. Untermyer in the morn
ing papers in respect to the desire OF
he latter TO see the railroads returned
under the Federal control act, alst
giving Mr.. Untermyer's personal views
connection with the settlement o.
he question OF Government owner
ship in the future and after the re
turn OF the railroads. Mr.. WarfielC
aid:
"Of course Mr.. Untermyer IS en-
titled to his personal views in connec
ton with the methods rightly to b'
'dopted in handling the two questions
involved. Since these are his persona
views 1t is not necessary to deal will
them particularly, as many Others
hold distinctly different opinions.
might say in passing that PERSONAL!

question will be settled in the name
indicated by my friend Untermyer."

Their Platform.
UNIVERSAL AMTTY AIM

The League of Free Nations Asso-
citation, recently formed here by a rep
resentative group Of editors. business
men, publicists and educators, issued
a statement Of principles yesterday in
which special emphasis is given to the
need for an international legislative
body. with members to be elected by
popular vote in each nation and not
appointed by national administrations
or Legislatures.
The league Is the outcome OF weekly
meetings that have been held during
the last six months, usually at the
City Club. Organization OF a tempo
rary executive committee has Just
been effected. At the head OF this are
Norman Hapgood, president, and Lin
coin Colcord, secretary. The. associa-
ton Is to have Its permanent head
quarters In the Bush Building, e13O
West Forty-second street.
In speaking Of the league, which is
claimed to be working In cooperation
with the league to Enforce Peace. but
In a somewhat different field, Norman
Angel, the English author, pointed out
yesterday what he believes to be the
particular essential In the securing of
international amity-a vital factor en-
phasized by the League of Free Ma
lions Association.
While the League to Enforce Peace
Is for league OF nations vested with
international policing duties, the
League OF Free Nations Association
seeks to go beyond this in the estab-
lishment OF an international parlia-
ment that would make the laws upon
which the decisions of a world tribunal
could be based

National security and equality OF
economic opportunity are two objects
especially dwelt upon in the associa-
TONS statement of principles. It says:
The following conditions are necessary
for anything approaching economic OPP
portunity as between nations:
No State shall accord to one neigh
Dor privileges not accorded to others"
Interference with the right of nations
to determine whether free trade or pro-
lection is to their best interests is not
intended in the meaning Of equality of
opportunity. -
States exercising authority in non:
lf-governing territories shall not ex-
ercise that power as a means OF Sc
curing privileged economic positions
for their own nationals" Economic
opportunity is to be open to all people
on equal terms. whether to those in
countries possessing great subject en-
pires or to those In nations possessing
none.
Goods and persons of the citizens OF
all States should he transported on
| equal terms on international rivers,
| canals. straits or railroads.
"Landlocked States must be guaran-
teed. access to the sea on equal terms
! both by equality OF treatment on COM
munications running through other
! States and by the use OF seaports."
The League OF Nations" states the
! associations declaration OF principles,
should not be an alternative to the
. use OF force, but the organization OF
force to the end that 1t may be effec-
tive for our common protection"
