PARIS, June 27.--President Poincare
and Premier Clemenceau to-day received
the Rev. DR.. Charles S. Mcfarland,
general secretary of the Federal Coun-
Gil Of the Churches of Christ in Amer
lea, who rendered a message Of SYM
pathy from the Christians of the
United States to the people Of France.
ut is a great pleasure to the French
people," said the President, "to re-
ceive a message from the Christian
'eople of America. Our people are
thoroughly convinced that it is a
Christian spirit that animates the mo-
tives of the American people in its
disinterested aid to the French peo-
ole"
eve are surprised and gratifed at
the rapidity with which America has
expressed its sympathy in concrete
form. Americas achievement has ex-
ceeded our greatest hopes" declared
premier Clemenceau.
Both the President and the Premier
told DR.. MacFarland that the Ameri-
can soldiers were popular in all parts
Of France, whether they were bilieted
at the rear or at the front.

Would Cause Massacre of
Christians, Says Treasurer
of Relief Committee
Germany Only Gamer
Asks Authors to Help $40, ,OOO,.
600 Drive for Relief Work
in "Near East

War with Turkey at this time would
result in the killing of Christians and
the loss of all American property in
the Ottoman Empire and would be a
great "msfortune," according to
Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer of the
American Committee for Armenian
and Syrian Relief, who spoke yester-
dey at a luncheon at the Aldine Club,
200 Fifth Avenue.
Mr.. Dodge called together about
one hundred prominent writer's, who
were asked to assist in a new drive
for $30,000,000, which the committee
will begin on November %. This
amount is to be in addition to SILL
900 which the committee has already
expended for relief in the Near East.
II sincerely hope the agitation for
war with Turkey will subside," said
MIR. Dodge. "War with that country
would pc folly. So long as we hold
the Turks under threat we can make
them behave But to declare war
would play right into the hands of
the Germans. Germany would COB
bic up everything we have there, oul
missionary property and our educa"
ticnal institutions; The Turks who ,yi
SAsN~ ~
would be annihilated."
Mr.. Dodge explained that the COM
mittee had decided to change its name
to the American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East, so that its work
might be extended to send relief to
the Greeks and the Persians. He said
that committee is now on its way
to Persia to report on conditions
there.
Mr.. Dodge said that eight authors,
fifty cartoonists and 632 publications
had agreed to assist in the propa-
ganda for funds.
Ellis Parker Butler, Of the Authors
League, presided. Abram l. Elks and
Henry Morgenthau, former ambassa-
doris to Turkey, appealed for imme-
date aid. Mr.. Elkus said that 2oo,-
coo children whose parents had been
killed or exiled needed food.
Gorg Roussos, Greek Minister to
the United States, speaking through
an interpreter, pictured Asia Minor
as being filled with starving people.
He said Greece was raising an army
of 100000 to assist the Allies.

somehow peace will come when Ger
many has finally assured herself that
she cannot capture or destroy the AL
lied and American armies on the West
front must now realize that the offer
that will be made then will come from
the German high command. which will
have to justify itself in the eyes Of
Germany for the immense costs that it
has inflicted upon the German people.
The offer will be inspired by the pan
Germanists and annexationists. And
it will not come from a country which
has been defeated, but from one which
has merely been stopped short of the
supreme achievement, for that is about
all that the Allies can hope to accom-
plish this summer.
The difficulty in the way of peace is
that Germany militarily is in the as
cendant, and is accordingly arrogant,
while the Allies have inexhaustible re-
serves in this country, and are there
fore in no mood to surrender. That
situation does not make for a nego'tiat-
ed peace. The retirement of Won Kuehl-
mann is merely a sign of Gcrmany's
arrogant mood.
Won Kuehlmann is punished for
venturing even to remind Germany
that diplomacy still exists. The pam
Germanists see world empire in their
| grasp. Deutschland will surpass an
cient Rome. 1t is from men with this
view that the world will hear when the
peace offensive comes at the height o1
the present military effort.

Officer Answers
Critics of Junior
Naval Reserve
Treasurer Denies Tha,
There Is Discord in the
Organization

Statements rejecting on the affairs
of the Junior Naval Reserve were chal-
lenged yesterday by Will L. Finch,
present treasurer of the organization.
Mr.. Finch, answering charges made
by Franklin Brooks, former counsel
for the reserve, denied that there was
any discord in the organization. He
insisted that affairs were in good shape
and that the plans for the conduct of
the reserve are being thoroughly and
consistently carried out.
Mr.. Finch admitted that several
prominent men had recently severed
their connections with the body, but
he ascribed their action to the activi-
ties of Mr.. Brooks, whom he accuses
OF having written to members of the
advisory board presenting the affairs
OF the reserve in an unfavorable light
and of sending communications to
creditors rejecting upon the condition
of the finances.
Referring to his connection with the
Town Development Company, which
had contracted to obtain funds for the
reserve on l2h per cent commission
basis, Mr.. Finch pointed out that Mr..
Brooks had shown it had cost the re-
serve about 40 per cent for every dol
lar raised.
II realized" he said. "that this was
an excessive amount for such an insti-
tuition. and agreed to undertake the
service on a basis of 1921 per cent.
This arrangement was made in the ex-
pectation that all the expenses in
Cured in the campaign would be paid
by the Town Development Company.
except the sum of $4,000, which Mr..
Brooks guaranteed would be paid by
certain persons whom he represented. !"
Mr. Finch added that the company
mad voluntarily relinquished all claims
Tor commissions months ago. He saw,
he said, that it would be necessary to
underwrlte the finances of the institu-
ton, and by assuming the underwrit-
ing. he was elected treasurer and di-
rector of the reserve.
When he took Office, Mr.. Finch stated.
he found more than 100 creditors,
whose claims aggregated nearly S4O,-
600, which claims, he added, Mr.. Brooks
had been employed to adjust.
"Mr. Brooks he said, from June
II, 1917, to March 81, 1918, drew from
the reserve in salary and expenses the
sum of $4,55o91, while the Town De-
velopment Company has not drawn a
cent in commissions or expenses"
Mr. Finch pointed out that the
Junior Naval Reserve was devoted to
carrying on nationwide propaganda
to attract the youth of the nation tc
seafaring careers, maintaining there.
