Stokes Will Not
Follow Wife to
Socialist Party
Couple Prefer Separate In
terviews in Discussing
Political Theories

J. &. Phelps Stokes, who was So
Pastor Stokes, who wants to be So
cialist once more, sat side by side be-
fore cheerily blazing fireplace at their
home, 50 Grove Street, last night. In
the matter of political opinions they
were about as widely separated as
though an ocean had been between
them.
For nearly twelve years Mr.. and Mrs
Stokes had been working together
writing, lecturing, organizing, much of
the time for the cause of socialism
Even when it came to leaving the So
clallst party to go over to President
Wilson'S side in this war, they acted as
one. both resigning from the party
July 8. The parting of their political
ways came day before yesterday, when
Mrs. Stokes applied for readmission
into the Socialist party.
Mr.. Stokes Not Reconci!ed
Mrs. Stokes may be going back into
the Socialist fold, but there apparent
ly is not the slightest possibility of
her taking Mr.. Stokes back with her
Here is what Mr.. Stokes thought of
the Socialist party at 1926 o'clock
last night
II he Socialist party in the United
States," he said, "by it's determined I'd
opposition to Americas participation
IN the war, has done more to jeopar-
die the cause of humanity. has done
more to help a triumph of Teutonism
than any other factor"
1t was not in the presence of Mrs
Stokes that Mr.. Stokes spoke of the
party that his wife now hopes to rejoin
When reporter called Mrs. Stokes
excused herself, saying that she ane
Mr.. Stokes would outline their politica
opinions separately.
"Mrs. Stokes and l." continued Mr.
Stokes, "still have the same ideals. tn,
same aims, but we differ on the means
OF attaining them. l believe the wei
1are OF humanity can best be promoted
through the development Of democracy

That is why she wants to return to TIL,

Seditious Textbook
In Washington Irving
School, Says Gerard
German Reader Full of Teu-
ton Propaganda, Declares
Ex-Ambassador

Pro-German propagandists, by clever
manipulation, have placed a textbook
that embodies much seditious teach
ing in the Washington Irving High
School, James w. Gerard, former
Ambassador to Germany, charged last
night in an address delivered at the
school to $500 members of the Amer
lean Loyalty League Of Polish Descend
ants.
The book to which Mr.. Gerard re-
ferred, he said after the meeting, is a
German reader, written by Professor
Prokosch, of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Texas, in collaboration with a
teacher in one of the Milwaukee
schools.
81 found that this text book used in
this very school in which you are hold
ang your meeting-a book publishc d
slnce the war began-is full of pro-
German propaganda" Mr.. Gerard de-
clared.
"ln tsvery introduction it announces
untruthfuly shat the German union of
states is similar to the United States
government. And despite the fact that
the verest novice in international gov
ernment knows such a statement to be
untrue. it is being accepted as fact
and taught to the pupils of this
school"
One other excerpt from the. book
was given by Mr.. Gerard. 1t says the
Kaiser cannot declare war without the
Endorsement of his parliament.
"Can anything be more absurd?' the
former ambassador demanded. "The
war lord of Germany has been per-
mitted to declare so-called 'defen-
sive' war on his own initiative, anc
that was folcibly illustrated when this
great conflict began. He declared it a
defensive war, and his theory met
with no opposition. I hat is the sort
of book our children are being taught
TO read as the truth"

is described as critical in cable dis
patch to the food administration to-
day from Lord Rhondda, the British
Food Controller, which concluded with
these words:
81 view the situation with grave
anxiety"
The frank statement of the British
Food Controller recalled the significant
statement in Colonel Houses report of
the American MISSIONS work abroad,
which declared the Allies agreed to
comply with Americas insistence on
the control of foodstutfs. The House
report said:
an order to permit the United States
to visualize the problem of food con-
troll in North America, plans were
worked out whereby the governments
of Great Britain. France and Italy
agreed to put into effect a legalized
and compulsory control Of foodstuffs
in these countries"

to all persons except the very poor
and those doing hard manual labor
In Italy conditions are not as good
perhaps as in either England Or France

and other foods will be added as they
become scarcer. All of the principal
foodstutfs will be rationed by April.
"The food position in this country

without exaggeration be described as
I critical and anxious. AS | am now
unable to avoid compulsory rationing,

queues of people awaiting in the

town in England for the daily neces-

The Boches Jolted Them
And 1t Has Helped Them

We have not yet had the wisdom to
take things as they came and tell them
in just that way. For instance, the
Germans made highly successful
trench raid and captured American
prisoners with no great difficulty, be-
cause there was not the proper CO.
ordination between the American in
fantry and the American artillery The
men who were trapped in the trench
fought hard. but the whole affair was
distinctly d jolt for US. 1t had 3.
good effect on the men. 1t made them
mad and anxious to get back at the
Germans, but it lost this good effect
back home, because most newspapers
insisted on trying to twist the affair
around into an American triumph.
One, indeed, spoke of the attacking
Germans as having been driven off,
though they were, in fact, raids;s
whose object was to take prisoners

American Soldier Is a Good Fighter,
But Not the Miracle Man of Rebcrts

1t is difficult to see the Amer
lean soldier through the mass Of
material which has been written
about him. One correspondent writes
that "the green troops Of few months
ago have now become perfect soldiers"
Another is not sure that the American
soldier is perfect. After some refec-
ton he decides that good nature stands
between the doughboy and military
perfection. All this would be harm
less enough but for the fact that it
