The Great Neighbor
By JOSEPHUS DANIELS
Secretary Of the Navy.

The Red Cross recognizes neither party, nor
race, nor creed. It is worldwide in scope
and humane in purpose. 1t has no political
nor economic ends to serve It only asks
where it can be helpful to men and women
in distress afflicted by disease, overtaken
by some sudden disaster or caught in the
ordeal Of war. There it finds its place and
opportunity. There it springs to serve man
kind.
The Red Cross is the Great Neighbor,
it treats every man as brother, and asks
no return. If the world of toiling people is

Senate Unlikely
To Take Action
On La Toilette
Despite Criticism by His Own
State, No Move Is
E.xpected
IStuf Corvespontlencel

WASHINGTON, March T. Despite
the stinging criticism of Robert NJ. La
Toilette by the Legislature of Wis
consin, no action by the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, of
which Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, is
Chairman, is anticipated. The COM
mittee has shown no indications of a
disposition to press the case, and there
seems to be small likelihood that the
Administration will press the matter in
the Senate.
A word from the White House would
bring Senate action, relieving the com
mittee Of its jurisdiction over the mat
ter and inaugurating an investigation
by a specially designated body. But
this development is considered unlike
ly, because, according to current gos-
sip, the Administration is not anxious
to create situation which might call
for the testimony Of former Secretary
Of State Bryan.
On the other hand, in some quarters
it is believed that in due time Senator
La Toilette will himself ask for action
He may take advantage Of the attitude
of the Administration, it is stated, to
force a report giving him "clean
slate" AS the matter stands now the
sub committee to which the Minnesota
resolution was referred, has not re-
ported to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections.

Swami After O'Neil
Probes Exemption Charges
Against LAWYER

District Attorney Swami made prep
aratons yesterday to ask for grand
jury investigation into complaints
against Frank S. O'Ncil, former boxing
commissioner, alleging that he cxacted
fees ranging from $500 to $1,000 for
efforts to obtain exemption OF drafted
men at Yaphank from active service in
france.
Mr.. Swami took this step after qucs-
tioning Abraham Honing, a cloak and
suit maker, Of 14l Wcsc 'Iwcnty-sev-
enth Street, end Hanne Latner, engaged
in the same line, at 236 Fifth Avenue.
Both men have made atfidavits, filed in
the Supreme Court, in civil action to
recover $500 and 81 900 which they al
lege they paid to O'Neil last October
and November. Justice Whitaker has
directed O'Neil to show cause next
Monday why he should not be required
10 return the money to Honing and
Latncr.
Both men said they were taken to
O'Neil by a man named Samuel Auer-
bach IIoning said he gave $500 to
O'Neil, who gave him a written guaran-
tee either to get Honing's brother,
Philip, out of the army, or to have
him assigned to the quartermaster's IS
department within two months. Hon
ing said O'Ncil told him he was in
touch with all the army officers and
could get Philip into a soft berth.
Later. Honing said, O'Neil gave him a
promissory note for $500, maturing on
or before March 25. Latncr told Mr..
Swami 4 similar story regarding
O'Neils guarantee TO do the same for
his son, Isidorc, in the 3O8th Infantry
ut Yaphank. Latner said he gave
O'Neil 81 900.

The members of the committee were

Mexico to Delav
Oil Tax Decree
American and British Op-

Ruling Is Conhscatory

WASHINGTON, March 7.-McXico
has been requested by the American
government to delay enforcement oF
and reconsider its decree of last Feb
ruary % imposing heavier taxes on oil
producers and canccling oil leases
made since April 80, 1917. Both Amer
lean and English operators in the MeXi-
can fields have protested that the new
tax virtually was conliscatory.
AS large part Of the oil supply for
the British naval forces comes from
Mexico, any interruption Of the output
would be a serious obstacle in the con-
duct of the war against the Central
Powers. Consequently, both the United
States and Great Britain regard the
new decree as a subject for diplomatic
representation, particularly IN view of
the report that Mexican officials are de-
termined to enforce il Immediately.
