All Creeds United
For War Fund Drive
Women's Organizations Wipe
Out Lines of Distinction
for Joint EHors

Cooperation was the keynote Of the
meeting of delegates Of 500 Women's
war Work organizations Of Manhattan,
held at the Cosmopolitan Club yester-
day afternoon to discuss the plans Of
the drive for $250,000, which is to take
place the week of November II.
The get together" note was struck
by Dr. Marguerite Cockett, Of the Y.
NJ. c. A., who told of her work at Sa-
lonica and on the French front
"Relfgions and pre- JUDGES must be
merged in the fight for liberty" she
said, "and American women must stand
united behind the boys this winter.
which, peace or no peace, is going to
be the hardest winter of the war"
enthusiasm was aroused by Mrs.
Alexander kohut who represented the
Jewish Welfare Board. Back of her
on the wall hung posters of the seven
organizations taking part in the drive
the Y. M. c. A.. the Y. W. c.. A., the
War Camp Community Service, the
american Library Association, the
Catholic Women's War Council of the
knights of Columbus and the body she
herself was speaking for.
This drive was instigated at the
wish OF President Wilson. Perhaps he
had in mind that peace cannot come
before we have set aside all individual
lzations. From the moment that
cease speaking there is no Jewish d-
vision. We women are no longer Jews,
Catholics, Prote testants, but one group of
Americans fighting for liberty, democ.
racy and peace"
Mrs. William H. Hays, chairman of
the Women's Organization Division,
outlined the plans of the campaign.

Denies New York Jews
Support Bolsheviki
Louis Marshall Says East Side
Has Proved Patriotism by
Men and Money

The Tribune has received from
Louis Marshall, member of the Amer
lean Jewish Committee, statement
this newspaper Friday of the resigna-
tion of the Rev. Dr.. Judah L. Magnes
from that committee, which, in part,
follows:
at is not true that Mr. Schi-,' or
DR.. Magnes or Mr.. Dorf made any Of
the statements tributed to them in
the article. 1t is not true that any
body at the meeting indulged in criti-
cism Of the East Side Jews or stated
or intimated that they had accepted the
doctrines of Lenine and Trotzky. On
the contrary, / am satisfied that an
overwhelming majority of the East
Side Jews, and ] include the Socialists,
are and have always been opposed TO
the doctrines OF Lenine and Trotzky
and have no sympathy with the Boil
shevik.
Henry Sliosberg, one of the nobcst
of Russians and upon whom for many
years the American Jewish Committee
relied for advice and assistance in its
contest against Russian autocracy, was
brutally murdered by the Bolsheviki, as
have been many others of the Jewish
leaders of that unfortunate country
To insinuate. therefore, by innuendo
that the East Side Jews are BolsheviH
sympathizers, or that the American
Jewish Committee or any Of its mem
bers believe that such is the fact, is a
gross libel. AS one who has been an
active member of the district board
of the City of New York for the last
fifteen months, can say to you that
the East Side has been supplying its
full quota to the army and that its
record will stand comparison with any
other part of the country. can also
say. to you that. considering its tinsn-
cial means, it has been as liberal IN
subscribing to Liberty Loan bonds a
any section of our population."

Dairyman's Charges
Are Denied by Hoover

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover to-day telegraphed
to r. D. Cooper, president of the Dairy
mems League of New York, denouncing
messages Mr.. Cooper is alleged to have
sent throughout the country urging
Congressional investigation of the Food
Administrators dealings with the
dairy industry.
81 wish to state plainly that the
Food Administration is not intimdated
by such tactics," Mr.. Hoover's tele-
gram said, land l do not believe they
are supported by the responsible dairy
men of the country, whose proper in
terests we have at all times endeavored
to protect"
Pointing out that in New York the
Food Administration proposes a price
of Is cents quart for milk, the high
est ever paid there, Mr.. Hoover said
Mr.. Cooper's demands which would re-
suit in II cent milk, are based upon
an attempt to profteer and will react
upon the dairymen by decreased CON
sumption"

On the Screen
"Woman" Gives Film Ver-
sion of What That Sex
Has Done for Centuries

Until the last reel of "W oman," the
Maurice Tourneur picture which is at
the Rivoli this week. we were prepared
TO say that we liked it better than any
picture we had seen before.
Of course. if we had done so some
enc would rise up and say, ooh, but
did you see Birth of Nation'?" and
we would have TO say "No."
The theme of "Woman" is, frankly,
woman. 1t is a story done in episodes,
starting with Eve, then going to Messa
lima, and so on to the present time,
and in each episode it was proved be
yond doubt that woman is faithless
and shallow. Then the story comes
down to the present day to prove
either that all which has gone before
IS fallacious or that woman has i'm
proved.
If that is true, then she is much
more interesting in her medieval form,
for neither the prologue nor the cpl
ogue was at all up to the standard Of
The episodes.
We liked best the first episode and
the last, though the picture is wonder
fully beautiful in its entirety. Ethel
Hallor is vision of lovelness as Eve,
and the scenes in the Garden OF Eden
begear description. She is a coy and
fascinating Eve, too, and the stodgv,
unlnteresting Adam is dazed and
speechless in her presence. No wonder
lie did not refuse to bite the apple
when she urged 1t.
The second episode is the story OF
Messa lima and Claudius. Flore Revalles
and Paul Clerget are seen in this.
Then comes Heloise and Abelard
Diana Allen and Escamillo Fernandez
are seen in the leading roles, and the
tragic story is exquisitely done. AT a
critical pont in the story Hugo Riesen-
field stopped the music completely. NO
tune that ever was written could have
made the situation as tense as this
dead silence. 1t was master stroke.
Each picture we see of Enid Ben
nett we like better than the preced-
ing one. Her present vehicle, "When
Do We Eat 2" at the Rialto, is the most
amusing thing she has done. Who
ever did the titles contributed a great
deal to the enjoyment of the occasion
and helped out the characterlzations.
Soup" McCool and pug" Hennessy,
are types which are we'll known to any
one who knows his Rialto, and by that
We do not mean the Rialto Theatre.
Jack Nelson and Robert McKim are
delightful as these two gentlemen of
leisure. Enid Bennett is the young
woman whose query forms the title of
the story The reason she is so in
sistent is because she is playing Little
Eva IN number ten road company.
At the Broadway Charlie Chaplin
is seen in shoulder Arms" The
drama is "The Campbells Are Com
ing" This is story of the Sepoy re-
volt. 1t shows the siege of Lucknow,
the massacre of the refugees, the hor-
rors of the Black Hole of Calcutta
and scenes of open warfare. II. u.

Suffrage Pickets
Roughed' a Bit by
Washington Police
Attempt to Garry Banners
Into Capitol Results in
Wholesale Arrests
One Sent to Hospital
Women Kept in Guardroom,
and Friends Are Barred
From Seeing Them

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-Pickets in
tena upon gaining the Capitol steps
to-day, with banners attacking the
Democratic party, were "roughed"
bit by the Capitol police because they
offered resistance to their escort to
the guard room. Mrs. Annie Arniel
of Wilmington, Del, was hurt so badly
that she had to be sent to hospital.
The largest number Of pickets who
have ever been taken into custody at
the Capitol was confined in the guard
room to-day until the Senate ad
journed. The Senate discussion lasted
until after seven o'clock, and during
that time the women were not allowed
to see or communicate with any one
from the outside.
Among those who resisted the seizure
of her banner was Miss Alice Paul.
In forcing her to go to the guard
room the policeman who had her in
charge twisted her arm. According to
the police she swore at him in such
way as to astonish even policeman.
Mrs. Arniel. who was sent to the
hospital, was hurt when her banner
caught in a doorway. as the policeman
who had her in charge tried to march
her through the door. The stick Of
the banner snapped and she fell
through the door,
One of the members Of the Woman's
party tried to reach the imprisoned
pickets by going through an open
window into the court yard. She was

The nti-democratic banner was
carried in the demonstration by Miss
Edith Ainge, Of jamestown, N. Y, and
Miss Lucy Burns, of Brooklyn. 1t was
torn to shreds in the scufflc with the
police.

Drama
Big Chance Warmly
Greeted in Opening at
48th Street Theatre
By Haywood Broun.

"The Big Chance is play of the
school which American audiences like
best, which American actors play best
and which American dramatists, gen
orally speaking, write best. The state
ment does not imply that "The Big
Chance" is notable work. 1t con-
tains much amusing dialogue, chiefly
of the flip variety. Its characters are
interesting. although crudely drawn,
and many of its scenes are we'll devised
to obtain large measure of dramatic
intensity. In other words, "Thc Big
Chance" is that typical home product
a sentimental melodrama.
Moreover, in accordance with the
general rule, the sentiment is some
times as inept as the mclodrama is de-
lightfu. Although mclodrama, the
play has a distinct philosophy to i'm
part. This philosophy seemed to US
wrong headed, and so we could not like
all the sentimental flights which were
based on it. Mary Nash as the heroine
sounded the keynote of the play when
anger moving to give men who have no
excuse to live decent chance to die"
That seemed to us rather Il small as
pect of the world conflict. One might
as we'll say that the French Revolution
was n glorious event because it gave
Sidney Carton a chance to do far.
far better thing than he had ever done.
If it were true that the war ennobles
every character which it touches even
the most righteous peace would seem
low ideal. War for wars sake ought
not to be a popular doctrine. When we
begin to talk Of the glory of the
trenches we ought not to forget that
Bernhard said it first.
ho O.
Chance" dealt in the rather pointed
badinage of some moderately soiled
New Workers, it was genuinely and
constantly amusing. Indeed, some Of
the humor was carried over to France,
as, for instance, the scene in which the
little racetrack tout, upon discovering
that his German prisoner has money,
exits with the inquiry, "Did you ever
shoot craps? A minute later the
American is back into the dugout to
inquire "How much is pfennig in
American money!? There was a fine
thrill. too. in the scene in which the
girl stands beside the field telephone
and hears the roll read of those who
died in the raid in which she knows
her lover has participated.
The play concerns the regeneration
brought to woman and four men by
the war. Mary Nash plays the slightly
outcast woman with fire and intensity,
Willard Mack is a mellow and engag
ing 1rishman. We thought his per-
Torrance the best in the play. Kath-
arine Harris, Anna Mack Berlein and
William 4. Meehan handled humorous
characterizations admirably, and John
Mason did all that was to be done in
sma II role. The audience gave the
new piece one of the warmest greet
ings which any play has received this
season.

Miss Alice Paul recently announced
10 Idaho suffragists that from an in

quarters she believed that he would
vote for the amendment the next time
it was brought up. Senator Borah has
been against woman suffrage Tor years,
hut in accepting the nomination for
Senator this fall he also accepted the
suffrage plank of his party.
Senator Borah could, if he wished
80 be technical, withhold his vote for
woman suffrage until the next Con-
Sress, since the platform he accepted
six years ago did not include the
woman suffrage plank. But Miss Paul
believes from her conference with him
that he will date his support of woman
suffrage from his acceptance OF the
platform and not bubble over whether
he is bound from the date of the next
term or the date of his acceptance.
Suffrage workers want to bring the
amendment up in the December ses-
sion, because if it goes over until the
next Congress it will have to be

Tho Link Between
Beer and Deutschtum

Seco,,d-The brewing interest has
had definite, provable and large con-
nection with the pro-German, anti
American and disloyal propaganda in
this country. 1t was admitted in the
hearings last spring before a sub-com-
mittee of the United States Senate
Committee on the Judiciary that the
United States Brewers Associations
propaganda machine, the National AS
soclation of Commerce and Labor. had
provided more than $4,000 in three
years for the National German-Ameri-
can Alliance. The latter is, or was, the
chief mover in pro-German, anti Amer
lcan propaganda for years, even before
the European war broke out, and its
| charter was revoked by Congress on
proved charges of anti-Americanism
and disloyalty. SO far as the hearings
show, the sum thus given was at lsast
half of all the funds available for the
German-American Alliance during that
period.
Third d-Money provided by the brew
ing interest was used directly during
the critical period imme diately preced-
ing our entrance into the war to revive
"The Bulletin" Of the GermanAmeri
can Alliance, the organ of its disloyal
campaign, and while the brewers we're
thus paying for "The Bulletin" it con-
tinued its disloyal utterances. .

Music

Harry Anderton, who gave recital
Yesterday afternoon at Aeolan Hall,
is pianist who possesses certain
straightforward vigor. which was at
least understandable in the MacDowell
group and especially in the Sonata
Traiica, but which, unrestrained by
poetic dellcacy, brought more pain
than pleasure when he essayed Chopin
and Debussy. Mr.. Anderton apparently
revels in fortissimo, but even here he
loses in true sorority, and in his ap.
proach to the Chopin nocturne and
etude, which were on his programme
Yesterday, he seemed unable to curb
his tempestuous spirit. However, he
evidently does possess a rhythmic
sense and a fairly adequate technical
equipment, and in their places these
might prove valuable. He was listened
to and applauded by an audience of
excellent size.
In the evening Miss Augusta Cottlow,
who is an old acquaintance among the
pianists, gave a recital also at Aeollan

its interest for pianists It's technical
difficulties, notably in the fugue, are
stupendous and give the virtuoso an

powers. Miss Cottlow's technical
prowess is unusual, and she carried off
the fugue with brilliant effect. Her
