Ryan to Help Raise
Funds for the Vatican

Rome. Jan. 29.-An international
committee is to be formed to reorgan-
ize the finances of the Vatican, which
Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary OF
State, reports are in an alarming con-
dition. The committee, one Of whose
members is to be Thomas +. Ryan, Of
New York. Will be called upon to de-
wise means of obtaining funds. possibly
by the underwriting of q world wide
loan.
The Natican's usual sources OF reve-
tue. such as rentals from properties
and gifts from Mexico. Belgium
France, Austria and the United States
lave been reduced or cut off by war
conditions. At the same time Pope
Benedict daily expends thousands Of
dollars in war charities. including the
sending Of food and clothing to prs
oners of war in Germany and Austria
Appeals for contributions are received
in large numbers al the Vatican from
many countries.
Under the present system OF financial
administration the Pope acts as treas
urcr of the Vatican, having in his Office
a safe in which he deposits the funds
TO be disbursed. When the safe is
empty the Holy See nominally is bank
rupt.

WASHINGTON. Jan so Aubassa-

An anarchist newspaper published in

the Ambassador be SO held personally
responsible.
The State Department has received
information Of other threats of an

the Ambassador in his message to-day.

Thompson Gives
Bolsheviki Million
To Sway Teutons
New York Mining Man Thinks
Propaganda Autocracy's
: Worst Enemy

Colonel William B. THOMPSON, the
wealthy mining man. who vas in Petro-
grad from July until November as head
OF tie American Red Cross Mission
to Russia has contributed 81 .OOO.OOO to
the Bolsheviki for the purpose of
spreading their doctrines in Germany
and Austria. This he did in the belief
that by encouraging the Bolshevik
cause the greatest blow could be dealt
to autocracy
Colonel Thompson could not be
reached last night. but his Office at
Ia Wall Street confirmed the report
that he had given million TO the
Followers of Lenine and Trotzky. This
money has been used for spreading
propaganda which. it is said. has been
undermining the strength OF the Cen
ira Powers. Thousands Of pounds of
Bolshevik literature have been dropped
over the German. Austrian. Turkish
and Bulgarian lines by Russian avia-
tors
When Colonel Thompson returned to
this country he began at once to
espouse the cause of the Bolsheviki
and to complain that the Allies oy
scornng their efforts were driving
Russia into the arms of Germany.
Russia at the present time" he said
shortly after his arrival in the United
States, "is not anarchistic or lawless.
The despised Bolsheviki arc not and
never have been pro-German. The at
titude of the American press in failing
to understand them has tended to aid
the kaiser's cause. sincerely believe
that Russia is pointing the way to a
general peace

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Jan. 29.-The steamship Lc-
viathan, formerly the German liner
Vaterland, the largest af1oat, together
with fifteen other German ships seized
by the United States, has arrived safely
in Entente ports in Europe, it was an
nounced to-day
The announcement further stated
that the total tonnage of former Ger
man steamships ready for the hign
seas service, most of which are now
bringing American troops and material
to France. is approximately 100000.
These figures demonstrate the falsity
Of recent German claims, and the pub
lication of this information is permit
ted for that reason
The figures are authoritatively de-
clared to prove that Germany has been
deliberately circulating false reports to
belittle to her own people the assist
ance given to the Entente Allied cause
by this shipping. and thus to create
unjustified confidence in the German
submarines. Among the former Ger
man steamships which have arrived in
Entente Allied ports are these

No Proof That
Wilson Is Yielding

The hope OF yielding ON the part OF
the Administration must rest upon
frmcr grounds than this luncheon to
be impressive. Mr.. Baker appears to
incline toward public luncheons in
certain instances, and the present
arc such circumstances. He may have
wished to invite the Senator from Ore
gon back on the reservation. He may
have wished to reestablish such rela-
tions with the chairman Of the Military
Affairs Committee of the Senate. as it
is highly desirable should exist be
tween the Secretary of War and the
chairman Of that committee. Much
leg gislation affecting the War Depart
ment must, in the nature of the case,
SO through the Senate. 1t is necessary
that the head Of the War Department
and the head of the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs should talk that
logi Station over together to the point
Of mutual nderstanding.
The hope of the war cabinet rests
with the public. Both sides are want
ing to hear from home, anxious to
know how the country will take Mr..

By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON. Jan 80. The
luncheon of Secretary Baker and SEN
ator Chambc rlain took place at the res
taurant i'll the Capitol to day. They
discussed legislation cffecting the con-
duct Of the war.
Mr Chamberlain explained the need
Of munitions director and of war
cabinet as he saw it. He told the Sec
retary that the best informed witnesses
who had appeared before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee were agreed
that war cabinet and a munitions
director were needed. He instanccd the

Baker took away copies of the bills
1t is said that the Secretary did not
hold out to the Senator any reason for
believing that the Administration was
likely to yield on either of the nro-
posals.
MI Baker later told the newspaper
correspondents that he had "discusscd"
legislation with Mr.. Chamberlain. but
had not "discussed' the war cabinet or
the munitions bill, which would seem
to mean that he had not expressed his
opinion of the two measures

stance that Mr.. Baker took luncheon
