PENR0SE CHOICE
PRESACES SPLIT
Borah Says Progressives
Will Balk at Financial
Policy.

Senator Boies Penrose, of PennsyI-
vania, was given the chairmanship
of the Finance Committee py the Re-
publican Senators in open caucus yes
terday. lie received thirty-four votes.
and eight froSress!ves voted against
him. His election by the Senate to-
morrow is regarded as a certainty.
Penrose WIS awarded the coveted
craftsmanship after the Republicans
had been s0lcmnly warned By Sena-
tor Borah, OF Idaho. n Progressive,
that this action would cause a split in
the party. and that the Progressive
Republicans throughout the country
would not accept Penrose's leader
ship in matters o. financial Iegsla-
tion.
BoIah made these statements pub.
licly. his demand FOR the abandon
ment Of secrecy in the filling of inn
portant committee places having been
granted by Senator Lodge and the
other "Old GGar,I' leaders. He dis
claimed having any personal obiec-
tion to Ponrose, bu: insisted that the
Pennsylvania Senators record on
financial policies would not be ac-
ceptable. The same objection was
applied to the naming of Senator
Warren. of Wyoming, as chairman
of the Appropriations Committee.
Says Cleavage Line shown.
Senator Borah said that if the
league of nations were not now oc-
cupying the attention of the coun-
try the question of taxation would
be the foremost issue in the minds
or the people. He declared that
the contest over the 1917 revenue
bill showed a line of cleavage be-
tween the two groups Of Senators
and that the bill as passed was
founded upon "supremeIy unjust
principles"
The financial arrangements by
which we were to pay our debts
will do more to breed Bolshevisfn
than any one thing that I could
mention in the assemblage," Sena-
tor Borah added.
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, said he
endorsed all Borah had said. Sem
ator Spencer, of Missouri, disa-
greed entirely with Borah and said
he believed that action of the COM
mittce on committees in recom-
mending the selection of Penrose
should be sustained.
Those who voted with Bora1
were: Cummins. Iowa: Capper. Kan
sas; johnson, California; Lenroot,
Wisconsin,; Mccormick, Illinois

POLISH POCROMS
IRE PEACE RIFT

a rift has come to the Paris peace
makers over the treatment of Jews
in Poland.
In new state created and recog-
nized by the conference. horrors
rivaling those of BoIshevist Russia
have been committed. and the Polish
de facto government appears either
unable or unwilling to stop them.
1t was hoped that Poland would
prove a barrier against Bolshevism
and a buffer state" between Ger
many and Russia. The statesmen
of Paris regarded the recreation Of
the dismembered kingdom one Of
their major tasks. 1t now appears
that the Pole is as partial to the
program as was Czarist Russia, and
that in the hour of his liberation he
has a rather vague conception of
religious freedom and of democracy.
PaderewskI in Paris.
Premier Paderewski is in Paris
now. asking for more territory and
power for the new Poland. 1t is
probable that he will be given a
plain statement of the position of
the civilized world towards the per-
secution of the Jews which his ad-
ministration is countenancing.
To President Wilson will fall the
task of reading the riot act" to the
Polish statesman and pianist. Evil
dence of his attitude was given in a
cablegram which he sent to Rabbi Ste
phen S. Wise, of New York, yester-
day.
Text of CabIegram.
The cablegram reads:
The President requests me to as
sure you that safeguards against re-
ligious discrimination which the Pres
ident says he has so much at heart
will be embodied in arrangements by
which new states are set up."
Provisions for religious freedom
were set forth in the league of ma
tions as first drawn for consideration
of the allied statesmen. 1t was elim-
mated when it appeared that the
Japanese would insist upon provisions
against racial as well as religious dis
elimination.

ALWAYS At. Hand.

NV last touch with the Re r s.;
in France was on my way to Breat to
catch my ship for home. Night traV-
elling was far from comfortable and
food was hard to get. But the Red
Cross Canteen at station where we
stopped in the ,early morning was
ready for the weary travellers.
Stcaming hot coffee served in meat
and fruit tins of every sort and sand
wiches more delicious than the dain-
ties of a feast sent US on our way re-
joicing.
The whole history Of the diversi-
fed services Of the Red Cross in the
A. E. F. would need volume to de-
scribe. The wounded and the sick
can tell more about it than any 9TH
ers. Such service is too valuable to
cease. It is called upon now to
change the sphere and to some ex-
tent the character Of its activities.
The public which has 50 splendidly
supported it in the past cannot fail
! to continue its backing under the new
conditions which prevail.

SUBSCRIBERS 5O8, TOTAL 5,350

The progress of the Victory Loan drive there is disappointing to the leaders thus far. With the drive en- tering upon it's fifth day, New London had subscribed only s355.G50 toward it's goal of s1,710,000. This shows only sss,45o in subscriptions from noon Thursday to noon Friday, whereas New London should average approxi- mately $90,000 day to reach the goal in three weeks.
 The Connecticut Victory loan com mittee gave out the following state ment Friday night from A. F. Hart, treasurer of the Hartford Society for Savings, one of the largest savings banks of the state:
 We are very glad to accede to the request of the Federal reserve bank by subscribing to an amount of the Victory notes equal to four per cent of our deposits. The request of the Federal bank is reasonable and we be- lieve that it is the duty of us all to conform to it. We are therefore sub scribing for s1,600,000. On the other CT Liberty loans the savings banks were drawn on heavily and were not able to respond as they would have liked to do. At present, however, de- posits are coming in more normally and it is possible for us to subscribe to an amount that would have beer impossible under former conditions It is only fair to point out that we al- ready hold total of s1,300,0 900 of the previous issues. We believe that at this time more than ever it is the duty of every loyal citizen and institutor to support the government to the full est possible extent.
