DR.. WISE HITS LEAGUE CRITICS
They Cast shadow on American
Fame, Rabbi Says.

DR.. Stephen s. Wise said yesterday
in his sermon at Carnegie Hall, address,
Ing the Free Synagogue, that the League
of Nations is "a peoples device" and
that the opposition in America has cast
shadow upon this nations position in
Europe as a dsinterested Power The
chief opposition here, he said, was COM
ing from munitions workers and the
mllltaristic class, which already is
clamoring for more wars.
Don't for a moment imagine" said
DR.. Wise, that we have no imperialists
In America. They are inslstent and in
solent. They have a commercial appe-
tite. thinking that America stands for
nothing more than making investments
abroad which the American army and
navy are TO guarantee.
IF they cherish the hope that America
will be soaded into war with England
or Join hands with Germany against
France they may rest assured that there
never will be a difference with England
or France that II will not be possible to
compose by arbitration, irrespective OF
the nature of the issue involved"
DR.. Wise discounted Washington's
Injunction against foreign alliance with
the words: 'Tn 1917 we chose to be en-
tangled and We shall abide by our
choice. The question is simply shall
we stay in Europe to keep peace or
shall we go to Europe from time to time
to make ware"

DR.. shipmnn. Senior Chaplain OF
First Army, at Old Post.

The Rev. Herbert Shipman. relieved a
few days ago as senior chaplain Of the
First Army, returned to his parish yes
terday and told his congregation at the
Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth ave-
nue. and Forty-ffth street. his expert
ences with the troops. One OF his most
novel experiences, he said. was on hts
return from the front I'm passing through
Chateau Thierry in comfortable dining
car, making only brief stop while the
train guard cried out the name OF the
station that means so much in the
American history Of this war.
DR.. Shipman. in speaking OF the eight
great hospitals In and around Paris, said
with one assistant he was frequently
called on to bury American dead. The
number at times ran to twenty-five a
day. For every burial permission of a
city councilman was necessary. When
this was obtained the bodies were assem-
bed In trucks. the services held, and the
trucks in procession went out to the
American cemeteries.
The League Of Nations cannot become
an accomplished fact, DIR. Shipman said.

ity. On any other basis any league
would merely postpone the time when a
renewed conflict would spring up to
drench the world in blood.

CIVIL SER VICE RAID
BY TAMMANY FEARED
State Prison Head Attacked as
Sponsor for Bill Ending
Ratings.
Special Despatch TO THE Sex.

ALBANY, March 9-The Republicans
in the Legislature have decided to op-
pose the bill of Senator Loring NJ
Black of Brooklyn which proposes elm
nation Of service records. ratings and
personnel boards in State departments
and institutions. They regard the bill
as Tammany's opening attack on the
State civil service, according to a
statement issued to-day by the Repub-
Ncan State Committee news bureau.
Charles F. Rattigan, the new State
superintendent OF Prisons. is attacked
by the statement as the only advocate
of the measure TO appear so far, except
the introducer of the bill. which has
drawn fire from the American Civil Ser
vice Reform Association and the State
Civil Service Commission.
Mr.. Rattigans Endorsement OF the bill
is accepted by Republicans as a move
toward inroads on all Jobs in the penal
institutions, including civil service posi-
tons.
At a conference OF majority leaders
II was agreed that the measure was
destructive and would wipe out in their
entirety the personnel boards in every
department and institution. These
boards are composed of at least three
members, one OF whom must be civil
service employee. and meet quarterly
to submit to the civil service commits
sion ratings OF employees in the re-
spective departments. Upon the se
ratings promotions are awarded later
by the commission.
The frst utteranco In support OF the
bill coming from Supt. Rattigan, already
accused Of making ready for a raid or
Jobs in the prisons, invoked a caustiC
comment from Civil Service Commits
sioner Rice, who said: 1T seems
somewhat anomalous that the head OF
department having the reformati or
of criminals as its purpose should in.
struct his subordinates to ignore the
law. But as long as I am a Commits
sioner I will endeavor to see that It is
enforced"
The Republican statement adds that
the civil service rating scheme never
has had a fair trial because OF the
law, and they are determined that II
