MR.. '.YONS LEAVES
AS HOSPITAL HEAD
Says Objection Was Made
to Admission of Too
Many Free Patients
ACTIVITY In FORUM
ALSO OBJECTED TO

objection to admitiance OF many
free patients, and TO his leadership OF
the Wilmington Community forum, are
given by Superintendent Barrow b.
Lyons, Of Delaware Hospital, as The
reasons why the Board OF Managers OF
the hospital have asked for his resis-
nation, 10 take effect tomorrow, Mr..
Lyons said his removal was due main
ly to one member Of the Board OF Man
ayers, but he declined TO mention any
l3ne.
Mr.. Lyons said he had been severels
criticized for the number OF free
patients, in one instance for not TAX
ing money from a man who had been
IN a long time and unable TO earn it..
Mr.. Lyons said his activity in the VIII
mngton Community Forum also had
met with objections. The superin-
,cndent made the following statement:
II was inlimated 10 me that what
] had been quoted as saying had given
The impression that the board as a
whole were only interested in getting
money from the patients Such an i'm
preston would be very unfair to many
OF the members who have sacrificed
AID given TO the hospital at times
wnen they could only afford TO do 50
with difficulty.
"Thc difficulty lies in the fact that
the financial policies of the hospital are
practically dictated by one man, who,
i'm my opinion, while intending WELL is
misinformed as TO the financial difilcul
ties under which many poor people are
suffering
~ know OF no other way to make the
board realize This than by stating it
publicly. Ny only object in making this
statement is a deep, true-blooded feel
ing that the condition should be cor
rected when a thorough investigation
is made and not an investigation by the
person who is chiefly responsible for
the difficulty. .
Il feel that the public can have the
greatest confidence in the board Of
managesr OF the Delaware Hospital be
cause. for the most part they are anxi-
Gus TO render a,real service to the conf
munity and will do 50 when the facts
are made clear. My relations with the
board have always been exceedingly
pleasant and harmonious.
Even with the mistaken person to
whom | refer my relations have been
harmoniOus and as superintendent OF
the hospital ! have endeav0red to car
ry out his wishes, although Il has fire.
quently been unpleasant TO do so.
II deeply regret my severance with
The hospital particularly as ] have not
yet accomplished all that I had hoped
for There is truly a great service to
be rendered by any superintendent Of
the Delaware Hospital. and I know
the board will be wise in selecting
man Of character and ability and not
one who is simply contented with be-
ing a diplomat and sailing with the
wind
The superintendent has planned to
leave this city tomorrow with his
family for Maine, where he will en-
Joy vacation. after which he expects
20 take charge Of a hospital in another

Rome, Nov. 16.--At a late hour to- certain the election of 119 minister ialists, 27 members of the const1tu- tional opposition, 45 socialists, 32 publicans.
 Since early morning, contrary to the Sunday calm, there was unusual ex- citement in the neighborhood of the voting polls, where the electors gath cred. Extraordinary measures were Catholics, 21 nationalists and 14 re- adopted by the authorities to insure the safety of the electors. In Romo alone 10000 carabineeers and military police were engaged in this duty, Tn addition to the ordinary police.
 The head of the police force person. ally directed the vigilance service, while Francesca Nitti, premier and minister of the interior, kept in touch from the ministry of the interior with all 69 provinces of the kingdom Wireless apparatus was installed at the ministry for use if the telephone wires should be interrupted
 First reports from the provinces showed great animation everywhere, especially in Milan, Turin. Genoa, Be- logna, Florence and Sicily The par- ties displaying the greatest energy were the socialist, Catholic and na- tionalist. Their enthusiasm was re- ported to be developing into violence which the authorities had been obliged to repress.

HARVARD HONORS
 MAJOR HIGGINSON
Benefactor of University Is Accorded Signal Tribute-Dean Ropes
 Conducts Burial Services

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 17.-Har- ward university today paid last honors to Henry Lee Higginson, philan thropist and banker, who died Friday night. Although the head of a nu- merous and prominent family and con- spicuous otherwise as the dean of the bankers of Boston, founder of the Boston Symphony orchestra, veteran of the civil war, patron of art, all those interests were subordinated in the university's final testim onial to it's son. Maj. .Higginson was a fosmer student of Harvard, a trustee and a benefactOr, the donor of it's athletic plant on Sol diers' field and the founder of the Harvard union, the undergraduates meeting place.
 The services were simple. In Apple taon chapel within the Harvard yard, where Major H rginson was married half 8 century ago, funeral exercises were held while at the university az tivities paused for an hour. Rev. Camuel M. Brothers, a Harvard grad uate, conducted the services. The uni- versity choir an undergraduate body, sang, and members of the Boston Symphony orchestra played. Presi- dent A. Lawrence Lowell and the fel- lows of the university acted as honor ary pallbcarers.
 Nephews of Major Higginson were actual pallbearers but surrendered the caaket to undergraduates at the chapel door.
 From this point the undergraduate bearers, including the captains of most of the major teams and ether student leaders. bore the body through a dou- ble rank of undergraduates, who lined the walk from Appleton chapel to University hall, where the hearse was in waiting. At Mount Auburn ceme- tery Harvard's last word was spoken for it's son by Dean James H.. Ropes, who conducted the brief burial service A bugler from the loyal legion sound- ed "taps.''

MINERS STILL IDLE.
Illinois Workers Do Not Return to
 Their Jobs.

Springfield, H., Nov. 17.-Soft coal miners in Illinois were idle again to- day in furtherance of their strike for higher wages and shorter hours.
 The third week of the tieup appar- ently found the mine workers in this state determined to stay out until as- sured of a satisfactory wage agree ment, despite the order of their of ficials resembling the strike call under court cOmpulsion.
 Some operators had held to the opinion that there might be a break ing away from the strike of a few miners with the opening of the present week, but early indications did not bear out this belief.

PRIEST ASSAILS PEACE CONFERENCE
Condemns That and Senate for
 Contempt Of God

Characterizing the Paris Peace sConference as a pagan, un-Christian Bgathering, Rev. William A. Downey, \ Tn an eloquent sermon at the o'clock mass in St. Mary's church yesterday morning. condemned that body for it's apparent contempt of God. He told z of how the ancients respected their idols and the American Indian his Great Spirit, stbut the Twentieth Century intellectual will have none of these. Tn himself he is all-sufficient; he acknowledges no Creator; he needs no Redeemer; he believes in no God.' The speaker asked how, in the face of these facts, the world could hope to rid itself of radicaIism and enjoy peaceable existence. Father Downey's talk follows:
 ~To many of us the word recon struction' has become a word of aversion The editorial writer has rought it before us so frequently and with such a variety of interpretations hat it has become meaningless; it has 4 been the shibboleth of all social re- forms, and every public speaker has lssured himself of repute for learning ny the introduction of this word into his speeches. These self-appointed pedagogues would have us believe that national progress is today obliged to contend with obstacles which have never before existed. Now that Kul- tur, Militarism and Kaiserism have been laid away, they seek other scape goats to bear the responsibility of everything evil. The spirit of unrest which now prevails must be ex- pIained, and they go to the steppes of distant Siberia, to the radical, law despising element of Russia, and there they uncover the cause of this unrest. When these wild, untam ed hordes have been instructed, when he immigrant has been duly moulded by the process of Americanizatiol,, then we shall have orderly, loyal citi- Eens This is their mode of logic.
 Americanization Not Panacea.
 My dear friends, as true Ameri-
 cans, proud of our country and it's in- ! stitutions, we, too, should like to be- i iieves that Americanization of the for I efgner will sound the death knell of lawlessness. But we know better than 4 h11at. We know that the cause of all hiscord. of every upheaval, lies in mans neglect of God. When men do not respect God, they will not respect man. When they do not obey God I they will not obey man, no matter how legally constituted or legally supported he may be. Plato says: Religion is the foundation of so- 8 ciety.' Every logical thinker should & arrive at that same conclusion, fol \ history proves, by the disintegration md destruction of empires, that this proposition is sound. Where there is j no religion, there can be only strife

 The Peace Conference.
 "A few days ago we were astounded to learn of a nation wide plot to de- stroy the government. We were rightfully indignant and demanded speedy prosecution and severe penal ties for the guilty. We were mortified by the lack of religion manifested by these radicals. They openly avowed their hatred of it. They tell us they look forward to the time when there will shine for them the magnificent, beautiful form of man, without a God, without a master, free Of authority We were frightened Ut such an expression of atheism and de- fiance and we could not find terms strong enough to denounce them as they deserved. However, my 'bretll- ren, let us hearken to these words of the Master: Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stono.' These men can point to an assembly which was convened some months ago in which the most learned men of the most learned nations of the civilized world were gathered. We are told that the most momentous questions in history were there discussed; that solutions for every international problem were there devised. Yet, for guidance in these weighty matters for light and understanding there was no prayer made to the Almighty. A more pagan, more un- Christian gathering never took place than this much heralded Paris Peace Conference. The Greeks had their Zeus, the Romans their Jupiter, the Indian his Great Spirit, the untutored savage his idol; but the Twentieth Century. intellectual will have none of these. In himself he is all-sufficient; he acknowledges no Creator; he requires no Redeemer; he believes in no God. A resolution to introduce the Deity into the pre- amble of the peace treaty was laid ! aside in our own Senate and on that occasion one of the men whom con- tiding people had chosen to represent them boasted of the fact that he had never prayed during his whole life. When such depravity is manifested by the lettered graduates of universities and by the renowned of world states men, who shall expect the bomb- throwing anarchist to be God-fearing and laW-abidirg?
 1 Teach America First.
 1 "On all sides we hear a clamoring ] for Americanization, but each one has 1 his own ideas of what constitutes l Am ericanization. Is it a course of lecture, of study, which only the jl- literate foreigner must attend? It seems that such is the case, and we hope, by passionate appeals to the Stars and Stripes, by bitter denuncia- tions of radicalism, by ranting and gesticulating on patriotism, that love of country and respect for her insti- tutions is to be fostered. Away with these delusionsi There are thousands of so-called Americans who are in far greater need of instruction and are a far greater menace to America tha n any shipload of faltering accents. The American who has no religion, who is not bound by any code of mor- ality-he is the proper subject for Am mericanization.

PEACE CONFERENCE
 WATCHING AMERICA
Wondering if U. s. Will Insist That Other Nations Approve of
 ReSerya ions.

Paris, Nov. 17.-The news of the adoption by the United States senate of ten reservations to the German peace treaty was received with great interest in peace conference circles. The point apparently being most dis cussed by the delegates in general is as to whether the senate will ulti- mately insist upon the reservations be- ing formally approved by the other governments as now specified in the preamble. In French circles the in- dications are that the French govern ment is not prepared to give it's formal approval.
 There likewise is much speculation as to how far the American reserva- tions might possibly affect the reser- vations some of the minor powers, such as China, Rumania and Jugo- Slavia, desire to make.
 China has never signed the German peace treaty. The Chinese delegates offered to sign it subject to a reserva- tion on the question of Shantung but were not permitted to do so. Ru- mania and Jugo-Slavia did not sign the Austrian peace treaty, taking ex- ception to the clause regarding the protection of racial minorities.
