Ettinger's Good Faith

Of Misrepresentation Concern

Mayor Hylan yesterday, in a letter
to William Fox, who offered to pay
the cost of keeping open the swim

a fling at DR.. William L. Ettinger
superintendent Of City Schools, whom
he accuses of disseminating mislead-
ing information. The letter follows:
81 have received your esteemed let
ter of June IT, in which you offer
your personal check for $6,912 as a
donation to keep the swimming pools
in the public schools open during the
hot weather.
'In behalf Of the City of New York,
wish to thank you for your public
spirited offer of assistance, but under
circumstances which l shall cite for
your information it will not be neces-
sary for us to take advantage of your
generosity.
"Forty-fve million dollars hNs been

Superintendent of Schools Ettinger
knows this only too we'll, and has had

in making this statement about the

Ford Unrnoved as
Witness Terms Hin,
<'Rotten Americana
Henry A. Wise Wood Tells
of Interview With / Auto
Man on War Policies at
$'Chicago 1ribuneH' Trial

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich, June l1o.
Henry Ford was In court to- day sfoy
the first time in ak weeks. With, his
cheek resting on his hand he seemed
almost ob!ivious to the witness who
was placing him IN the category of
"rotten Americans" HaitestiAed on a
minor point,
The accusing witness was Henry A.
Wise Wood, OF New York, inventor,
early associated with Colonel Roosevelt
and others in arousing the country to
the need for military preparedness, Mr.,
Wood testified at length yesterday. but
was recalled to-day for further exam
ination.
Attorney Alfred Lucking, represents
ing Mr.. Ford, Quizzed the witness re.
garding an interview which the latter
had with Mr.. Ford in 1915. They ar
gued preparedness and talked much
about manufacturing problems, par
ticularly the S5-a-day wage minimnm.
Mr.. Lucking asked what the DOM
inant note of Mr.. Ford's remarks were
and suggested that it was horror at
all war.
Antagonism to Bankers
"He did not express horror at war"
replied MIR. Wood. "It seemed to be
more antogonism to bankers than any
thing else. What ran through his con-
versation was that the bankers did it.
That is, brought on the e,world war-all
wars"
HE told you he would not contrib
ute to war in any way?" suggested Mr..
Lucking.
eyes, neither in defence of his own
country nor any other country. I felt
that complete absence of patriotism
was the cause of what he was saying.
He seemed to have no knowledge that
he owed duty to his country or to
the national group or to keep it to-
gcther or protect it from danger"
Il was dealing with man who had
done more to poison the public mind
against proper preparation for war
than almost any other individual in
the country. 1 consider ,the few smcn
who led the campaign of%the pacifsts
as rotten Americans"
Mr.. Ford occupied the stand long
enough to identify one Theodore Della
vigne as q man who had been on his
publicity staff and who wrote letters at
times in Mr. Ford's name. The man
ufacturer was then excused and left
the courtroom.
Ford Sends Answer to Wood
Mr.. Wood, after his interview with
Mr.. Ford, it appeared, had made
preparedness address in Detroit, point
ing out that the United States would
be driven into war.
Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson told
the court that "The Tribune" hopes to
close its case next week. Mr.. Lucking
informed a reporter that so far there
seemed to be reason for but little re-
buttal. Arguments will require a
week. 5. The jury. eleven of the mem
bcrs of which are farmers, are wor-
ried about their neglected fiefilds and
more than anxious to have the long
case brought to an end.

Catholics Called
To Help Restore
Church i'm France
Three TO Five Millions Il
Needed From New York:
Contributions Asked June
% by Archbishop Hayes

An envelope collection In all churches
Sunday, June 80, has been substituted
by Archbishop Hayes In lieu Of a gem
eral financial campaign to raise funds
to provide temporary places of worship
for the Catholic congregations in the
devastated regions of France. The
Archbishop made public yesterday let
ter addressed to all parish priests in
greater New York, which reads:
II hereby designate Sunday, June 20,
for general envelope collection in all
the churches of the archdiocese for the
purpose of providing, in the devastated
regions of France, temporary places Of
Catholic worship. This envelope col
lection is ordered In lieu of drive or
campaign on a large scale.
"First of all, the Church of a large
section of Northern France, a land of
desolation, has been literally fattened
to the ground. Over four thousand
churches, schools, orphanages and con-
vents have been either totally destroyed
or are SO ruined as to put them beyond
possible service. Priests have nowhere
to offer the holy sacrifice Of the mass
and the faithful have no place for the
reception of the sacraments.
Secondly, Protestant religious bodies
boldly announce their appeals for
hundreds of millions Of dollars for
the very object of spending large
portion of these immense funds in
Northern France for missionary work.
Certainly there is no need for such re-
ligious activity unless it be for the
avowed purpose of supplanting our
holy religion by Professionalism among
the ar-strcken Catholic poor of
France.
Thirdly, the Catholics of France
have been in times past most generous
to America
"Fourthly, the appeal to help the
devastated churches in France will be
nationwide, and the sum of S3,0OO,0oO
to S5,00o,0o0 is needed. New York must
not fail.
"Fifthly, let it be understood clear
ly that it is not a movement to rebuild
the noble monumental cathedrals of
France. Our project is to erect sim
rle, inexpensive and temporary places
of worship, with the essentials as to
sacred vessels and vestments."
