RADICALS START
NEW STRIKES
Refuse to Appear for Hearing;
Also Hunger Strike

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-More than
three score radicals awaiting deporta-
alton hearings at Ellis Island, still
ing inv estigated by the House Immi-
grafton Committee, have instituted
two strikes within twenty-four hours,
After having issued an ultimatum
yesterday to the effect that they would
not attend their hearings unless the
wire screen which separated them
from visitors was removed, they de-
clined an invitation to march into the
dining hall for breakfast this morn
ing. The menu which the hunger
strikers turned down consisted of
prunes, oat meal, bread with sub
stitute for butter, and coffee.
Byron H. Uhl, acting commissioner
of immigration, said he had discov-
cred no method whereby he could
identify the prisoners, scheduled for
hearing
The strikers sent Mr.. Uhl an ulti-
matum saying they would not answer
to their names or attend trial until
wire screen behind which they were
compelled to- stand while received
friends had been removed.

ANOTHER NOTE
SENT GERMANY
Surprise at Departure Of German
Delegates From Paris


PARIS, Move. 25.-Surprised at
the departure of DR.. Simpson, head of
the Observation-Disclosures sent by Germany
to this city in connection with the
protocol relative to the carrying out
of the terms of the armistice, was eX-
pressed in n note delivered to Kurt
Won Lersner, head of the German
delegation at Versailles by the su-
preme council last night. If the treaty
of Versailles Is not put into force by
December /, the note adds, the re-
sponsibility will lie with the German
governments as the departure of Dr.
Simson inevitably delays further con-
ferences which must be held.
DR.. Won Lersner is asked in con-
clusion to state what are the inten-
tions of the German government
1t was learned today that Won
Lersner sent a letter to Secretary
Dutaska of the peace conference, FRI
day, to the effect that the head OF
the plenipotentiaries had become
convinced after the consultations he
had in Paris that he must consult
the German government regarding
the protocol, especially as the nation
al assembly would have to approve
the decisions reached.
The Won LerSner letter protested
against the question of the repatria-
ton of prisoners again being bound
up with that of putting the treaty
into effect 1t being pointed out that
the allied government previously ha0
separated these issues. If the prom
Use of France was not kept German
public opinion would not have con-
f1dence in any further promise France
might make. The letter in this con-
nection drew attention to an article
published recently in the Press de
Paris on the surrender of war crimi-
nails.
Premier Clemenceau as president of
the peace conference replied on Sat
urday saying that Won Lersner's letter
made him question If the treaty could
be put into force Dec. /, owing to the
German governments action, al
though that government had known
the contents of the protocol since No
vember l.
The delay, said NJ. Clemenceau,
would be regrettable, as it might raise
doubts of the sincerity of Germany's s
intentions as regarded the execution
of the engagements made in the arm
istice and the peace treaty.
Baron Won Lersner. M. Clemenceau
continued, was incorrect in saying
ise. The supreme councils agree
ment to the release of German pris-
oners was conditional on fulfillment
by Germany of the terms of the
armistice; Germany had only to sign
the protocol and repatriation would
commence.

FOR CHURCHNEN
Rev. Mr.. BurrIII Speaks at St.
Peters Mass Meeting

Driving home forcibly the duty of
every churchman In these dark days
of American civilization, Rev. Horace
ste. Burrill. of Plainfield, addressed
parish mass meeting of st. Peters
Episcopal church held in the parish
house in Rector street last night.
There were about fifty parishioners
present, a comparatively small num-
ber when the total membership OF the
parish is considered Another mass
meeting Will be held tonight at -7.45,
conducted also by Rev. Mr. Burrill,
at which time he will continue his
talk on the needs of an awakening in
the church.
Last night Rev. Mr.. BurriIl dwelt
upon the need of advancing the cause
of missions. He shows that it was the
business of everyone that this great
work of the church be carried on.
Among the colored people of the
South, the Indians OF the far west. in
China and the islands of the sea there
is a great work to be done. Human
ity is suffering and dying in distress
and ignorance. If we are true to the
teaching of our religion we will not
fail to give our support.
Rev. Mr.. Burrill contrasted the
days of old when it was the forces OF
God that caused the upheavals in the
world with the wars of early history
and the Crusaders. Now, he pointed
out, we are passing through an up
heaval caused by the forces of evil.
Unless the fearing people arouse
themselves and meet the issue our
Christian civilization, of which we so
proudly boast, Will be destroyed
The object of the nationwide cam
paign in the Episcopal church, Rev.
Mr.. Burrill said, was to stir the
church to greater activity. 1t was de-
clared that only one-third of the
membership was attending church
services; only one-third of the mem
bership was giving to the support OF
the church work. The average
amount given to church missions was
but three cents per week per mem
Der. The trouble is, so many are not
giving anything at all. he said.
When the every member canvass
takes place on December 7 it is the
purpose OF the church to get every
person who processes to be member
of the church to give something, or at
least do something and take an in
terest in the activities of the church,
that 1t may be fully strengthened to
meet the forces that are doing their ut
most at the present time tG destroy
everything that the church stands for.

STILL NOREPLY
FROM MEXICO
CaTanza Government, However,
Intends to Answer Note
BV The Associated Press.
SHINGTON- Nov


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25:-Secre-
tary Lansing went into the cabinet
meeting today without reply to the
American note demanding the imme-
diate release of William o. Jenkins,
the American consular agent at
Puebla, and warning the Mexican
government that further molestation
of the agent would seriously affect
the relations between the United
States and Mexico.
Mexico's failure to make q prompt
reply apparently has created an un-
favorable impression in official circles
and the cabinet was expected again
TO discuss the whole Mexican situa-
ton. When it first took up the Jen-
kins case last week the Presidents
official family was without all the
facts but since that time much addi-
tional information has been received
both from Jenkins himself and the
American embassy in Mexico City.
The state department still was
awaiting today the reply to the note
to the Mexican government demand
ing the release of William Q. jenkins,
held on O charge of colluson with
the bandits who~recently kidnapped
and held him for $150,OO0 ransom.
Dispatches from Mexico stated that
the government had decided to answer
the note, although the foreign office
recommended that the reply be held
up pending action in the case by the
Mexican court.
a long dispatch was known to have
been received at the Mexican en-
bassy here Sunday, and 1t was thought
by officials that it was the reply to the
American note. From the latest re-
ports of the state department, Jen-
kins still was held in Jail and was
suffering from the illness he con-
tracted while held by the bandits.

assault and Paul Popo was taken to
the hospital An examination showed
that one bullet had entered his left
ear and 1t was thought likely that the
bullet lodged in his skull. The other
shot slightly wounded the mans chest.
1t is believed the man will live.
John Popo was taken into custody
by Detective Ferguson and ls being
held as a material witness. The case
was first reported to the Metuchen
