DIVIDED VIEWS ON

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Gen.
Frederick Maurice's views on the
league of nations. as given in an in
terview with the United Press. were
criticised today by Sen. Lewis, strong
advocate OF the league. and com
mented on favorably by Sen. Borah,
tho opposes it.
Lewis, who processes 10 have n
clear understanding OF Pres't Will
sons ideas regarding the league, de-
probation Of what the United States
must take upon itself.
Says Maurice Is Mistaken.
Maurice says the United States
must be the financial hacker Of the
league, but he is mistaken" said
Lewis. THE United States will not
under any circumstances be money
lender to the world in general in
peace time. For specific purposes
and in cases where the need is well
established. the United States prob
ably will use its financial resources
TO help other nations. But the Amer
lean people should understand that

port Of the league. Pres't Wilson did
not bind them 10 assume the money

Wilson Will Not Consent.

power. permanently or TO any greaA
Il. l.. Fsaa -
The big navy which Maurice says
is essential to arm the league for
eXerting economic pressure may be
used for that purpose il at any time
circumstances should arise which
would make il necessary. Should the
league OF nations find il necessary TO
coerce any nation by cutting of its
imports for time a navy would be
the means used. But before such a
step can be taken, it must be ap-
proved by the united public senu-
ment OF the peoples forming the
+, league. our navy is for ourselves
primarily"
Borah's View.
Borah. who opposes the league be-
cause. he declares il means the
gradual eradication OF national
spirit. said OF Gen. Mauriees state
ment.
This is a candid and most intelli-
gent statement OF very whole man.
America is 10 underwrite Europe
financially and 10 police the whole
world by our military forces. These
are the obligations which league OF
nations will impose. The hundred
millions we voted for food is the BE-
ginning and our boys in Russia are
not pioneers in policing the world.

bUNDS, OVLn hdyJ loiV'
my DEAR Mr. BARRETT CLARK:
"Your letter reached me this morning,
and gladly accede to your request that
l should express an opinion on the ques-
ton, How to Strengthen the Intellectual
Entente Among English Speaking Peo-
ple,' not only because of my regard for
yourself, but also because l deeply desire
to see all the English speaking people in
the world enlisted in a crusade to deliver
men from mean subjeetions.
II have always believed that the passion
for freedom which animates people of our
language is likely to prove the solvent of
old tyrannies. 1t is, perhaps, easier for
Americans to incite the world to freedom
than it is for Englishmen, because they
are less entangled in ancient wrongs; but
think am right in believing that in this
matter of liberty there is more affinity be-
tween the various members of the English
speaking communities than among any
other members of the human race, not
even excepting the French, although l like
to think Of the people of Alsace raising
that banner with the strange device, Here
Begins the Land Of Liberty on the Kehl
Bridge in 1890.
."In the matter which most nearly con-
Germs me, namely, the wrong done to my
country of ireland by England, l dis
cover a real repentance among English
men; they manifest genuine spirit of
good win towards the Irish people, and
are sincerely anxious to fulfil the desires
and petitions Of our hearts. It is not
problem which can be easily solved,
chiefly because Ulstermen, of whom | am
one, are reluctant to commit their great
enterprises 10 the governance of men
whom they consider to be irresponsible

and incompetent; but l do not doubt that
with the growth of good will in England
and, please Heaven, the decline of hate in
ireland, way out of an unhappy situa-
ton will be found. May l add that the
solution of this problem is not made easier
by behavior such as that of the three
Irish-American delegates who lately chose
to give display of grossly bad manners
in Irelandf
81 am confirmed in my belief that the
English speaking people have a natural
instinct for freedom by the fact that Bis
marck, that hierarch of suppression, dis
liked England as much as he dishked
America, and that his dislike was based,
less on the fact that British policy col
ided with Prussian policy, as on the fact

SALISBURY, May 10, 1917.
DEAR SIR:
According to my ideas it is more than
time that mankind awoke to the fact that
al men are in reality one kindred, having
q common origin, common rights, common
duties and immortality las most men be-
ieve) In common. The tie between Eng
land and America is closer still, but on
that very account it can only be morally
strengthened by nearer acquaintance. l
don't know what it is that holds the two
countries apart, except that it is the ma
ture of the stock from which both are de-
scended to be afraid of self-expression.
That which We in Britain hold most dear
we are apt to keep under lock and key.
/ believe, however, that the British are
much more conscious of their American
kinship than the Americans are Of their
British.
"And another thing which I am sure
Americans don't realize is that we con-
slider the most British thing the Ameri-
cans ever did was to rebel against and
overthrow the tyranny of the English
King and Parliament in ITS. No
grudge, therefore, on the score of the War
Of Independence should stand in the way
Of our intimacy. 1t is freely understood
over here that the Americans could not
have done other than they did, and that
In that struggle for freedom the better
cause was won by the better men.
II do not see how the cause you have
at heart can be better served than by edu-
cation in history upon those times. Be-

seven men.
They are: Sam Gellerman, Mayer
Levi. Henry Morris, A. Mosenfeld-
er of Rock Island and Sol Hirsch,
Max Sklovsky and George A. Seer
back of Moline.
The assemblage is for the pur-
pose of taking steps to save CO.
religionists in the countries of the
Balkans, Asia Minor, in Russia,
Siberia, Poland, Galicia and Ru-
mania. who face annihilation- The
meeting is called by Jacob H.
Schiff, noted New York philan-
thropist, Felix M. Warburg, Henry
Morgenthau, former United States
ambassador to Turkey, Nathan
Straus, Arthur Lehman and other
nationally prominent men
More than one hundred repre-
sentative Jews from every part of
the state will attend the meeting
which will convene at 1890 at the
Standard club.
These men, as we'll as Mr. Rosen-
Wald, are active members OF the
American Jewish relief committee
for sufferers from the war, whose
headquarters are at l5 East For
tieth street, New York. The meet
ing Monday has as one OF its OBJ
jects the formation of a permanent
organization to represent this ma
tional committee in Illinois and
safeguard the interests of World
Jewry SO long as the present dire
conditions abroad continue to exist.
The principal speaker at the
gathering will be DR.. Nathan krass
of New York, noted American Jew
ish orator, who will leave for his
home city almost Immediately after
the meeting in order to catch the
ship which is to carry him abroad
for several months of actual relief
work. He will carry a message Of
cheer and promise of effective aid
from the Jews of Illinois to those
of Poland who are suffering SO in
tensely.
Among those planning to be pres
ent from this city is DR.. Hahn l.
Davis, theneurologist and psychiat-
rfc expert, who but recently re-
turned from Poland, where he spent
several months as American Red
Cross commissioner. 1t was Mr..

act.

the Doctor states. that there are
in Poland 100000 Jewish and
Christian children entirely depend
ent upon American relief for the
meager rations that they get.
American Jewish relief agents are
caring for at least 10000 Jewish
children daily in Warsaw alone.
The appeal of these hundreds of
thousands of innocent victims of
circumstance is one that no normal
man can deny"
At the meeting tomorrow, ways
