The Socialist national convention
moved TO Washington yesterday art
ernoon for a short session, marched
en- masse to the White House to pre-
sent a memorial petitioning for the
release OF Eugene V. Debs, Presiden
tial candidate, and others convicted
during the war under the espionage
act.
"It IL the frst time in the history
of the United States that a political
party has met in the Nations Capt.
tal," said Seymour Stedman. the
party's nominee for Vice President,
land the first time one has assembled
within the walls of the White House.
1t is a fair omen that the other po-
litical parties should be leaving
Washington and the Socialist party
should be invading it,"
The convention cheered when
George r. Roewer, of Boston, chair
man Of the party's amnesty commit
tee. announced that Attorney General
Palmer had listened "courteously and
attentively" to what the committee
had to say.
I'VE gathered from the Attorney
Generals talk" said Roewer. that II
way could be devised to save the
Administration from sacrificing some
OF its standing, Eugene Debs would
be inmed lately pardoned."
He said there was good chance OF
securing a pardon within ten days for
Kate Richards OHare, now serving a
term in the Missouri State prison in
Jefferson City. If she would consent
to a petition being presented in her
behalf.

LEAGUE. FAILS
IN FIRST TEST
Correspondence Between Lords
Cecil and Curzon Shows
Poles Denied Aid.
By ROBERT J. PREV.
1UsiversAI servic~.D

LONDON, May 16.-The first con-
crete demonstration of the failure OF
the League of Nations to function in
a European crisis was placed on rec,
ord yesterday by the publication OF
correspondence between Lord ttobert
Cecil, Britain's most enthusiastic
sponsor of the league, and Lord
Curzon, British foreign secretary.
Poles Denied Advice.
Replying to Lord Roberts request
that the British government urge the
league 10 mediate between Poland
and Soviet Russia, Lord Curzon
writes:
This episode does not constitute
an outbreak of war. 1t Is merely
phase OF the war that has been going
on for some time and that is not yet
terminaed.
81 do not see how we can invoke
the intervention OF the League OF Ma
tions to check the offensive OF the
Poles. In the course OF their conflict
with the Bolsheviki we told them
that his maJesty's government could
offer them no advice and that they
must choose between peace and war
on their responsibility.
hardly think IL open to us to at
tempt to repress their action when
they have made their choice. Such an
attempt would certainly be regarded
as intervention in favor OF the Boil
sheviki and against our allies, the re-
suit of which 1t would be difficult to
defend"
Lord Cecil Takes Issue.
Lord Robert Cecil retorted to this
as follows:
"It may be true that the episode
does not constitute an outbreak of
war. but II certainly does renewal of
fighting with all its horrors. 1t was
precisely to prevent nations from set
tling their controversies by resort to
arms that the covenant was entered.
IL am sure you will agree with me
that in the economic conditions in
that part of the world further fight
ing can only be regarded as Il dis
aster.
Unless information reaching me Is
entirely wrong, the whole Of that part
of eastern Europe is the prey II dis
ease, starvation, and misery rarely
equalled in the history of the world.
Critics of the league will not say
without reason now that IL 1t could
not intervene to prevent an evil of
these mensions of the occurrence
of which 1t has had full warning. then
it's usefulness In the future is nst
likely to be great
Lord Robert. in his concluding
letter. places upon the British gov
ernment the "chief share of the
guilt" for the leaguer inaction toward
Poland.

Milk Cow" Now With

Hereafter IL will be milk cow"

This decision marks the termi-
nation OF q controversy In which
stymologists In the department
have had not a little interest.
Those defending "miich" have,
pointed TO scriptursl use and GER
tain OF the classics as establish
ing precedents. while the opposi-
ton has contended that dsirymen.
ranchmen and farmers In general
use milk" instead of 'imich" al
most universally.
The advocates of milk" also
favored that word because they
contended IL was more strictly an
English word, while "milch" was
akin to German. Since American

ideals 10 an article In every pat
