Village viii Vote

Rockville & ente Fans
You'd Stage Games in
Famous Dry Reservoir

The Village Trustees of Rockville
Center, l.. l., decided yesterday that
the question of Sunday baseball was
too grave a problem for them to settle
and designated May 18 as the date of
special election to resolve the issue.
Ever since the snow disappeared and
robins and box scores appeared, mem
bers Of the locar post of the American
Legion, about 200 strong, have been
agitating the question. Their propo-
sition for formal authorization of Sun
day games brought upon the village
diSsension which amounted almost to
civil war.
Village elders, male and female
frowned upon the suggestion. Homes
were rent asunder; parents were ar.
rayed against children; brother against
brother; breakfasts were eaten in sui
len silence or amid all too audible de.
bate.
The four churches Of the village
sbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and
utheran-united to oppose Sunday
baseball. Legion members counterec
with petition in favor of it having SOC
signatures, which they presented to the
trustees. Presently church members
turned in petition of directly op.
posite content. That also had 500 sigma
lures. The latest move of the fans was
to obtain permission to use as a dia-
mond "Freels Folly" reservoir con-
structed years ago, at cost of $780,
600. which never has held drop OF

Assails New
German Party
Asserts the Same Elements
Which Backed Alliance of
Pre-War Days Now Seek
to Perpetuate Propaganda
Government Inquiry On
Garvan, of Department of
Justice, Says Present Laws
DONOtPermit Prosecution

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 6. - Declaring
the real purpose behind the movement
for the organization of new German
political party in the United States,
the existence of which was recently
exposed by The Tribune, was "to per.
petuate the pernicious and un-Ameri-
can propaganda Of the German -Ameri-
can Alliance" Senator William H. King,
of Utah. to-day announced his inten-
tion of demanding a Senate inquiry
into the scheme.
Senator King stated that even before
The Tribune disclosed the nationwide
effort to organize the Germans into
this new party he had made some in
vestigation himself, and was convinced
that the leaders in the movement in
cluded many of the erstwhile factors
in the German American Alliance.
A. recent issue of "Viereck's Maga-
zine" formerly the "Fatherland," con-
tanned a report on tia work Of organ
izing the new party by Edmund Won
Mach, who was accused during the war
of having conducted pro- German prop
aganda and was a witness before the
Senate Judiciary Committee in its in
vestigation of enemy propaganda.
Department of Justice Busy
Francis P. Garvan, Assistant Attor-
ney General of the United States, ad
mitted to-day that the Department of
Justice has been watching the work Of
Won Mach and his associates, but de-
clarod that so long as the organization
confined it's activities to politics there
was no law under which the govern
ment could proceed against it.
"There is no ques6 on in my mind"
said Senator King, that the same dis
loyal elements which were directing the
affairs of the German-American Ali
ance at the time its Federal charter
was revoked are behind this new move
ment, and that the real purpose is to
soidify disloyal German elements into
a unit that will adhere to the old Ger
man ideals and seek to spread again
through the United States the virus of
German kultur and German propa
ganda. That this organization proposes
also to build up strong political
strength in the United States is ad-
mitted by the founders of the move
ment.
State Action Suggested
81 do not know that anything can
be done under the present law to pre-
vent it, but it is certainly a matter
calling for investigation, and l am
right now preparing a speech which
shall deliver in the Senate on the sub
ject shortly. l am informed that the
organization has become particularly
active in and around Chicago, and in
certain other large centcrs, and it
would seem to be matter for state
governments also to inquire into.
when Won Mach appeared before
the Senate committee he proved from
his own statements that he had been
engaged, ct least just prior to our
entry into the war, in regular or
ganized German propaganda. / am
Informed that he has gathered about
him in this new venture many of the

Foreign Trade

By u. S. Board
War Finance Bureau Said to
Have Used Only About
5O,OOO,OOO of Billion
Authorized by Congress
Banks Must Bear Strain
Restrictions PutAroundC Gov
ernment Funds Declared
to Have Been Drawback

The War Finance Corporation will
discontinue making loans to support
foreign commerce about May Is, Wall
Street bankers heard yesterday. An
ofhclai announcement from Washing
ton of the change in policy is expected
shortly.
In connection with the Victory loan
act Congress authorized the finance
corporation to lend up to $1,000, ,O00,,-
600 to American exporting companies
and to banks financing outgoing ship
ments at not less than l per cent
above the prevailing rate of interest
on ninetyday commercial paper and
to run not more than five years.
In practice, the actual lending was
hedged with many restrictions and
scarcely more than S5Q,O0OO00, accord
ing to banking estimates, has actually
been made available
Until Eugene Meyer jr.. chairman of
the corporation, formally announces
the discontin1ance of loans for export
business the exact reason for the
change will be unknown However.
bankers pointed out. that it is the
policy of the Treasury to make no fur
ther direct advances to foreign coun-
tries, such as were made during the
war. and that, therefore, it was some
what Inconsistent for the War Finance
Corporation to do Indirectly what the
Treasury was opposed to doing directly.
Moreover, in practice the finance
corporation, in the opinion of money
bankers and exporters, was playing no
important role in the financing of for
elgn trade and was not succeeding i'm
solving the tangles growing out of
the disparities Of foreign exchange
rates.
Many applications which have been
made to the corporation for financial
succor recently have been turned down,
and this is explained by the fact that
this changes in policy has been under
consideration for many weeks.
The corporation, which was origi-
nally established the first year of the
war to make available funds to neces-
sary war industries, will continue it's
other functions.
One Of the most important loans
made in connection with foreign trade
was an advance of $5,0OO,OOO to finance
the sale of locom olives by the Bald
win Locomoti Works and the Amer
ican Locomotive Company to Poland.
In the absence of large loans to Eu-
rope and with the War Finance Cor
poration out of the field, the main
strain of financing trade with Europe,
it was Explained, will fall on the
banks, particularly the new institu-
tions formed under the Edge act to
finance foreign trade.

For reasons which were not made
public by the immigration officials, Lieu
tenant Howell French, of Hartford,
Conn, formerly of the A. f. F., is de-
sirous of parting company with Georges
Pero, -year-old orphan, whom
he and his wife adopted several months
ago.
The child met Lieutenant French in
France and followed him to Paris, urg-
ing that the lieutenant take him to
America. After the officer returned to
New York, the boy came here as stow

Lieutenant French adopted him.
The foster father called up Ellis ISL

Of Killing Stepfather

ST. LOUIS, May 6-Ursula Broder-

Joseph F. Woodlock, in their home
here April IA, 1919, was found guilty
of murder in the second degree by a
jury in Juvenile Court here tonight,
and her punishment fixed at 10 years
in the Missouri penitentiary.
The Broderick girl shot and killed
her father, T. j. Broderick, in 1916, but
coroner's jury exonerated her ON the
plea that she fired the shot in defense
of her mother.
The girl had always maintained that
Woodlock was annoying her when she
shot him. At the inquest following his
death, she testified that he had at
tackled her the night she killed him.
She is the youngest girl ever to face
murder charge in this state.

and add by so much to the burden
OF taxation? Congress should be
wary of making promises it would be
most difficult to keep.
Mr.. Cleveland's definition of dis
ability incurred in the line of duty
as the condition requiring a just Gov
eminent to pension its soldiers was
so honest and fair to the taxpayers
as we'll as to the soldier that it was
not popular with Che politicians. Has
it entirely lost its appeal? In a way
it has, for Congress has neglected to
do its duty toward disabled soldiers
and sailors, whom the Government
had promised to train and fit for
gainful employment. The Board for
Vocational Education has failed to
function properly. Employment has
been found for PIT manned veterans
only, and but $4,000 out Of 100000
who applied for assistance to fight
the battle of life, and not for cash,
have received any training at all.
Here is a cause for Congress to take
up with yirtuous Indignation. The
people are a unite for generous treat
ment Of manned and helpless veter-
ans, cost what it may. Why does
Congress turn away. but present a
smiling face to the applicants for boz
muses. who are sound in body and in
most cases are well employed and do
not need the $50 a month for each
month of service, at home as well as
overseas, which it is proposed to pay
them? Why do whole and busy men
desire a bonus which they do not
need? There must be great num-
bers Of thoughtful veterans who
would not want to take it, would like
to refuse tn. Y. Times.

BILLIONS FOR U

Which way the wind blows in Con-
gress on the soldiers and sailors bo-
u question is shown by the vote Of
325 to 4 on the rule to refer all bills
for monetary and land bonuses to the
Ways and Means Committee with in
structions to report a comprehensive
measure. The House balks at, in fact
SHES around, a plan of universal
training that could be carried out for
$15O,000, 900 a year, but it looks with
favor upon a distribution Of bonuses
that would cost $1,000, OOO, 900, per
haps much more. There seems to be
a strange inconsistency here, but the
politicians Of the House-that is to
say, the leaders-know what they are
about. There are votes in bonuses,
or in the promise of Congress to pay
them, but interest in universal serv-
ice, which was in high favor two years
ago, is not so keen now. In many
districts a time-serving candidate for
reelection would not dare to advo-
cate universal military training.
Before retiring from the Treasury
Department Secretary Carter A.
Glass opposed a large expenditure
for veterans bonuses because the in
d~ebtedenss of the Government was
already giving concern, and to add a
billion or two to the burden, except
under the compulsion Of necessity,
would be indefensible. But the adj
vocates of veterans bonuses say that
bonds for 50, 1000, 100000 would be tax
en- cheerfully by the American peo-
pie. No financial authority would a.
gree with these optimists. 1t was
uphill work selling the Victory notes,
which were to pay Az per cent. in
terest, and pressing war obligations
were involved. The people had taken
a long series Of Liberty Loans gladly
enough, and they had subscribed tC
every kind of war service with de-
voted patriotism. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that many made the ut
most sacrifice when they paid then
insallments on Victory notes. These
people and their number is legion
could certainly not take the bonu!
bonds.
The bonds would have to carry /;
higher rate of interest than any pre-
vious Government issue, 5 per cen
at least. They could not be aoate'
without causing a further depreciA

notes; and, aside from that aspec
