FRENCH AND HUNGARIAN
PROTEST AGAINST WAR
Latsko and Barbuse Haze Written Uo Books Which Disclose
the Idealist's Hatred of Mass Killing

How the idealist reacts to war is
in two novels, one by a
Frcnchman and the other by u Hun
garian. Each man fought in the
trenches. Although they were on op-
posing sides their conclusions are SO
nearly identical that the book by the
Frenchman might have been written by
the Hungarian and the Hungarian
might have written the protest against
war which has come from the French
man. The two books are Light by
Henri Barbusse, author of Under
Fire. one of the most realistic trench
books yet written; and 1.-THE Judgment
Of Peace, by Andreas Latzko, author
Of Men in War;" which revealed the
horrors of war so clearly that it's sale
in America was forbidden after its ma
ture was understood by the War De-
partment.
Light" IS the story of French
clerk in factory in small city. He
was called % the colors when the war
began and Served until he was seriously
wounded. The book is the story of a
French worker In its earlier pages, re-
vealing his discomfort with the social
conditions in which he finds himself. In
its later pages it is the story of man
whose whole being rebels against the
barbarities Of war. The man wonders
VII! the soldiers consent to keep on
killing and being killed. When he re-
turns home he attends a celebration at
which the flag is displayed. He says {:
mo, do not bow in presence Of the
flag. 1t frightens me, hate it and I
accuse it. No, there is no beauty in
it; it is not the emblem of this corner
of my native land whose picture it dis
turbs with it's savage stripes. 1t is the
screaming signboard of the glory OF
blows. of militarism and war" War,
he says, is cruelty based on greed.
Barbusse has attempted to make clear
what 0 thinking man who has seen war
face to fase believes about it and its
causes an5 its remedies. The book is
an argumen, for international peace
based on Justice. The domestic rela :
tions Of BE hyso are made typical of
the relations iiong nations. There is
estrangems II between the husband and
wife because they are not frank with
each other. At the end the husband
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-02-28

tells his wife the whole truth about
himself and she understands and ap-
preciates his problems and his tempta-
tions when he is frank about them, and
with the establishment of honesty the
barrier which had grown up between
them disappears.
Latzko's book as n piece of litera-
ture is far superior to Barbusse's. His
men in the trenches are described with
greater skill and a more convincing
realism. He seems to have a fuller
comprehension of human psychology.
Hc proved that he knew how to write
in Men in War" His new book con
firms the judgment formed of him when
his first one appeared. The hero is a
successful German pianist with an in
ternational reputation who enlisted at
the beginning of the war in the ardor
of patriotism, but the rigors of the
Prussian military machine gall him
and he is in a constant state of mental
revolt. But when he goes to the front
he fights as the rest do, in spite of his
disposition to refuse to carry rifle
any longer. He feels that every other
mar is as reluctant as he to keep on
killing, but he knows that if one of
them should disobey orders all the
others would attack him for doing the
very thing that they were afraid to do.
They were all under bondage to mass
compulsion. Latzko wonders when the
kings who make war will be forced to
submit to the mass compulsion to keep
the peace. and when the mass will get
the courage to refuse to take up arms
to do things which they regard as in =
dcfensible. He is not wholly pessi
mistic, for he sees signs of progress il
thnt every nation which entered thC
war had to justify itself by insisting
that it was acting in self defense. Two
hundred years ago. he says, they would
all have boldly declared on the eve of 9
war that there was certain territory oi
certain trade routes which they wanted
and that they were going to take then
by force. A new conscience in inter
national politics has been awakened
The purpose of his book is evidently tC
assist in awakening it still more.

PLUNKETT SAYS
GERMANY WON
JUTLAND FIGHT

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
Germans, by their superior gunnery,
turned the British on their heads"
at the battle of Jutland, Rear Admir-
al Plunkett declared today before the
senate committee investigating the
navy's conduct of the war.
Admiral Plunkett was testifying
as to the need for keeping the navy
personnel at full strength so men
might be adequately trained. He did
not go into details as to the Jutland
battle and was asked no questions re-
garding it by the committee.
The admiral, who commanded the
great naval battery Of 14-inch guns
on the western front, was the fourth
witness in the investigation of Rear
Admiral Sims charges that the
navy department failed to cooperate
fully with the allies early in the
war and all of his testimony was
devoted to the matter of personnel
He told the committee that the
navy was without sufficient men
when the war began.
IF we had been up against Ger
many at the outbreak Of the war;" he
said, 1--WE would have been paying
indemnity today, and all because we
did not have the trained men"
Charges that the navy department
took steps to prevent reports reach
ing the public regarding a shortage
of personnel in the navy before the
United States entered the war were
made before the senate naval inves-
tigating committee by Captain
Joseph x. Taussig of the naval war
college at Newport, r. I.

BOTH OLD PARTIES
Senator Borah Charges Cor.
ruption to Wood and Low
den-Says Wilson Would
Beat Wood

WASHINGTON, March 26.--Ch@rg-
ing that war profiteers" had COM
bined to control the Republican and
Democratic natioial conventions, SEN
ator Borah, Republican, Idaho, told
the senate today that the pre-conven-
ton expenditures Of some preStden-
tial candidates presented a shame
less situation promising a saturnalia
of corruption unless congress called a
halt"
Senator Borah's charges, which
were made in presenting his bill for
limitation OF pre-convention expendi-
lures, started a political debate in
which senators on both sides Of the
chamber Joined ana which gave an
airing to many Of the pre-convention
issues Of the two great parties.
Reading a published story that
testimonials" 1ndorsing Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood were being pur-
chased in Indiana at the rate of $3.50
apiece, Senator Borah said he had
been advised that plenty of af11-
davits to the same effect were on file
in a neighboring state"
"If these men who have supposed
that you can purchase the nomination
are beginning by paying $3.50 for
testimonials" Senator Borah asked,
what will they pay for votes?"
General Woods managers state
that the managers for Governor Low
den are spending more money than
they are. That is their defense. I
am inclined to think that that is true.
There are some evidences Of it.
C"Here is the shameless situation.
Certain candidates are charged with
having made enormous expenditures
and they apparently have turned
themselves over to coterie Of men
of vast wealth and are permitting
those men to conduct their campaign.
To the man in the street 1t has every
appearance Of an attempt to deliber-
ately control with money the national
convention.
1T these gentlemen will frankly
tell us where the money is coming
from, T would willingly accept their
explanation. But when they remain
silent, there is only one inference to
be drawn and taht Is that the charges
are true" y. ~-
Third Term Possibility F.
Senators Thomas, Colorado, and
AshurSt, Arizona, Democrats, asked
Senator Borah to give the names of
Democrats who were spending large
sums Of money and the speaker said
he would do so at the proper time.
eff I knew any Democrat who was
spending money excessively" said
Senator Ashurst, II should feel it
my duty to see that he didn't get
some delegates he might otherwise
get. And if I thought any Demo-
crat was trying to get third term,
I would not hesitate to tell the peo-
pie that that was wrong"
IF the senator doesn't know that
a Democrat IS seeking a. third term"
rejoined Senator Borah, "then he is
blessed with an innocence Of which
would not suspect him. I think the
President is entitled to third term
for who else would lead the fight
for the treaty?"
Doesn't the senator mean a. third
nomination." asked Senator Moses,

KIDNAPPED YOUTH
IS DISCOVERED IN =.
HOTEL BATH ROOM
Paul Little Telephones for
Help After Father Had
Agreed to Pay Ransom for
Him

LEXINGTON, KY, March 90
Paul Little, twelve-year-old. kidnap-
ed here two avs ago, was found lock-
ed in a bathroom on the sixth floor
Of the Phoenix hotel hero today.
After the kidnaper OF his son, had
refused to take the demanded ran
s. !, e. r. Little, Lexington capital
list. had sought other means to have
his son returned.
The father placed in a garbage
can money supposed to be $4,000 at
1880 o'clock last night. Returning
alone about half an hour. later Mr..
Little found the money had been I'M
touched. A note received Wednesday
night shortly after the boys disap-
pearance with an unidentified man,
is said to have demanded ransom or
the boy would be killed.
It is believed that the kidnapsT
failed to call for the ransom because
Of fear that Mr.. Little might have
''double-crossed' him by having Of
ficers nearby to arrest him. Mr.. Lit
tie, however, carried out all condi-
tons prescribed by the abductor.
The boy was unframed. He him
self made a telephone call which re-
suited in his rescue.
The kidnappers escaped, one Of two
men whom the boy said had held him
prisoner for two days, escaping down
one elevators as the mother and a
number Of friends came up another
elevator.
The Little telephone rang early to-
day. Mrs. Little answered.
This Is Paul. I'm in the Phoe-
nix hotel,' he said. The mother did
not wait for details. With her 9TH
err son. Keller, she dashed out Of the
house, followed by her husband.
They hailed an automobile and were
rushed to the hotel.
"Is my boy here?" she cried as
shs entered the lobby.
No one had seen the child. In
curry at the telephone switchboard
showed a message had been sent on
the room phone from No. GEL.
Friends had gathered In the labby.
A party started for the sixth floor
in one of the elevators. AS the cage
reached the sixth floor another ele-
vator started down. A lone man was
the occupant Of the car, believed to
have been one of the abductors.
Room 651 was locked but was
opened without difficulty, and Paul
rushed into his mothers arms.
The boy said he had been held in
the room ever since he had left the
Lexington postoffice with one Of the
kidnappers Wednesday. A large part
Of the time, he said, he was locked
in the bathroom.
Paul said he was guarded by two
men. Hotel records show the room
was occupied on Sunday by a man
who registered as J. P. Cox, Cincin-

REPUBLICAN, HOUSE
LEADER READY WITH
PEACE RESOLUTION
Senator Lodge Is Under
stood to Have Given Sane
tpn to Move to Declare
War at an End

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Re-
publican house leaders, in their eff
forts to have congress speedily de-
clare peace between the United
States and Germany, had completed
today a tentative peace resolution,
which they believe will be constitu-
tional and effective.
Present plans, which have been
approved by Senator Lodge and otli-
er senate leaders, are to ask action
on it in the house next week. Rep
resentative Porter, of Pennsylva-
MIA, chairman Of the foreign affairs
committee, stated he expects to in
troduce the resolution Saturday or
Monday, although some changes may
be made In the meantime.
Assurances have been given by
Democratic Leader Kitchin that he
believes the majority Of the house
Democrats will support straight
out peace resolution, which would
not affect the status quo of the peace
treaty situation. Some Democrats
are very anxious to obtain the view
of the president on the peace reso-
luton and are considering the send
ing Of an emissary to the White
House for that purpose. Republic
ans are virtually solid for action on
an effective peace resolution.
AS outlined by Republican Leader
Mondell today, the tentative resolu-
ton declares the state of war pro-
claimed in the resolution CT April 5
1917, has ceased to exist, just as the
war resolution proclaimed a state Of
war existed. Such action, Mr.. Mon
dell said, is constitutional anu would
be effective beyond doubt. If the
president refused to sign, an over
riding Of the veto would make 1t eff
fective, he said. Other constitutions
al experts disagree with this, how
ever.
The declaration Of peace is the first
part Of the resolution. The second
part provides pivotal date for the
ending Of all war legislation. This
probably would be the date of final
approval Of the resolution. The third
part OF the resolution declares Ger
many must accept re terms Of thu
Versailles peace treaty.
