APPEALS TO THE HOOVER

GOVERNOR CALLS FOR CHURCH BELLS
TO Be T0LLED ON SUNDAY AS OPEN
ING ACT OF MOVEMENT.
TOLL THE BELLS

Christmas and starving Chill
dren. II must not be. To celebrate
truly, we of Delaware, in our peace
and plenty, must share generously
of our wealth and store. with the
starving children OF Europe. The
facts recited to use from war-swept
and famine-stricken Europe makes
America shudder. So wierd are
they that distance does not dull
the appeal. So to give to starving
children this Christmas is to serve
best the ideal and spirit born at
Bethlehem.
THE idea of tolling the church
bells on Sunday, announcing the
formal beginning of the drive, is,
indeed, a happy one. Let them toll
the needs of starving Europe-then
let them ring out the joyous news
of peace on earth. good will to
men" then it will be Christmas
indeed.

Further appropriation by congress
and the soldier bonus, which is esti-
mated will cost the government
Sl,000,000,000, are not included. Last
December Secretary Glass figured
that running expenses would amount
to S6,097,2S7, 900, but he did not take
into account the loss in government
operation of railroads.
The principal items which go to
make up the nine months expenses
are: War department, s1,301, $685.

nation setting aside May / as
American day In Kansas and re-
questing that parades and patriotic
demonstrations be held in every city

The proclamation. which attacks

AN organized group Of radical
agitators is threatening the founda-
tions Of organized society. This gov
ernment of the people. by the people,
and for the people Is on the defen-
sive.
"The question whether the Ameri-
can spirit and our historial institu-
stions shall predominate is as vital
today as was the subject OF prepared
ness four years ago, when the pre-
paredness parades revealed whole
some public sentiment at that time.
Recently this group has trans
planted In America the policy, long
in vogue In Europe, of making May
1 day given over to parades Of the
forces Of irreconcilable radicals. To
the end that people may have the
opportunity publicly to demonstrate
their Americanism and their deter
mination to uphold it against the
vicious assaults Of radicalism and
internationalism, hereby designate
and set aside Saturday, May /,
1920. as American day, and recon-
mend that the day be observed in

San Reno. April l9.-The inter-al-

sessions today in the Villa Devaucaau
on the hills to the northwest Of the
main town. =
While the Turkish question was on
the program for first consideration by
the conference, 1t develops that there
already had been discussion over the
question Of enforcing the execution OF
the treaty Of peace with Germany.
There seems no doubt that tho pre-
miers are agreed joint declaration
must be sent to Germany requiring
her to fulfill the conditions OF the
treaty, and that If she does not do so
the allies will take measures to com
pei them.
Premiers Not Fully Agreed.
The premicrs, however. nave h">
agreed on the form of pressure to be
used should Germany continue negh-
gent.
Premiers Nitti. Miiierand and L'Sya
George met late yesterday at Premier
Nitti's hotel where they were agreed
that Germany must be told that she
must adhere to the treaty, and that
she must be warned of the conse-
quences If she refused.
Premier Lloyd George suggested
economic pressure shutting off OF
food and intercourse with the allied
counties. Premier Millerand Is sald
to have declared such pressure would
be none at all. He declared 1t would
be another make believe" and that
Germany could continue intercourse
thru neutral countries just the same,
He asserted, the only pressure would
be force--the force to be determined
by the allies. Premier Llyd George
resisted this conclusion.

Chief OF Transportation Division OF

Session at st. Louis.

by Associated Press.
st. Louis. April 19.-The United
States must develop and encourage
her inland waterways If she expects
to maintain her portion in the world
of commerce.
This warning was sounded by
speakers at the Mississippi Valley
Waterways Association today. The
railroads have reached the limit Of
their capacity, 1t was emphasized.
Speakers also urged that the as
sociation be merged with the Miss
issippi Valley Association, which
meets here tomorrow.
James F. Smith, Of this city, pres
ident Of the association, asserted
America compared with Europe Of
fifty years ago, when that continent
discovered the necessity Of using
waterways Of building artificial chan

said, "but it appears we do not ap-

Welcome Water Transportation.
Brig. Gen. F. A. Hines. chief of the
transportation division Of the war
department, asserted the railroads
welcomed the revival Of water trans
portations, "a necessary ally in the
solution Of transportation problems"
Commerce has a greater and more
urgent need for waterways today
than ever before" he declared. 1.-THE
present railway situation is evidence
Of this.
"The demands which the railroads
are being called to meet are greatly
in excess Of their capacity. Railroad
men have admitted that every loco
motive plant in the country would
have to work at capacity for three
years to enable railroads to catch
up with demands.

by the Esch- Cummins railroad act,
which provides that no railroad shall
make a reduced rate on account of

"The act also provides for tho in

RADICALS ALL UNITED.


Showing Alliances of Comm unists.
Washington, April 19.-The state
department has made public de-
tailed memorandum from original
soviet sources, showing that the
creation of world soviet republic"
10y international revolution is the
common object of the communist
party, the third internationale and
the Russian soviets all three having
q common personnel"
This revelation will have bear
ing on the effort to deport Martens,
the soviet envoy to the United States,
who now claims he is not a member
Of the communist party. According to
the state department memorandum,
Martens, even if not a communist
member, is identified thru the soviet
government with the scheme to pro-
mote revolution in this and other
countries.
The program of the Russian COM
munist party" the memorandum
says, is one Of world revolution,
and the communist internationale Is
avowedly the directing and CO.
ordinating center of the international
revolutionary movement to establish
a world soviet republic 1t is i'm
possible to differentiate as to world
policy between the Russian commun-
list internationale, and the soviets,
because Of the system of 'interlock-
ing directorates common to all three.
These conclusions are supported
by seventy-four appendices, en-
bodying material from original
sources, including utterances of the
bolsheviki, extracts from their party
organs, extracts from the official
press and wireless messages of the
ssoviets. and the publications Of the
third internationale. The third in
ternationale is the internationale or
ganization of all the communist
parties Of the world"
