In letter 10 President Wilson he
said: u am compelled to take this
step because ! feel out of sympathy
with the anti-radical policies of Mr..
Palmer and his methods Of CARRYING

81 am strongly opposed to the whole
sale ralding of aliens that is being
carried on throughout the country with
view to putting through deportations
under the act of October l6, 1913. To
my mind this policy is both unwisc and
unjust. | am also utterly opposed TO
the enactment of a new espionage act

all lntents and purposes, at peace"
NJ. Kane also sent q letter to Attor-

on the treatment of so-called radicals.
He protested against the contemplated

MiscOnceived His

in Answer to PhiIadel-
phia L. S. Attorney Who
Resigned Job in Protest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Attorney
General Palmer, replying tonight to a
letter from Francis Fisher Kane an
nouncing his resignation as United
States Attorney for Eastern Pennsyl-
vania on account OF disagreements with
the policy of the Department of Justice,
charged the attorney with IAN appar-
emf misconception of the duties of the
Department of Justice in the enforce
men. of the laws as written. For that
reason. Mr.. Palmer wrote Attorney
Kane that he was bound to say that
your resignation seems to me to be
quite the proper step for you to take"
In an extended summary of the
causes prompting the investigation OF
the department into radical activities.
to which Attorney Kane particularly
took exception, Attorney General Pal
mer wrote
you have no doubt studied the situ-
alton to a considerable extent and
know that during the early part of 1919
the Socialist party of America was rent
with dlssenslon caused by certain ele-
ments within its organization, which
advocated recourse to mass action as
the means to obtain the reforms con-
sldered necessary by them, plan
which was contrary to the fundamen-
tai principles Of socialism, as / under
stand them, which advocate the obtain
ing of reforms through the ballot and
by political action.
Communist Party Formed
"This dissenson in the ranks OF the
Socialist party resulted on September
1, 1919, in the creation of two organi-
zations-namely the Communist party
of America and the Communist Labor
party. Immediately upon the forma-
tion Of the Communist parties a pro-
gram and manifesto were adopted by
these parties, based upon the manifesto
of the Third International, adopted on
March at Moscow AS specifically
stated in the manifesto of the Third
international and its program, the ac-
complishment Of its aims was not to
be reached by merely the conquest of
the political power of the so-called
bourgeois state, but was to be reached
by the destruction Of the state"
1t was because, sIr. Palmer wrote, of
the adoption of this manifesto by the
Communist parties in the United States
as their program of action, and be-
cause of these parties evident inten-
ton of making the industrial unrest in
tant," that the raids were conducted.
kane's Criticism Answered
Replying to Mr.. kanes comment that
better results would have been OBJ
tanned from the raids on radicals if
the action had been concentrated upon
ring leaders, Mr.. Palmer said that "to
have arrested an individual member
would have been as useless as to en-
deavor to cure a great epidemic merely
by the isolation OF one single case Of
the disease"
Regarding the procedure followed in
the deportation of an alien, the At
torney General stated that he had
failed to find any instance in which
an injustice had been done an alien.

Enver Pasha's Trickery
Made Turks Pro.Cerman
War Minister Blamed for Sc
crct Deal That Led to Goeben
Shelling Russian Ships

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 23.-Tur-
key became involved in the great war
through the Vaccinations of the war
party led by Enver Pasha, War Min
lister in 1914, according to statements
before secret parliamentary com
mittee which are published in news
papers here. The arrival Of the Ger
man cruiser Goeben in August, 1914,
was the dominating cause of Turkey
Powers.
When the war came, the newspapers
say, the majority of the Turkish Cabi-
net was friendly to the Entente. The
war party, however, insisted that
Turkey should acquire the Goeben to
take the place OF Turkish ships which
had been rcquisitioned by England.
Objection was made that the Goeben
would attack Russian vessels while un-
der Turkish coiors, but Enver Pasha
declared the commander had pledged
himself not TO make any such attack.
Decision was reached by the
war, and it was agreed that when
Turkey took her stand on the
side of the Entente the Goeben and
her sister ship, the Breslau, would be
bomharded by. the Bosporus forts
trvor Pasha, however, made secret ar
engagements with the Germans and the
Goeben joined the Black Sea fleet. On
August 20, 1911, the Goobcn came IN
contact with Russian fleet and, while
flying the Turkish flag, destroyed two
Russian ships. This act brought about
turkeys alignment against the En-.
tcnte. The facts were misrcprcsented
BY the censors, and the Turkish public
even the Sultan. believed for severa'
zears that the Russians attacked The

Investigation to Result Over the

Special Correspondence

CHICAGO. Jan. 23-"The schools Of
Chicago will not tolerate or foster
Bolshevism," said Peter A. Mortenson,
superintendent OF schools. in announc-
ing that a thorough investigation of
the system would follow the indict-
ment by grand jury of Miss Helen
Pratt Judd. a teacher in the Wicker
Park School.
The investigation ought to be a
vehicle to let the Board of Education
make it plain that Communist party
principles cannot be disseminated by
teachers" said Mr.. Mortenson, in dis
cussng the inquiry regarding alleged
radical tendencies among teachers.
Investigations OF the activities of Miss
Judd was begun by Superintendent Nor
tenson to-day. District superintendent
Charles D. Lowry was ordered to in
vestigate the teachings of Miss Judd
and to make a report. Miss Judd was
said to be a secretary Of the First
North Side Branch of the Communist
porty.
"If it should develop that a teacher
is merely member of an organza-
ticn," said superintendent Mortenson
at will not be so bad. But if she is
an out-and-out Red it will be en-
tirely different. Bolshevlk propaganda
has no place in the Chicago schools"

Told
Not to Alter
Reservations
Continued from page I

Senator Sutherland, of West Virginia,
one of the Republican Presidential
candidates, told Senator Lodge to-day
he would not support any compromise.
He was not in the conference with the
"irreconcilablcs,' but he said tonight:
No Fear for Issue
"I was opposed to the whole treaty,
and | compromised much further than
| cared to 90 when | voted for the
Lodge reservations. Therefore. if
there is the slightest yielding in the
Lodge reservations | will vote to re-
ject the treaty if it is the last DO
litical act Of my life. | have so I'M
formed Senator Lodge. l have no fear
of the issue so far as my political
future is concerned. l am certain that
the American people will never
countenance any surrender
Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jer-
sey, last night announced his opposi-
tion to further compromise. Senator
Johnson's statement at the conclusion
Of the conference read:
"After months Of deliberation and
debate the Senate agreed 20 certain
reservations. which of themselves. rep
resent the compromise. 1t is admitted
by every one that these reservations,
called the Lodge reservations, were the
very least that should be done for the
protection Of America. In the language
of Senator Lodge they constituted the
irreducible minimum Personally am
unable to see how there can be any
compromise upon the least possible
protection to America or upon reser-
vatons which are the irreducible min
imum' in safeguarding American insti-
tutlons. For one, desire to express
this view. To me there can be no
compromise with American honor or
of American protection. They enslave
their children's children who would
compromise with sin"
Democrats Not Hopeful
Word of the Republican "revolt" got
around the Senate cloakrooms quickly
and did not fill the Democrats with
optimism Senator Hitchcock said he
still hoped an agreement would be pos
sible and said the bipartisan confer
ences would continue tomorrow, but if
the Republican insurgents muster
thirty eight votes the hopes Of the
Democrats will die.
The showdown is expected to come at
once. If there is no decision tomorrow
by the conference committee either to
abandon their meetings and report in
ability to get together or to bring out
new set of compromise reservations
the whole subject probably will be taken
to the floor next week and given a thor
ough airing. When it does get to the
floor the treaty probably will stay there
until the Senate ard the country are
convinced beyond doubt that it cannot
be ratified or it is put through with the
Lodge reservations attached to it.
While the conferences were going on
to-day between Senator Lodge and the
"irreconciables," former President Will
lam H. Taft appeared at the Capitol and
discussed the situation briefly with some
CT the mild rcservationsts," including
Senators McCumbcr, McNary, Cummins
and Kellogg.

Ashurst Says Politics
In Senate Hats Treaty

finl Candidates Marx, Time.
He Asserts. as Knrid Wnifs

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Assaiing
the Senate for inaction on the peace
treaty, soldier legislation and other
domestic measures, Senator Ashurst,
Democrat, of Arizona, in what he
characterized rs "a non partisan''
speech, declared day that both Re-
publicans and Democrats in the Sen
ate were "playing politics while tho
country and the world waited for
action
Neither side was making a good rec
ord, Senator Ashurst said, because
fifteen or twenty Senatorial Presi-
dental candidates were marking time,
waiting to see which way the wind
Of public favor blows.
Throughout tho nation,' said the
Senator, sentiment is growing in favor
of the candidacy of man who has
no party Affiliations we know Of. =
cause the people know he is d man Of
action and not OF words.
~ would like to see the next Presi-
dent come from the Senate. But I
know the people Of the country are
disguised with our kind Of statesman-
ship. The peace treaty is lodged here
III the Senate because of partisan poll
world go forward with the lquida-
ton of their liabilities and the recon
struction of their commerce. The
treaty cannot be ratified as it stands,
all sane men know, but we should stay
here and vote and vote and vote until
we ratify it in some shape and not sit
and wait for the President to rccedc
from his position. for VIC all know he
cannot do that hAAorably.
"Wc should take up the treaty to-
day. | assure you that the President
would be the most delighted man IN
the country to learn that we on this
side could do something of our own
yolltion."
