REUNION MANY
JEWSARRANCED
Ship Bringing 500 Wives and
Children of Polish Immigrants
on Way From .Dantzig.

New York, June "a transport
bringing 500 wives and children of Pc.
lish immigrants in this country is or
the way from Dantzig to an American
port. according to information receiv.
ed here by the Hebrew Sheltering and
Immigrant Society. This is the first
group of total of $4,000 families te
be brought to America to be reunited
with husbands and fathers from whom
they have been separated by war foi
more than six years.
The Hebrew society has undertaken
to find the wives and children of Po-
lish immigrants who have been pre-
vented by the war from sending any
aid to their families. many of whom
have been driven out of their homes
in the war zone and have become lost
to their kind in this country.
This is not project of new immf-
grafton" said John L. Bernstein, the
society's president. Much harm has
been done by the statement that we
were including Jewish people of Po-
land to come over. That is not the
fact. We have absolutely no concern
with any intended immigrants except
the wives and children of men already
in this country, more than so per cent
of whom are now American citizens.
Mr. Berstein said that the work
which the society was carrying on
was done with the hearty consent
and cooperation of the bureau of i'm
migration and the state department.
1--WE began our work." he said, by
advertising that we would attempt to
locate these mems families and help
them get to America. Our several
agencies all over the country were
Immediately flooded with pleas from
SO. 900 men who, because of the war.
had not been able to bring their
families over or even communicate
with them. In some cases the men
had no idea where their loved ones
were.
.Our task has been to take what in
formation we could get OF the last
known residences Of these wives and
children and put our commissioners
in Poland on the trial to locate them.
When this is done we advise the fam
ily head in America how much money
it will take to bring his people over
and help him and his family through
the formalities of proving their right
of admittance When the families ac-
tually arrive we will care for them
until thcy can be established in their
new homes which are scattered over
the United States but general in cities,
not in farms"

TENNESSEE IS
IN COMMISSION
Nays Newest Battleship Is
Largest and Most Formidable
Architecture Perfect.

| New York, June 6.-The super
dreadnaught, Tennessee, the larges
and most formidable battleship afloat
| is now in commission at the Brook
lyn navy yard. Constructed here at q
cost of $20.O00.o00 she represents the
last word in battleship architecture
She is 625 feet long, 9S feet abeam, and
la displacement of 32.5o0 tons.
She is the next thing to pleasure
yacht in the comfort of her appoint
ments for officers and men. she is the
battleship to recruit her entire per-
|sonnel from the state from which il
takes its name, and she represents ad-
vantages taken from lessons learned
in the battle of Jutland and other
important naval battles of the world
war.
This last special feature, which dis
tinguishes the Tennessee from all other
units of the United States navy is the
highly organized fighting brain" en-
closed in a steel fort near the top OF
the forward mast. Here are concen-
trated devices for observing enemy
ships. a device not known in the bat
tie of Jutland, enabling the crew to
quickly ascertain the position of enemy
craft Special devices are installed
in, this turret which enable the crew
to quickly train the fourteen-inch guns
on the enemy before the crew of any
other battleship known could even sight
the Tennessee. The turret consists
OF three decks and their fighting COM
plement is 25 men.
BY special signalling devices reports
from this fighting top can be flashed
instantly to all parts of the ship. thus
insuring instant correction of range and
rapid fire.
Another important feature in the
construction of the Tennessee is her
electrical speed control, enabling her
TO quickly change from her capacity
speed. of 21 knots to an almost imper-
ceptible motion. This is considered an
important point from the standpoint
of manouvering.
A large delegation of Tennessee folk
was in New York to attend the cere-
monies. Governor Roberts of Tennes-
see who was expected to be present,
that he would be unable to
do so. Captain r. H. Leigh is the
commander of the vessel.

Chicago, June 6-Dr. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler today joined the Republican
Presidential aspirants who have taken
personal charge Of their headquarters
Talking of platform principals he
said American voters want to know
precisely what Republicans plan to dc
if they carry the election and pre-
dicted Americans generally would never
accept narrow selfish international
policy which he said is embodied in
the position of Senators Johnson and
Borah. Butler termed the presidential
primaries fraud and farce and charg-
ed that methods adopted to secure sue
cess in them had been public scandal.
Los Angeles, June 6-Homer S. Cum
mings who arrived here last night from
Chicago said he would take a few days
rest before going to the Democratic
Convention at San Francisco and said
he visited Chicago to get few ideas
for arrangement of the convention
hall at San Francisco. 1 take it as an
encouraging sign for the democrats, he
continued that republicans are inves-
tigating themselves. Some of these
campaign expenditures make mighty
interesting reading.

Wood, L0wden and johnson Are
Claiming Strength But None
Has Enough to Nominate.
PLATFORM is UNCERTAIN
Mild Reservationists and Irre-
concilables Expect to Stage
Battle on the Floor

Chicago. June 6.-Prospects for q
deadlocked republican convention ars
growing with arrival of uninstructed
delegates who hold the balance OF
power. Out OF the deadlock which will
be produced by failure of Wood, Low
den. and Johnson forces to command
a majority, will come the nominee
be he dark horse or one of the big
three.
Lowden forces tonight are claiming as
high as $50 votes on first ballot and
Wood forces claim equally as many.
Johnson's claims are not stated in fig
ures but. he is claiming hourly addi-
ticns to his column.
After looking over a much mixed
situation leaders whose influence
counts have come to the conclusion to
let the candidates with the largest
number Of supporters trot few heats
to show the convention what they can
or cannot do. Those favoring this
plan feel certain no one will be nomi-
mated ON test ballots. Then they say
delegates can choose candidate from
one Of the big three or from dark
horse of which there are already too
many to record.
With the convention circle of party
leaders virtually complete. republican
platform builders went seriously to
work tonight on the more troublesome
planls remaining to be fashioned.
One was that of the Versailles treaty
and the League of Nations. subject
Of ths long standing disagreement and
bitter controversy. Another dealt with
industrial relations. bringing into con-
trast, widely diverse schools of eco
nomic thought. The third related to
Mexico which was somewhat compile
Gated by the latest developments there.
All republican leaders predicted har-
mony on all three, although most OF
them conseded some interesting scrim-
images will possibly reach the con-
vention floor. The complicating task
was the reaction against the platform
worked out in Washington on the |
grounds that republican senators have
taken too free hand with the League
of Nations fight and It is virtually |
transferred here, with irreconcilablesl
and mild reservationists Of the senate |
prepared fora hard battle. Senator
Borah arrived with plank which will
have the backing OF the Johnson forces. |
He declined to make it public but
said If it does not appear in the COM
mittee's platform. Johnson forces will
submit it to the convention.
Mild reservationists have held ru-
merous conferences and have prepared
a draft also.

Interventionist Movements Are

faith or whether they have simply been

that country, can soon now be deter

secretary of the Mexican Federation
of Labor and special representative in
this country OF Mexico's new revolu-
zionist government
The new government of Mexico
Morones says. will invite from the
United States full statement OF the
conditions that nave prevented a
friendly and harmonious relationship
between your government and Mex
leo. The new government will pledge
itself and will bend every effort TO
carry out any measures that are nee
the confidence between the two ma
tions.
These pledges, and their perfor-
nance. the new leaders in Mexico are
confident, can be made to cover those
factors which are openly urged as rea-
sons justifying Intervention.
"If. then, the interventionists con-
tinue their propaganda and activities,
it should appear reasonably plain that
the reasons for their activities are
hidden and Interior. that they do not.
in fact, rest on the desirability OF a
stable and democratic government IN
Mexico, safety OF American life and
property and such reasons as have
been so constantly emphasized
Morones was asked whether he knew,
as has been privately stated by a high
official of the state department. that
interventionist influences have been
busy to prevent any recognition by
this country of the new Mexican gov
ernment until certain great interest
with holdings in Mexico had reached
some agreement" or deal"
The new government in Mexico he
answered, recognizes the United
States government as representing all
the people. II does not recognize or
seek to deal with any faction or group.
Neither does 1t believe that any group,
no matter how powerful, can decide
what the government of all the people
of the United States shall do with re-
spect to Mexico.
I'VE believe that the new govern
ment will be able to demonstrate TO
the United States its desire to re-es-
tablish friendly and harmonious rela-
tionship with this government and is
ability to carry out all national pledges
and obligations.
I'VE hope to develop not only a more
friendly relationship between the two

THE PAVING OUTRAGE

The long suffering public in gen
eral, but the residents of East New
ark in particular, are becoming
thoroughly disgusted and indignant
over the unnecessary delay in COM
pleting the paving of East Main
street, the south half of which from
the bridge to Cedar street has been
torn up and practically in an unpas-
sable condition for the past year or
more. And while citizens and tax
PAYERS are subjected to untold IN
convenience and annoyance by the
criminal inactivity of our public
servants, the matter is pursuing in
a leisurely manner its devious and
uncertain course through the intrl-
cate mazes of what is termed our
courts of justice-a travesty on the
English language-Where it may pos
sibly receive the attention of the
powers that be when the high and
mighty wearers of the official ermine
and their lesser legal satellites feel so
inclined.
To the humble freeholder, the man
who pays the expenses, such delay
and careless Indifference to public
welfare is inexplicable and provokes
the query why such things are made
possible by our laws, and why the
protest of one or two individuals can
stay the march of a necessary i'm
provement which would be of benefit
to the entire community.
From present indications the condi-
tion of East Main street will remain
as it is throughout the winter, and
the unfortunates who live on that
most important thoroughfare will be
compelled to wade through mud al
most knee-deep to visit their neigh
bors across the street or reach city
car. While such things are permitted
to exist in city the size of Newark
can it be wondered that the feeling
of unrest and dissatisfaction already
manifested is increasing and that the
time may not be far distant when the
people will arise in their might and
demand redress for the innumerable
wrongs and indignities heaped upon
them?

CAMPAIGN of Education

A campaign of education for the
promotion of the "safety first" idea
was inaugurated at the B. ID O. shops
Monday, and at a monster meeting
held by the employees addressed were
made by Superintendent Cooper,
Manager Kruse, James P. Wolfe and
others. This movement looking to-
ward the safety of employees and the
public generally, has grown wonder
fully since it was launched by the Il.
& o. people and has resulted in un-
told benefits. Each man is urged tc
constitute himself a committee Of one
to further and promote the good
work.

Thus it suffices to say that the effect
of the League of Nations depends
! upon the character of the writer's anC
promoters, and not entirely upon the
comedian or tragedian, who makes
the people laugh or cry, who is EN-
ployed to lead the audience to believe
that mere acting is reality.
The pilot of the play is an old enc
with new words written by General
Smuts, Sir Robert Cecil and Gar
Nicholas Wilson. Lord Grey is bus
mess manager, Lloyd George is stage
manager, and last, but not least in
Importance, is Lord Northcliff, the
electrician with his gigantic switch
board, the Associated Press, with its
wires running to all ports of the hip
podrome with which he dims The
light on certain parts and illumi-
mates other places and persons as the
occasion requires.
In the first scene Of the initial act
the entire voltage was turned into
the wire leading to Versailles, and the
eyes and minds of the audience was
drawn in that direction through the
headlines of the newspapers. In the
second scene a spotlight was turned
upon Woodrow Wilson, who was max
ing his debut in the leading cole as
the heroic deliverer of the oppressed.
Unfortunately for the promoters in
this scene Woodrow seems to nave
come in contact with some live wires
leading to the United States congress
and their hero received a severe snock
from which he could not recover, ard
they had to ring down the curtain.
The delay in the program was brief
however, inasmuch as all big show
producers have, in case of injury or
illness of their leading stars, an as
sistant or understudy. Therefore in
this case it was only necessary for
the valet de chambre or wardrobe
man to arrange the toilet of one Jas.
M. Cox, who for some time had been
rehearsing behind the curtain. Bar
ring accidents, the first act will run
till November the second On cleo
ton day the American people Will
vote to reject or accept a portion Of
interest in the company, and if ac-
cepted the second act will be SHOWN
as prearranged. This, if produced
will be pathetic; the stage is otna-
mented with flags, with the flag Of
the nations waving over all the others.
The walls are to be adorned with the
portraits of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln and others, with faces turned
to the wall. Lloyd George will be
seated on a throne of the most geor-
geous style, with the border an%
footlights on full and a spotlight
focused on him from the balcony.
Before him will be Uncle Sam bowling
in submission to his decisions, and
while we are gazing in amazement at
this strange scene millions of our
American boys will be herded to-
gether and sent to police Europe and
subdue the millions of paupers and
to protect kings and the tyrants Of
the world.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-10-22

These lines express the views of
Shakespeare, and no doubt they were
fitting in his time. But time in its
flight effects many changes.
The world today is a mammoth hip
acknowledgement is the stage, and
her diplomatic body the actors, play
wrights and stage employees; and the
rest of the people the audience who
are compelled to pay the cost Of her
production. The spectacular melo-
drama produced, which is intended to
excite wonder and admiration by an
unusual display of pomp and scenic
effects, is entitled "The League of
Nations" The actors who play the
parts only speak lines written by
someone else, and it is chiefly upon
the efficiency Of those who work be-
hind the curtain that the success of
the show depends. The playwriter,
business and stage managers, chief
electrician, electric switch board ope-
rator and numerous others of lesser
Importance have an important part.
The style and effect of any produc-
ton depends upon the writer. Men
of pure morals seldom write dis
tasteful burlesque, and men with an
inclination towards things immoral
are not apt to produce a play from
thoughts derived from the Bible
