No Politics Behind Move, Is
Claim, and Say That Men of
Both Parties viii Aid Move

Petitions for the commission form
of government for this city will be
placed in circulation this afternoon.
The petitions have been drawn by
Attorney Harry 8. Medinets and may
be obtained at his ONCE by those who
understood that there Is no political
influence back of the movement, and
that both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis prominent In the city have
urged Attorney Medinets TO draw up
the petitions and place them in cir
culation.
Men active in both parties. though
TO see the best government obtain
able for the city are interested In
tho movement, It was said today. At
torney Medinets today stated that he
extends an invitation for anyone to
aid in the work of obtaining Hgners

his support.
The law requires that twenty per
cent. of the voters, qualified to vote

to obtain the names required for the
petitions

low:

GREAT IMPETUS
F0Ry.M. H. A.
Senior Boys Division Pledges
$1,000 Toward Fund for
New Association Home.

The preliminaries to the big Y. NJ.
ii. A. building campaign received
great impetus last night when, at a
meeting called TO discuss the comm &
event, the senior boys division
pledged $1,000 toward the building
fund. Although regular business was
transacted in the earlier part of the
evening, 1t needed just a suggestion
of donation to enthuse the boys to
the highest pitch and inspire them TO
take tho action which started the
ball rolling. A special committee was
selected to arrange for the social
events which VIII help the boys raise
the $1,000 which is TO be paid In two
years.
Louis Brenner, the campaign di-
rector, told the boys that they might
all consider themselves upon the
committee to work for the building,
and though there might be no glory
in II, and In all probability not the
least publicity for the younger peo-
pie, the older members of the COM
mittees would look for the coopera-
tion of the younger set to bring about
the necessary results. Mr.. Brenner
held the older people up as an ex-
ample TO the senior members, saying
that, although every one of the peo-
pie on the executive and other COM
mittees are extremely busy people,
they were all finally signed up 10
perform some substantial duty in this
activity.
1t was voted to draw up resolu-
ton to be sent to the executive COM
mittee, as coming from the senior
boys of the Y. Nj. III. A. pledging their
earnest support and willingness to
perform whatever duties are asked of
them in connection with the cam
paign. 1t was explained that there
would be an organization among the
younger people exactly parallel to
the one now organized by the older
folks for the drive
One OF the purposes of the meet
ing to elect representatives to the
state convention to be held In New
ark next fall was fulfilled. George
Miller, Jacob karkus and Harry
Medinets were chosen, while Leo
Slobodien. Henry Nussbaum and
Louis Daitz will act as alternates.
1t was also decided to hold Il joint
w. II. a. to discuss arrangements
for the campaign ON June 2. This
will have been the first time these
two organizations have met together
at n business meeting.
1sadore jacobson, editor of the
Courier" the Y. NJ. II. A. periodical,
told the members that the staff is get
ting out a special campaign edition.
which win explain the workings of
the activities and will be especially
interesting at this time
Mr.. Jacobson was also selected as
publicity chairman OF the Y M. II.
A. to act in conjunction with that
Office in the older peoples organiza-
ton, and Leo Lowenkopf. the direc-
tory chairman.
After the business of the meet
ing was transacted punch made by
the girl scouts was served with
frankfurters and the membership,
seated about the electrically illumi
mated camp fire in the middle of the
room sang many of the old songs
and gave vent to their enthusiasm
about the coming new building.

V0N BERNSTORFF
FAVORED HOUSE
Light Thrown on President
Wilson's Peace Proposals at
Probe Being Conducted.

BERLIN, May 26:-Colonel E. NJ
House was recommended to the Ger
man foreign Office by Count Won
Bernstorff, then German ambassador
In Washington, when the former
made his second trip to Europe early
in 1916 as President Wilson's person
al representative, according to a let
ter from the ambassador to GotlietZ
Won Jagow, at that time foreign Sec
retary. These letters have been pub
lished here with other documents
presented before the parliamentary
investigation committee which in
quired into President Wilson's peace
proposals during the war.
Viewed from the local stand
point" Count Won Bernstorff wrote
on November %, 1915, on the eve Of
the colonel's departure, the mission
of Colonel House appears to be de-
sirable especially as the United States
is SO poorly represented in Berlin.
Colonel House is wholly neutral, very
discreet and deserving confidence
contributed much to the betterment
of mutual relations"
Count Won Bernstorff informed his
superiors in the same letters that
Americans were at that time chiefly
interested in restoration of peace and
abolition OF militarism and navalism.
He added that Germany would be
able to compel England to recognize
the freedom of the seas only II sup
ported by the United States and II
Germany consented to end militar-
ism.
IF l receive no reply on this point
from your excellency," he concluded,
II will continue to treat Colonel
House in a dilatory manner. Up TO
now he has been very useful to me-"
A letter from Dr. Solf, minister of
Colonies to DIR. Won Jagow. reported
the formers conversation with Colo
mel House late In January 1916. In
1t Colonel House was credited with
statements relative to the political
situation in England.
President Wilson's emissary was
quoted IS describing Viscount Grey,
then British secretary of state foreign
affairs, "as the most practicable Eng
fish statesman"
Colonel House was alleged to have
told DIR. Solf that there was a strong
anti American feeling in England at
that time and England was not aware
of the extent to which notes were
being exchanged between Washington
and Germany.
Sentiment in England then under
went complete reversal it was said
and it was out of the question to bring
up the issue of revision of the doc
trine of the freedom of the seas.
A memorandum of a conversation
Colonel House had with DIR. Teobald
Bethmann-Hollweg, at that time i'm
perial chancellor, has also been pub
lished by the commission. The chan
cellor deplored the fact that Count
Won Bernstorff and DR.. Durnburg had
exploited the issue of the freedom of
the seas, which he says had injured
Germany's cause in the United
States"
