the German born voters were influence
ed by the wishes of the country of their
birth they would side with the demo-
Gratis who want to see the league OF
nations established, because it Is a fac,
that Germany fully expected the United
states to be member of the all-im-
portant reparations commission and to
help keep down the size of the in
demnlty. 1t is striking confirmation
OF the American viewpoint expressed at
the Paris conference by President Will
son that the imposition of an unlimited
indemnity now has been abandoned.
Germany fully counted on American in
f1uence in the league of nations to get
her a square deal" But it is a serious
question how much German sympathiz-
ers IN America are in touch with the
desires of the fatherland and how much
more vital to them is the expression of
a protest against the democratic admin
iStration which offended them during
the war.
To the Poles the republicans and
democrats will present different as
poets of Poland's plight The demo-
Gratis Will say the troubles in Poland
today are due to neglect by the
powers, and especially the inability
of America to help through the league
OF nations, while the republicans
PRESIDENT Wilson's stubbornness kept
America from being in the league to
render that help.
Among the Czechoslovaks and Ju-
goslavs the assistance already rem
dered by America to the new repub-

claiming of credit by the democrats
for the part played by President Will
son in the establishment of those
countries, and by the republicans for

trail Europe by Herbert Hoover, who
has announced his support of Senator
Harding.
But fundamentally Mr.. Harding has
opened up with the question of the
sympathies of the foreign born in the
event that dispute arises between
the United States and the country of
their birth.
The dissension inside America, when
the United States got into conflict
with Germany. occurred. say the
democrats. when there was no league
over. that the sh-Americans have
sat in the Hobbies of Congress and in
fiuenced the passage o, resolution
after resolution offensive to Great
Britain. On the other hand, Mr.. Wilson
himself has contended that because
American was made up of various ma
tionalities her people could bring
friendly influence to bear and could
better understand European contro-
versies. Senator Harding is confident
from Americas experience with the
hyphen in the war with Germany that
the United States would be perpetu-
ally torn with disputes among her
own citizens il this country sat on a
council and discussed European ques-
tions. 1t is considered by republicans
as one of the most powerful argu-
ments that could be made against
Americas entrance into the league
and will unquestionably be the basis
of republican efforts TO secure the
support of foreign born voters for a
policy OF hands off Europe. But the
trouble is that many foreign born
want America to use her influence in
Europe and to mix in. It's two
edged sword.

COLLADAY CLEARED
IN COP. FUND CASE
Committeeman for D. c. Ex-
0nerated by Loeb of Re-
ceiving $1,000.

Edward F.. Colladay, republican ma
tional committeeman for the District
Of Columbia, has been cleared Of any
participation in the $1,000 fund sent
to Washington by William Loeb, jr.,
during the campaign to win delegates
favorable to Gen. Wood. This contri-
button was mentioned in the Senate
investigation of campaign contribu-
tons and was brought to the aten-
ton of the republican national COM
mittee, in an endeavor to disqualify
and discredit Mr.. Colladay.
In letter made public today Mr..
Loeb specifically eXonerates Mr.. Col
laday and says that the money was
sent to an "ex-national committee
man" in the District.
Mr.. LoebS reply was as follows:
Il am in receipt of your letter of
July 80, and am sorry if my testimony
caused you any embarrassment.
find 1 was mistaken in saying that l
sent Wood campaign funds to the re-
publican national committeeman of
the District of Columbia, and have
since learned il was an eX-national
committeeman.
Mr. Colladay said today that he and
his organization did not have time to
enter into any newspaper controversy
with any individuals, but that he had
no objection to giving out a letter
which he had written to Mr.. Loeb
about this matter and MIR. Loeb's re-
ply.
Mr.. Colladay further said that he
had not paid much attention to these
various controversies; that he and
the official republican organization
were very busily engaged devoting
their entire efforts to the general well
fare of the republican party.

HELPLESS
IN DRY CAMPAIGN

SpeciaI Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md. August 5.-The
police of Baltimore city have no
power to make an arrest for violation
OF the VolStead act. nor can they
validity execute federal processes is
sued under provisions of that act.
This is the gist of the supplementary
opinion of Attorney General Arm
strong given to Police Commissioner
Gather today.
This opinion leaves the enforcement
of the dry law exclusively in the
hands of the federal officials. Accord
ing to the opinion, if a police officer
interferes in any violation of the fed
eral act and makes an arrest for
"bootlegging or any other violation
of the act the arrested party can con-
test the legality of the arrest by a po-
lice officer of the state of Maryland.
in his first opinion the attorney
general held the city police were not
obligated TO assist in the enforcement
OF the prohibition law. He was then
asked for an opinion as to whether
thew had the right to make an arrest
for the violation OF the law wher
called upcn to do so by the fedora,
officials. In todays opinion the at
torney general holds they have no
lation of the Nolstead act.
The opinion in conclusion says: My
final conclusion. therefore. is that the
police of Baltimore city do not at this
time by virtue of their official posi-
ton possess the right to make legal
arrests for violation of the Noistead
act or validity to execute FEDERAL
process issued by virtue OF this pro-
vision"
