SPAIN IS ACCUSED
Of PR0.GERMAN|SM
PLANNED TO ENTER WAR ON
SIDE OF CENTRAL POWERS IN
1918, IT Is ALLEGED
Was Restrained Only by Naval At
tache at Madrid, 1t Is Asserted.
Had knowledge Of Spain's
Friendship for Huns.

WaShingtOn.-The remarkable dis
closure that Spain was about to Ell
ter the war against the United State!
and the allies in the spring of 1918
and was prevented only by the effort.
of the American naval attache ant
his associates in Madrid, was made
Saturday in letter from Rear Ad
miral Benton c. Decker, who is now
in charge of the Seventh Naval dis
tricts with headquarters at Key West
Florida.
Admiral Decker was the United
States naval attache at Madrid at the
time of the great German offensive in
1918 and his letter contained a declin.
alton of the navy cross awarded him
At the same time it revealed the great
post-armiStice sensation.
In connection with the disclosure
of Admiral Decker, 1t was revealed Off
cially that when the submarine cam
paign off the Spanish coast in the At
lantic, the Bay of Biscay and the Med
iterranean was at it's height, the al
lied governments, including the United
States, dispatched note to Madrid
calling attention to the apparent ease
with which depradations were COM
mitted on allied shipping. Soon after
the transmission of this note Spain ad-
dressed communication to Germany,
emphasizing the fact that she was a
neutral, and she followed this up by
interning some of the German under
water craft.
These events apparently confirm the
opinion of Admiral Decker that the at
titude of Spain, at least of the Span
ish court, was of extreme danger to the
cause Of the allies, and likewise one
which took little account of the sup
posed position Of neutrality which the
nation had declared.
1t is evident from the letter of the
American officer that he had positive
knowledge that the Spanish foreign Of
fee, in March, 1918, was in favor of
having Spain cast her luck with Ger.
many. England, however, it was
learned, suspected the Spanish foreign
office from the very beginning Of the
war. One Of the most sensational
episodes at the outset of the war was
the seizure of the steamship Kroon-
land at Gibraltar This vessel car
ried large cargo of copper, and al
though this was to have been landed |
at 2 Spanish port, it was seized by the |
British authorities on the theory that |
he ultimate destination of the metal |
vas to be Germany.
Had Spain entered the war on the |
side Of Germany during the crucial
lays of 1918, it is doubtful whether the
lilies would have been victorious, and,
It all events, whether the struggle
would now be over. |

NOTED PHYSICIAN DEAD.
Or. osIer Dies After Several Weeks
IInesss in England.

Oxford, England.-Sir William o.
ler noted physician, who had been
Ill for several weeks, died here De-
cember 20.
Dr. Osler was professor of medicine
at Johns Hopkins university from 1880
to 1904. He was born in Canada in
1S49.
In 1905, at the CommemoratiOn day
excuses of Johns Hopkins university
of Baltimore, in which he served as
professor of medicine, DR.. Osler deliv-
cred the address in which he spoke Of
"the comparative uselessness of men
above 40 years of age" His words,
then spoken without thought Of how
far-reaching they would be, passed
round the world in garbled form of
every variety. He was quoted as hav-
ing said, in effect, that men past that
age were of no value in the progress
of humanity and that men who had
reached the age of 60 should be chloro-
formed. DR.. Osler remained silent for
a long time before issuing denial
that he had made such statement.

ALLIES PREPARE TO
EFFECT PEACE PACT
PRESIDENT WILSON MAY CALL
LEAGUE MEETING AS WAS
ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
Notice Of First Meeting Of Council to
be Given Soon Following Ratifi-
cation Exchanges. - Premier
CIemenceau May Preside.

Paris.-InfOrmal notice of the first
meeting of the council Of the league
of nations will probably be given day
or two after the exchange of ratifica-
tons Of the treaty of Versailles. Am
bassador Wallace cabled the state de-
partment in Washington to this effect
after Monday mornings meeting of
the supreme council, which had the
question under consideration.
1t is still an open question whether
the formal call for the meeting shall
be issued by President Wilson as orig
inally provided for, or whether in
view of the fact that the United
States has not ratified the treaty the
call shall be issued by Premier Glenn
enceau, the president of the peace con-
ference.
Under the terms of the peace treaty
Germany was to furnish by December
81 statement regarding a number of
different questions dealt with by the
treaty. AS the exchange of ratifica-
lions Is not yet definitely in sight,
however, the council considered the
possibility of extending the time for
this statement.
The conditions under which Ger
many is to turn over the light cruisers
demanded as part of the reparation for
the destruction of the Scapa Flow
fleet also were discussed by the coun-
ell.
The difficulty arising from the fact
that the United States has not rati-
fled the treaty ana President Wilson
consequently will not be able to issue
an official convocation will be sur
mounted, according to the councils
plan, by President Wilson issuing an
unofficial call.
It Is considered here impossible that
the first meeting Of the council will
be held in Washington, as originally
provided. The impression here is
that the members of the council will
be asked to come to Paris.

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-12

All this is mentioned, not merely
for the purpose Of criticism, but to
point out in what a sorry state the
finances Of the Federation now are;
and if its constituent organizations
do not soon come to its assistance,
its situation, following the conven-
ton, becomes even worse than before,
since that was the last hope for re-
organizing the Federation along new
er and sounder lines.
Of the newly elected administra-
tive group, little can yet be said be-
fore it has shown its capacities One
thing there is to be said in it's favor,
however, and that is-that it is DEM
ocratic; it consists almost entirely
of plain folks. And when a man of
prominence, who should grace the
Federation as its president was
sought among the delegates, such
one was not to be found; so that, for
the moment the Federation remains
without president. Also, no Sec
rotary has been elected by the con-
vention, and it remains for the ex-
ecutive committee to find a suitable
man, who can bring the necessary en-
ergetic forcefulness into the FEEDER
alton. Joseph Barondess agreed to
accept the treasurership.
Among the most important tasks
which the Federation has taken upon
itself is that Of sending food and
clothing supplies and tools to the
Ukraine, and of helping the Jews
there to get on their feet again, not
through charity and aims, but
through regulated and systematized
constructive work.
1t was also resolved to send at
least seven more commissioners to
the Ukraine, and it was calculated
that these commissioners would en-
tail an expenditure of $4,000, or
about $4,000 for each commissioner.
The convention appealed to the
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-12

American government and people not
to apply the severe immigration laws
Of the country to the widows end or
phans Of Ukrainian Jews, and asked
that all such be admitted to the coun-
try without restrictions. Their rela-
tives and countrymen here will un-
dertake to care for them and will not
allow them to become public charges.
This is practically the sum total of
the convention. A convention of
much talk, many suggestions-and
the practical work now remains to
be begun.
An informal conference occurred
this week between Jewish legion
naires and the American Red Mogen
David to consider plans by which the
two organizations can work together,
and to decide what lines Of work
ought to be undertaken Immediately.
The legionnaires are chiefly Phil
adelphians, and they have recently
founded a legionnaires association
there, which so far numbers about
rs members. A similar organization
of legionnaires is in process of for
nation in New York. The Philadel-
phia legionnaires sent their repre-
sentatives to the convention of the
American Red Mogen last month,
and undertook to go along side by
side with the Red Mogen David, in
their work.
What is their work? This is not
clear even to the legionnaires, them
selves, but most of them are of the
opinion that their task is to help their
brother legionnaires who have re-
NAMED in Palestine, and also to help
those American legionnaires who wish
to return to Palestine. These cover
all their obligations. The Red Mogen
David, however, wishes to do work
outside Palestine, and has in fact,
volunteered to help the Federation
