Soviet Seized Supplies of
Englis In Conn mittee

Published reports that the Soviet
government of Russia had recently
contiscated the food supplies of the
American and English Friends Service
Committee operating in Moscow were
denied yesterday by Frederick Libby
of the American committee, at lunch
con in the Hotel Commodore.
Mr.. Libby read cablegram he re-
ceived Wednesday from Arthur Watts
the directing head of the Friends Com
mittee in Russia, which in effect de-
clares that the food and other supplies
are intact in the committees ware
houses and that the Soviet government
has not hampered the committee in any
way, but has aided it considerably
The discussion at the luncheon was
devoted to the sufferings of the Rus
sian children,
After George w. Wickersham, who
presided, had made a brief address in
which he pleaded for immediate aid for
the Russian children he introduced

Lackaye in Irish Plea
Believes ''Time Has Passed
When Hypllen Should Be
Viewed With Disfavor"

Twelve hundred men and women oi
the theateS filled the grand ballroom Of
the Hotel Astor yesterday afternoon
as hosts and hostesses to Archbishop
Patrick j. Hayes, the guest of honor
at luncheon rendered by the Catholic
Actors Guild.
Wilton Lackaye, in vigorous
speech declared that self-determina-
tion in Ireland, in the broadest sense
that ex-President's Wilson's statement
comprehended. was the deepest wish
in the hearts of the Irish people.
To the right or left of the Arch
bishop sat Brandon lyman, president of
the guild; John Mccormack, Chauncey
Olcott, Dorothy Jardon, Wilton Lack
aye, Augustus Thomas, William A
Brady, David Belasco, Judge Victor
j. Bowling, Father Duffy and Grant
Mitchell
Archbishop Hayes said that it came
as pleasant surprise to him that. hay
ing been invited to attend the luncheon
as a guest, he found that it was in
tended as personal tribute.
The Archbishop urged the theater
folk to come to the church occasionally
and warm themselves at its fireside
They really haa great responsibility
to the public. he said, and cautioned
them never to forget that, behind the
artificiality of the stage, they were
still men and women and were account
able for what they did with their tai
ents of imitation.
Wilton Lackaye, pleading for a ces-
sation of what he referred to as a
bigoted and subtle propaganda, said
that the time had passed when the
hyphen should be viewed with dis
favor. Speaking vigorously in behalf
of Ireland, he said that the testing
rod would show it's truest reading
when placed in the hearts of the peo-
pie, and not in Rome, Paris or 10
Downing Street.
Mr.. Lackaye said that he refused to
believe statement by the American
Ambassador to st. James's to the effect
that America went into the war to save
It's own hide, "and too late, at that"
America had come back from the war.
he said, filled with the moral courage
that made Grant bigger hero at Ap-
pomattoX than he had been at Shiloh.
There was no need, William A. Brady,
the next speaker, said, for the appoint
ment of the motion picture board of
censorship. The producers could do
that themselves. Within the next six
months, he said, the movies would be
put into such shape that they would be
all that the decent people of the coun-
try could desire. He quoted British
statesman, who said that the American
motion picture was Americanizing the
whole world
Judge Bowling, who is legal adviser
to the guild, spoke briefly, saying that
the Archbishop was arranging prac
tical and elaborate plan to make the
Catholic Actors Guild national in
stitution for the general welfare of
the stage.
Brandon lyman, Augustus Thomas
and Father Duffy also spoke.

The man who dared write it is Cap
tain Peter E. Wright, whose Job

opportunities for observation were
exceptionally good-and the things
he discusses were those which he
actually saw and heard. He doesn't
mince words. He holds up several
popular heroes as men who tried to
lose the war-and nearly succeeded.
His charges virtually amount to
conspiracy and treason, with three
prominent officers as his chief
targets.

Memorial Day a Peace Beacon,
Harding Tells American Legion
History HAS Proved Valor and Unselfslaness of the
Nations Sons; Task Now Is to Make Further
Sacrifices Needless, He Declares

President Harding, in Memorial
Day message TO the American Legion
made public last night, expressed hope
that the years would bring less need
for further national sacrifices. The
message follows;
Americans have never been much
given to the establishment of holidays
and fete days. Perhaps our national
life has been so short, and within so
matter-of-fact and practical period Of
the worlds history that we have been
little moved by tho sentiments that
such occasions inspire. Yet, think no
nation has ever established a national
day of consecration that represented a
more lofty and ennobling sentiment
than does our national Memorial Day.
10 its observance we have brought the
full measure of sincere reverence and
gratitude that great people is ever to
entertain for those who have made the
great sacrifice in its behalf.
Memorial Day marks our recogni-
ton OF those who, from our national
beginnings, have deserved the most
that the nation could give of gratitude
and appreciation. 1t reminds us that

TO the Argonne, our valorous sons have
well deserved the highest tribute that
nation fortified, defended, preserved
could give to them. Whenever tho de
mand has come, and whenever it NAV
have called the sons of our proud land
1T has always been answered Though
we have never been a militant or war
loving people, there has been no time
when Americans did not rise to the
full measure of the requirement. which
national honor and national safety i'm
posed upon them. When national
safety was the cause the response was
always insistent and decisive. When
civilization summoned, and our sons
were called to other sens and skies
and soils, we saw the same promptnes SIS,
the same zeal, the same devotion.
"On this Memorial Day of 1921. we
stand, | trust, very close to peace
achieved, to safety insured. MAY it be
our common aim and purpose that. in
the coming years, our nations aim
and policy shall be directed to make
certain that there shall be least need
for further sacrifices, greatest guar
antics of the stability, the permanance
and the inspiring character of those
institutions of liberty to which our
