P'ro-Eeague Republicans
Statement of Their Willingness to Follow Harding
No Election Mandate

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The pro-league Republicans hav.
ing in charge the proposed memoria
to Viviani ask you to publish the FOL
lowing statements:
The reports in last Sundays papers
that there was "row" over the sub.
mission of the Republican memorial
to Viviani are entirely erroneous. The
facts are these: Upon a suggestion
made in the most friendly spirit that
its presentation at this time might enl-
barrass either Viviani or the Admins
tration, the question was promptly
submitted to an eminent authority
After some days of consideration he
replied that in the existing delicate
situation it was possible that it Nigh.
embarrass. The advice was cheerfully
accepted by those having the matter in
charge, and the presentation was vc-
cordingly abandoned with the intention
of getting the statement Of the pro-
league Republican viewpoint and atti-
tude before the public in some other
way.
The attitude Of prc-league Republi-
cans in general is, as we understand it,
one of willingness to follow President
Harding either into the existing league,
with safeguarding reservations, or into
a new association Of nations that shall
have the sanction Of the craftsmanship
Of the world and give fair promise Of
the preservation Of peace. But In tax
ing this position they would have It
distinctly understood that they would
favor new association Of nations upon
its merits only and not upon the
ground that such was tho mandate Of
the election, which, in their view, was
quite different.
They understand that the vote was
determined by the platform and record
Of the party and the public utterances
of the candidate
AS to the platform, opinions differ
as TO whether it favors our entry into
the league with strong reservations. in
Guiding total rejection of Article K.
or the creation of new association Of
nations. 1t left such room for doubt
that the voter might interpret It to
his own liking. But the entire coun-
try was we'll informed by the news
papers that the resolutions committee
was in favor of q strong Endorsement
of the Republican Senate vote, which
was to ratify the treaty and league
covenant with the Lodge reservations,
which Endorsement the convention stood
ready to adopt when the resolutions
committee changed its purpose and
recommended the compromise plank in
order to conciliate an irreconcilable
element in the convention and prevent
a threatened bolt
Is 1t not reasonable to suppose that
the people, we'll knowing that the actual
sentiment Of committee and conyen-
ton was not rightly expressed in the
platform, very generally voted for
what they believed to be the actual sem
timent?
1t must be conceded that the minds
OF the voters generally were made up
upon the basis of the records Of the
two parties, and therefore on the Re-

Penalties for Liquor-lnduced Crime
in New Jersey
10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Not long ago a negro VIII,
drifted up North to New Jersey. a,
ordinary. ignorant fellow, fell in will
some Of his kind, though white.
He was sold liquor. from tho effect.
of which he became frenzied and h.
went forth and murdered a woman a,
the doorstep Of her home. When
caught he was still under the influ.
ence of the death-dealing fluid.
He was given speedy trial. II
took the jury only twenty-five minutes
to find him guilty. When he was SEN
fenced he said the man who sold him
the stuff should suffer the same as he
So say I. He was sentenced to die in
the electric chair next month.
A short time after, IN New Jersey,
white man was brought to trial for
numbering two men and wounding a
third.
He was found guilty by Jury and
sentenced to life imprisonment instead
Of death. This is the view the learned
judge took of the case:
"You took the lives Of two citizens
and seriously injured a third" said
the Judge. "You have informed the
court you were intoxicated. Tho court
believes you, because no man In his
full senses would have done what you
did.
"The court is aware, however, that
some consideration should be given
your case in view Of the fact that
society Is in some part responsible
for the crime you committed and So
ciety should share. some Of the re-
sponsibilities, for without your ability
to secure whisky it is probable you
would not have committed the crime"
How is it possible to differentiate
in two such similar cases? Ono hun
dred per cent justice for the negro, SO
per cent fo- the white man.

Small Attendance at Remembrance
Meeting for Our Soldiers

Meeting tor Our OoldlcrS
TO tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Have we forgotten the aching
sorrow which filed our hearts wher
our husbands, sons and brothers lef
US in 1917 on their journey to tn.
valley Of the shadow? Some never re
turned, others came back manned fol
life and still others strong and we'll a.
when they left US.
Oh, surely, no, we can't forget sc
easily. And yet, last Sunday nigh
there was Remem brance Meeting a
the Town Hall to remind us what the
war meant to our boys who sailed
away four years ago this spring. A
mere handful of people came, and they
were chiefly people who had goot
cause to remember. They came ir
their uniforms, and they gave freely
and generously.
Funds were being solicited for the
Service Club, at 23o West Forty-sixth
Street, one Of the many war charities
that suffers so badly through this cpl
demic Of forgetfulness that it is not
able to give it's soldiers, sailors and
marines any sleeping accommodation
save billiard table or the floor.
Surely such forgetfulness is our
shame! Let US who during the war
would have died rather than be terme i
slackers not join that Infamous band
now that peace has come. Let US rather
give to the breaking point, and serve
till we are tired, that it may be said
Of US that we remembered.

Sir: The statement In Tho Trih,

Now, l have ale at home which is

Why not suggest to Governor Mil

MOVIE ACTOR
DECLARED A HERO

NEW ORLEANS, La, SEPT. 1G.-Though
closely guarded by gang Of tramps in
whose company he had fallen at n time
when they were planning TO rob
wealthy farm owner, VIII Rogers. the
movie" star, and erstwhile vaudeville
comedian, succeeded. by means Of
ruse in warning the intended victim Of
the designs of the hobos. and thereby
thwarting heir scheme. His experience
was narrowing one and Rogers is now
hailed as a hero-thOugh a rather I'M
willing one
1t was while fraternizing with the
tramps that Rogers learned Of their
plan to rob. In some way he incurred
their suspicion, and was closely watched
from that moment. His skill as a lariat
thrower proved to be their undoing He
didn't happen to have a lariat with him.
so he hit upon the scheme Of putting a
rock in an old sock, and while holding
conversation with one of the gang he
idly twirled his improvised sling around,
and then let it fly toward the house of
the man whom the tramps had singled
out to burglarize. The missile smashed
big window. and served to arouse the
inmates of the house. Rogers was tied
to tree by the Infatuated tramps, but
the gang was scattered before they had
chance to do him bodily injury. He
was released by the man whom he had
warned, and the latter in Il rather vain
effort to show his gratitude offered to
give Rogers a job thinking him to be an
unfortunate Knight Of the road who
would go the right way if given a
chance. The comedian sadly dis
appointed his would be benefactor by
cleverly side-steppng anything that
smacked Of manual labor, and maintain
ing his role Of a tramp, he wandered
away, whistling blithely as he trudged
down the country road.
His early days spent on Western
ranches gave Rogers a change to become
we'll acquainted with many Of the hobo
fraternity, hence when 1t comes to i'm
personating a tramp Rogers is perfectly
at home. He knows their language and
their habits so we'll that he has no diff
ficulty in becoming one Of them when
ever the notion strikes him.
Rogers recently completed his latest
picture, which, by -the-way is called IAN
Unwilling Hero" and in which he por
trays the role of a tramp. The story is
an adaptation Of o. Henry's classic
''Whistling Dicks Christmas Stocking"
and which is declared to be the best
thing the comedian has ever done in pic
lures. 1t will be shown in Indianapolis
at the Alhambra all next week, starting
observation-disclosures.
