COFFEE MARKET
BREAKS TO LOWEST
LEVEL SINCE 1908

New York, March 16.-Under
continued pressure of liquidation
due to poor spot demands, continued
large receipts from Brazil and the
lowest Brazilian exchange rate in
over twenty years, the coffee market
today broke to new low levels, the
lowest since 1908. May contracts
sold as low as 5.13 and July as low
as $50, representing declines of 81
to 20 points from last nights close
Spot coffee was selling at 6 cents for

basket there, the bulbs rolling down
the hill and stopping wherever they
found slight depression or some
obstacle, in blade of grass or a
stick or stone. Where the tulips
stopped rolling they were planted,
and the result was a lack of order
or regularity, which was natural
in the highest degree. Here was a
group, there one, or perhaps two,
and the grass was sprinkled with
the single beauties here, there and
everywhere. B:

TEACHING ALIEN
NATIONAL DUTY
Moore Says instruction More
Essential Than
Restriction.

There is greater need of legisla-
tive provision for the Americaniza-
tion of the foreign born already
within our gates than for the regu-
lation of immigration to these
shores, according to Oran T. Moore,
chief naturalization examiner, who
last night addressed the Americana
zatfon Committee of the District of
Columbia D. A. r. at their monthly
meeting in Thomson School.
Teaching the child American man
ners and customs, while the parent
remains ignorant of even the lam
guage, simply engenders the de-
struction of the American foreign
born home. he pointed out. The
chllds shame at his parents ignor-
ance of English soon becomes con-
tempt and the result is the tearing
down of the sacred relation of par
enthood, Moore said.
Moore paid tribute to the Ameri-
canization work being done for the
approximately $4,000 foreign born
population of Washington by Mrs
Jessie Cunningham and Miss Maud
Alton of the Americanization school

Disarming Job
For Britain and
US, Says Okurna

TOXIC, Jan. 5. - Marquis
okuma. former premier of Japan,
in an interview today declared
responsibility for world eompeti-
ton I'm nrmaments lay with Great
Britain and the United states and
that the first steps toward n
naval holiday or any similar
scheme for reduction of naval
programs must come from them.
He declared JaPsn's navy was
relatively too small TO be con-
sidered in the same class wits
the British or American and that
Jspan's assent should not be de-
manded until the two EreatesS
naval powers agreed to naval
reduction. BRITAIN and Amer
lea together can make a naval
holiday elective he said. s'They
only have tkat Power.7
Okuma thoroughly approved
the proposal as applied 10 Great
Britain and America, but showed
distrust of the idea as applied in
the same degree TO JaPnn.
"A move for world wide naval
curtaiIment," he said, -wOuId
greatly benefit Japan. While
Great Britain and America con-
unue building, Japan, in self de-
fense must follow their lead. but
Japan is in no condition to en-
gage in unlimited naval cOnstruc-
tIon. She has not the money nor
the resources, il far poorer than
Great Britain or America. Her
statesmen know that any at
tempt to compete with either
would be futile.
"JapHn continues building, hut
for purely defensive purposes.
The Japanese people are feeling
the burden of heavy taxation.
America also feels it, and the
OUtcry there against armaments
expenditures probably f. louder
than here, but Japan faces a
threat of serious economic and
social unrest IL the taxation bur
den for expanding armaments
continues TO press heavily on the

people. Thus, the only loss to the
American people amounts to the $4,-
100000 children's service mentioned
above.
Despite the undertaking of the
Polish government to pay for this
food my instructions were to see
that this food was strictly dis
tributed to the civil population and
this was vigorously carried out un-
der the direction of American army
officers. l may mention that the
Polish government paid the entire
cost of distribution and no Ameri-
can money was ever given the
commodities purchased in the
United States.
''Third-The Army Liquidation
Board, over which the relief ad-
ministratiOn had no authority, sold
to the Polish government many
thousands of tons of surplus-Ameri-
can army rations and supplies,
again in return for Polish govern
ment obligations. and some portion
of this foodstun was used for the
Polish army. 1t had, however,
nothing to do with the Congress
sional relief appropriation. The
other allied governments also sup
piled some food to Poland during
this period
In the broader aspects of the
whole question l may mention that
If the whole Polish army, as It
stood during this period, had been
supplied with such imported com
modities as could be Incorporated in
their ration, which was not the case,
il could have consumed less than
5000 tons, or probably less than 3
per cent Of the totals imported.
In any event it is of much more
Importance 10 note that the objec-
tive of the American government
was to preserve lie in the midst Of
famine and to re-estabIish order and
to undermine the stimulus to an
arChy and BOlshevism then running
rampant through a starving coun-
try. II Poland had not received
this food. and If Poland had NOT had
an army in the winter and spring
of 1919. it would have gone Boil
SheViki, thus joining the Bolshevik
activities of Germany and Russia
and plunging Europe into irrevo-
cable chaos.
I am sure you will correct this
mlsimpression you have given.

Denies European Relief
Fund Fed Polish Army
Officer in Charge of Food Distribution Wires
Senator Reed that Only Surplus Army
Stocks Sold.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Denials that
funds contributed for Eu-
ropean relief had been used for
supplying the Polish army, as
charged by Senator James Reed
were telegraphed to Reed today by
William r. Grove, formerly in
charge of food distribution in Po-
land
Surplus supplies of the expedi-
tionary forces were sold the Po-
lish army. Grove said, but this
had nothing to do with the s10O,
100000 Congressional relief fund.
Groves telegram follows:
Hon. James Reed, United States
Senate. Washington, D. c.:
From the press account of your
statement this morning in respect
to the use of a portion of the $780,
100000 relief appropriation which
expired in June. 1919, for the pur-
poses of the Polish army, l an
convinced that you have been mis-
llllOi llltu
Il was in charge in Poland of the
distribution of all food under the
$1O0.0O0.0O0 relief appropriation, act
ing under Mr.. Hopverss general Sii-
rection. There were three distinct
activities in Poland which may have
led to confusion in your mind:
First. about 1000 tons of milk
and other foodstuffs were shipped
from the United States and contrib.
uted to the Children's fund to the
value of approximately $4,000, 900
This food was distributed directly
under my supervision through hun.
dreds of kitchens. capteens. and asy.
lums created for the refuge of the
children by the Children's fund
which was also participated in by
public charity.
The above charge was borne b!
the S1O0,0OO!0O0 appropriation anc
represents a gift from the American
people.
Second - Approximately 266,OO(
tons Of food of the value of about
S50,000,000 was shipped to Polanc
from the United States and wa,
distributed strictly to the civi
population. This food was provided
from the 100000, 900 relief appro.
priation but the Polish government
was charged with the cost thereof
and has given treasury notes il
payment therefor, so that this iten
will be recovered to the American

LIQUOR PROPOSED
ON AMERICAN SHIPS

The House judiciary Committee,
OF which Andrew J. volstead, of
dry law fame, is chairman, win be-
gin consideration a week from to-
day of an amendment to the pro-
hibition enforcement law permit
ting the sale Of liquor on American
ships. The sponsor oGthe proposed
amendment is George w. Edmonds,
Of Philadelphia.
Edmonds expressed the opinion
yesterday that prohibition of the
sale of liqour on American vessels
placed them at undue disadvantage
If competing with foreign ships
He pointed out that American ves-
sells carrying passengers cannot
fully comply with the laws of Italy
and other countries which deter
mine the nature Of the food TO be
served emigrants leaving their
countries.
Persons contemplating ocean
voyages are neglecting American
ships because of the restrictions
imposed by the law and the~Ameri-
can lines are finding that they can
not compete with their foreign op-
pOnents," said Edmonds.

The decision was arrived at i'm
mediateIy upon receipt of n cable

dent Wilson's veto of the War

overridden. The diplomats agreed
that Ii was useless to ask the
President to attend IL his deci-
siOns would not be backed up by
Congress.
Plans, however, have been con-
summated for the conference Of
the supreme council in Paris,
which will open probably Satur-

TO GIVE REPORT
ON GREAT FALLS
Army Engineers Will An
nounce Feasibility of Plan
To Harness Power.

A report on it's investigation Of
the project to harness Great Falls
will be made by the Army Engineer
Corps to the Federal Power Com
mission on January a.
The commission announced that
hearings will be held on the project
on January 20, at which other in
terests that have plans for the de-
velopment of water power in the
Potomac will be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard.
The statute which authorized the
investigation to be made provided
that a report must be made to Con,
gress by the power commission by
January l, 1921. Secretary Baker
chairman of the commission, mott
fed the Speaker of the House and
the president of the Senate a few
days prior to this date that owing
to the illness of Maj. M. C. Tyler,
who had been assigned by the En-
gineer Corps to make the investi-
CATION, the report would not be
ready on the date specified in the
law
He submitted a preliminary re-
port, however, in which it was
stated that a conclusion had been
reached that the project could be
economically launched and that
electric power could be furnished
to the city of Washington at an
approximate cost of mills per
kilowatt hour.
1t is understood the engineers re-
port will recommend the construc-
tiOn of three or more dams in the
upper reaches of the Potomac
River, the lower one to be above

DADDY" TO RUSS
WAITS SPENDS
BUSY DAY HERE
Admiral McCulley to
Bring Adopted Riddles
To Washington.

Rear Admiral Newton A McCully,
foster father of seven Russian chill
dren. sped back to New York last
night after a busy day in Wash
ington.
Il want to get back just as soon
as I can to let them know that they
can enter the country where the
rooms are warm" said Admiral Nc
Gully as he made preparations to
catch his train. He had previously
explained that the children had all
pictured America as the place where
the rooms are warm" and that six
years of want and desolation had
convinced them that nothing could
be nearer earthly bliss.
Nikolal Smov, then 10 years old,
is a souvenir OF the wrangeI trench
es one bleak, cold day last spring
when Admiral McCully almost
stumbled over his shrunken body,
covered with vermin and Just
brought down by typhus.
Loudmila Manetzkaya is here be-
cause in an orphan asylum at Yalta
she was the first to greet me with
4 smile"
Nina Furinan. aged eight, he
Admiral described as the most ca
pable girl at the Yalta asylum.
She could 1nit two socks while the
other girls were knitting one"
Fedor Pozdo, aged four, and Nino-
tschka Klimenko, aged three, were
just homeless waits, parents, rela-
tives and all hope Of the future
swallowed by the Red Terror so
that Admiral McCully added them to
his encourage because If he hadn't
they very shortly just wouldn't have
been.
Ninotschka Rushavilna, whose
mother was glad to give at least
one of her brood a chance to build
his life in far off America, COM
pletes the list of seven youngsters.
And then there is Eugenia Selifan-
ova, aged nineteen, who had be-
come sort of an assistant matron
at Yalta and was brought along to
help care for the littler ones.
TT is my idea to bring the chill
dren here to Washington first where
they will make their home with me
at 1921 1 street.
In the near future, too. l am
going to take the entire lot to An
derson to see my mother and sister.
I want to Americanize them as
much as 1 can, but I would like to
have them retain their lovable Rus
sian customs.
Il have told them ali htat il they
wish they may return to Russia
after they are of age, but 1 shall
always feel responsible for them
and their welfare" They will be
educated by private tutors.

Rep. Volk Says Efforts
To Stem Violations
Scandalous.
BILL CALLS UPON
CONGRESS TO ACT
Raps Antisaloon League
Demands Facts in
Eastman Murder.

A nationwide Congressional in
vestigation into the enforcement of
the prohibition laws, including the
killing of Monk" Eastman, by a
prohibition agent, and the mysteri-
Gus death of Prohibition Agent Nc
Guinness, a relative Of Joseph P.
TumuIty, is proposed In a resolu-
ton introduced in the House by
Representative Lester D. Volk, of
New York, yesterday.
Asks Probe Committee.
The Congressional committee con-
Quoting its investigation would be
composed Of FIVE Republicans and
four Democrats and would be re-
quired to report its findings, to-
gether with recommendations to
remedy present conditions, no later
than June Is.
Following introduction of the
resolution Wayne B. Wheeler, gem
eral counsel of the Anti-SalOOn
League, charged that it originated
with the enemies of prohibition.
Visits to the Offices of the pro-
hibition agents" said Volk, will
show the class of men employed
for this WORK Periodical clean-ups
occur but no charges are preferred
against offending agents. Why?
Because officials know they are col
lecting graft everywhere.
The killing of Monk Eastman
by Jeremiah Bohan, a prohibition
agent, in New York a few days ago,
after a drinking party in which the
dry agent participated, is one of
many cases strongly showing the
necessity for a thorough investiga-
tiOn of the operation of the pro-
hibitiOn field forces.
Cites McGuinness Case.
The case in which Prohibition
Agent McGuinness, a relative of Jo-
seph P. Tumulty, secretary to Pres
ident Wilson, was found slain on
the beach at Bayonne, n. j., is an
other instance adding to the de-
mand for a probe.
Another instance was the Sta
ten Island investigation, which was
killed OF after a special judge was
sent there.
The legitimate use of alcohol is
being made subject to graft and ex-
tOrtiOn of all kinds, while the il
legitimate user is getting away
with everything"
Mentions Chicago Case.
VOIk referred to the Chicago case
of a few days ago in which six al
legged members of nationwide
whisky ring were arrested. The
prohibition chief at Chicago said
the evidence in this case led di-
rect to a member of Congress.
The introduction of this resolu-
tiOn by the enemies of prohibition
does not inspire confidence in those
who really want the law enforced" -"
said Wheeler. IF they have evil
dence showing inspectors are cor
rupt, the department will promptly
remove such operatives"
Referring to "self-cOnstituted pri-
vate agencies which Volk in his res
OlutiOn says tried to dictate en-
fOrcement methods, Wheeler said:
He can start an investigation to
show graft or irregularities on the
part of the Anti-SaIoon League as
quickly as he wants to. On the
other hand, we invite Congress to
investigate the activities of the
liquor interests which have cor
rupted certain Federal officials al
ready discharged or under suspi-
ciOn."
