IF l am barred from the United
States because l am divorced man
this is the first intimation l have re-
ceived that there are no divorced mer

LEAGUE OF RED CROSS
SOCIETIES IN CRISIS
American Branch Insists Other Ma
tions Must Pay More Of As
sociation's Expenses.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, March 21.-Whether
America, which heretofore has fur
nished seven-eights of the support of
the League of Red Cross Societies.
will continue that assistance is the
principal question to be considered at
the third annual meeting of the gen.
eral council of that organization in
Geneva, March % to 81.
During the last three years the
people of the United States. through
the American Red Cross, have con-
tributed s1.250.U0O for the upkeep
of the league. The American Red
Cross. through whose initiative the
league was founded, will not con-
tinue its support unless other
national Red Cross organizations will
agree to do their share.
If American aid is withdrawn it is
generally considered that the whole
league will face collapse. The ex-
penses for running the league during
the coming year are estimated at
$3.50, 700, and the American Red Cross
is understood to be prepared to pay
a large share of this provided the
other countries will make up the
balance.
Five delegates from each of thirty
six countries, including Soviet Rus
STA, Turkey and Bulgaria, will attend
the conference. Germany is expected
to be admitted to membership over
the protest of France, many leading
league officials feeling that it is time
to admit the former. belligerents.

MARYLAND DRY MEASURE

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. March 22.-After
non-concurrence in the Maryland SEN
ate referendum amendment to the state
prohibition enforcement bill the state
house of delegates yesterday killed
the measure by vote of SO to 4S.
The house tabled a senate request for
conference.
Belief was expressed. however. that
dry delegates will bring the meas
ure back into the legislature two
years from now and will make it an
issue in the next legislature.
A peculiar paradox exists in the
fact that thoee who fought the bill
hardest, because of it's drastic fea-
tures-or possibly because they were
opposed to any prohibition measure
were practically all of the forty
eight delegates who voted for concur
renee, and that the fifty-three who
voted against concurrence and for the
death Of the bill were irreconcilab BILE
"drys," and followed dry" leadership
all through the fight on the measure.

|CALVERT STREET BRIDGE
TO HAVE ASPHALT FLOOR

to Be Used to Replace
Wood.

An asphalt surface similar to that on
the Highway bridge will be laid on the
Calvert Street bridge with the $4,000
appropriation asked by Congress in one
Of the deficiency bills. Engineer Com
missioner Keller stated today.
Col. Keller admitted today that the
bridge vibrates considerably with the
present wood flooring. but said that
when the improvements are made it will
be safe to take any traffic load over
the structure.
At present, he said. the wood floor
is placed on longitudinal wooden
supports. The plan is to replace these
wooden supports with steel girders, which
will tend to stiffen the entire struct-
ure. With an asphalt paving on top
of a steel frame, the colonel said, the
bridge will meet all requirements
except that it will not be as at
tractive looking as new bridge.

Rev. DR.. Freeman Addresses Noon
day Meeting of Lay

Rev. DR.. Freeman, rector of the
Church of the Epiphany, at the lay
mems mid day Lenten service today
took his subject There are many
kinds of voices in the world-none of
them is without signification.''
1T takes a larger discrimination
today to choose between the voices
of fallacy and the voice of verify.
The voice of hate wrecked Germany
after plunging the world into
bloody war. This war is settled for
all time, but the seed sown by it
made the voice of selfishness heard
almost around the world. This was,
in turn. followed by the voice of
suspicion.
America today holds q dominant
place in the world, and unless we
make the voice of confidence drown
the harsher voice of hate and sus-
picion there is little hope for civili-
zation of the world"
On the platform with DIR. Freeman
was the minister of Serbia, Mr..
Grouitch. and wife; also Mary Rob-
erts Rinehart, the authoress.
The speaker tomorrow will be j.

BORDER CLASH NEARER.
Irish People Declared Powerless to
Avert Civil War.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 22.-The situation
on the border between Ulster and
south Ireland is going from bad to
worse. and is such that some trif1ing
incident may draw the rival forces
into a conflict which will shatter all
prospects of peace in ireland, says
the Dublin correspondent of the
Times.
THE tragic irony of the situation"
he adds, consists in the fact that the
vast majority of Irishmen Of all par
ties deplore the danger, but seem un-
able to avert it. Each side daily
takes some measure of defense which
it regards as legitimate, but which
produces prompt retaliation from the
other side, with the resalt that po-
litical passions are intensified and the
pleadings of common sense fail to
find hearing"
