Duesseldorf. Feb. 26.-A French captain. having lunch in a Deussel- dorf restaurant the other day noted that his waiter walked with a pro- nounced limp.
 Where did you get hurt?" he asked.
 At Verdun. sir" replied the wait CT proudly and unconsciously coming to attention. T was before Verdun for two months
 The captain became interested at once. A few more queries elicited the fact that the waiter, during seven days in March. 1916, had been in the German sector facing that held by the French captains company. Trenches had completely disappeared and the men of both armies were hid den in shell holes in some places less than ten yards apart. The waiter had taken part in a furious assault upon the captains lines one day at dawn. The captain remembered that parti- cular attack very well. Twenty-Five per cent of his company had been killed, wounded or made prisoners.
 Let me get you some hot soup, sir" the waiter said, this is growing cold. Those were great days" he said as he walked to the kitchen.

.FRAME.UP, IS CLAIM
 MADE BY ANDERSON
Rockelellers However. Discredit His Charges and Back Fosdick

New York. Feb. 26,-With foui
 officials Of the state anti-saloon league
 under subpoena. Acting District At.
 torney Pecora today will present 10 a ] grand jury the evidence he has gathered in his investigation oi charges concerning the manner in which Superintendent William H. An derson handled the organizations | finances
 Anderson Claims Framc-up
 The jury inquiry follows relatively sensational developments of yester- day when Anderson, speaking in an Albany pulpit, declared he was the victim of 'far-reaching conspiracy" in which Tammany. wet republican machine politicians and wet financial interests were involved.
 Rockefeller Replies
 His charges that the conspirators were using Raymond B. Fosdick, legal de facto stool pigeon, q wet-talking representative of the Rockefellers, ''as machine, personally hostile employe of the John D. Rockefellers," to for ward their fight, brought an immedi- ate response from John D. Dockefel- Ter, Jr., whose statements were con sidered virtual indorsement of the investigation into affairs of the league.
 T do not intend" he said, Ito sub init in silence to being crushed by the power of Rockefeller money yielded through the machinations of hostile Rockefeller employe. MT. John D. Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., are fair men Y. l do not be- lieve they will stand for a man who has given practically his entire adult life to representing the churches in a desperately difficult moral conflict. and who even poured in his own money to save great cause being stabbed in the back by an eni- ploye of theirs iI an effort to rob such man, in the mind of the pub lie, of the ordinary presumption of 
 Accuses District Attorney
 Mir. Andersen also held the District Attorneys office to be the unwilling tool of the interests seeking to dis credit him. His statement immedi- 1 ately was denied by MT. Pecora, who declared that his office was concerned | only with the s24,700 publicity item expended by MT. Anderson, and the 1 alleged splitting" of collection com- missions by O. B. Phillips, for five | years chief financial representative of | the league, and the superintendent.
 When told of the accusations over the telephone at Ormond Beach, Fla, Mir. Rockefeller authorized his New York office to answer them.
 Backs Up FOsdick
 If MT. Fosdick is guilty of partici- patton in any wet conspiracy, I am guilty too, for he has represented me n this matter for two years, and I lave fully approved his every action, md he had had and still retains my ull confidence" the statement said.
 Tt would be most unfortunate" the tatement continued, If inquiry hould reveal any irregularities or on the part of any offi- CTS or employees of the anti-saloon eague.
 T may add that insofar as the gifts If my father and myself to the anti aloon league are concerned, we have urselves published them on several occasions. We are not in the habit of lying to causes unless we are willing o have our names attached to our gifts. By the same token we feel that

GRANT SAYS STORY
 OF ADAM IS FABLE
Arrays Himself on Side Of EVOlu'
 tiOn in New York Attack

New York, Feb. 26.-The Biblical version of the Garden of Eden and the story of Adam, the apple and poor Eve" is fable, Dr. Percy Stick ney Grant. rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of the Ascension, told his congregation yesterday. He made plea for thorough house. cleaning by the churches.
 There is need of a new religion, if the church will not clean house of all it's fetishes," he said. ''The fundamentalists in religion believe that they will attain happiness in the world to come, through the belief in the miraculous conception of Christ, His death and ascension into heaven. This theory is as unworthy of mod ern intelligence as would be the be-
 lief today in theories of the Egyptian priests of the past.
 We cannot adhere to fables in re- ligion any longer, for the young peo- pie of today are not going to believe what their grandparents did. The mind must contribute something to religion"
 Dr. Grant, who recently was the center of a storm because of his ex- pressions denying the Deity of Christ himself yesterday on the side of evolution. He declared he had rather be on the up grade with the descendants of the ape than on the down grade with Adam as represent ing the degenerate Son of God" He said that Old Testament version of a God of Vengeance" was not Chris tianity, but part of pagan system"
 Dr. Grant defended Sunday motion pictures and theater performances.
 Are people to sit all day in a ten- ement house on their one day of rest, l and just think?" he asked. No. | They want to be moved by the pas sions of life and travel far in their to other lands portrayed | on the stage and screen"

UPH0LDS new YORK &
CITYS LAND CLAIM

Decision of the New York supreme
court this week has upheld the city !.
Of New York in it's claim ownerr
ship Of the block of land bnown as
the Dyckman Oval, in a decision of
interest to members Of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards in
New York and in other cities where
title contests are going on based on
early land grants. The New York
decision, based on a grant made to
the city by Colonial Governor Dongan
back in 1885. casts a cloud over the
title to tWenty-four blocks of prop
erty In the same district now held
in private ownership. These lands
are worth many millions of dollars
Policies issued on land titles in the,
district by title insurance companies
are said to total 100000.
The charter of 1856 granted to the
city of New York the tideway, or.
land between high and low-water
mark on the whole circuit of Man
haitian Island. The claim of the city
is based on the contention that the:
lands in question were within the
foreshore and tideway of Sherman
creek and the Harlem river at the
time the Dongan grant was made. 4,
The case will be carried to the
appellate division.
