full methods at Geneva. If Geneva
fails, Marshal Pilsudski will follow the
counsels of his military advisers. how
ever, and take the Lithuanians at
their word that "state of war" ex-
lists and march on Kovno.
Marshal Pilsudski probably will go
to Geneva two or three days after M.

The Polish policy at Geneva will be
to emphasize the anomalous attitude
Of Lithuania in refusing any relations
with Poland as the source of the
whole dispute and the principal fac
tor in the unrest in northeastern Eu-
rope. The present anxiety of Russia
and Germany about the possibility of
Polish aggression probably will be of
service to Poland in stirring up For

timistic over developments in the

NEW YORK, November ga fund
of S3,000000 is wanted by the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment to conduct a national campaign
to ascertain the voters view as to
whether the eighteenth amendment
should be repealed or modified.
Capt. William Fl. Stayton of Wash
ington, D. c., chairman of the associa.
ton, outlined plans for national or
State referenda at a private dinner
last night at Hhe Union League Club,
TO which 297 persons, many of them
prominent Republicans. were invited.
A cloak of secrecy was thrown about
the affair and just what action, If
any, was taken was not revealed.
Newspapermen were not invited. When
the dinner broke up the diners were
uncommunicative as to what had
motor cars in the rain and parried
questions.
Butler Among Speakers.
The sponsors of the dinner, headed
by George w. Wightman, New York
merchant, maintained that the affair
was purely a social one, of no public
or political significance. The guest
list was not announced.
Besides Capt. Stayton, other speak
ers were DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University;
former United States Senator James
w. WadsWorth, jr., and former Rep
resentative John Philip Hill of Mary
land.
Before the dinner, Capt. Stayton
said it was planned to send two let
ters to 100000 voters next year, at
an estimated cost of 10 cents per
voter. He figured that from $780,
900 to $3,000,000 would be needed in
the next four years. He said the
association would seek a national
referendum plank in the platform of
the Republican and Democratic
parties on the theory that it was the
duty of political parties to find out
what the voters wanted. II the ma
tional parties refused to incorporate
the plank in their platforms move
ment will be made for referenda in
the several States.
Former Senator Wadsworth. who
was defeated for reelection by Rob-
ert F. Wagner, Democrat, was out
spoken in his ideas. He announced,
before the dinner, that he would be
candidate for delegate at large to
the next national Republican conven
ton and that he hoped the conven-
ton would meet the prohibition
issue squarely.
Il trust that many other delegates
will be chosen who believe that the
prohibition amendment should be
wiped out or modified" he said. 81
am speaking now merely as a can
didate for delegate at large, but the
issue will be met in the convention
if l have anything to say about 1t.
Dr. Butler let it be known that he
would not be a candidate for dele
gate at large.
Newspapers said that at the dinner
Stayton proposed that the nationa
referendum plank be accompanied by
pledge that the outcome of such a
referendum should be binding in con-
science on nominees for Congress.
