I 1. a a THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, MAY 12, 1919. 3 DENIES AMERICAN PEOPLE WORSHIP DOLLAR Defends Them From Charge of Materialism-Points to Their Part in War. Paris, Saturday, May 10-President Wilson, in his address today to the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, entered a strong disclaimer of the idea that the American people were largely materialists, or dollar worshippers.

"I have had in recent months one deep sense of privilege," the President said. "I have been keenly aware that there have been times when the peoples of Europe haven't understood the people of the United States. We have been too often supposed to have been devoted chiefly, if not entirely, to material enterprises. We have been supposed, in the common phrase, to the almighty dollar, "We have accumulated wealth, sir; we have devoted ourselves to material enterprises with extraordinary success, but there has underlain all of that, all the time, a common sense of humanity and a common sympathy with the high principles of justice, which has never grown dim in the field, even, of enterprise, and it has been my very great joy in these recent months to interpret the people of the United States to the people of the have not done more, sir. I have not uttered in my public capacity my own private thoughts.

I have uttered what I have known to be the thoughts of the great people whom I represent. I have uttered the things that have been stored up in their hearts and from the time of our birth purpose, nation." It was at this point that the President made his declaration that the American people, who came into the world consecrated to liberty, were ready to cast in their lot in common with the lot of those whose liberty is threatened whenever the cause of liberty was seen to be imperiled. Spirit of the American People. "This is the spirit of the people of the United States," he continued, "and they have been privileged to send 2,000,000 men over here to tell you so. It has been their great privilege not merely to tell you SO in words, but to tell you so in men and material--the pouring out of their wealth and the offering of their blood." President Wilson "alludea to his studies in the field of political science and of the attempts he had made "to put into the words of learning the thought of a nation, the attitude of people toward public affairs." continued: "A great many of, my colleagues in American university life got their training, even in political science, as so many men in civil circles did, in German universities.

I have been obliged at Var various times to a great deal bad German, difficult German, awkward German, and I have been aware that the thought was as awkward as the phrase, that the thought was rooted in a fundamental misconception of the state and of the political life of peoples. And it has been a portion of my effort to disengage the thought of American university teachers from the misguided instruction which they had received on this side of the sea. Their American spirit anticipated most of them. as a matter of course, but the form of the thought sometimes misled them. They speak too often of the state as a thing which would ignore the individual.

as a thing which was privileged to dominate the fortunes of men by a sort of inherent and sacred au- thority. His View of the State. "Now, as an utter Democrat, I have never been able to accept that view of the State. My view of the State is that it must stop and listen to what I have to say, no matter how humble I am, and that each man has the right to have his voice heard and his counsel heeded, in so far as it is worthy of him. "I have always been among those who believe that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety.

because if a man is a fool the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking. It cannot be so easily discovered if you allow him to remain silent and look wise, but if you let him speak the secret is out and the world knows that he is a fodl. Folly Defeated by Exposure. "So it is by the exposure of folly that it is defeated--not by the seclusion of folly, and in this free air of free speech men get into that sort of communication with one another which constitutes the basis of all common achievement. France, through many vicissitudes and through many bitter experiences found the way to this sort of freedom, and now she stands at the front of the world as the representative of constitutional liberty."

Hungarians May Not Be Among Those Present At Parley With Austrians Eagle Bureau, 53 Rue Cambon. By GUY HICKOK. (Special Cable to The Eagle.) Paris, 12-It not known today whether the Hungarians will be present at the Peace Conference. An invitation, containing no names, taken by a British courier, may not be delivered by reason of disturbed conditions growing out of the Hungarian revolution. The conference is working leisurely on the draft of the treaty with Austria-Hungary, using the German document as a skeleton.

The war debt of the Dual Monarchy is likely to be repudiated through the secession of various subdivisions of the former dynasty, A precedent for this is found in the concentration of the civil war debt. It is probable that all the countries formerly parts of Austria-Hungary will be made a participants in the treaty noW being prepared, an important part of which will be the articles defining the boundaries and determining the new states. No official word has yet been received from the Germans regarding their intentions in the matter ing suggested changes in the treaty." Brazilian Writer Sees U. S. The "Prussia of Tomorrow" Rio Janeiro, Sunday, May 11-An attack upon the United States made by Madeiros de Albuquerque, generally considered one of, the leading journalists of Brazil, in a long interview printed today in A Noite, concludes as follows: "The United States incontestably is the Prussia of tomorrow." Senor Albuquerque, who has just arrived from the United States, says: return from the United States with enthusiasm for England, Italy, France, Belgium, Japan and, perhaps above all, Mexico." He accuses the United States of "fomenting revolutions in Mexico," and says that "Brazil is considered by COMMITTEE TO BOOM WILLS' CANDIDACY Borough-Wide Campaign Starts to Secure Republican Surrogate's Nomination for E.

D. Man. A borough- -wide committee to foster the plans to secure the Republican nomination of Louis C. Wills for Surrogate of Kings County is being or ganized. With the conclusion of the Victory Loan campaign, Wills' candidacy is being pushed.

Victor A. Lersner, controller of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, who launched the Wills boom at the Williamsburg Luncheon Club dinner, some months ago, has started the committee in Wills' behalf. co Among those who have already agreed to serve are James H. Post, Col. Andrew D.

Baird, president of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank: Nathan S. Jonas, president of the Manufacturers Trust Company; J. Adolph Mollenhauer, William S. Irish, vice president and cashier of First National Bank: Paul E. Bonner, president of the North Side Bank; Fred L.

Gross, Walter Gretsch and Roy M. Hart. The fact that President Jonas of the Manufacturers Trust Company has come out for Wills is considered significant, as Wills is seeking the Republican nomination and Jonas is a Democrat. John H. McCooey, the Democratic county leader, and Borough President Edward Riegelmann urged Mr.

Jonas to withdraw James M. Beck as the principal speaker at the Victory celebration at the Academy of Music a few months ago, and on his refusal to comply, a controversy followed, which resulted in the bank president resigning as chairman of the Welcome Committee. for Surrogate there was talk in the If Wills fails to get the nomination Eastern District today that in the event of Riegelmann being the Democratic candidate for Supreme Court Justice, Willis would oppose him on the Republican ticket. Wills is one of the most popular men in the eastern end of the borough. He is a lawyer.

It is said that Republican County Leader Jacob A. Livingston favors his nomination for Surrogate after complaint had been made that the Eastern District has been neglected from an elective office standpoint. He has always taken an active interest in Republican politics, but has never held office. NEW CONSORTIUM FOR FINANCING CHINESE LOANS Paris, May 12-A new consortium for the financing of Chinese loans was organized today by American, French, British and Japanese bankers. A reservation was made for loter participation by Belgian bankers.

"FAKE" HERO SCORED; GETS LONG SENTENCE Wore at Trial War Medals That He Had Bought Other Guilty Ones Sent to Prison. Felix Martine, 31, of 6 Fleet a member of the 15th Regiment, was sentenced today by County Judge May to Sing Sing for not less than two years and eleven months and not more than six years. Martine had been convicted by a jury of assault and robbery, In court during his trial, Martine wore a number of medals which, it was afterwards learned, he had purchased while at Camp Upton. Although he had been on the other side. the records showed that Martine had spent most of his time in the guard house.

"Martine," 'said Judge May, "the jury was able to see that you were not the sort of man who would earn upon the battlefield a medal for bravery, because the act of which you have been found guilty was cowardly, court, I ought lie to give you an addibrutal act. Because you lied to the tional sentence, but I am going to give you the same as the man who was with you, who, aided and assisted you in this brutal crime." A sentence of from five to ten years in Sing Sing was imposed by County Judge Nash on John C. Varanelli, 22. of 725 Metropolitan who had stabbed his wife. Joseph Kachanski, 60, of Mills Hotel No.

2. Manhattan, was sentenced to Sing Sing for five years by Judge Nash. Kachanski previously been convicted of receiving stolen goods and on this occasion he stole jewelry to the value of $625. Judge Nash also sentenced William Kiernan, assault, and Wolf Bond, petit larceny, to the penitentiary. James Sanderson, convicted of attempted grand larceny, was sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge May.

GERMANY IS SHORN OF NAVAL POWER BY PEACE TREATY Terms Really Mean She Will Never Have Another Navy. Once Second in World. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. By C. C.

BRAINERD. Washington, May 9-Germany will never have another navy. The naval chapter in the peace treaty would not have been more drastic if it had been written in five navy is hereby abolished." That is a exactly what the chapter means. To permit Germany to keep six small battleships, six light cruisers, twelve destroyers, twelve torpedo boats and no submarines, and to forbid her to have any naval seaplanes and dirigibles is equivalent to saying Germany shall have no navy whatever. Not only is the biggest part of the German navy now in the hands of the Allies, but she will not be permitted to keep very much of what still remains in her possession.

From the second naval power in the world to a status equivalent to that of some Central American republic gives an idea of what is happening to Germany, The six small battleships which are allowed Germany are a grim joke. The treaty says that none of them shall be larger than 10.000 tons. There is no ship of that size in the world that is any longer recognized as a real battleship. The tonners were obsolete long ago. The old battleship Oregon, in her prime twenty years ago, has a tonnage of 10,288.

The Oregon is so useless for war purposes that the Navy is planning. to send her back to the Pacific Coast and let her spend her remaining days as a patriotic exhibit in one of the ports of the State for which she is named. Yet if Germany owned the Oregon she would not be allowed to keep her, because the Oregon exceeds the size limit for German battleships of Dozen the future. Navies Could Whip Germany's. With the German navy pared down to the proportions fixed in the treaty, there are dozen navies that could whip it.

Argentina, Brazil and Chile would all be able to sink the new German navy. Those navies own battleships running from 19.000 to 32.000 tons. Spain owns bigger battleships than Germany will be allowed to keep. Italy, which has never been considered one of the great naval powers, would simply overwhelm Germany, Such battleships as Germany will be permitted to have are, of course, ancient craft, quite incapable of doing serious harm to a modern ship. They will be of the Brandenburg Worth class, something less than 10,000 tons, with low speed, old-fashioned armament and inferior armor.

They were built even before the Oregon, The other day at Brooklyn the United States launched a battleship of over 32,000 tons, a vessel that could meet the whole German navy and laugh at it. There is another provision in the naval chapter of the treaty that is as ironic as that limiting the tonnage and number of the battleships. Except in case of a battleship that is lost. Germany will not be allowed to replace one of her decrepit battleships before the end of twenty years. That means simply this: She starts with battle.

ships that are already about twenty wears out of date and must keep them for twenty years more. If Germany should elect to keep the Brandenburg, for instance, provided that vessel is still in existence, she would in the year 1931, which is twenty years from now. be the proud possessor of El battleship forty-nine years old. The keel of the Brandenburg was laid in 1890. Her tonnage, 9.874.

just gets within the limit imposed by the treaty. There is no such thing as a new battleship of 10,000 tons or less; ships of that size ceased to be built years ago. No New Destroyers for 15 Years. Destroyers, as all naval men know, are more perishable than battleships. They change more rapidly and require more frequent replacement.

Yet none of the twelve destroyers that Germany will be allowed to keep may be replaced under fifteen years. By that tim such destroyers as she owns will be ready for the scrap heap, unless Germany should haul them ashore and put them carefully away in cotton, The provision that Germany may maintain 110 naval air forces would in itself be sufficent to render her navy almost impotent, even if she were allowed to retain her ships. More and more the modern navies of the world are depending upon aircraft, not only in the scouting work of their fleets, but for offensive and defensive purposes. Planes and dirigibles are becoming the eyes of navies, just as they are of armies. The treaty puts out Germany's eyes.

With no planes and no submarines, even a big German navy with modern ships would not dare to venture out to battle against a well-equipped fleet. To think of the future German navy going into battle is beyond the imaginative stretch of any naval officer. There is 110 German navy. TRAIN CREW KILLED The engine crew was killed and the locomotive demolished when a commuters' train on the Central Railroad of New Jersey leaped a switch the Jersey City terminal at 8:25 a.m. today.

The fireman, whose name was unobtainable, was killed instantly, and the engineer died a few minutes later. The first two cars of the train, which was of steel construction, left the track, but the only injuries sustained by passengers were small cuts from flying glass. The locomotive, after it had jumped the track, struck a steel switch tower, and the force of the impact carried the tower a distance of 100 feet. ORCHESTRAL CLASS The ninth annual concert of the Brooklyn Orchestral Class took place yesterday in Music Hall of the Academy, Miss Edna Kellogg, soprano, substituted for Jean Barondess, as assisting artist. The concerted work was of excellent order, showing unity and expression, and here and there, touches of individuality and temperament.

Arnold Volpe, conductor, made a strong showing with his young students. The overture to "Raymond." by Thomas, the favorite little "Humoresque," Dvorak, and a "Serenade des Mandolines," by Desormes, with Gounod's in a fantasie arrangement, constituted the program. Miss Kellogg in the "Bird Song," from "Pagliacci," and a group of songs by American composers, did expressive and well-schooled work.

Own Your OWN HOME Read the Real Estate Advertisements ITALY STILL DISCONTENTED; PEOPLE THINK SHE WON'T GET ADRIATIC Rome, Sunday, May 11 (By the Associated Press) The discontent and irritation of the people are again growing because of news from Paris that Italy is not likely to get what she claims on the eastern shore of the Adriatic. The Messaggero says: "President Wilson is obstinately obdurate in his views regarding Fiume, showing that he has not changed his mind." Other reasons for dissatisfaction are the alliance, from which Italy was excluded: the asserted project that the former Austrian merchant marine will be divided among the Allies, although it is held it belongs entirely to Italian firms; the clause in the treaty with Germany saying the three principal powers were sufficient to ratify the treaty, thus, it is alleged, again excluding Italy, and the reported scheme to place Ethiopia, under the protection of the newspapers of Rome publish adverse comments on these subjects.

GUTTERS RUN FUDGE; URCHINS RUN MILES TO CHOCOLATE FIRE River of Molten Candy Blocks Sewers--Floods Streets as Rock wood Factory Burns, "Hey, fellers! I know where there's a fine fire and 'stead of water comin' out, good hot chocolate fudge is runnin' all over the streets. You can lick it up. The cops are there, but they don't mind. They just grin. Come 'long!" Thus heralded to the scene of a fire at the Rockwood chocolate factory this morning at Park and Washington a thousand and one urchins hurried to the fire.

They came in groups, alone, from nearby, from miles away; but they came, for word had passed along the river front that an ocean of fudge was flooding the street in the neighborhood of the factory and that it was accessible to all who ventured near. So the whole neighborhood began to resemble that of the Pied Piper of Hamlin-it swarmed with children bound for the big fire. And when they reached the scene various exclamations of delight punctuated the air. Little the fellows fell on their knees beoncoming flood and dipped it up greedily with grimy fingers. An hour later, when every face was liberally smeared, an emergency call to the truant department was answered by several automobiles.

Chocolate-gorged truants, some with faraway looks in their eyes, were hauled off to school. Here ended the episode that will go down in the anthology of Fudge River as the greatest little fire that ever occurred in Brooklyn. Breaking out as it did in the early hours of the morning, the fire made some headway before firemen summoned by a triple alarm arrived. The loss is estimated at $75,000. The fire started in the shipping department and by hard fighting it was confined to that one building where great quantities of chocolate in bean and bar were stored in burlap bags.

Spontaneous combustion is thought to have been the cause. For three hours it raged and as quickly as water was pumped into the building it ran out, heavily laden with its burden of chocolate. This soon began to cause trouble because the sugar and butter in the composition formed in crusts about the sewers at the end of the street and choked them so badly that Hugh Ward of the Street Cleaning Department found necessary to call upon the Sewerage Department for assistance, asserting that "the flood was becoming sO menacing that it was deep enough to float a rowboat for two blocks along Flushing ave." It flowed through the street like molten lava with a foamy cap of white formed by the sugar and butter that rose. With the many engines that arrived came Deputy Fire Chief of Brooklyn John O'Hara and Deputy Fire Commissioner William F. Thompson.

William T. Jones, president of the Rockwood Company, arrived soon afthe fire started and watched it during the night. At 11 o'clock this morning it was practically out, but fire and police details were still on the scene. A still alarm turned in at 11:30 brought a special squad from the Fire Department to pump the water out of the basement of the building. BOY BRINGS HOME BOMB There was excitement aplenty at 150 Sheridan this borough, last night, when Russell Gordon, 14, strolled into the midst of a dinner party at his home there with a nice little German grenade, in splendid working order as was later learned, under his arm.

The diners were curious first, but a them that war was--well dangerous, second look at the grenade lie convinced and they went away from there with more haste than dignity. After young Gordon and his grenade had been removed, Inspector Edwin Horne of the Brooklyn Bureau of Combustibles was summoned. Water treatment was given the grenade, after which everyone felt safe to investigate the label it bore. A warning not to hold it more than twenty-five seconds and the name of a German firm were stamped on it. The grenade was cylindrical in shape and filled with an explosive.

A fuse was attached. Officials say that in all probability the grenade was brought from France by a soldier and then thrown into a vacant lot where Gordon found it. THIEF IS CHAINED TO AUTO HE STOLE Harry Resin, 17-Year-Old Youth, Brought Back From South to Stand Trial. A dust-laden, mud-caked automobile drove up to Police Headquarters, Manhattan, today with two bedrag- gled occupants, who attracted the attention of the crowd of idlers on the sidewalk. They saw Detective George J.

Andrews of the automobile squad remove his goggles, step into the rear of the tonneau and unfasten a chain which attached a pair of handcuffs to an iron stanchion at the bottom of the car, releasing a prisoner, who was led into the building. Detective Andrews reported to Inspector brought John back J. Harry Cray that he had Resin, 18, of 77 Bay Bensonhurst, from Raleigh, N. and had ridden the entire distance with the prisoner handcuffed and chained in the rear of the car he is alleged to have stolen. An enforced stay at Fredericksburg, from Thursday until Sunday while the automobile was undergoing repairs, almost resulted in the escape of Resin from the local jail.

When Andrews called for his charge, he found that the prisoner had already removed part of the wall of his cell, and it is the belief of the detective that if he had been given a few hours more he would have sueceeded in removing enough of the masonry of the cell wall to effect an escape. Resin was arrested in Raleigh on May 7 and Andrews started on the overland journey the following day. The trip from Fredericksburg WaS made in 24 hours of continuous travel, stopping only long enough for food. Resin is charged with having stolen an automobile belonging to Miss Lillian Duffy, a school teacher of 8748 Bay 16th Bensonhurst, on April 2, while the car was standing in front of her home. It was understood that he had headed South, and the police wired the various towns along the route believed to have taken.

When Resin rolled into Raleigh Chief of Police Barbour recognized the license number and nabbed the fugitive. When Andrews arrived there he decided to bring back both the automobile and the prisoner. With the car stocked with a bottle of water and a basket of food, and the prisoner chained the rear of the tonneau he started North. Engine trouble developed on the way and he put into Fredericksburg for repairs. Both the driver and the passenger were cramped with fatigue and covered with grime when they reached Headquarters and the automobile looked somewhat the worse for wear.

Prohibition Chairman Anderson might attempt it without misgivings. It is only after it settles and the fumes begin rising that the immensity of its value is realized.

The same old glaze of the eye, the inclination to laugh and the general cheerful feeling comes from that same little patty of green jelatine. "After the banquet, at which the 'cocktail' won a lot of continued Dr. Olsen, I received a number of inquiries as to the formula and what I intended to do about it. The world was putting it up to me as a public-spirited citizen, not to waste my talent. "But I know so little about the law.

He was assured that there were any number of other public-spirited citizens ing the law books for a correct interwho were we willing to oblige by searchpretation. In fact, he was told, there are even now numberless citizens who spend all their spare hours pouring through old tomes seeking the loophole. "Well, here is the loophole," announced Dr. Olsen.

"It was not intended for loophole, but if the expected and desired interpretation comes forward, my loophole is destined to fill a long felt want." "But, doctor," urged his visitor. with a depth of feeling that was not altogether impersonal and business like, "the formula, the formula! The world demands the formula.

That is where the matter stands. Surely there is a lawyer or a judge here who will feel the pulse of the people and render his decision with due regard for the exigencies of the times. Dr. Olsen will make further experiments on the "cocktail." It is possible to flavor it to suit any taste and to include as much alcohol as is desired.

J. Tactics of Defense in Alleged Fraud Case Cause Court Spat, It came out today at the calling of the case of the Coastwise Lumber and Supply Company, indicted in the Federal Court for conspiring to defraud the Government by selling "short" and inferior lumber, that neither Judges Thomas Ives Chatfield nor Edwin Louis Garvin will hear the case. An outside judge will sit, as in the Russellite case, but who the judge will be. Federal Attorney James D. Bell today declined to say.

The case had been set down on the calendar for trial today, Prosecutor Henry Ward Beer, because of the failure of the Circuit Court of Appeals to act on the motion before it to return the seized papers to the defendants, asked that over. Judge Garvin postponed the trial until May 21, when, unless a decision adverse to the Government is handed down by the Federal Appellate Court, the trial will go on. The session today was marked again with sharp and bitter clashes between Prosecutor Beer and John J. Curtin, chief counsel for the defense. Curtin charged that Prosecutor Beer has deliberately concealed papers belonging to the defense, the inspection of which, Curtin asserted, is vital to the interests of the men accused.

cutor Beer, replying to this, said that every paper seized was still "in existence," and reiterated his charge made at the last hearing that the defense is tampering with Government witnesses. "Two brave and fearless detectives, hired by the defendants, went over to Jersey City and routed out of bed at 1 o'clock in the morning one of the Government witnesses, Vincent McHorney," said Prosecutor Beer. "They tried to intimidate him into telling what he had told the Grand Jury." Chief Counsel Curtin hotly asserted in answer to this that there was no. such thing as a "property" witness. and asked the court to state that the defense had the right to question a Government witness.

After Prosecutor Beer said that such a statement was trick" to bind the Government, Judge Garvin said he would take no action on the motion. Another witness in the case has died. He was John McCotter, whose funeral was held today. McCotter was the father of Nathaniel McCotter, a defendant represented by Alexander S. Drescher.

His demise was made known through a statement made to the court when his son defaulted on appearance. He was to have been a witness in the case. Thus far 14 witnesses have died. KOREA ASKS BIG FOUR TO GRANT HER FREEDOM Paris, May 12-A petition from the Korean people and nation, asking for liberation from Japan, was submitted to the Peace Conference today by representatives of Korea. The petition also asks for recognition of Korea as an independet State and for the nulification of the treaty of 1910.

Washington, May 12-Recognition by the Peace Conference of Korea's claim to independence was urged by Dr. Syngham Rhee, Secretary of State of the Provisional Korean Government, in a message sent to President Wilson and Premier Clemenceau, asking that the Council of Four grant an audience to the Provisional Government's representative in Paris. The message said, in part: "It is the hope of the Provisional Government that your honorable body will use its good offices persuade this offending member to desist from practicing such inhuman tactics for the purpose of retaining her ill-gotten territory. It is a reflection on your League of Nations, and it is certainly a blot on modern civilization." BRUSSELS EXPECTS WILSON THERE ABOUT MAY 20 Brussels, May 12 (By the Associated Press)-President Wilson will visit Brussels about May according to the Independance Belge, which adds that his visit will "dissipate misunderstandings and establish the goodwill of the Allies toward Belgium."
