British Press Divided on
Lloyd George's Threat
j Against Germany
QUOTE WILSON'S VIEWS
' -r
Impossible to Carry Out Both
American and Premier's
Policies
By the Associated Press
London, Aug. 2.
" Sharp dissent to 'the threat of Premier
David Lloyd Georse to use the economic
National Union of Manufacturers yes-
' , weanon against Germany after the war,
Premier hnfnrn n riolfpntlnn frnm thn
lis outlined In an address made by the
'terday. Is expressed by the Liberal press
and the premier's lew. It Is said, will
not be Indorsed In America.
Quoting the phraso "the longer the
war lasts the sterner must be the
economic terms we impose on the foe,"
used "by Mr. Lloyd George, the Chronicle
Rays :
"We doubt very much whether that is
how President Wilson views the ques
tion. It Is certainly not the view of
American opinion generally. Americans
attach great Importance to the eco-
nomlc weapon which the Allies, acting
together, could wield, but the Americans
do not wish it wielded with a vlndlctle
purpose for any fixed period after the
war. It will not be possible to carry out
both the American policy and Lloyd
George's policy. They are alternate e,
not supplementary.
"The American suggestion Is full of
hope and help In the pursuit of ultimate
. permanent world peace. That of Lloyd
George lias quite the opposite tend
ency ')
The Dally News says: "It Is Idle for
Lloyd George or any other statesman to
maintain that the spirit underlying n
league of nations Is reconcilable with
, the spirit underlying and Inspiring tho
protectee tariff.
"We must choose one or the other. It
Is a question of the policy of Wll&on
or the policy of the Paris lcsolutlons. If
American ews on tlie Paris resolutions
have been unexpressed In olllclal Uocu
' ments, they have been expressed repeat
edly and unequivocally In President Wil
son's speeches, which hae preached a
gospel utterly Incompatible with the per
petuation of hostility through an eco
nomic war.
Conseruitlvo papers, on the other
hand, generally Indoisc the Premier's
address, although some accuse him of
being Indefinite. The Times, recogniz
ing the existence of the opinion In some
quarters that the United States will not
consent to the employment of economic
weapons against Get many, emphasizes
the fact that the Premier expressed the
hope that an ngi cement might be
reached on ccnomlo as well as- other
problems between America and Kngland.
. It cites the phrase used by President
Wilson In his Mount Vernon address,
"No half-way decision s tolerable," nnd
says: "Germany is hardly likely to
bellvv that the Allies mean what Pres
ident Wilson thus said for them as
long as they fall to take what Lord
,vRobert Cecil, Under-Secretary of State
or Foreign Affairs, described the other
V V as 'all steps required to destroy
th' economic basis of Germany's mili
tary effort." "
SUFFRAGE IS WORLD
ISSUE, WILSON SAYS
President Urges Senator
Baird's Support as Aid to
Fight for Democracy
Wanlilnicion, ug. 2. (By I. N. S.).
President Wilson today continued his
drive to round up support of the Susan
B. Anthony equal suffrage amendment In
he Senate, In a letter to Senator David
Balrd, of New Jersey, tho President
urged that the Junior Senator from his
own State support the measure.
The President In his letter expresses
the belief that "our piesent position as
champions of democracy throughout the
world" would be greatly strengthened If
the Senate would follow the example of
the House or Representatives In passing
the amendment.
The letter follows:
"My Dear Senator Balrd:
"The whole subject of woman suf
frage has been very much In my mind of
late and has come to seem to be a part
of the international situation, as well as
nf r.i nit al Imnortance to the United
States. I believe our present position as
champions of democracy throughout the
wor.a wouui ue greauy sireiiBincm-u
the Senate would follow the example of
th. House of Representatives in passing
fftho pending amendment. I therefore
' take the liberty of writing to call the
matter to your serious attention In this
light and to express the hope that you
I will deem It wise and throw your inftu
V ence on the side of this great and now
: critical reform.
"Sincerely yours.

which have just been announced bv the
Children's Bureau nf the United States
Department of Labor at Washington
and the Child Welfare Department of
tho Woman's Committee a one of the
features of Children's Year.
It Is proposed that a week or part

different communities, bo set aside as a
time when all the children nnd young
people shall have a chance to test
their strength and muscular agility by
competing In athletic contests of vari
ous kinds. The plan la to provide play
leadership locally tluoughout the sum
mer In games that promote physical ef
ficiency. In the Patriotic Play Week
tho children will be given a chance to
rhovv the results of thel-- summer's play
and other activities
Play week Is Intended to Include nil
the occupations of children's summer
time such woik as Is done by tho boys'
nnd girls' clubs the canning, pig nnd
poultiy raising clubs of the Department
of Agriculture, which are oiganized in
every State Boy Scouts can give their
drills and demonstrations of their spe
cial activities. There mav be exhibits
of work done for the Junior Red Cross
or for other patriotic purposes, nnd such
things as bird houses, garden furniture
and kites, which the children have made,
may be displayed.
At the same time that the exhibit Is
going on, It Is hoped that the children
nnd young people will be given a chance
to have the best possible sort of a time.
In wartime more than ever it is nec
essary to hold our chidlren to a nor
mal, healthful way of life, to keep them
cheerful and happy. It Is well known
that play Is essential to the best health
and development of children. Play, games
and sports stimulate grow'th and vigor
both of mind and body, train the spe
cial senses and strengthen will and
character. Therefore, mothers should
lend all needed encouragement to their
children when they are asked to take
part In the patriotic play week. Chil

join the choruses, those who play some
instrument should be allowed to take
part in the bands, those who have made

TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Building and Loan Associa
tions Oppose Attorney Gen- j
era l
Brown's Ruling
Two thousand building and loan as
sociations throughout the State will fight
In court for the patriotic prlvllegp of
purchasing Liberty Bonds, the result of
a ruling by Francis Shunk Brown. State
Attorney General, to the effect that the
associations cannot Invest their funds
In this manner.
Claude A SIinnt:. chairman of the
building .-! loan nsspclntlon Liberty
Loaii committee, reived notice of the
proposed action In a letter today to
Daniel V I.afean. State Commissioner
of Banking
The tilling of ttorney tlrneial Browr
was made to Commissioner Lafe.in yes
terday It was to the effett that build
ing nnd loan associations ale co-operative
concerns and the stockholders not
permanent Investors and. therefore, can.
not make peimanint Investment, and
can makp loans only to stockholders
The stockholders are entitled in nil
profits, and for that reason their cannot
be any suiplus. the Attorney General
I
holds.
Michael J Brown, sceretniv of the i
City of Homes Building and Loan Aso. i
elation, declared Attorney General '
Biown's ruling would not' cause the!
building nnd loan associations ans
vv orry. I
"In the first place, the Llhertv Loan j
is not a permanent Investment, but onlv
temporary," said Mr. Brown "In the I
second place, the State law upholds our '
patriotic procedure of btiving bonds As
regards the surplus, building and loan
associations are allowed to borrow 2.ri
per cent of the withdrawal value of ,
their shares When they hot row monev
that amount Is a surplus, and they can
Invest It In the Liberty Loan, according !
to the State law.
"Regaidlng the Attorney General's i
statement about the shareholders being
entitled to all the profits, the purchase
of Liberty Loans has nothing to do with '
the profits. Of lourse, there Is some
question as to whether a Libel ty Bond'
investment at 4'- per cent certain In-i
terest Is as profitable ns a risk at 0 per '
cent. But our purchase of Liberty I
Bonds is a help to the people, for bonds i
are just the same as rash, and If the
people want to vvlthdi.iw we can give '
them Libel ty Bonds."
