Three owners of real estate today filed suits for injunction in the Dis- trict Supreme Court against the Rent Commissioh, the -tenants of their properties and George W. Linkins, their renting agent. Justice Hoehling cited the defendants to show cause Friday why the injunctions should not be issued to prevent the tarry- ing into effect of findings of the Rent!| Commission reducing the rents and 10 enfoln the commission from at- tempting to enforce its findings. The- plaintiffs claim they were not made parties to proceedings before the Rent Commission and that the redyé- tion of rental without hearing the owners is illegal. They ask the re- establishing of the former rentals pending the final ' determination of the case. The plaintiffs are Willlam O.

Linkins, who owns prem- jses 307 S strget northwest and T street northeagt. They are represent- ed by A{lnrn?l Richard A. Ford and Charles G. Allon. . ENGLAND AND U. S. FACE “SHOWDOWN” (Continued from First Page.) India js a domestic matter—how could such\& consultation in London affect the calm of official Washington—3.000 miles away? The answer is this The conference of premiers was called by Prime Minister Liloyd George to learn whether the British empire should or should ot renew the offensive and defensive alliance between Great Eritain and Japan, commonly called the “Anglo-Japanese alliance.” It was made about twenty years ago and provided for a close working arrangement between Japan and Great Britain “for their mut interest.” The phrases of that all ance looked harmless. Indeed, lest it be supposed that Great Britain would be obligated to help Japan in case of war between America and Japan. a provision was incorporated ying that England was not required to fight alongsige of Japan if the latter country made war against any coun- try with which Great Britain had an arbitration treaty. «In the early days this exception was considered a sop to American ‘opinion, and nobody in official circles had any fears of an Anglo-Japanese naval combination against America in wartime. Viewed as Firebrand. Wut since the original Anglo- Japanese alliance was written in 1901 many things have occurred, notably the European war. Various parts of the British empire which had there- tofore allowed London a free hand in making foreign policy for the whole empire awoke to a national con- sciousness. ‘When thousands of young men, the flower of a nation, are sacrificed on the fleld of battle for the preserva- tion of an iniperial government geo- |graphically distant from the bereaved homes a spirit of interest develops at once. Canada had lost in greater proportion than did the United States: Australia’s brave troops were mowed down at Galllpoli and on the western front. Small wonder that the various British dominions rose up and demanded a voice in foreign policy—in the moves that might lead to a future war. Since the dominions were given representation in the assembly of the league of nations they have been taking a deep interest in the foreign policy of the British empire. For one thing, Australia’s alert statesman, Premier Hughes, has been interested naturallg in what islands in the Pa- cifio were awarded to Japan, what was to happen to former German colonies under the system of man- dates or_trusteeshlps set up by the Paris_codference as a sort of subst tute for direct annexation of terr developed _since @stri- ited tory. Friction has the Paris conference over the bution of those islands—the States, for instance, declining to recognize Japan’s right over the im- ¢ Yap, which controls portant island Cali- cable communication between fornia and the far cast. Deecision Pleases America. Austfalia lsn't anxious to see Japan |grow more and more dominant in the Pacific. Western Canada, which has received many Japanese immigrants. has virtually the same attitude to- ward the assimilation of Japanese with Anglo-Saxons as have the people of California. w Zealand thinks about the same as Australia. It S a stormy session which the Briti: overnment had with the dom # premiers. Opposition to the enewal’ of the Anglo-Japanese alliance was unmistakable. America took no part, but our government was happy, to see he thing develop im just that way. ’The Canadian premier pointed out |again and again that the Anglo- Japanese alliance was endangering friendship with the United States. Meanwhile a series of strange newspaper stories emanating from | London came steadily to the Ameri- |can press, giving the impression that, of course. the British government and the Washington government were consulting each other about the Anglo-Japanese alliance and that, of course, it was going to be renewed with the knowledge and consent of | the United States. Just who was re- sponsible for the spread of that im- pression nobody here knows. But the American offieials nipped the thing in the bud. They made it plain in many ways’that the FBritish government had not discussed the matter at all, and that, so far as this government was concerned it had neither sought nor been given any information about the Anglo-Japanese alliance by the British government. Anyway. the objections to a re- newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance egan to accumulate on all sides. tripped of technicalities, a renewal of the alliance meant to the United States a working partnership between England and Japan in peacetime; whereby England’'s talents in naval construction and war preparations would be absolutely at the disposal of the Japanese. It is true that, in war time England would be obiiged to remain neutral, but the last European war owed what the difficulties of neutrality can be and how “benevo- lent -neutrality” can be transferred into practical help. Furthermore, the British dominions couldn’t bear to see their central government working such close relationship with the Japa- nese, who in other parts of the world were in constant conflict with the people of the British dominions. Showdown Inevitable. The words of the Anglo-Japanese alllance were vague and general, yet the interpretation placed on that alli- ance by the Japanese military lead- ers and statesmen became far from vague. The truth is the British busi- ness men of China in a formal state- ment expressed exactly the viewpoint of America when they urged that the Anglo-Japanese alllance be not re- newed, because it had.only served as a menacing stimulant to Japanese political and commercial aggression in_the Pacific and far east. - Thus we have had British citizens in the far east against the Anglo- Japanese alliance, an Australian premier expressing lukewarm support for it, while his people were openly antagonistic, Canada boldl; pro- claiming her hostility to tge idea, and the British government in Lon- don assuring Japan on the ome hand of her faith In the alliance and America on the other her permanent friendship. The showdown has- be- come Inevitable. . (Copyright, 1921, by the Evening Star.) BRIAND KEPT INFORMED. ON _BOARD THE STEAMER LA- FAYETTE, October 31 (By ireless via.

HENRY VAN DYKE. . “Disarm or be destroyed" summar- izes the address of Clinton N. Howard of Rochester, N. Y.,at this afternoon’s session of the convoeation on the lim- itation of armaments at the new Ma- sonic Temple, under the auspices of the National” Reform Association. “Choose between the reduction of arn and revolution,” he said, “de- mobilization or dissolution; disarma- ment or death. We must destroy war or be destroyed by war.” Mr. Howard is a former member of the New- York state legislature and was selected to deliver the “funeral sermon of John Barleycorn” at the mass meeting here on the day when the eighteenth amendment was put into effect. ~ Other Spenkers Heard. Other speakers at today's meeting were Dr. Larrimore C. Denise of Belle- vue, presiding; Mrs, Isabel W, Ball, of the District Women's Relief Corps and Mrs. H. M. Kendrick of this city, representing the Women's Bap- tist Mission Society. Henry Van Dyke, former American nmhhsxdor to Holland, and Bishop Williamt F. Anderson, war bishop in France and Italy, will be among tonight's speak- ers. Dr. Denise urged establishment of a world mechanism for peace and a world mind for peace. ‘The mech- anfsm of peac he said, “requires world agreements, world legislation, a world court, the limitation of na- tional armaments and world police. Senator Willls Strikes Keynote. Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio struck the keynote of the convoca- tion last night during an address be- fore the: when he de- clared that complish much. Navies will not be sunk, nor will armies be disbanded, SENATOR FRANK B. WILLIS. but intelligent agreements among the civilized nations that control the des- tinies of the world will bring ex- penditures for armaments to a tithe of what they are now.” Senator Willis pointed to the “stag- gering” expenditures of the chief nations @s evidence that the choice is now between some limitation of armaments or national bankruptcy. If the world is to live industrially and morally some way must be found to make wars less likely. And if 1 may properly say it, a different spirit must and will rule at Washington than at Versailles. At that confer- ence there was too much of greed and too little of God; men ‘were try- ing, through the manipulation of human agencles, to settle a vast world problem, and the peace of Paris was a failure. 1 trust this forthcoming conference will not for- get God in its dellberations—we need more of religion and less of rifies.” CHARGES MADE AGAINST EX-AUSTRIAN SOLDIER Friends of Bernhard Apfelbaum Make Denial and Present Recommendations. Charges of immorality, desertion from the Austrian army and criminal offense against laws of Germany, made against Bernhard Apfelbaum, an immigrant from Austria, were denied today at a hearing before Commissioner General of Immigration Husband™ and Theodore W. Risley, solicitor for the Department of Labor. Dr. E. B. M. Browne, honorary pre ident of the American Jewish Seventy Elders, appeared for Apfelbaum and denied the charges for which he is being held at Ellis Island awaiting deportation. He preseant an affi- davit signed by Apfelbaur, in which the latter says he served in the Aus- trian army (h;uughout the war and denied the criminal charge made against him in Leipzig, Germany, everal years ago. Apfelbaum is said ot have lived with a woman not his wife in Vienna four- teen years ago, and Dr. Browne paid H. R. Landes, deputy commissioner of im- migration, ‘at is Island, insisted he would _judgs Apfelbaum the standard of Ameérican ‘morals and not of ropean morals. “American mor- als nowadays are more corrupt than anywhere, else,”” says a brief flled by, Dr. Browne. Dr. Browne said he had in his pos- session a certificate of good morals in favor .of Apfelbaum from the police de- partment of Vienna. He added that his client has a certificate of recommenda~ tion from two chemical manufactures and has similgr certificates from the Vienna' Cham! of Commerce. Apfel- baum is_a reputable business man of Vienna, Dr. Browne said, and possesses permits to conduct a business in that city from the municipal authorities.

Three years ago, on the 1st of No- bember, 1918, the entire American Army in France took up vigorously the pursuit of the defeated enemy and did not halt until the German surrender. . “Hour of glory for the “American Army, a proper culmination for a military effort; prodigious alike in its intensity as in its rapidity. One and all, you have had your share in' it. You ‘may well be proud. “In responding in mass to the call to arms of your government, in equip- ping, training and organjzing your- selves as raprily as possible, you had in view only the purpose to take your place as soon as possible in the line of battle. Enumerates U. S. Achievements. “In numbers: Eighteen months after the declaration of war by the United States on Germany the American Army had passed from effectives of 9,500 officers and 125,000 men to 180,- 000 officers and 3,500,000 men. “Effort of organization: If, in the month of March, 1915, you had in France but six divisions, six months later you had forty-one, of which thirty-one engaged in battle. “Effort in instruction: In order to have oflicers, non-commissioned of- ficers and men rapidly trained, you multiplied in America, as in France, your schools and camps, which be- came centers of prodiglous activity. “In order to arm you and camp you the American " manufactories worked without respite and supplied all your needs. “Admirable effort also In transpor- tation. You swept away every obstacle which interfered with bringing your units from the centers of instruction to_the ports of embarkation. “In France you improved the ports of debarkation, created new installa- tions, increased the traffic of the rail- road system by work of all kinds and multiplied your- storehouses and hospitals. “Your shipyards were organized for intensive production in such a: way that when the war ended you utiliz- ed for your ocean transportation almost four millions of marine ton- nage, instead of 94,000 available at the beginning of the war.

Again it was the spirit of those five divisions which, on the 18th of July. participz ed in the victorious counter offensive of the 10th and 6th French Armies be- tween the Aisne-and the Marne and contributed in great measure to that ctory Finally, it was that spirit which animated ‘all the American Army when, on the 24th of July, GéN. Pershing formed yuor splendid units under his own direct command. “On the 12th-of September, 1918, the first American Army delivered its first battle on the soil of France. It dis- lodged the enemy from the St. Mihiel salient, where he had intrenched himself for nearly four vears, threw him back bevond the foot of the hills of the Meuse. From the very first American _Army entered into glory. How many further laurels was it vet to win? Portrays St. Mihiel Campaign. “The St. Mihiel operation was nearly ended when the American Army at- tacked on a new front. On tne 25th of September it was engaged on tne right Wwing,of the vast allied offensive. The poin of direction assigned to it was Mezieres, on the Meuse. “Deploved from the left bank of the Meuse to the eastern confines of Champagne, it had three army corps in line on a front of nearly forty kilometers. “Before it stretched the region of the Argonne, formidable emplacement of the German defense, a wooded ter- rain, rugged, difficult in its very na- ture and rendered more s0 by all the defensive organizations which had been accumulated there during the last four vears. “Nothing could discourage or check your army. It threw itself with gener- ous ardor'into the iImmense melge. The task was a rude one, but it was car- ried out to a thorough finish. “Fighting without respite night and day for a month, advancing in spite of the pitfalls and the counter-attacks of the enemy, it succeeded, by pure force of tenacity and heroism, in liberating the wild region of the Ar- gonne. . Argonne on Its Banners. “After St. Mihel it could now in- scribe proudly upon its banners the name of the Argonne. . “On_the 16th of October, this great task finished, it joined hands with the ‘l!h French army in the defile of Grand Te. 2 “In consequence of this, the enemy’'s resistance was severely shiken; the moment had arrived to give him the final blow. “On the 1st of November just three yearsagotoday, the 18t American Army agajn attacked and, in a splendid advance, reached Buzancy, penetrat- ing the German line for more than ten kilometers. “The enemy this time vetired de- finitely; the Stars and Strips at once took up: the pursuit and, six days later, floated victoriously over the Meuse reconquered. “After St. Mihlel, after the Argonne, the American banners now bore the name Meuse. In a few months you had taken 45,000 prisoners and 1,400 cannon from the enemy. “Glory to the ¥st American-Army; glory also to those of your djvisions which, distributed among the French and British armies, contrjbuted in great measure to the final success, whether with the 5th French Army to the northwest of Rheims or with the 4th French Army, in which they carried in magnificent assault the strong positions ‘of Orfeuilles; " or again with the British armies for the capture ol the famous Hindenburg line, or with thée group of armies of Flanders, pursuing the enemy upon the road to Brussels.

Gen. .Pershing then turned his at- tention to the legion and praised its campaigns for Americanism and kin dred ideals. He urged the legion to continue its ‘efforts to bring into being a_ military force, tive of the people, which in any fu- ture war will escape the results of unpreparedness that you suffered. He urged that the legion bend its efforts also toward obtaining all pos- sible relief for incapacitated veterahs of the war. He predicted that zreat good would result from the coming conference on armament in Wash- ington and that an understanding would be reached which would lessen the chances of war. The greetings of Marshal Foch and en. Pershing was the principal busi ness of the morning. This afternoo the legion's big parade is scheduled with thousands of legionnaires, mem bers of the Grand Army of the Re- public and Spanish war veterans, and others in the line of march. Legion officials expected to sandwich some convention routine into the morning proceedings, after which the gather- ing was to proceed to the Union sta- tion plaza, where the memorial Kanmas City is to erect in honor of its dead will be dedicated.

The first day of the convention closed last night after receiving Ad- miral Earl Beatty, commander of the British grand fleet, and selecting New Orleans as the 1922 convention city. The delegates gave Admiral Beatty a five-minute demonstration and com- pelled him to come back and talk again after Maj. John G. Emery of Grand Rapids, Mich., natlonal com- mander of the legion, had pinned upon the admiral's breast, the officlal emblem of the legion. Later the crowd forced a speech from Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman. in command of American ships in Euro- pean waters during the war, and joined with him in glving what he termed = “three rousing ~ American cheers” for Admiral Beatty. The recommendation was made that next year's convention be held the third ‘week in October and that the sessions continue five days instead of three. n;dmiral Beatty spoke of America’s part in the war and safd that fortu- nately this country had come to the rescue of a sorely tried nation Hoing its utmost to preserve civilization, Admiral Beatty was applauded when he asserted that “those who made a victorious peace possible, who stood - 1108 ~#-Men have valuable asse! fully , deci niture. rarity and value of 'corisistency.

Lieut. Gen. Baron Jacques of Bel gium and Gen. Armando Diaz of Italy, two of the leglon's guests of honor, entered Convention Hall amid a blare of bands. The crowd cheered wildly. As the demonstration proceeded Gen. Jacques waved to Gen. Diaz and the Italian hero waved back. Both generals wore as their premier decoration of the day the American distinguished service medal. “Italy remembers and appreciates. was the word Gen. Diaz brought. from the Itallan government and people to the people of the United States. He spoke in Jtalian, When 'Gen. Diaz concluded, Com- mander Emery pinned upon his brcast the officlal emblem which the con- vention authorized him to wear. 3Jen, Jacques, Marshal Foch and M. Charles Bertrand of France also were author- ized to wear the emblem by the con- vention. When duced ( where, Commander zation was saved to the world, crowd went wild again. “Atta Boy!” Spurs on General. Apologizing for his Inability to speak English plainly, Sen. Jacques was interrupted by a doughboy on the floor, whe shouted: “Atta boy! “We do not forget, we cannot for- get,” the gzeneral said, “all we owe you for the aid you brought us during the most tragic moments in the his- ltory of our glorious country.” Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, com- mander-in-chief of the United States Marine Corps the next speaker, was introduced by Commander Emery as “Devil Dog Jack Lejeuno.” Gen. McBride, who delivered the greetings of the G. A. R., emphasized the citizenship responsibilities resting upon the legionnaires. The general's’ appearance evoked much enthusiasm and his address was repeatedly cheered. President Sends Mesaage. “We are proud of what you did as oldiers,” he said. “We are hopeful of what you may do as citizens. “In S0 far as you can control the di rection of affairs,” he counseled, nothing ever arise that can mar the friendship or disturb the comradeship }of nations that was formed during the great war. At any cost, however, he charged that the complete independence of the United States myst be maintained. A message from the United Confed- erate Veterans was delivered by R. A. Pearson of Kansas City, wearing his uniform of gray. President Harding sent a_message that nothing was closer to his heart than the welfare of the former service men. D. C. DELEGATES ACTIVE.

Mo., November 1 —When this city awoke this mor ing it looked as though a Kal sas cycline had struck the town ovel night. The streets were strewn in every direction with confetti and de- bris as the result of the firet night's carnival of the American Legion con- vention. The town keys were turned over to the legionaires, and it is needless to state that they. were ac- cepted and made good use of. The police force is giving them full sway, and the result is that it resembles the inauguration days in years gone by. when the'National Capital was turned topsy turvey by visiting sol- diers. Masqueraders paraded the streets nearly all night long, and kept the town in an uproar.
