PEACE BODY HEARS PLEA FROM GREEK Gennadius Says Only United States Protest Can Check Turk Atrocities. Representing a nation at war, Joannes Gennadius, former minister of Greece to Great Britain>declared before the American Peace Society celebrating its ninety-fourth anniversary at Rauscher's Jast night, that peace could be estab- lished only on a foundation of “liberty and justice.” “The Greeks In Asia Minor are being butchered by the thousand daily,” said the speaker, attacking the Turks and Kemal Pasha, “and to expedite their extermination they are goaded into herds and marched into the wilderness, from which long road there is no re- turn, for, naked and famished, they drop one after another by the way. “What peace can you Jhave’' ap- pealed M. Gennadius, *with' such mon- sters of infamies? Your own mis- sionaries, your own countrymen, have seen and reported these horrors. Will You remain deaf to their appeal? We have no wish to involve you in difficul- ties, much less in wars. But God has blessed you with a mightier Weapon than the sword. Your declared protest, Vour outspoken condemnation of this veturn to savagery, will do more to stave off hostilities and to establish peace than all the armed succour we tan bring for the redemption of our Massacred brothers. Then, lift up your voice and let the world understand that e purpose of this soclety is to establisi T Paa foundation of liberty and Semor Mathlen Speaks. Senor Don Beltran Mathiqu, Chilean ambassador, in addressing the soclety pointed out that “the confilet of economic interests” remained the principle cause for war. “Even this may not be Ineradicable,” he sald, “it the peoples can but convince themselves that the economic world is regulated by laws as unalterable as those of nature and that the doc- trine of ‘live and let live’ is just and safe.” A permanent court of arbitration before which all nations pledge them- selves to appear in all justiciable questions would “strengthen the, cause of justice among nations.” Prof. Charles Cheney Hyde told the soclet. Psychology as applied to the prob- lems of war and peace was discussed by Prof. Carl Emil Seashore of the State University of Iowa. Rowe Urges Effort. Dr. L. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union, told the society that peace must be held up as a positive constructive effort, “to A e \magination, as war has| stirred the imagination.” 3 pt. Gordon Gordon-Smith of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and( Slovenes suggested that one of thej activities of the society might be the suppression of false information re-! garding foreign couptries coming | here as propaganda. Representative Andrew J. Montague of Virginia, president of the society, | presided. The invocation was given by Dr. JayT. Stocking of New Jersey. SPECIAL NOTICES. l THREE-DAY RECESSES | FOR HOUSE PROBABLY - TO START ON JUNE 15 ‘When will Congress adjourn? This question has come to be the principal toplc of discussion on Cap- itol Hill this week. Leaders trying to size up the situation so to give a reliable answer: It now seems certain that the Senate will not finish its work until late in August and more likely until about October 1. In the meantime House leaders believe that the House will be able to start on a series of three-day recesses under a gentleman's agreement, starting on June 15. % It is pretty general belief among members .that House Leader Mon- dell is fearful that if he let it be known that a recess would start pretty soon he would have difficulty holding enough members in Wash- ington to transact business. The members of the House have the get-away itch pretty serfously. COTTON MANUFACTURERS TO ELECT OFFICERS TODAY Beports of Standing Compmittees Made During Morning SesSion at Hotel Washington. Reports of standing committees, fol- lowed by business discussion pertinent to the organization, consumed the entire early session of the twenty- sixth annual convention of the Amer- ican Cotton Manufacturers' Assocla- tion at the Hotel Washington today. President L. D. Tyson of Knoxville, Tenn.,, was in the chair. Included among the papers read were the fol- lowing: ‘“Legislation and Tariff and the Nationa! Council of American Cotton Manufacturers,” by Stuart W Cramer of Charlotte, N. C.; “Tariff,” Ellison A. Smyth, chairman, Green- ville, S. C., and George W. Forrester, trafic_ manager ‘oreign J. D. Woodside, Greenville, Alex- S. ander Long, Rock Hill, S. C. Later in the day officers to serve for the ensuing vear will be elécted, after which adjournment will be taken. Foreseeing an undreamed-of pros- perity in the very near future, pro- vided the nations of the world do their full share in economic co-opera- tion, Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, ad- dressed the members of the organ- ization at & banquet in the hotel last night. Sir Auckland emphasized the hope for close Anglo-American co-opera- d said that he desired to come about not only for the “but also as a means to the greater end of co-operation between the gov- ernments and economically and finan- cially between the nationals of all4 the nations, because only in that way will we be able to secure that at- mosphere necessary to the complete restoration of economic prosperity.” The ambassador declared that the British people have no dearer wish than that they may go forward “as friends and co-operators” with the American people. He stressed what he eaid were the similar ambitions and aspirations of both nations for world “friendship and peace,” and declared thgl both “Wwant to bring sack the wellbeing of an econom- ically shattered world.” President Tyson presided as toast- master, and Dr. J. B. Kirkland, chan cellor of Vanderbilt University, wai the other speaker. He spoke on the advance of industry throughout the ges. Hard work, diligent striving toward perfection in industry, he said would eventually bring nations to normalcy.

A large delegation of music entausi- asts, headed by Robert Lawrence, or- ganizing director of Washington's Music week, were at the station to welcome the Indiana singers and, after congratu- lations had been extended, the visitors were driven to their quarters in the city.

Another organization expected to arrive in_Washington today is the Norfleet Trio of New York city, a nationally known chamber music body, that has played throughout the United States during the past few years. They, too, will furnish an ex- tensive program during the week. Announcement was made today that Music week would be observed b the Arts Club tomorrow night with a special piano recital by Helen Cor- bin Heinl.

The benefactors are base ball fans and players, automobilists and joy-riders, golf and tennis play- ers.and the idle rich, it is further stated. Of about fourscore opinions, in addl- tion to the “yes or no" answer con- tained on the ballots received yester- day the Daylight Savings Editor has five letters that uphold the present scheme, the remainder being vigor- ously opposed, in virtually every case, to all plans for conserving daylight. Mrs. J. C.

The clock means nothing to them, and when the weather becomes hot the early hours of the night do not give the chance for restful steep that can be had in the cool of the morning.” Syatem Classed as Cruel. It is cruel, says Mrs. Clarence J. Fernald, to wake children out of sleep an hour earlier to get ready for school. “I think children ought to be allowed to sleep until they wake naturally,” she says. “They are be- comyng tired and- irritable, and it takes an hour from my sleep, too, for 1 have to get up that same hour In the morning, when it is “This new order of things just cheats us out of an hour of sleep and makes us grow old so much the sooner. “A mother” states that she does her own housework and “likes daylight saving” for this reason: “I have a small_daughter, and as the nearest school, the John Eaton, at 34th and Lewell streets, is a mile or more away, T take her to and from school, and. if you've ever walked up sunny Woodley road, you'd be thankful to start while it is fresh and cool.” Let the clocks run as they have for centuries past, urges Mrs. N. M. Del- linger. “Those who want to see more daylight,” she says, “have the privil- ege of arising at any hour they wish. If they arise at 4 am.

If it is reaily going to make them suffer any hardships no one would want to influence them to change their opinion An employe of the Agricultural De- partment, who “commutes,” says he required to leave home at least one and a quarter hours earlier in the morning and get a train that makes sixteen stops before it reaches Washington. This train, he said, for- merly made four stops. The ad- vance in time “means an entire dis- arrangemeént of our households, for the women of the family have to arise an hour or more earlier each morning to start the members of the family who are employed in the District, and then to have to read- just things the balance of the day to the standard time for other mem- bers of the family whose employ- ment ls outside the District. No resident outside of the District submitted a letter that indicates a favorable attitude to the present scheme. Everett T. Haycroft of the Federal Trade Commission savs: “It is surely of benefit to those who have a limited time for recreation and allows time for golf and base ball to those who Would not have time otherwise.

CRANE NOT CONVITED Consul in Syria Informs State Department Reports Un- founded. The American consul - at Beirut, Syria, cabled the State Department under date of May 26 that he had found no basis for Cairo, Egypt. re- ports that Charles R. Crane had been found guilty by a French military court at Damascus of having attempte ed to incite anti-French disturbances in Syria. The French high commis- sioner at Damascus, the consul said, ad issued an_authoritative denial, and this had been published in the newspapers in Damascus and else- where. 1y The consul's report is the only one to have reached the State Department concerning Mr. Crage. MAY REFORM SYRIA. BY WILLIAM E. NASH. By _Cabie to The Star and Chicago Daily News. PARIS, 1 May 27.—Reform in the French Syrian government is likely to be the outcome of the incident in event reports are confirmed that Charles R. Crane of Chicago has been sentenced to twenty years' imprison- ment by a French military court at Damascus for inciting Syrians to revolt. That government has been accused repeatedly by some people of being impertalistic and out of touch with the home authorities. It is believed in diplomatic circles that the home government is em- barrassed by the reported action of its Syrian officials toward Mr. e. Premier Poincare could hardly carry out twenty-year prison gentence against_a prominent citizen of the United States. On the other hand, he would find it difficult to ignore & sen- tence passed by a bona fide Frenck co;:hlbly the affair will end with apologies on the side of the Quay &'Orsay and & disavowal of the deeds of the Syrian administration.

Lewis of the Treasury De- partment considers it “a‘great blei ing. The daylight-saving plan does not split the day up, he says, “and we do our office work when we are fresh and the results are a higher degree of efficiency.” Opposition Humorous, or Pitifal. One of the five letters favorable to the plan attacks those who oppose it. The author say: *It would be humo: ous were it not pitiful, to learn that there are people in the District of Co- lumbla who are opposed to daylight- saving. ‘There arg none 8o blind those who will not see.’ Every move for the amelioration of mankind meets with opposition from those who have most to gain from it. So with this, Not one logical reason has been ad. vanced against its adoption in citie: while a number of stupid and ridic; lous statments have been broadcasted with a view to discrediting it. Candidly, I can find no intelligent person opposed to daylight-saving, while every victim of their own fears, every erratic and prejudiced person with whom I am acquainted, is opposed to it.” The letter is postscripted with this statement: “I pity the poor boobs who are so dense as to oppose the The writer said he did not care to have his name printed.

Boschen by orders, presumably of the chief of finance, Gen. Lord, who is to succeed Hell and Maria Dawes as budget officer. Our hours are now $ am. to 4:30 p.m.” A suggestion for saving daylight, other than the one now in vogue, is sent in by A. Galgler, 1215 8th street northwest, who, writing under the heading “A Hum Bug,” says: “If some of those daylight-savers could ; make a container or receptical of some kind that would hold one hour's daylight and keep it till dark, then open it and let it out, to light up for an hour, that would be daylight saved, but under the present plan ‘there is no such thing as daylight-saving.’ " Injects a Quotation. Robert M. Dawson, 106 E street northwest, brings up this quotation: “In_the last days they will seek to change times and seasons and you shall have children for your rulers,” to which he hdds, “Haven't we got ‘em”” “Now listen,” he contimnues, “this effort to change God's hours is oppre sive and calls for vengeance and re- dress. The school ehildren yawn at schools; meals at improper and ui wholesome hours; poor mothers worked to death by being rousted up and out too soon; milkmen, breadmen, worked down and out during the very hours God made for rest. Oh, it is horribly oppressive!” A. M. Lassell of 511 Kenyon street northwest, wants to know why the business man is obliged to open his store at the same time the govern- ment clerk starts his office work and if the business man closes his store at the same time the government clerk leaves his office, when will the government clerk do his shopping?” John R. Weathers, 17 lowa circle, write: “Thousands of us thank you and The Star management for making it possible for us to give expressions on the distracting fad of so-called ‘day- light-saving.' It is a foreign vagary, wholly unacceptable to the “earnest, busy people of this city and the Dis- trict. position of a_twenty-year sentence upon Charles R.
