OFFICER ONTRIAL IN FUND SHORTAGE Capt. Harold A. Barnes Ac- , cused of Larceny at Fort Myer Commissary. Capt, Harold A. Barnes, Quarter- master Corps, U. S. &, formerly at- tached to the post at Fort Myer, was placed on trial before a court-martial board in the Munitions Building to- day on a charge of embezzlement of $1,800 in funds of the commissary, lar- ceny in failing to account for the money and with making false official reportd. When arraigned this morn- ing he pleaded not guilty to all . charges as read by Capt. William J. Bacon. The court had been in recess for al daye, as its jurisdiction had cen attacked by TR A anville Munson, counsel for the accused, who pleaded that there w. no authority for the establishment of the district of Washington, as the national de- fense act provided only for the es tablishment of corps areas in the con- tinental United States, which were to . include both militia and reserves in those sections. The district of Wash- ington, he said, is not organized in aceordance with the national defense act. Gives Legal Ruling. Col. James H. Stansfield, law member of the court, ruled in sub- stdnce that it dc not appear that Congress intended to take away the uthority of the President, mander in Chief, to appoint a genera officer to command a certain distric in accorda with the eighth article of war. district of Washington was organized and placed under a ®eneral officer, with authority to con- Yvene courts- rtial by direction of the President, he said.

GEN. HAAN Popular Coxilmsnfler in World War to Be Buried With Military { Honors in Arlington. Maj. Gen. William G. Haan, com- mander of the 32d Division during the {World War, idol of the members of that organization, who died at the Mount Alto Hospital unday night, will be buried with military honors tomorrow in Arlington National Cem- etery, Funeral services Will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Twenty- third street near Washington Circle, at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. A. A. Mc- Callum, rector of the church, will of- ficiate, assisted by Chief of Army Chaplains Axton. The services at the grave will be conducted by Chaplain Axton, assisted by Dr. McCallum. A battalion of field artillery and a squadron of cavalry will act as a ary escort. The pallbearers will be close friends, classmates and members gf the d Division. Representatives of the 32d Division from Michigan and Wisconsin w be present at the serv- ices. The division which Gen. Haan commanded during the war was com- posed” of the National Guards of Michigan and Wisconsin. . Haan was regarded as a leader with qualities of a military genius combined with an honesty of char- acter and an understanding of his fellow men that made him beloved by not only every officer, but every en- listed man who had the honor of hav- ing him as leader. ‘Gen. Haan is one of the great gen- erals of the war,” are the words used by the great French Gen. Mangin, in commenting upon the service rendered as commanding general of the 32d Division under the French com- mander. R When Gen. Mangin decorated the colors of the 32d Division, called by the French “Les Terribles,” he spoke as follows: “My dear American comrades: “I am very happy to be among you once more and proud that this meet- ing of ours is taking place on the other side of the Rhine. The occasion of this reunion is to bestow upon you a few decorations, meager tokens of the gratitude which the French re- public, the people of France, and .the soldiers, feel toward you, for the bril- liant conduct and the splendid courage you displayed in taking the town of Juigny, the memory of which remains with us, and which will place in his- tory the glorious deeds of the 32d Division and of its able and valiant chief, Gen. Haan. “You are going back to your noble country, proud to have accomplished your task for its sake and for the sake of humanity. “Take back with you the assurance of continued friendship and eternal gratitude of France.” i.ct Us Estimate —on yome printing needs.

C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, DECLARES SCIENCE GAN AID RELIGION No Incompatibility if Prop- erly Understood, Editor Tells Students. That science, properly understood, can be of material aid to the clergy in the advancement of civilization was the challenge laid down to critics of the incompatibility of science and religion by Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, edi- tor of Sclence Service, at the opéning today of the eighth annual convoca- tion of the school of religion of How- ard University. Dr. Slosson pointed out that both sclence and religion meet a distinct human need and are not irreconcilable. Jesus, he said, used sclence to illus- | trate many of his ecclesiastical teach- ings. A curlous feature of the present | situation between science and religion, | he added, is that the lay mind is more alarmed ' over the advancement of science than the clergy, due primarily to a matter of temperament. The National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Slosson explained, has never “black-balled” a member because he | was @ Presbyterian, although a num- ber of ecclestiastical colleges have dismissed professors for teaching the theory of evolution. “Selence and Religio Speaking on “Science and Refigion,” Dr. Slosson began by criticizing the product of many of the theological | seminaries. “A great many graduates of theological seminari he said, ‘are smartly up-to-date about all subjects excapt theology. The modern theologist can give you the glad hand at the church door or teach a Boy Scout how to salute the flag, but he is not capable of leading a congregation. As a result, serious- minded people are going places other than the church for metaphysics. If the church is going to be more than a booster's club, some one, who can lead, has got to seize hold.” ’ “The world is in the midst of the greatest revolution of thought it has ever known,” Dr. Slosson continued. “The flood of new theories coming into science requires accommodations in our brain.” Urges Work at Home. A plea to the negro ministry of | America to solve its home problems | before undertaking to uplift “their| brothers across the sea” was made | by Rev. George C. Clement, bishop of the Methodist Kpiscopal Zion Church of Louisville, Ky. Dr| Clement explained that there are 12,000,000 negroes in the United States, 5,000,000 of whom are mem- bers of the Christian Church. Conditions in rural communities, where religious services are held only once and twice a month, were depre- cated by Dr. Clement as “the great weakness of our pulpit” A large percentage of the rural ministers, he pointed out, live away from the peo- ple whom they are expected to serve, thereby losing the personal contact so essential to strong leadership. Many country preachers, also, he said, are small farmers and their interests are divided. Drawing an analogy between the rural and the urban churches, Dr. Clement said that the pressure of so- clety, Sunday amusements, strenuous living conditions, industrial uncer- tainties and unrest and criminal tendencies are detracting from. the ministers’ influence in the cities. Work in Africa. Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Slater-Jeanes funds, described educa- tional and religious conditions in Africa, stressing the rigid entrance require- ments at a new native institution in South Africa. Dr. D. Butler Pratt, dean of the How- ard University School of Religion, for- mally opened the convocation. The gen- eral subject for the convocation confer- ences is “The Christian Ministry. Sessions will be held through Thurs- day. The convocation sermon will be de- livered tonight by Rev. W. S. Abernethy, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. Speakers at this afternoon’s session are Rev. William Stuart Nelson and Rev. Sterling N. Brown. A round table dis- cussion of the education of negro min- isters will follow, at which Dr. Robert L. Kelly, director of the negro theologi- cal seminary survey of New York, will speak. —— MAY CLOSE SUNSHINE HOME FOR WOMEN Poor Condition of Building Is Giv- en as Chief Reason for Pro- jected Move. Action looking toward the tempo- rary closing of the Sunshine Home for Women at 339 C street and for the utilization of the newly organized ‘Women’s Emergeficy Home at 103 41 street for such cases as would be de- prived of shelter thereby will be con- sidered during the latter part of this week at.a meeting of the Women's Council at the Wardman Park Hotel. Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Becker, long ex- perienced*in welfare work, and dur- ing the war connected with the Georgetown Home for Women, oper- ated by the Volunteers of America, will be in charge of the new home on Four-and-a-half street. The furni- ture and furnishings of the Sunshine Home will be loaned to the Emer- gency Home pending arrangements for possible reopening of the Sun- shine Home. The condition-of the building, which is one of Washington's oldest and most historic structures, erected more than 100 years ago, Is the primary reason for the closing of the estab- lishment, which is self-supporting and which, during Winter months ha cared for upward of 60 and 70 women in need of shelter and lodging. Miss Clara Nelson, who has carried on the supervision of .the Sunshine Home for many years, will take a short vacation during the closing of the home, after which, she said today, she wouid bend her efforts toward the re-establishment of the Sunshine Home -for Women. The house itself, which was used as a residence by John Quincy Adams, and which was omce the cen- ter of grounds that extended with a vineyard all the way from C street to Indiana avenue, has but one bath- room, and because of sanitary reasons, as well as for other causes, it was deemed impracticable to keep the home open in its present condition during the coming - Winter months. Mrs. L. Conness, member of the board, and a descendant of the early owners of the home, stated today that final decision regarding continuation of the work, for which there is a great need existent, would be reached. within a fow days at the meeting of the ‘Women's Council.

(Thix ix the third article by Mr. Bell setting forth the views of presidential candidates. Hix in- terviews with John W. Davis and President Coolidge were published in previous ixsues of The Star.) Extraordinary animation of mind and body, great and sincere cordial- ity, honesty not unmixed with shrewdness, a passion for politics, a natural bent for popular _oratory, an amazing _for- getfulness of his years and of him- self in the ve- hemence of his electioneer i n g — these are some of the peculiarities of Mr. La Follette, as I saw him. “Do you remem- ber,” I asked him, “the first impulse that moved you toward a_political career? Did that impulse result from some po- litical practice or social condition which offended your sense of justice My political career,” he replied, “began when I was elected district attorney of Dane County, Wis., at the age of 25, and continued when 1 was elected to Congress in 1884. ' “However, my public career might have ended With the end of my serv- jce in the House of Representatives in 1891, except for the fact that in’that vear and at that time I had my atten- tion directed in a terrible manner to a political practice and a social con- dition that offended my sense of jus- tice. “In 1891 Senator Sawyer attempted to bribe me to influence Judge Sie- becker in trying the Wisconsin treas- ury cases, which attracted nation- wide attention at the time. “My brother-in-law and former law partner, Robert G. Siebecker, was the trial judge, and Senator attempted to give me mone would influence the judge's decision in his favor. "The experience Wa most terrible in my life. It forced me to see clearly for the first time that the evils 1 had been fighting in the State and in Congress were not single, but were related to each other. They were part of a system. That system wag the organized cor- ruption of the American Government by and for the benefit of great in- terests. Calls Home State Clean. “In Wisconsin, my home State, to which T first directed my efforts, this corrupt influence has beem broken. When that was accomplished I en<| tered the United States Senate, and the purbose with which I set out in one of the purpose in public life.” | “Will you define sharply the indi- vidual entity of your party?’ “By my ‘party’ I presume is meant the progressive campaign of 1924, which Is the outgrowth of the pro- gressive movement in America, par- ticularly in the last decade. There is at this time no Progressive party. Whether there shall be one is for the American people to say, and they will say it by their votes in Novem- ber. “The Government at Washington has been for a quarter of a century controlled by small but powerful groups of interests acting together and controlling it for their own ben- efit. “In business each of these groups dictates the production and prices. In other words, the economic life of the Nation has fallen under the con- trol of monopolies. Scores Spech Privileges. “In political life these same monop- olies have secured control of Congress and of the executive departments, and have found encouragement in the courts. They have secured special privileges and have not scrupled to resort to the outright corrupting of public officials.” “What is the root trouble with the two old parties?” “The root trouble with the two old parties is that they are both subsery- jent to the political and economic power of the monopolies. The great monopolies that oppress the American people never could have come into ex- istence if the Republican and Demo- cratic parties, in the last 30 years] ever had enforced the laws vigor- ously. “Instead of being crushed, monopoly grew in power until in 1912 Woodrow Wilson said: “The trusts are’ our snas- ters now. Our government has been for the past few years under the con- trol of the heads of great allied cor- porations with special interests. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely con- trolled and dominate governments in the civilized world.’ Why G. 0. P. Was Ousted. «The Republicans had been hurled from power because of their betrayal of the American: people under Taft. The Demqcrats, promising to rid the country of monopolies and monopoly control, broke their promise and did the will of. the interests. In anger the people put back the Republicans, only o be mare shamefully betrayed by the Harding-Coolidge administration. Today the American government is more completely mastered by the monopoly interests than its was in 132 e ”“Whlch is the less satisfactory—the republicanism of Coolidge or the de- of Davis?" T e7een the devil and the deep sea, which does one choose? Coolidge does not represent the Republican party, if that party’s principles are those laid wn by Lincoln. d?"]‘he rank and file of the Republican party believes as Lincoln believed, but the rank and file has been betrayed by Coolidge and the party ‘bosses’ into the hands of the special interests. “John W. Davis is as remote from the principies of Democracy 8s ex- pressed by Thomas Jefferson as Coolidge is from Lincoln. “Who was the greater man—Hamil- ton or Jefferson?” Jefterson. Hamilton was not, indeed, 4 great man in the sense in which the word is properly used. He was a very able financier, and that is about all. Jeflernon Is Quoted. Jefterson a4 not believe in a n: tional debt. He said: ‘I am not for in- creasing the public debt on the prin- ciple that it is a public blessing. ] -disagree fundamentdlly with the jdeas of Hamilton. Here is a sample of ‘Hamilton's ideas on politics and gov- ernment: ‘All communities divide them- selves intd the few and the many. The first are rich and well born, and the other the mass of the people, who sel- dom judge or determine right. Contrast these ideas of the Hamilton school of political ‘thought with ‘the fol- lowing propositions of Jefferson: ‘Men are divided into two parties F5 those who fear and distrust thé’pedble and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of a higher class, and second, those who identify themselves with the ‘people, have confidence in them, cherisir and consider them as the imost honest and safe.’ “What, in your judgment, will be the @rift of governmental policy as popular ! “Government can endure only if its policy is directed to the promotion of the general social welfare. No govern- ment that fosters special interests by granting special privileges to those in- terests can long survive. Growth of Monopoliex. “Popular control of government means an end to special privilege. But In the meantime the privileges that have been secured during the control of Government by a small but powerful minority have resulted in the growth of trust and monopoly or- ganizations on a Nation-wide scale. “This may be seen in the history of the railroads, for instance. For nearly 40 years the people have been trying to compel them to perform the public service they are organized to per- form honestly and efficiently. But the greed of the railroad owners, con- cerned with their own enrichment | and not with the public interest, has compelled the public to place them under regulation by Government. Government regulation has not been successful hitherto because the rail- road owners have thwarted the pub- lic will by securing control of the agencies created to control them. “Since the public will must prevail the upshot of the conflict is obvious. The public will wrest control of gov- crnment from the railroad and other terests and proceed to carry out a Government policy i regard to rail- roads, public utilitics and monopolies in general that will enable the people to secure the services they need on the terms that are fair—namely, a maximum of service at a minimum of cost. f regulation should prove unsuc- cessful, the public will insist upon the extension of Government control. If this prove unsuccessful, the public will take the final step, and take the railroads, public utilities and monop- olies from private ownership. Remedy May Take Years. ‘The final step may perhaps require many years for its consumption. Such large undertakings require investiga- tion, careful planning, and legislative enactment. But the monopolists will do well not to deceive themselves that it is necessarily a long way off.” “Does the world need peace su- premely 2 “Unless world peace can be main- tained our civilization is in imminent |danger of destruction. The ideas prev alent among our politicians and edi- tors, who have so great an influence on public opinion, are the ideas of children, not of grown men with re- flective and responsible minds.” “What is the best way to get peace?” “The best, and. I believe, the only way to insure peace is offered in the progressive platform, which declares: ‘We favor firm treaty agreements with all nations to outlaw wars; to abolish conscription; to insure drastic reduction of land, air and naval arma. ments; to guarantee public referen- dums of war, except in case of actual invasion. “Do you favor international team Against Policy of Secrecy. “International understandings are essential if peace is to be preserved. But I favor an altogether different method of arriving at those under- standings from the one now prevail- ing. There should be no secrecy in conducting negotiations between countries. “The militarists of Europe could not maintain their policies for a year if the United States Government were to discuss those policies publicly. The American militarists would be ren- dered equally powerless by such a policy. “Open discussion, by tearing the veil, would reveal to the French peo- ple that their government is being used by the French-steel trust—the Comite des Forges—and the bankers who own it, in just the same way that J. P. Morgan uses the American Government.” “Do you consider the League of Nations a peril?” “In its present form, and with its avowed objects. the League of Na- tions is an immediate peril to all the people of the world. An integral part of the infamous treaty of Versailles, a treaty conceived in violation of the armistice agreement, it was signed under coercion of blockade and the threat of invasion. “The League of Nations is a mere device to guarantee to the benefici- aries of this iniquitous treaty the plunder they acquired as a result of the great war. Sees America Embroiled. “From the American point of view, if the United States became a party to it, we should be liable to be called upon at any time to protect England in her grasp on Indfa and Egypt, Mesopotamia and Africa. We should be called upon equally to protect France in her held on Syria and Mo- rocco and her policy of suicidal coercion toward Germany." “Do_you think protective tariffs have come to stay?
