Visit of Duchess to U. S. Causes Much Speculation In Paris
Americans Are Blamed for Finan¬ cially Siq)porting Monarchistic Scheme
IGNORANCE lOT^ERtCANS LAUGHED AT IN P>
PARIS, a T71i.)-T\KJ{sh of Grand Duchess Cyril to thc Unj|f6d States has caused much discussion and specula¬ tion in internationdlly wCll-informed circles here. Thc Grand/Duchess has received assurance fr<*i influential circles in the United Stats of. financial assistance for Grand Dul* Cyril, it was stated here today. MoneyVor the "Rus¬ sian Relief Fund," an orgaflfeation con¬ trolled by Russian monarchist, cording to assertions made here, »S|»dy hecn raised in the United States. ^*^ Much surprise is expressed at thc case with which prominent members .. American society^ lend themselves as tools tb this plot of the Russian Mon¬ archists of whose ramifications and political, intrigues they arc unaware. This is attributed to the weakness which has become almost proverbial, which Americans display toward European nobility, enabling many political and even low grade adventurers to gain accpss to the highest American cirdcst. and ex¬ ploit them unscrupulously, for their po¬ litical and financial ends.
The fact that bearers of best names America will surround the Grand Duchess upon her arrival and will, for a handshake, lend their influence - and money to aid a dangerous political scheme is considered as a manifesta¬ tion of the ignorance and light-heart- ¦ edness which Americans display in deal¬ ing with European political affairs. - The American public docs not seem to be aware of the fact that the claim of the Grand Duke Cyril to the Russian throne is not only_ disputed by the Grand Duke Nikolavitch, but that the num¬ ber of his followers is extremely limited. According to, the <beliei of these who have followed the Russian monarchist ^..^movemcnt closely during the last few yiars. Grand Diuke Cyril himself is a tool in an intricate international politi¬ cal scheme which has curiously enough the sympathy of the Bolshevik Govern¬ ment, the Pope and the Jesuitic order. It was not an accident that the only power to recognize the Grand Duke Cyril's claim to the Russian throne was the Vatican. The Pope has done not because he is in favor of thc establishment of the Czaristic. rule in Russia but because the proclamation of Grand Duke Cyril of Russia has split the Russian moinarcjhistic ranks thus reducing the possibility of the return of the Czaristic rule in Russia. ' The Vatican realizes that in case Grand Duke Cyril's plan should succeed, he would not be recognized by the fol¬ lowers- of the Greek Orthodox Church as the supreme head, as' according to the geneology of the Romanoffs he is not entitled to succession to the Czarist throne. According to the views held by the Greek Orthodox Church, only the legitimate heir to the throne is recog¬ nized as the head of the Greek Orthodox Church.
The Pope wants to ibe the only and supreme religious ruler of the Christian church of the world, and he prefers either the present situation or the .elec¬ tion of a man who, while' changing Russia into a monarchy again,, would fail to become the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. It is therefore not been unfriendly. A papal mission surprising that relations between Rome and Moscow as it is known, have not some time ago was sent into Russia. The policy of the Vatican in this regard has been inspired by the Jesuit order and its powerful head, liado-Trofsky. It is this order with it9 four hundred branches in every part of the world, that has prompted- the amibiguous policy '(.Concluded on page 4)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. —The pro¬ visions of the Palestine Mandate of the of Nations regarding the estab¬ lishment of a Jewish  National i Home given in the preamble of the treaty with   Great  Britain  signed  in  London today, according to a statement issued by, the State Department today.     The scope of the treaty, however, is limited to defining the rights of the American Government and its citizens in Palestine and  does not touch  further, upon thd subject of the Jewish National Home. The treaty has been under negotia- ans for more than two years, the de¬ lay in signing it, it is understood, being due principally to the changes in  the British Government.
The treaty, in its principal provisions, is similar to the treaty already con¬ cluded with France regarding Syria and Lebanon, which has entered into effect and which provides that the United States and_it» nationals shall enjoy all rights and privileges assured to the states who are members of the League of Nations. The treaty also that, subject to the provisions oi local law for the maintenance of publjc order and public morals, nations ofjth^ United States will be pcrmtttfcKo'establish and maintain educatioi^al, philanthropic and religious institutions.
The saatcment authorized by thc State Department with regard to the signing of thc treaty reads as follows:     ,
"It will be recalled that the territory of Palestine is now being administered by Great Britain, pursuant to the terms of a mandate approved by the League of Nations, .which entered into force on Sept. 29. 1923.
"The treaty between the United States and Great Britain in its principal pro¬ visions is similar to thc treaty already concluded by this Government with France with respect to the mandate for Syria and the Lebanon, which has entered into effect. The Palestine mandate treaty provides that the United States and its nationals shall enjojr in the mandate territory all the rights and privi¬ leges assured to States members of the League of Nations under the terms- of the mandate. It also provides that, sul)ject to thc provisions of local law for. the maintenance of public order and public morals, nationals United States will be permitted freely to establish and maintain educational, philanthropic and religious institutions. "In the preamble to the treaty, which includes the text of the mandate itself, reference is made to the fact that the United States of America, by partici¬ pating in the war against Germany, con¬ tributed to her defeat and to the defeat of her allies in the territories transferred by them. In this connection it will le recalled that Turkey, under the Treaty of Lausanne of July 24, 1923, renounces all right and title over territories situated outside the frontiers laid down in that treaty. This renunciation included the territory covered by the Palestine man¬ date."

Ahd the Secret Service men at Washing¬ ton will tell you that Gus Karger, whom tiiey knew as well as the men they were assigned to, was the same generous, whole-souled, noble, intensely human being at all times and with alf people. j

Accidental Criminals Should Get A Chance, Says Prosecutor King
Others Should Be Locked Up for Protection of Society, He De¬ clares in Address to Tem¬ ple Brotherhood
One great class of criminals, those who are not naturally inclined that way but who violate laws through cident or force of necessity, could be eliminated by a general, every day prac¬ tice of the virtues of frinedship, fellow- Ship and brotherhood, Prosecuting At¬ torney John R. King said last Tuesday
ight in an address before the Brother¬ hood of Temple Israel.
It is hard to realize that Gus Karger no more; for, as the New York fVorld pointed out in an editorial on his pass¬ ing, he was as much a part of Wash¬ ington as the White House or the Capi¬ tol building. Both ^public men and correspondents looked on him as a leader of his profession. High oflicials came to him for advice, and thc news¬ paper corps always turned to him to act as their spokesman. A Washing¬ ton correspondent for almost a quarter century, Gus Karger was the inti- friend and confidant of Presidents and other high officials, and exerted a profound influence upon public life through the counsel he was always calleH upon to render.
doubtful if there was another man who knew American politics so well, or who was so penetrating and intel¬ ligent an interpreter thereof as Gus. Karger. And .certainly .^raong ,-.thiK Washington correspondents he occupied a unique and honored position, wliile the Post of Washington respondent is the goal toward which every newspaperman aspires and the recognized award which the newspaper gives to its ablest and most trusted porters, it often serves as a stepping- off place from the profession of journal¬ ism to some other employment- where the financial rewards are much greater ! in proportion to one's ability. t with Gus Karger. He dedi¬ cated his life to his profession and he served it with a passionate zeal and industry.. He loved his newspaper work with an intensity, sincerity, and honesty which is rarely observed in any profes¬ sion these days; and nothing could make him desert it. High public posts were iften offered him in recognition of his services to the nation, but he was never tempted to foresake his typewriter. He preferred serving in the background, all good and true newspapermen He was offered fanciful salaries go into Ijusiness, but to all such offers he turned a deaf ear.    His newspaper
his life, and he died practically harness.
Could Not Tempt Him
For over twenty years he was the Washington correspondent of the Cin- iti Times-Star, one of the important papers of the Middle West. Great hietropolitan dailies, recognizing his ability, could never tempt him to leave lis paper. Newspaper syndicates offered lim marvellous opportunities to write lis pointed Washington comment for lundrcds of papers, rather than for the Times-Star alone. Magazines made him tempting offers, offers which caused bany another noted correspondent to Uescrt the game for good.
It not Gus Karger. "Why, I .wouldn't quit the Times-Star for any pmount of money," he once told me in xliscussing these things, "They pay,me I' good salary, morc than enough ive .on comfortably. ^ They're all my friends. ,-\Vhat do^ I "care about syndi S^, or BiggefpagcFs; or jnieazines? I don't need any more money, anyhow, and there isn't enough money in the mint to make me, desert my friends' the Times-Star."
That was Gus Karger.    Loyalty and friendship meant more to hini than any¬ thing else; and that is why thousands his profession and out mourned him when he made his final edition.
Courageous, honest, sincere, Gus Kar¬ ger, although one of the stalwarts of the "" ^ jblican party and for many years one of its guiding minds, would 1 permit his personal feelings to color his correspondence. His was a rugged and undeviating honesty; his newspaper work was sacred to him, and he wrote unflinchinly of facts as he saw them. The men hit by his sharp and penetrating articles often became his closest friends, for there was nothing malicious or per¬ sonal in his writings, — and they were always flavored by a happy wit. A true journalist, he sought always for the truth and, without fear or .if avor, set down his findings. Thus we see the New York IVorl^, the most militant Democratic organ in the United States, one of the {Concluded on page. 4)

"Those who victim   of   accident   or   drcumstai should be given a chance this side of thc prison walls," he declared, "but I be¬ lieve the other class should be sent to the penitentiary and kept there for the protection  of  society."
"In many cases,"'the prosecutor said, "influential friends come to the rescue after the crime has been committed. Their services would be of much greater value if they would practice friendship earlier and aid the person in trouble, saving him from committing the crime," he said. "In that way we can feel that thc word brotherhood amounts to something."
In this connection he paid a tribute to "Uncle" Joe Schonthal, a member of the brotherhood, and told of the numbers of young men who have been released from prosecution in his care, had more Uncle Joes in the world the word friendship would be written deep in every man's heart," he said, religion is my religion and if ,he doesn't Heaven I don't want to go." short talk which opened the first winter meeting of the brotherhood.

The meeting which was presided over by Robert Lazarus, president of the Brotherhood, was unusually well-at¬ tended ahd the smiling faces to be seen on all sides were good evidences of the joy experienced by those present. The musical program was presented by the Jeffrey Quartet which received one ova¬ tion after another. If this first meet¬ ing of the Bryden Road Temple Brotherhood is ominous of the future, this organization is destined to become a vital force in the life of the congre¬ gation.
Sec'y J. J. Davis Proposes Changes In Immigration Law
In His Annual Report Secretary
of Labor Advocates Quota for
American   Countries   and
Registration of Aliens
SAYS LAW MUST NOT
KEEP FAMILIES APART
WASHINGTON, (J. T. A.)-Three ilicnt changes in immigration practice •e suggested by Secretary of Labor Davis in the annual report of the Labor Department. The first would apply to citizens of Canada, Mexico and South' American countries. The second would allow temporary in¬ case in the admission of immigrants I times of established and particularized labor shortage in thc United States and permit administrative restriction of all immigration under existing legal limits times of unemployment. The third major proposal would require the reg¬ istration and enrollment of all those ad¬ mitted to the country. , . In presenting his immigration recom¬ mendations, Mr. Davis cites statistics showing that w4iile the present law allows quota immigration into the United States of only 164,000 persons a year from countries exclusive of North. Amer- .ica non-quota provisions affecting rela¬ tives of aliens already in the United States, and foreigners aoming under professional, educational and commercial status classifications, make it possible for a much .greater number of aliens to enter the country. The present large inflow of immigrants from Canada and Mexico, unrestricted by the law so far as native citizens of those countries are concerned, is putting a premium, says Mr. Davis, on "bootlegging of.aliens."
"We have taken steps toward selec-- ' tive immigration iii the act of 1924," Secretary   Davis   said   in   summarizing
1' his departmental recommendations. "We - should go tht whole way and malce sure that all applicants for admission are qualified before they leave their homes; We should make our quota law ap¬ plicable to Canada, Mexico and Central, and South America,'thus closing a.door- which now invites the activities of the smuggler of aliens. We should provide for thc admission, regardless of quota limitation, of farmers and skilled and unskilled laborers needed in the United States when labor of like kind can¬ not be found unemployed in this country, and when no strike, or lockout exists (Is in the industry which needs such labor. To balance this the Pres¬ ident should be given power to prohibit or further limit immigration whenever unemployment in this country' makes such suspension desirable.
We should proceed to humanize our immigration laws wherever that is pos¬ sible. Our laws should not operate keep members of families apart. Fur¬ ther, we need a complete revision and codification of our naturalization laws. To do this I would provide for the an¬ nual enrollment of our alien population and through this enrollment would pro¬ vide means of educating every alien in American customs, our language, our laws and our institutions. It is true that this enrollment plan would enable' us to know the alien who is here in violation of our laws. We sihouttd know them. This plan is probably the only available means of putting an end to the scandalous bootlegging of aliens through our seaports and over our borders."
WASHINGTON, (J. T. A.) —In his message to Congress, President Coolidge touching upon the question of immigra¬ tion, stated: "I should like to see the administrative features of this law ren¬ dered a little more humane for the pur¬ pose of permitting those already here a greater latitude in securing admission of members of their own families. But I believe this law in principle is nec¬ essary and sound and destined to in¬ crease greatly tlie public welfare. We must maintain our own economic posi¬ tion, we must defend our own_ national
itegrity.
