U.S.-BRITISH TIE STRAINED BY JCIDENT ' President Asked for, and Didn't Get, Recall of Unacceptable Secretary of Lord Gray, Says Lawrence. disturbedTelations (Copyrtgrht. 1920, by The Palladium) BY DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON. Feb. 21 These are tragic days In internatibnal affairs. But the most pitiable part is the way European powers are beginning to flout the president of the United States. The Adriatic question Is one

of a chain of incidents which may or

may not be the outgrowth of the controversy between the executive and legislative branches ' of our government But I am able to present in this article the facts about a sensational episode in diplomacy which may hed some light on the relations be

tween Viscount Grey and President Wilson and may explain the underfe. tone of irritation which some people have professed to see recently in ' Anglo-American relations. Failed To Get Recall. For the fact is that President Wilson asked for the recall of Major C. K. Crauford Stuart, personal secretary of Viscount Grey, and failed to HSet his wish. To these persons who 'have believed that Mr. Wilson need .only nod his head and the British will .do his bidding the incident reveals a surprisingly uncompromising attitude on the part of Lord Grey, which must have given President Wilson offense. No one but the president can say whether It had anything to do with the fact that Lord Grey was not received at the white house. Doubtless the president's physicians prevented the reception. But people familiar with what happened are sur

mising that the controversy over

Major Stuarts status did

bassy and the white house. Made Derogatory Remarks. It was more than a year ago when Major Stuart first made remarks on social occasions which were derogatory to the president of the United States. He was at the time military secretary for Lord Reading, head of the British war mission in tho United States. Secretary Lansing was so disturbed by Major Stuart's behavior that he asked that. Major Stuart be sent home, as he was persona non grata to the American government. Major Stuart himself appealed to Secretary Lansing to be permitted to stay, saying the 6tories were untrue. Lord Reading was soon to depart anyway, and Major

Stuart went home with him just be

gan. Secretary Lansing had acted on his own initiative in the matter and thought, he had made his views sufficiently known to the British government, when to his surprise the same Major Stuart came back to the United States as the personal secretary of Viscount Grey. The very first time the distinguish

ed British statesman visited the de

partment of state, he was apprised of the previous incident concerning his personal secretary, which it was supposed he had learned from the British

council has not as yet arrived at the

British capital, says "pertlnax" politi-" cal editor of the Echo De Paris. "In order to properly follow the course of events" he writes, "it should be said that the note received by the council from President Wilson on Feb. 13 was in answer to a statement sent to the state department in Washington on January 24 by Earl Curson, British Secretary of state for foreign affairs. "Hugh C. Wallace, American ambassador to France, attended meetings of the supreme council in this city last month and in the name of his government expressed formal reservation in regard to the demand sent to Belgrade on Jan. 20. On that occasion, speaking as much in regard to Turkey as the Adriatic, he said: "You are going much too far and much too fast. President Wilson cannot folow you. Tried to Calm President "Earl Curzon then drafting the note, which was intended to calm Mr. Wilson's anxiety, assure him that greatest deference would be shown his views, and that Ambassador Wallace would be kept fully informed. Apparently after three weeks of patient waiting President Wilson felt these soft words wou'dl not be enough. It can thus be seen the note of Feb. 13, waas not a 'bolt of blue.'

able policy relative to Turkish affairs.

gotiations will take such a turn that the United States would be forced to consider whether it could become a pary to the treaty of Versailles. The reply may go forward today.

LETTER, TO BE READ TO CATHOLIC SUNDAY, PLEADS FOR UNITY

Approximately 4,000 Richmond persons will hear an appeal for an understanding between labor and capital, because "each needs the other" and "are bound by mutual obligations, not simply by mutual interests or needs," In the two Roman Catholic churches of the city Sunday. It will also be read in other Catholic churches of the United States. The appeal is made in a pastoral letter of the Roman Catholic archbishops and bishops of the United States to the clergy and laity. Besides the labor question it deals with other vital topics of the day. It Is the first of its kind in 35 years. "The right of labor to a living wage, with decent maintenance for the present and provision for the future, is recognized generally," the letter says. "The right of capital to a fair day's work and for a fair day's pay is equally plain," it continues. , "We are confident the good sense of our people will find a way out of the present situation. "America's greatest opportunity must not be sacrificed to selfish aims or partisan interests. We made war upon greed and selfish ambition. We shall not let them triumph within our herders." Condemns Pleasure Craze The letter also condemns the "craze

for pleasure." saying that a people that lives on excitement and sensation soon will lose its moral fiber. It also

says that neither custom nor fashion can justify sin. Beside making an appeal for an understanding between labor and capital, the letter appeals for the protection of the immigrants from influences which would make them enemies of law, order and religion. The laxity of the divorce laws in the United States i3 also scored in the letter, which says: "The Catholic church does not sanction divorce In the absolute sense which permits either party to remarry during the lifetime of the other. The ease and frequency with which divorce of this kind is granted make it a national scandal."

Kolchak Shot to Prevent Escape Says Tale of His Last Hours

(By Associated Press) PEKIN, Feb. 17 Details of the capture of Admiral Alexander B. Kolchak, former head of the All-Russian

government in Siberia, who was executed by social revolutionists in Irkitsk on Feb. 7, have been learned through the receipt of a telegram by Itear Admiral Michael Smirnov, Minister of Marine in the Kolchak cabinet, who a short time ago reached the city. Czech forces guarding Kolchak evidently were induced to surrender him in order that their evacuation of Irkutsk might be facilitated. General Janin, commander of the

Czech forces in Siberia was under orders from the allies to protect Kolchak and convey him to a place of safety. When Kolchak, following the fall of Tomsk to he Bolshevik!, reached Nizhne Udinsk, northeast of Irkutsk, he placed himself under the protection of the Czechs. With him were 48 officers and civilians including Former Premier Pepeliayeff. As immediate withdrawal from that district was imperative the Kolchak party was placed In a car attached to a train of Czecho soldiers going toward Irkutsk.

fBr Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Railroad administration estimates place the net cost of the government of the federal control of the railroads at $636,000,000.

While the compromise bill wac being read, members began gathering on the floor and a roll call showed 221 present. The compromise bill. Representative EFch asserted, was the original house bill except "one proposition" by which a rate basis is fixed with earnings in excess of 6 percent on railroad valuation, being divided between the arning carrier and the government for the latter to use for weak roads. Mr. Esch denied that the eovernment under the compromise bill guaranteed a return of 5 per cent on railroad investment. He explained that the guarantee was on actual value.

Referring to the labor provision, Mr. Esch declared that the measure contained "nothing about compulsory putting into effect of decisions"of the labor boards, but that "it relies on public opinion, which is greater than any legislative decree. Anti-strike legislation, he said, was attemptaed in the original bill, but similar laws in foreign countries had been failures as far as preventing strikes. All railway labor, Mr. Ehch continued, is not opposed to the bill. The method provided for settling disputes, he asserted, is "just and fair." and the more it is studied, the more supporters it wins. Return Order Final. President Wilson's order, directing the return of the roads to their owners March 1, "is a completed act," which is not revokable," Mr. Esch declared. Without this bill then, he concluded, "there will be no legislation to enable the roads to live." To assure disposition of the Mil today, the house met an hour earlier than customary. Five hours having been allotted to debate, and with a teries of roll calls in sight, the possibility of an early decision was blocked. . Democrats Against It. In addition to a majority of the Democratic members lined un ap,",-"t the bill, largely because of the financial provisions, there were members on both sides ready to attack the bill because of the objections of organized labor. Several members were desirous of sending the bill back to conference under instruction to eliminate objectionable provisions, but the parliamentary situation was to be a deciding factor in the opposition's line up. Supporters of the bill were confident of its approval by a substantial majority, but its opponents were willing only to concede a clase vote. The discussion promised to grow

ocrimonlous in view of recent charges made in debate that highly paid lobbies representing both investors and railroad employes had been active here for months attempting to Influence the legislation. The old question of government ownership also was expected to provoke clashes, as organized labor has been accused of fighting the return cf the roads which the bill will control.
