McAdoo Will Support Davis in Campaign Third Party Leader Says to Accept Commoner’s Brother Would Be “Playing Politics.” Hy International Xeni Service. Washington, July 12.—Senator Rob ert M. La Follette, republican of Wis consin has refused definitely to ac cept the suggestion that he select Charles W. Bryan, democratic vice presidential nominee, as running rnnte in his Independent race for the White House, It was learned today. La Follette was said to feel that the selection of Bryan would lead to the belief that his campaign was a politi cal movement, and that he was play ing Into the hands of the democratic party in the hope that should the election he thrown into congress, Bryan might be elected to the White House. By International News Service. New York, July 12.—William Gibbs McAdoo today broke his silence on po litical matters, styled John W. Davis as a "progressive” and urged his fol lowers to support him in the coming , presidential election. Admitting that there had been some doubt as to Davis' progresslv ism because of his association with "big banking houses and corporate Interests,” McAdoo said that such doubts were unjustified. A lawyer, he declared, Is to be no more judged by his clients than a physician by his patients. Sails for Europe. McAdoo's statement was given out by him at the dock just before he sailed for Europe. "Mr. Davis and I have been friends for 12 years, and I had the pleasure of discussing the political situation with him yesterday,” McAdoo said. “Tho great body of progressive demo crats who supported me so strongly in the convention have been anxious to know what niy attitude was to ward Mr. Davis' candidacy, and my visit was for the purpose of learning from Mr. Davis direct, his views on Important issues before the country.” Satisfied. "I am satisfied he is In full accord with the progressive program out lined In the democratic platform. "The Influence and power of these progressive forces must not be dis sipated by dissension between various political movements. They must rather he consolidated and used like an Irresistible battering ram on that party which offers the best instru mentality of service to the people. Clearly, there is no progress In the republican party; clearly, there is progress in the democratic party. "I shall therefore, give the Davls Bryan ticket my cordial support and shall take part in the campaign on my return early in September.” Bark From Canal Zonp.

By Herbert Monroe and Helen Dale Linch AT CASTLE HOTEL 16th and .(ones Sts Coma and Bring Your Friands ■ ■ - - -.,L Arguments Over New Movements Federated Churches and D. A. R. Disagree on Methods to End All Warfare. By H. K. REYNOLDS. Intrmiitional Sown Stuff t'orrcMmiKtrnt. Washington, July 13.—Warfare has broken out here between the fedt'lal council of churches and the Daugh ters of the American Revolution over the methods adopted by the former In its campaign to outlaw war and establish lasting peace throughout the world. The seed of the trouble originated in Kurope. It Is the socalled “Youth Movement.'' which has taken a strong grip In many European countries and Is said to he spreading in the United States. This "youth movement," Accord ing to Dr. Chauneey W. Goodrich, American representative of the cen tral bureau for the relief of the evangelical churches of Europe, is “filled with the ferment of a new age, demanding Inspiring Christian leader* ship,” and with “multitudes saddened and disillusioned by war, wistful as never before for the things which only religion can give." The movement offers, says Dr. Goodrich, a “strategic point at which to help strengthen the threatened forces of Protestatism In these days of the remaking of Europe for American churches." Concerning this same "youth move ment." Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, president of tho Daughters of the American Revolution, declares: "Old World Evil." "It Is the most dastardy of all the old world evils that has been brought to our shores. It aims, so It Is de clared, at the very heart of our most sacred social and moral foundations and will. If promulgated In our secondary schools and colleges, aim to destroy the moral fiber of our girls and boys." Mrs. Cook classes the hackers of the "youth movement” with the "Pacifists.” and she has sent a warn ing to all the state regents of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion against the socalled "peace societies,” which, she says, "In very many Instances are being dominated by those who are knowingly and de liberately dlsoyal to our government and political Institutions.” As the head of the largest "patri otic body of women In America," Mrs. Cook says that she believes it her duty to “fully acquaint the organiza tion's entire membership with the menace of our most sacred obliga tions to home and country which is being promulgated In the seditious teachings of the organized groups that are endeavoring to have their mem bers take 'the slackers’ oath,' or the 'disloyalty oath,” never to assist in any war: never to knit a sock, roll a bandage, nurse a wounded soldier, or buy a bond to help win the war.' " Hits Pacifists. "Pacifist groups In America have waxed strong because of their sen timental appeals to women and wo men's organization," says Mrs. Cook. "Par-reaching propaganda societies, with salaried executives of persuasive oratory hut twisted vision, have en deavored to introduce their specious arguments by letter, pamphlet and word of mouth throughout the length I -'" IT.. i ii Scenario Writer Goes to Paris for Divorce fluids Bergere scenario writer and wife of tieorge Fitzinaurice, moving picture director, as she sailed from New York on the Leviathan for Paris the other day with the avowed pur pose of divorce. and breadth of our land.
