Sullivan, head of the brokerage Inn of David W. Sullivan & Co. of Ws city and Washington, D. C.v Sullivan's confession, made to Unitid States Commissioner Gilchrist, covin many typewritten pages containing ftS strange a narrative of the"downfall •f a previously respectable firm driv- . to by business reverses Into' dealing Kitb the master crooks as has ever been incorporated in 'the proceedings ft the court. How a substantial part of the $2,- *>0,000 in securities stolen for the two crooks within a year and a half were peddle*! in small lots at one-fourth of their value: how these securities were pat up by the purchasers as collateral lor loans; how. to conceal the trans- , ictions from the honest cashiers and Clerks in the brokerage offices, fake pirchases of stocks, bought under fictitious name!, were recorded In the books of Sullivan & Co.. and how the securities themselves changed hands ta barrooms, on street corners and in hotel rooms in various cities, all form A; part of the amazing tale. Sullivan's first meeting with Ara- Itein and Cohen, he said, was In the for of the Bretton Hall hotel, on the flight of October 11, 1919, and Cohen •let him three days later ID Washington, where he turned over to him a tiatch of securities, of a market value •f $45,000, which Sullivan pledged as \. <tt>llateral in the Rlggs National tpank at Washington for a loon of $ *20,000. Sullivan told of other meetings with Oolien. and occasionally with Cohen and Arnstein in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston and Hobofeen, at each of which he received from Cohen stolen securities, which he immediately pledged as collateral for " loans with banks. All through his testimony Sullivan referred to Willand W. Easterday, ostensibly manager of ::#D]]ivan,& Co. • Through the ingenious manner In '•ijflhieh the stolen securities were disposed of as collateral for loans, it is believed by District Attorney Swann that many brokerage houses and (Minks throughout this country and Canada have almost $2,000,000 worth , „ Of stolen securities on hand, but they •re unaware of the fact, because they ; vogfractically are "buried."

ALLIES ABE IN ACCORD Uoyd George Says Alt Are Pleased Over Partey. Telle Houae of Commons There t« Nl Difference of Opinion as to S8£' :; forcement of Treaty. London, May 1.--Premier Lloyd Gt*orgef speaking in the house of commons on the subject of the recent allied conference at San Itemo, said that before tlie conference there had been some misunderstandings, "serious enough'in themselves, but made grave by deliberate fomenting on the part of very reckless' persons. ~ "But," he continued, "I am glad" to say that the day is once more clear. So far as I can see, everyone is satisfied at what happened at San Remo." The premier declared the conference had been the most remarkable one in every respect held since the armistice. There never had been such a conference as regarded satisfaction with the agreement by all the parties concerned, or the happiness which had bpen brought about, he said. The conference, declared the premier, dispelled all suspicion that the treaty of Versailles was net to be en forced. Mr. Lloyd George said there ha<? been no difference of opinion betweei the allies as to enforcement of tl« treaty. There was no difference of opinio* on disarmament, he said, but when It came to ordering disarmament ther« was no one in Germany who seemed to have the power to enforce the decree, and that was one of the greatest difficulties the allies had to face. "Let the German minister come tc Spa with some definite proposal regarding the sum she can pay and th€ method by which she proposes to pay, or any other suggestion for the liquidation of her liability."

PENK WISE, POUflO FOOUSH While Country Faces Crisis, Many People Have Turned Gamblers and Wasters--Opposes Bonus and n Increased Pension* ":.f' How York, May 3.--The government of the ^Tnited States "is deadlocked against itself, a government of obstruction," Assistant Secretafy Le£- flngwell of the treasury declared In a speech before the Academy of Political science. failure of the government to deal In a constructive way with any one of the vital national problems he attributed largely to the fact that the government is "divided against itself." "It Is at least questionable," Mr. Le^- fingwell continued, "whether the progress of reaction would have been so complete or so disastrous if our Institutions had not given this country, during the most critical period of the world's history, a government divided against itself,- and therefore incapable of effective leadership in national or International affairs. "At this most critical moment In the history of Europe, when financial and economic stake in Europe's affairs is so great that disaster there could# mean only disaster here, many of oar own people have turned gamblers and wasters. For plain living and high thinking we hare substituted wasting and bickering. We enjoy high living, while we grumble at the high cost of living." There Is only one remedy, Mr. Leffingwell said. The "nation must get together, stop bickering and face -the critical situation which confronts the world as we should a foreign war." Government expenditures "must be cut to the quick," he "said, and "we must adjure bonuses and " realize promptly on all salable war assets, Including ships, applying the proceeds to the war debt." He argued for a national budget "with teeth in it." Mr. Leffingwelf- assailed the government's administrative policy as "penny wise and pound foolish," reciting how "congress had struggled to effect economies at the expense of efficient administration while it takes time to add $65,000,000 to Civil war pensions." "Instead of telling the people frankly and boldly," he said, "that prices ire high because they are wasting, we fix prices and prosecute profiteers Irt order that the people may buy more and pay less. Instead of telling the young men who were drafted to fight the war, and who came back better and stronger and more fit to fight .their own battles than they ever were before, to go to work and save their money and look out for themselves as any self-respecting man should, we listen complacently to their organized demands for a bonus, euphemistically called 'adjusted compensation.'" Senator Edge told the convention that "there is too much government In business and not enough business In government" POLES CAPTURE 15,000 REDS Resistance of Bolshevikl Broken In Southern Ukrainia--Advance Coft* . tinues Along Dniester.

T- ' Washington, April 30.--Republican members of the house ways and means committee virtually decided to include in their soldier relief program a plan of paid-up insurance, Its value to increase annually by compounded Inter* est, and on which loans could be obtained from any post office. With this addition, ex-service men might elect any one of the five following plans included in the Republican program:' f ' " • A cash bonus of |L25 a day for each day of service. • Aid in buying' farm land, to be reclaimed by the government. Aid in buying city homest , - Aid-In their education; lit, Insurance. To popularize the last four "plans, the Republicans propose to allow $1.75 a day for each day of service, instead of the $1.25 cash bonus as the basis for confuting aid. The Insurance plan was said by committeemen to be the most attractive. The average period of service for world war veterans was 400 days, they said, explaining that under the Insurance plan the average veteran could, receive a paid-up insurance policy of $1,857, payable to him in cash at the end of *20 years, or immediately to his heirs in the event of death. The loan value of the Insurance would not accrue uqtil the end of the third year the plan had been in force, and at that time" an ex-service man with a record of 400 days* service would be entitled to a loan of $551. This would be the cash value of his certificate" at that time at 5 per cent interest compounded annually. Similarly, the veterans of 100 days would be entitled to a paid-up 20- year endowment insurance of $464, with a cash surrender or loan value of $137 In three years; the 200-day veteran to insurance of $928, with a loan value of $275; the 800-day veteran to insurance of $1,392, with a loan value of $413, and the 500-day veteran to Insurance of $2^81, with a loan value of AMERICANS 'ARE PROTECTED U. 8.

Principles for which the church .shonld stand were set forth In the address. A-reactionary spirit in the church wW cause it to lose its leadership In the "forward moving world," the bishop declared. "Foundations are disturbed. Economic, social and Industrial conditions are volcanic. They go far beneath mere questions of wages, hours and profits," the bishop said. "They reach the roots of organized life, the basis of government itself." Ettterywhere free institutions are threatened. The church, must not fail in the effort to preserve them. We cannot give sympathy or approval to bolshevism, whether of the red-handed mob, or of the soft-handed sentimentalist, to anarchy whether of the street or of the chair. 'Between the destructive radical and the unyielding reactionary; between the anarchist, the bomb-thrower, the red terror on one hand, and the rock-ribbed contender for special privilege, feudal brutality and domination of wealth on the other; between wild radicalism and inhuman standpatlsm; between autocracy at the top and anarchy at the bottom; hetween tyranny of wealth and tyranny of strength, the church of Jesus Christ must this day hold a steady ooursp, -speak in clear tones and minister to order, stability and righteousness.
