Col. Jaaon S. Joy as liaison officer'' between the Veterans* Bureau and the American Red Cross1 wag announced by the Red Cross tlday. The announcement came ' as the result of conference between John Barton Payne, chairman of the central committee of the American Red Cross, and Col. Charles R. Forbes, director of the United States Vet erans' Bureau, on methods of strengthening the co-operation be tween the two organizations to meet the ever-growing problem of assist ing disabled former service men. A complete and definite understand ing as to the scope, nature and rela tion of Red Cross work in the tios pitals and offices of the government concerned with the welfare of dis abled former service men will be worked out by Lieut. Col. Joy, in co operation with Col. Forbes. President Harding has given his unqualified approval of the efforts of the Veterans' Bureau and the Red Cross to increase the effectiveness Of their co-operation. Assistance to disabled former serv ice men, supplemental to that pro vided by the government since the close of the world war, has been re garded by the Red Cross as its high est obligation. Proportionately with the growth of this problem this serv ile of the Red Cross has expanded, until it is being maintained at a cost of $10,000.?M)0 annually and last year resulted in assistance in one form or another to 1,500.000 veterans and their families. Financial aid for the man and his family, clothing, food and countless other services are provided by the Red Cross. OPERA HOUSE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN CAPITAL John C. Ruby Tells of Plans to Get ? Most Beautiful" Building " for This City. A camparg 11 for "(he most beautiful opera house in the world," built properly for opera, drama, concerts, lectures, public meetings, pageants, inaugural and other balls, etc.," to be located in Wa^ington, has been launched by John C. Ruby of 1736 F street northwest. Mr. Ruby has just returned from an eighteen-month trip through &gypt, Ceylon, India, China, the Philippines. Japan and Honolulu. "I recollect," he said today, "attending opera in Funchal many years ago. Surely, if that island seaport, with perhaps 50,000 Portuguese and Spanish folk, can have an opera house and opera, the nation's home town can have one in the next ten years." . Contributions from all parts of the United States and its possessions are necessary, Mr. Ruby declared, and he expressed the opinion that "several of our multi-millionaires will sub scribe $1,000,000 each." All subscrip tions are to be sent to the Riggs Na tional Bank of Washington for credit of "the national academy of music and drama." and, he continued, when a "very large nest egg has been gathered" the people must urge their congressmen to vote aid for the na tional opera house. The propose^ building "must be near the White House as practical, and it must face Lafayete Park," Mr. Ruby said. The structure is to have a seating capacity of 3.500. a grand ; ballroom, a library, writing room, [restaurant with moderate prices, a school for instruction in the arts of singing, acting and dancing and a wide balcony on the front facade, wide enough for hundreds to stretch themselves between the acts. Mr. kub>"^ plan is to have opera presented in English by American singers during December, January and February, and the remainder of the year to bring ta Washington vari ous types of plays and amusements. mo that "every man and woman can find entertainment and diversion at their theater." | A trip to New York within the next I few days is planned. Mr. Ruby said, to try to get "some great big sub ! scriptions from wealthy men and j women there." CHARGES SLAYING OF 64. Statement That British Deliberate ly Smothered Moplah Captives. Charges that the sixty-four Moplah 'captives reported in dispatches from I India last week to have suffocated 'in a railroad car in which they were | being transferred to a place of deten tion "were deliberately murdered with ! poison gas" by British troops were made by Seilendran Ghose, director of the American commission to pro mote self-government in India, in a statement issued here yesterday. "These natives were in a box car load of more than a hundred." the statement said. "After they had been locked in the car. British troops, ac cording to information I have re ceived, threw gas bombs, and when the train reached its destination, near i ly two days later, sixty-fcur of the prisoners were dead and the others were in so deplorable a condition that several have died. Another ex ample of the 'civilization' methods of the British in the east, but one that is sure to lead to terrible reprisals." "In sending the Prince of Wales to India." Mr. Ghose- declared, "England j is playing her last card, in a desperate | effort to maintain her rule there."

AS "BALANCE OF POWER" Former Ambassador to Turkey ! Speaks at the Church of the Covenant. Because the United States is the "bal- I ance of power" today she is in a position i "to settle for all time any dispute between other nations," Henry Mor genthau, former ambassador to Tur key, said in an address yesterday at the Church of the Covenant. "America will be the supreme court of nations," Mr. Morgenthau stated, "when we have demonstrated our abil ity to look at international problems i without passion or prejudice and when we make other nations understand that I the 'strong arm* of the United States of America?morally speaking?will be used to help the nation or nations in the right should a new and serious quarrel across the seas assume ugly propor tions. That does not mean that America will interfere in minor disputes. As the supreme court of nations we would interfere only in disputes that threaten | the peace of the rest of the world." Referring to tile arms limitation con ference, Mr. Morganthau said there was no ancient history surrounding it. as at Versailles, ^but instead the delegates a ret within the shadow of the Washing ton Monument and the Lincoln memo rial?all reminders that the moral force ot America is still a sound and forceful proposition. "In inviting th<-se men. here," he con tinued. "wc- are under no obligations whatsoever.
