THE DOCUMENTS
ATKINSON SENT
TO THE SOLDIERS

Spanish war are now held on a. technical
agreement for TWO years service to be
sacrificed in the Philippine Islands. Lest
others should be entrapped into enlist
ment in the regular army or the volun-
teer service in the tropics, ii Will only be
falr and honest on the part of the re-
of these facts.
Then comes this, under date of January
Is, 1893, over Mr.. Atkinson's signature:
The young men of the United States
who volunteered in a war undertaken in
the name of humanity are now being
compelled TO serve in the 'forcible annex
alton, which had not been thought of by
William Mckinley on the 11th OF April,
1898, and to take part in a campaign of
conquest which he then said that by our
code of morality would be criminal ag-
gresson.'
at is now plain that this act will not
receive the assent of the Senate at this
session. Before the next Congress can
be brought together 1t will become plain
First, that the way to avoid the i'm
notation of our troops is for Congress to
forbid conquest and criminal aggression.
Second, that the way is plain to Sc.
cure peace without accepting the ceSSion
of the Philippine Islands and without
making their inhabitants citizens by
bringing them under the jurisdiction of
the United States
Third, that the way to save the lives
and health of the troops now exposed is
by ordering them home since after peace
is declared there is no authority of law
to keep them abroad and there can be no
lawful function which they can perform
in foreign territory in time of peace.
Fourth. the way has already become
plain for the youth of the land to avoid
disease and death in the tropics by refus-
ing to volunteer or to enlist in the army
or navy of the United States.
Fifth. the way will be found for the
volunteers now held against their will to
get their release from unlawful service
in any other country than their own after
peace is declared.

ATKINSON IS PLAINLY
ACCUSED OF TREASON

Y WASHINGTON, May 2. - The
EI Postmaster General has direct
w ed the Postmaster at San Fran
cisco to take out of the mails for
Manila three pamphlets issued by
Edward Atkinson of Boston, vice
president of the Anti-Imperialist
League. This order does not apply to
the circulation of the pamphlets by
mail in this country, but bars their
dispatch from this country TO the
Philippines. discomfort and even mu-
tiny among the soldiers being stated
by the department to be the design
of those publications.
The three pamphlets are specifically
described and under no circumstance
are they to be forwarded by mail to
the Philippines.
The three pamphlets are those which
have the title: Criminal Aggression
by Whom" The Cost of National
Crime" and The He'll of War and Its
Penalties"
These. unless something should de-
velop to necessitate further action. may
he circulated through the mails within
this country. According TO Mr. AtIin-
sons own statement as reported, a
large number of the pamphlets have
been sent out. The matter was brought
TO the attention OF the postal officials
by the War Department. whose au-
th0rities We're greatly exercised at a
suggestion that some action be taken.
II is thought there is little possibility
of any Of these publications getting
past the san Francisco office, but if a
few should the military authorities in
the Philippines viii promptly suppress
them. Postmaster General Smith made
this statement to-day:
These pamphlets actually incite to
mutiny and it would be utterly un-
jusrifable to permit their circulation
among the soldiers in the Philippines.
Their circulation is a movement to in
duce the soldiers to disobey orders and
in effect 10 embarrass and resist the
Government in whose service they are
engaged. Their circulation except in
the mails for the Philippines is not in
terfered with because, in being sent to
Manila. they are destined for soldiers
fighting our battles, but in this coun-
try the effort TO incite to mutiny could
l4siNN ll' RESULT MOI only are IneN de-
signed to incite to mutiny the American
soldiers on those islands, but also to
foment and encourage insurrection on
the part of the Filipinos themselves
Such seditious literature as now es-
topped might have an effect on the
forces we now are dealing with that
would incalculably revert to their ad-
vantage and certainly would tend to
stimulate and strengthen their already
weakening cause. The law covering the
case is ample What action might be
taken-and the offense is of the gravest
character-is not to be discussed. /
do not believe there is any intention to
prosecute Mr.. Atkinson. as the matter
now stands The authority to do so.
however. is plain. He not only attacks
the President and the Government in
the most viruleut language and dis
putes the national policy, but also calls
on the American troops TO defy the
Government. Certainly this Govern
ment is empowered to stop or check, as
it sees fit, the circulation of these Sc
ditious publications"
