GERMANS WANT FAIR PLAY IN
PRESS ON WAR NEWS

AS many G6TIldn people Vi SulCdSO
as could be jammed into the Auditor
ium Theater last night passed reso-
lutions calling upon the press to be
fair in its news reports of the present
crisis.
Many speeches were made showing
the attitude of various newspapers
in coloring the news enough to make
it anti-German. The Rev. Alfred Mey-
er denounced the press for blaming
the kaiser for the war.
1.-THE American press asserts that
it was in Emperor Williams power to
prevent the war" said the Rev. Mr..
Meyer, "but that he refused to stop it,
and sought war. He is the man, the
press says, who with an iron hand has
extinguished the light of civilization
and brought misfortune upon Europe.
I'VE the German citizens of Amer
lea, do not believe it. We know that
it is not so. Therefore we protest and
demand that the other side be heard
in the American press. We demand
justice and truth and nothing else"
The resolution, which was passed,
said in part:
1--WE deplore from the depth of our
hearts the animosities and race hat
reds which have led to this terrible
affliction. We are filed with fearful
apprehension that such animosities
and hatreds may be transplanted to
the United States, the country of our
choice, our country.
we are fearful that the seeds for
such evil to some extent have al
ready been sown by the way in which
a section of our press has been re-
porting and commenting upon the ak
citing news of the day.
I'VE declare that it is inimical to
the best interest of our city and coun-
try and harmful to civilization when

to whom so many of u citizens are

An eighteen-year-old girl told Magis-
trate Reynolds in the Adams street police
court in Brooklyn yesterday how she had
made her way from Maine to New York
and had supported herself since her ar
rival here last September.
She contradicted the popular idea that

sisted that she could get along unaided.

quest Of the Sanford authorities. and spent
the night In the Adams street police sta
ton. When arraigned yesterday morning

Magistrate and to Probation Officer Anna
}. Connolly that she was no vagrant and
was capable of making her own way.
She admitted that she is n runaway
from the Maine Industrial School at Hal
dwell. to which she was committed at
the instance of her parents.

then little more substantial food.
Then they both got work as household
servants. They kept the Jobs until they
had enough money TO bring them to New
York. soon after their arrival in Novem-
Der the other girl was caught and sen,
, back to school.
Miss Kerr tried To get work in sienogra-
ply. but without recommendations could
not get "A position. So she convinced an
agent OF her ability as a cabaret singer
and was engaged at Colaizzis in Eas.
Twenty-fourth street. She told Miss Con-
nelly that when arrested she was abou,
TO start for F.lmra where she had received
months contract.
III some way word got back to Maine of
the girls wherec bouts and her arrest was
requested. Detectives Chrystie and Ward
