wrote to the Rev. br. Thomas {, Han
professor at the Union Theological Semi

tcation pr Han had for asserting in an
article dealing with the causes of the
war: Great Britain has made 10 secret
OF her growing jealousy--cNcn her pull
pits voiced the swelling anger
Or. Jowett said he had no answer to
his first two letters. Then he telephonrd
TO Dr. Hall and three days later got
reply he said. which contained not the
slightest attempt To justify the charge he
had made"
In his reply 10 Dr. Hairs letter Dr..
Jowett wrote: 81 must therefore ask YOU
either publicly to substnntiate your charge
or publicly to withdraw it
There was no response to this .om-
municatiou and Dr. Jowett wrote again
to Dr Han saying Your continued
silence has driven me- 10 the conclusion
that you are unable TO justify the accusa-
