"FRIENDS OF PEACE"

nEACE advocates from all parts of
America and its insular posses
sions will assemble in Chicago
September and 6. to attend the ma
tional peace convention and raise their
voices against what their leaders be-
heve to be a plot to involve the
United States in the European con-
fiict. Just who the "plotters'' are the
Friends of Peace do not say, but they
are positive that the "capitalist-c
trolled press of America" is helping to
spread the gospel of hate and to
hasten the nation over the brink OF
war.
Says one of the statements of the
society:
With sorrow we have noticed in
certain class OF newspapers in this
country disposition to malign and
Willy every person whose voice is
raised in the cause of peace. With
such regularity and precision do
the vituperative attacks follow
every utterance or movement
against the efforts to involve this
country in the war that they
campaign Of calumny and set de-
termination to down all opposition
TO the cry for war.
The Friends of Peace must thrive
in the publicity they receive. or per-
ish for the lack of 1T. They have
taken a strange way to win what is
to them the vital friendship of the
newspapers. But that aside, the Friends
of Peace grossly misstate the case
when they say that the newspapers of
America are either controlled by big
capital or are urging the country into
the war A glance through the files
for the past year of almost any rep
resentative newspaper will dispel
either accusation. If by repudiating
Bryan and his ilk the newspapers
have offended the Friends of Peace.
then no apology is due
No newspaper in the country. is
arguing for a bigger army and q
bigger navy in order that the United
States may participate in the present
war. BY the time our program of
preparedness is well under way the
European war will be at an end, in all
likelihood. The newspapers are look
ing to the future and the eyes of
millions of other suddenly awakened
Americans are cast in the same dfrec-
tion. They believe that our people
must be guarded by the best possible
defense we can raise between our land
and burglars abroad. Nov news
paper in the whole country nut would
suffer frightfully in case or war. For
their own selfish interests. If for no
other, they too are friends of peace.
We very much fear that unless the
delegates to gather at San Francisco
are more practical and open-minded
than their spokesmen have been very
little good will come OF tne con-
ference.

DAMAGE BY HAIL IN
WEST BRATTLEBORO
Severe Storm Broke Sunday Noon
Panfuls of Hail Could Be Scooped
Up Three Hours Later.

That section of West Brattleboro known
as district No. Il was visited by hail
storm Sunday noon that did considerable
damage to crops and covered the ground
with hailstones, some Of them as large as
moth-balls. Three hours after the storm
It was possible to scoop up panfuls of the
hail
The storm broke about u o'clock and
lasted nearly an hour. Horses and cattle
caught out in it were badly frightened
The stones cut corn, potatoes, beans and
other garden products that were well up
and battered the leaves from trees It is
believed that some of the fruit crop is
badly damaged in that section.
This was evidently the same storm that
struck Adams, Mass, and that vicinity
about noon Sunday and which was report
ed to have done considerable damage in
the towns along the border lines between
Vermont and Massachusetts,.

RECRUITING ON
AMERICAN TERRITORY
This Is Understood to Be the Basis of
the Charge on Which Huerta
Was Arrested.

WASHINGTON, June 2S-Details of
the arrest of Gen Victoriano Huerta and
Gen. Pascual Orozco on the charge of con-
spring to violate American neutrality
laws IN attempting to set on foot a new
revolutionary movement in Mexico from
the territory of the United States We're
received today by the department Of JUS
tice.
Although Gen. Huerta and Gen Orozco
were released on bonds they will be kept
under surveillance by border agents of the
department of justice
Just what evidence has been gathered
has not been disclosed, .uc It is under
stood to relate mostly to alleged recruit
ing of Mexicans on American territory.
Officials at the state department declined
to say whether the detention of Huerta,
preventing any contemplated counter rev
olQtionary movement, was a part Of the
Washington governments plan for com
pelling a solution of the Aexicon problem
by the CarranZa, Villa and Zapata fac
tions now in the field
Until President Wilson returns from his
trip to Cornish, y. H., it is unlikely that
there will be any new steps in the govern
ment's policy toward Mexico.

warning factions more time to come to an
agreement

Thomas Doyle, driving a 28-horse-

were four other young men besides
himself, ana Henry G. Ryan, accom-
panied by a companion in his new

from that direction. The road is mar

the machines struck The Ford was
stopped suddenly, one wheel being rip

ed, and the larger eur ran a short dis
tance, turned sharply across the road

MAKES NO COMMENT.
President is Not in Touch With De-
tails of Huerta Case,

CORNISH, n. H., June 2S-President
Wilson was notified today of the detention
of Gen. Victoriano Huerta on the Mexi-
can border, but withheld comment on the
ground that his case was being handled
from Washington and that he was not
thoroughly in touch with the situation
1t was understood, however, that tive
Huerta case would be handled Just like
that of any other person charged with
conspiring to incite in the United States
a revolution against friendly country and
that he would be prosecuted if sufficient
evidence is found.
The President was in communication
with the state department today and was
kept advised of the situation He re-
turned to his summer home shortly be-
fore noon, after a long automobile ride
and a golf game and plunged at once into
a mass of accumulated work.
Many farmers With wives and children,
gathered along the road to see the Presi-
dent as he returned from his gol6ng trip
and waved to him as he rode by in his
automobile. Mr.. Wilson frequently DOTTED
his hat and returned their salutations.
Many letters were received by the Presi-
dent today from persons who evidently
think he is more accessible here than in
Washington. He is attending only to busi-
ness sent from Washington, however, and
all letters received are forwarded to the
White House for attention there.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The tide Of battle is again flowing with
the Teutonic allies in Galieia. German
and Austrian claims of victory are sub
stantiated by the Russian admissions of
retirement south of Lemberg, while in Pc
trOgrad the recent retirement of the min
lister of war is to be followed by other
ministerial changes, according to current
reports
Following recent indications that the
Germans were resuming activity with the
possible intention of beginning another
march on Warsaw from near the East
Prussian border come reports of a strong
offensive movement by the Teutonie
forces in the southern part of Russian Po-
land
The latest official Russian reports men
tions this with a declaration that up to
Saturday the new offensive has met with
no success.
News from other sections Of the war
front includes an Italian official report OF
an unsuccessful attempt by Austrians to
retake the heights of Zeillemaofel.
German submarine activity has borne
fruit again in the sinking of the British
steamer Indrani in st. Georges channel.
British aviators have flown over Smyr-
ma, dropping bombs and causing more than
20 casualties in the Turkish garrison
there, according to report from Mydi
Elene
An interesting statement in view of the
recent reports is attributed to the Ser
bian minitser to Italy to the effect that
Serbia will decline to make a separate
report.
