The Herald has received large number of
letters from its readers condemnng in emphatic
language the attack made the United States
government by DR.. Emil Schari in address to
the United German Societies last Tuesday. Most
OF tho writer's however, either failed to give their
names or made the request that their identity be
made public. In justice to DR.. Seharf who
necessarily accepted full personal responsibility
for his incorporate remarks The Herald will re-
frain from publishing these anonymous rejoind-
ers. DR.. Scharf probably realizes now that he
made a big mistake in thus attacking the govern
ment and public men of his adopted country, but
whatever consequences may cnsue will affect
principally himself. DIR. Scharf is just of the
class described by President Wilson as ''very
vocal. but not influential"

Hundreds of students gathered at the city hall
