its humiliating failure TO safeguard
American rights is held up to de-

by asserting that its conduct had no
alternative but war: that to disprove
its conduct is to favor war.
This astounding assertion can not
avert attention from the serious errers
committed. We all desire peace but
we desire peace to be honorably guar
anteed by correct politics. by firm in
sistence on known rights. by deserving

We have not been kept out of war: we

with this backing the best that Detroit

since the worlds series as to why Jen-

so many hard hitters in his lineup and
with team which can score so many
runs per game. When one stops to con-
slider that with only one pitcher in the
first SO in the American league list, it -

Mr.. Hobbs so testified yesterday in re-
ply to questions by counsel for minority
stockholders who are opposing continued
receivership of the Boston & Maine IN
proceedings before the federal court.
The vice president stated that the plan
probably would result in common stock
holders losing some of their controlling
power but said he had no doubt it would
have beneficial effect on the outstand-
ing common stock.
Conrad W. Croker, counsel for the
minority stockholders, announced that
United States District Attorney George
w. Anderson would be called as wit
ness in the hearing.
As member of the public service
commission in 1913, Mr., Anderson dis
sented from report on the status of the
Hampden railroad, claim OF which is
involved in the question of the Boston
& Names obligations.
The report itself was ruled out by
the court yesterday.
