DENIES LEAGUE AT FAULT.
Writers to The Star Deny Remarks
About Army and Militia.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Star of yesterday gave space to
a statement concerning complaint that
orators in the vicinity Of Sth street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest" were
making disparaEing remarks about SOL
diers of the regular army and militia
men,
Also, The Star quotes q statement from
Capt. D. Spencer Bliss. that lecturers
have repeatedly shouted to the crowds
that gather nightly there. that soldiers
not not At "compsnions for brutas," etc, etc. etc
These statements are misleading and
very unfair to some orators" who
speak at that place-'the peoples
Iforum"-unfair in that names and dates
The District Self-government League
has a permit to hold meetings at that
place upon Tuesday. Thursday and Sat-
urday evenings, and our speakers are
there on those evenings and not on any
other.
Our speakers have not said the things
charged this season or any other. and
we have held meetings there for four
years. DR.. Thomas Elmer VIII secured
and gave 1t the name-the Peoples
Forum.
Two years ago a permit was granted
to another organization. the Soctahsts
IfOpaR6no0, lOT Iuo Same COEu0ts "
hold meetings upon Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday eyenings. That propa-
ganda is entirely apart from the Dis
trict Self-government League.
We protested then against the So
cialists being assigned the same loca-
tion, for we feared just what has oc-
curred-confusion in the public mind
as to whose meeting was being held
from time to time.
And we protest now that we are
wronged by the published complaints.
for we do not furnish the orators
who shout to the crowds nightly
any such remarks as alleged. We are
careful who speaks for US. and as to
what is said. 1t 10 the peoples forum,
in fact, to US, and 1t Is free speech,
but proper speech. Como and hear and
see for yourself
We have been disturbed occasionally
and not always by civilians: usually by
Intoxicated persons. We do not mis-
represent and insist upon not being
misrepresented. We know our rights,
and do not abuse the courtesy and priv
|ilege extended US.
