these charges without reservation. Rel
alive to the charge that he commend
ed the Continental Times war book in
a Berlin journal, which attacked the
then Secretary of State Bryan in the
same issue in which his letter was pub
lished, he said:

statesmen and thinkers of our coun-
try, including President Roosevelt, etc,
