The excitement of sending away h

ing the battery boys leave town, he
received telephone call from an ex-
cited farmer name Stinemetz, near
Hunt Station, who said that German
had visited his farm early in the morn.
ing and had launched TRADE of crit
icism and profanity against the U. s.
government
Lytle at once hired a taxicab and
drove out the Newark road, being in.
formed that the man had started to.
ward this city. After driving in the
country for several miles and incur
ring fair sized taxi bill, Lytle met
the German" and placed him under
arrest. When questioned, the man an
swred with an unmistakable brogue
that his name was Patrick Mullen and
that he was late of the ''old sod" He
said he was on his way to Cleveland
and was highly desirous of returning
to tho Emerald Isle.
There was no need to question the
man concerning his nationality after
t'Lytle placed him in the county jai
until Friday evening and then started
him on his way to Cleveland with t
warning to speak respectfully of the

PRESIDENTS NOTE
POWERFUL INDICTMENT

William Jennings Bryan, who has
been considered a leader of American
pacifsts, was asked at the University
Club today to give his opinion of the
Presidents note rejecting the pope's
peace prefer.
"Since the war began" he said,
II have made it rule not to discuss
questions connected with the prose-
cution of the war or terms of peace.
| do not want to violate the rule fur
Their than to say that the President
has presented a powerful Indictment
of the German Government His ar
gument is an amplification of prin-
ciple very briefly stated in Holy Writ,
namely: it is not wise to put new
wine into old bottles-the spirit OF
democracy into autocratic forms OF
government"
Mr.. Bryan refused to go farther,
saying: "My work, as conceive it,
is to help unity the nation in support
of the government. If / were to dis
cuss the merits of propositions
would continually arouse and encour-
age controversy. But when l insist
it is the duty of every citizen to sup
port his government in any act the
government takes, / am presenting a
proposition which is not open to dis
pute.

for the people. The alternative is an
archy-the substitution of the indi-
vidual's opinion for his governments
