have impressed me that they had de-

United States position in this war and
that they leaned the other way. I have
not said that these members received
money I have made no such charge

of them does not square with my idea
of loyalty. There is now being carried

another form before BernstorT left the

every vestige of sedition and treason

he said yesterday. The Associated

House to elect the members of the
committee and that he wanted patriotic

the National Capital last night
laid an egg bearing on it's fiat

went to camp today. The egg was
one of twins. which makes it all
the more remarkable
And the hen belongs to Chair

Nor Is this all. The hen that
laid the egg of good omen had a
