LONDON March 20.-The London
office of the commission for relief in
Belgium has given the Associated
Press a statement regarding the she'll
ing of the relief ships Tunisie and
Haelen, with the killing of several
members of their crews, reported in
last nights dispatches.
The Tunisie and the Haelen were
attacked by submarine without
warning outside the danger zone, off
the southwest coast of Norway" says
the statement. The ships We're not
sunk The port bow of the Tlaelen
was smashed by a Shell and seven men
were killed. The Tunise
is proceeding on her voyage" Ii adds
that apparently the Haelen proceeded
under her own steam to Stavanger,
Norway Both bore distinguishing
marks and had safe conducts, ISSUED
by the German government" it is
said.
NEW YORK, March 20. = In con-
nection with cable reports of the
shelling OF the relief ships Haelen and
Tunisie and the alleged killing of sew
eral men in one of the life boats, the
commission for relief in Belgium is
sued the following statement tonight:

stands for justice and a free press.
Mr. Cochran, can I still say this if
you line up with the war lords of
U. S.? Has this country done any
thing in the time of peace for the
working class that it should fight for
it in the time of war. This country
has refused the working people old
age pensions, disable pensions, also
used military force against us when
we went on strike to get higher
wages and shorter hours, so we could
have better homes and healthier chill
dren. Remember Ludlow, Colo, and
other such strikes when the work
ers we're driven back to work with
military force which meant lost
strike. Say, Mr.. Cochran, if to be
all American is to go out and murder
some other brother in a foreign
country do not want to be all Amer
lean. l was born in this country, so
were my folks, but 1 will not kill a
brother of some other country just
because the dollar patriots are in, a
fight over the control of commerce.
l am no gutter, or no coward, but I
will die fighter. I am no bully, but
I will fight and die for a principle.
Our enemies are within this country,
not in a foreign country. I will fight
and die to wipe out the damnable
system off of the face of the earth,
which is capitalism. They say war
is hell The. whole capitalist system
is he'll to me.-AIbert F. Gray.
Cochran's Answer. If Mr.. Gray
will follow me through he will learn
that I am no gutter and that know
what I am doing. I'm for peace. I'm
not for war. You'll find that even
now Wilson is doing all he can for
peace, and to save the cruel slaUgh-
ter of more millions of our brothers
of France, Germany, England, Rus
STA, Italy, Austria and other coun-
tries involved. I say that Wilson's
latest move is a move for peace and

THE PUBLIC FORUM
GRAY CRITICIZES COCHRAN

GRAY CRITICIZES COCHRAN
I see in your article of Feb. Day
Book in which you head it Wilson
AIl-American Policy" that you favor
war.
So, Mr.. Cochran, you are going to
let The Day Book get yellow by your
being made a tool Of by the parasites
and the dollar patriot. Mr.. Cochran,
how can you make war wrong with
Mexico and all right with Germany?
War is hell, no matter what nation
this country wars with. Are you go
ing to be a gutter with your Day
Book when the working class of Chi
cagO needs you at this very moment
with The Day Book to fight for JUS
tice for them. Mr.. Cochran, do not
die a gutter, but die a fighter.
Say, Mr.. Cochran, you know that
people Of U. S. want peace; that was
the reason that Wilson was re-
elected. When appealing for votes
for Wilson huge posters pictured the
president and a happy American
woman and her child in the fore
6AOuLus Will 1dClOllCo ctllu d OCClC
Of a peaceful industry in the back
ground. The posters bore the NOR
ais, "He protected me and mine"
The peace vote of U. S. was cast for
Wilson. Wilson has now double
crossed the people just like he did
the railroad men, and I said it to you
in a letter before election in The Day
Book.
You give him credit before election
to do what the people want. That
was peace. The people still want
peace, but Wilson is bringing us
nearer to war and you give him cred
it for this. So you are going against
the people, just like the other yellow
newspapers of U. S. are doing. Why
don't you say that if the country is
to go to war let the people have a
vote on this war question. The peo-

not in any way attempt to influence
the boy ir his plea. but fully explained
hts rights to have jury. After Mr..
Lancaster had advised the course to
be pursued. II seems that the boy hcsi-
tated and then MIR. Lancaster intimat-
ed to the court that he could do moth
ing more. and he saw no use OF his APP
pearinE further in the case. The boy
then withdrew his plea of not guilty"
and put in tho plea of guilty" and
asked to be tried by the court. to which
request l. as Commemorative attor-
ney. consented. Evidence was then in
troduced of practically the same ma
ture as is above narrated. In addition.

COURT SOUND BOTH GUILTY
OF FIRST-DEt:REE MURDER
No argument was then made. either
against or for the prisoner. but the
whole matter was taken into consid-
Grafton by the court. and the court, in
the exercise Of its duty, found the
prisoner guilty OF murder in the first
degree. and sentenced him to pay the
death penalty. In both of these cases
the prisoners testified in their own
behalf.
DO these proceedings, as narrated
above. constitute "travesty" upon
Justice?
have had experience OF more than
thirty years in the courts of this Com
monwealth as judge of the county
court for FIVE years, and prosecuting
attorney for twcnty-siS years. and in
all these years this is the first init
nation that has ever been made that
my conduct in dealing with the Grim
inal class has been "travcsty" upon
justice.
Judge Hundley needs no defense at
my hand. His long life. four years
OF which were spent in Offering his life
in defense of his country. and as
civilian in private and public life there
is not stain left upon it. His high
Christian character and his past record
we'll known throughout this Common
wealth. is sufficient to Shield him
against the insinuations and unjust in
t:mations Of those who wantonly and
recklessly attempted to destroy his
good name. and this attempt is made
upon the testimony Of one whose name
is withheld II his assailants were
tried in the court OF public opinion. the
verdict would be guilty of attempted
murder Of the reputation OF Just
judge
In conclusion / do not desire or in
tend these statements or facts to be
taken as opposing the exercise OF
executive clemcncy towards the boy
prisoner. / have heretofore EXPRESSED
TO the Governor my opinion.
