Final Effort 10 Mislead
Public" Says Committee
Headed by Prof. Beard
Conspiracy Charged
Five "Honorable' Means to
Avoid War Only Intended
to Confuse Courtry

charlie, Austin Beard, professor o.
notifies g., Columbia University last
night gave out statement Of COM
mittcc o. which be is chairman. which
calls tho pacifst plan OF ;he Emergency
Peace Federation Tro-Germa1 and an
swers catcgorically ;hc Gve honorable
means proposed Tor avoiding war.
The Emergency Peace Federation
saws the statement, makes last des-
Deratc effort in its advertisement to-
day 10 miS'cad the American public or
the issues before the country. II Sug-
gcs,s five honorable means for avoid
ing war. when there Is hut one. namely,
an immediate and absolute abandon
ment Of its criminal methods by Ger
many. The federation demands:
First a conference OF neutral ma
Uons 20 promu!gate the Declaration
Of London. This betrays either lg-
norance Of the nature OF the Declara-
ton Of London OF a wlltul attempt 10
becloud the minds of the Gninformcd.
The Declaration OF London deals only
with property rights. 10 IA no way
touches the subicc. OF human rights
at sea. il would have been Impossible
IN 1909. when the dee .araton was
drawn. for the human mind 10 con
ceive OF the atrocities since committed
By the German government.
"Pro-Cerman Scheme for Delay
in the second place. the federation
asks US 20 encourage neutral nauon~
20 mediate and endeavOr 10 bring Ger
many 70 a submarine policy that we
can tolerate. This is obviously a pro
German scheme to delay action on the
part Of the United States while Ger
many butchers on the sea.
an the third place, the federation
asks for a joint high commission Of
members OF Congress and members Of
the Reichstay. Unless the United
states pronoscs to surrender at such
conference al Of the rights which
have been asserted. then there Is moth
ing 10 confer about. Why deliberate
# there can be only one conclusion
namely. the abandonment Of butchery
bv Germany and return 10 civilized
practices Germany has had K IN her
power at any moment to establish
peaceful relations with the United
States. Delay is the Kajser's dearest
hope.
In the fourth place, the Peace Fed
Grafton asks for a peace appeal to all
hclligerertS. This is another prO-Ger-
man excuse for delay while Germany
butchers. No thinking citizens viii be
deceived by the real purpose behind
the fedcration's call for more appeals
Delay is what Germany wants.
in the fifth place. the Peace Fed
grafton calls for a referendum. ms,
TOO. is a part Of the same conspiracy
10 delay while Germany butchers. The

1t is reported that Iraca, who was
convicted Of participation in the muir
der Of Henry D. Rider, at ASTON, has
made confession in which he acknow-
lodges his guilt. OF course the state
ments Of the man are being carefully
guarded. as it is not desirable for them
to be made public before the trial OF
other defendants. There are various ru-
mors, some Of them being that Iraca ad-
mits he was at the scene, but that the
party in the automobile did not proper
ty identify him, as he was not on the
side of the machine where they say they
saw him.
If this is correct and he was on the
other side it would look as if he fred
the shot which killed Henry D. Rider.
At any rate there is not the slightest
doubt that the jury did the right thing
when they convicted Iraca of murder
of the first degree. 1t is also reported
that Mile Demarco has been much
worried since the alleged confession as
it involves her to a greater degree than
she has been willing to admit, and it
looks as If she might be adjudged guilty
despite the statement OF detective
Parker, that "they viii never con-
vict her If she is tried. "

Urge Crop Growing

To stimulate and direct the produc
ton and conservation Of food crops
the State Of New Jersey. through ths
Department of Agriculture Public
instruction, Conservation and De
velopment and the Agricultural Elk
perimental Station, has issued bulle
tin, in which it says, in part:
"AlI men, women and children
should strive to help the farmers. who
are the producers of food. This may
be done by organizing groups Of young
people who could help in the planting
tiiling and harvesting of crops. When
vegetables are most abundant they
should be conserved for future use by
means of canning, drying or presery-
ing.
The vacant lots in the cities, towns
and suburban districts suitable for the
growing Of food crops should be util-
lied as far as possible.
Virtually every towu and city has
Its small gardens, where much skill in
the growing of vegetables is shown
each year and good crops secured.
ut is urged that each community
establish an active, capable garden
committee, and that all details OF the
campaign be worked out by it.
Whether the committee be organized
by the the school board, by the Mayor
or by independent action is less inn
portant than that it go to work prompt
~ and keep at it through the season.
