not extend to his right to make the
Nonpartisan league speech, nor in
to the motives Of his critics.
Replies to Letter.
To the letter sent to the commit
tee yesterday by Senator La Toilette,
asking hearing and suggesting ex-
tension of the investigation. Chair
man Pomerene today replied:
Referring to the request contained
begs to advise you that it does not
concede that its powers extend to an
inquiry into your right to make the
speech delivered by you in st. Paul
that question being reserved by the
full committee for its consideration;
nor does it believe itself authorized
to inquire into the motives or animus
OF those making attacks on you.
Given Chance to Reply.
The sub-committee desires, how
ever. to afford you an opportunity to
be heard and to inform the commit
tee with reference to the accuracy OF
various statements contained In the

nrst. question, which the committee
plans to investigate is the authority
Of Senator La Toilette for his state
ment regarding the Lusitania- The

from Mr.. Bryan regarding the incl
dent. It has not been determined
whether Mr.. Bryan will be asked to

is being pushed in the same region as
the attack Of Tuesday. in which the
British. in corporation with the
French, drove back the Germans
along a front of seven miles and cap
tured more than. 1000 prisoners. It
is probable that the present effort is
an attempt to clear the Germans
from the remaining portions of the
dominant ridge east Of Ypres. Tues
days attack gave the British more
ground on the ridge and left the
Germans with only a small section In

Augustus Thomas, Noted Author, Gipes a
Series of Talks That Enthuse Workers
And Will ADDRESS Mass Meeting
Tonight

The playright-who is right its
ever a preacher.
The playwright who rises to the full
moss of genius and Of success has q
message to give to the world, other
wise his work is vain and futile. !,
Augutus Thomas is playwright,
and therefore he has message to
deliver to the people. That is why
he is today touring the western states
at the request Of Washington to
preach the righteousness, the oppor-
tunity Of service to mankind in the
second Liberty Loan being made an
enthusiastic and immediate success.
Mr.. Thomas is spending the day
and evening in Grand Forks in this
, splendid work, making talks at the
high school, to a gathering Of bank
era, to the faculty and students at
the University of North Dakota, and
tonight addresses a monster mass
meeting At the Presbyterian church.
All for Democracy.
In his address at the high school.
Mr.. Thomas gave President Wilson, q
great message Of democracy to the
pupils. His address was a gold mine
Of Inspiration and his message was
one that carried forcibly with stu
dents and faculty members.
fact that everything they have had
been given to them by democracy.
He traced the idea Of democracy back
to the dim days when modern civtli-
cation was a-borning and showed how
all Of the great inventions and new
ideas Of the world had come to men
or boys in lowly positions and how
them ito the people. He mentioned
such men as Elias Howe. the Ameri-
;cAn who gave us the sewing machine;
Glr Rtchard Afkwright, who invented
the spinpingSWhee and, Ghrstopher
CoTuinbus, who gave thesMcrM Amer
stca. T7es tol4 the STUDENTS that they
: r In poor posftl0n5 had much more
chahts Of giving To- the world, 9 grea,
idea than the people IN more fcr;;
tunate circumstances. He showed
them that It was the common people
and not the aristocrats who gaye the
world it's great things. .%Ae
why War Came to America.
Mr.. Thomas. then. told why thil
war had come to America. Our
country has entered the struggle tc
save the democracy for which our
forefathers had fought. He. then
applied the idea Of democracy to the
world conflict. and showed how the
war was brought about by tho acts OF
al madman who was trying to over.
throw democracy and maintain ar
altocracy. He, then, contrasted the
two ideas Of democracy and autoc'
racy.
p Tho speaker closed his address BY
telling the students what loyal Amer.
leans were trying to do to stand be.
hind the government. and this gave
him the opportunity to introduce the
Liberty Loan idea, for which he /.
campaigning. He told the student.
that 1t was q glorious opportunity
not to give. but to loan to the gov.
