To the News Editors OF La Sale

When travelling about the coun-

which can be put into practice

REOFIELD SEES CRAFTY
TRAP IN PEACE TALK

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 27.-Sug-
gestions of peace at this time are
nothing more nor less than traps
that are carefully and craftily laid
for the unwary. This is the plain
and concrete statement of fact that
is presented by Secretary Redfield
in a letter which he has written to
a prominent member of the state
assembly who represents a district
in the Borough of Brooklyn, and
which was made public last night.
"The United States must go on,
the secretary continued, with what
it has undertaken and not turn back
nor even hesitate in the path upon
which it has started. There can be
only one time when peace may be
properly considered and that will
be when autocracy shall have been
50 thoroughly beaten down and
crushed that IT will never again be
able to raise it's head to threaten
man"
