that The Times has attacked the

On the contrary, We have been
sorupulously careful at all times

directed at a certain little group
of individuals, some of whom are
members of this committee. But
the committee as a whole has done
nothing to which The Times or the

Furthermore, so far as The
Times is concerned at least, this
is not a matter Of newspaper con-

Appleby's Statement.
tor Tacoma Times:

AppIebyts statement.
Editor Tacoma Times:
1T is extremely regrettable that
Pierce county's army post plans
have developed a newspaper con-
troversy, with charges of graft
against the executive committee.
LAS chairman of this commit
tee, l have devoted practically all
of my time, through the courtesy
of the National Bank of Tacoma,
since last September to the fur
therance of the army post project
and ! believe that it will be real
lied by the people of Tacoma that
] have done so without any selfish
motive whatsoever in view but
with an honest, sincere effort to
carry the matter to a successful
conclusion for the broad interests
of the community as whole.
In order that the seriousness OF
the present situation may be ap-
lpreciated, 1t is my understanding
from conversations which l have
had with representatives of the
war department during the past
few days, that these charges which
have been made are bound to have
an i'll effect on the plans Of the
war department in connection
with this particular site-it being
an understood fact that news OF
this character is reported in brief
detail in the various army and
navy journals.

at will also be readily under
stood that such charges will be
eagerly seized upon by representa-
tives of other sections of the coun-
try in an effort to influence the
governments activities In selec-
lions for army maneuver sites
elsewhere, and the further fact
THAT the war department is at this
time In a great state of activity,
irenders it utterly impossible for
them to give consideration to the
sitting of charges of this kind but
will have a tendency, as ] under
stand it, to influence the depart
ment against this particular pro-
Iject.
"It must also be realized that
the government officers, particu-
ilarly Gen. Bell, who are entirely
familiar and in full sympathy
with this project, have been trans
ferred to other duties, and officers
unacquainted with the personnel
of the general committee and not
committed to the proposition as
were the former officers--are now
in charge and their judgment will
undoubtedly be affected by the
false reports being circulated.
VIII Ask Investigation.
