| The American Bar Association, il
session At Saratoga, N. r, last week,
| adopted the following:
| The American Bar association
| pledges Its absolute and unqualified
loyalty 10 the government OF the
United States.
We are convinced that the future
freedom and security OF our country
depend upon the defeat of German
military power In the present war
We approve the entrance Of the
United States into the war before II
was too late to find success through
the united action Of the democratic
powers.
We urge the most vigorous possible
prosecution of the war with all the
strength Of man and materials and
money which the country can supply.
We stand for the speedy dispatch
OF the American army however raised
to the battle front In Europe where the
armed enemies of our country can be
found and fought and where our own
territory can be defended best.
I'VE condem all attempts In Con-
gress and out Of IL, TO hinder and en-
barrass the government of the United
States IN carrying on the war with
yiRor and effectiveness.
Under whatever cover of paeiicism
or technicality such attempts are made
we deem tAem to be in spirit pro-Ger
man and In effect giving aid and com
fort TO the enemy
'We declare The foregoing to be
overwhelmingly the sentiment OF the
american bar"
Senator Root offered the resolution
IN behalf OF the executive COMMITTEES of
the association.
Mr.. Root was given q great recep-
ton as ho arose TO Offer the resolution
At the close Of each paragraph, diRni
fed judges and lawyers leaped TO their
feet, waved their hats and ehcered.
When Senator Sutherland, president
OF the association, called for the reso-
luton 70 be seconded, the delegates
arose as one man and II was carried
unanimously.
