The French morale had been broken,
but the gallant United States marines,
at Chateau-Thierry, by saving Paris
and stopping the German drive in the
early days OF June, gave to the French
and, in fact the Allies an entirely new
spirit"
This statement was made today by
Captain Orlando n. Petty. Of 6215 Ridge
avenue, just returned. He was medical
officer with the Fifth Regiment, of ma
rines.
Deep down in the heart of every ma
rine who went into that terrible fight
at Chateau-Thierry was the firm con-
victlon that he belonged to an invlnci-
BILE fighting organization. 1t was that
spirit that give the Fifth Regiment the
power to drive back the boche hordes
and save Paris.

marine in a bayonet duel. Our men,
the equal of any soldiers in the world,
are not bloodthrsty.
I'm a front-line trench a man forgets
civilization and sinks to the level of
barbarsm. 7 am glad the war Is over
and want to forget It,"
Captain Petty arrived in New York on
the steamship De Kalb and came d.
rect TO his home. 'I am on my way
to Washington" said the officer today.

Stotesbury Shown Wrong
in Advising Complain
ants to Buy Stock
SKIP.STOP IRE ROUSED

The remedy suggested by L. r. Stotes-
bury for curing complaints against the
Rapid Transit Company's cars will not
quite do.
His contention that purchase of the
companys stock will cause the buyer
to cease complaining is disproved by
Simon Wertheimer, OF 21O7 Venango
street.
He has seven hundred shares OF stock
in the company and In his complaint
is vigorous and to the point He de-
clares that the skp-stop system is a
bone-headed arrangement and the state
ments on the propaganda cards issued
by the company constitute an insult to
the intelligence of the people.
It was in the course of an address
before the Five O'Clock Club that Mr..
Stotesbury made announcement to the
effect that purchase Of 1000 shares or
stock would cure persons of complain
ing
He was speaking then of a woman
who complained against the grinding
wheels, Of the trolleys, but not even a
Mitten against the ear will soften the
wall against the skip-stop.
Mr. Wertheimer is specially opposed
to the skip-stop at Twenty-second ana
Venango streets. Recently his brother &
automobile was damaged as a result of
that skip, he says He went to the Of
flee of the Rapid Transit Company, bur
received little satisfaction, he said

PRO.GERMANlSM
PREACHED IN US.
S o M e Teutonic Pastors
Who Joined Army Now
in Atlanta Prison
AIDED In PROPAGANDA
By the Associated Press

warrington, Dec. ~
German Lutheran pastors were in
structed to preach pro-German sermons
before the United States entered the
war, Captain Lester. of the army intelli-
gence service, told the Senate propa-
ganda investigating committee today,
and some of the pastors who Joined the
army later and continued preaching IA
vorably to Germany now are in the At
lanta penitentiary.
On the other hand, Captain Lester
said, other Lutheran ministers were
wholly loyal and aided in giving the
Government information. He said repre-
sentatives of the larger German Lutheran
synods informed the intelligence service
that unfortunately some ministers were
disloyal and that steps were being taken
to get them out of the church.
Describing unsuccessful efforts of Ger
man propagandists among American
negroes, the witness said word was
passed among the negro recruits that If
Germany won and occupied the United
States a portion of the country would
be turned over to them exclusively.
The witness told the committee that
the German Government for many years
had subsidized Kropp Institute, Luth-
eran theological seminary, graduates of
which went to all parts of the world to
preach in favor of Germany, with their
expenses paid by the German Govern
ment, he said.
Cablegrams from William Bayard Hale
to the New York American late in 1915
and early in 1917 were read by Captain
Lester to support his assertions tha'
Hale's utterances were 'pro-German
anti English and anti-American. Many
of these messages were sent after the
severance of diplomatic relations De-
tween the United States and Germany
through German wireless to Tuckerton
| y. Y. ,;,
Captain Lester reminded the commit
tee that he made no statement yesterday

MAIN LINE LADS HIT HARD
Drafted Men in Thick of Wars
Last Battle

Main Line soldiers who had gone
through the mill at Camp Meade were
in the midst of the fighting in France
when the arastice was signed. This Is
attested by more and more frequent re-
currence of their names lately in the
casualty lists and by unofficial reports.
The fact was made more plain when
Captain James J.. Donaghy, chief of
police of Lover Merton township and
chairman Of the Ardmore draft board.
received a letter from Charles Douglas
Thurman. of Narberth.
Thorman said fully one-half of a
large contingent Of Main Line mer who
went to camp last April had been
wounded. gassed or killed in service on
two fronts.
I'VE are expecting to reach the States
by the first of the year, as the Seventy
ninth Division is not Included in the
