President Blind
To Hearst Menace,
Declares Pasto,

TARRYTowN. June g William
Randolph Hearst, his papers and the
doctrine that they teach, formed the
topics upon which the Rev. J. ]. Henry,
pastor of the Asbury Methodist Epis-
copal Church here, spoke tonight at
meeting in the church, under the
auspices of the local committee of the
American Defence Society
There are two arch hypocrites this
side of hell" said Mr.. Henry. 'One of
tham is the leader of the Potsdam
gang; the other is-well. ! don't know
whether he is in California or New
York at present"
He then went on to assert that
Hearst, through his papers, has been
carrying on German propaganda for the
last four years.
HE puts an American flag on his
front page" he said, "and then on his
back page sticks a knife into our bows
on the sea and in the trenches"
1T is not my purpose to criticise the
Administration, but it seems to me
that the President is being misled con-
corning the menace of the Hearst
papers. He is only binding his own
eyes when he allows Secretary Daniels
to write letters to members of the
Hearst organization, bestowing praise
for the efforts being made to inculcate
patriotism into the Middle West"
Mr.. Henry then read extracts from
many Hearst editorials to demonstrate
how this patriotism" was being incul-
Gated.
"The best way to bring about pro-
hibition," said he, "is not to patronize
! the saloons. The best way to bring
about the defeat of Hearst is not to
purchase The American or The Even
ing Journal"
He ended his address by plea for
the elimination OF all things German.

Thousands From

Night on Beaches as Trans

Crowds of refugees from the heat of

yesterday. Many Of these, it was re-
ported late last night, will probably
be trying to get home at noontime to-
day.
For under the rush of 125,0O0 hot,
tired merrymakers, who had spent the
day at South and Midland beaches, the
transportation system of Staten Island
broke down utterly shortly after night
fall. Trains we're unable to cope with
the situation. Garage owners put into
service every car they had as ;itney
buses, but we're able to handle only a
small fraction of the crowd.
TO make things more dismal for the
marooned visitors, the municipal ferry
could take only. few across each trip.
This was caused by the fact that New

possible headway, but the crowds that

man propaganda has accomplished vast
harm to the cause of the Allies, but
all unwittingly it has done the United
States one important service. 1t has
caused the steel manufacturers to
cnange a wrong and harmful employ
ment policy of many years standing
and compelled them to take a deep in
terest in Americanization work among
non-English speaking immigrants.
For many years the steel men sought
to have their employees divided into
believed the language limitations
would hamper the efforts of labor
agitators. For this same reason, they
exercised preference for non-Eng-
disappearing labor. Now all this is
changed and the steel men are doing
everything short of paying premiums
to get English speaking workmen and
to urge the non-English speaking men
to begin the study of the English
language.
The Bethlehem Steel Company has
about 10000 employees. recent CEN

money would be taken from them.
"Who told you these things?" they
we're asked.
"Oh, we hear 'em everywhere. It's
whispered about"
Investigation convinced the steel men
a definite campaign was being fostered
among their employees by German
agents.

Professor J. K. Grove, Pole. is

to qualify her comment with the state
ment that we have not all the facts
in this part of the country

Stokes's sentence was based mainly, as
understand it was, on the statement
that she did not sustain the govern

ably unjust penalty to exact. Econ
omic criticism is not disloyalty. This
IS fundamental and most important
TACT. 1t is time more people who so
loudly proclaim themselves patriots
were made to understand this"
Mrs. Blatch expressed her hearty
approval of the war and her sympathy
with Americas aims therein, and con-
tinued:
Trying to Stife Discussion
"But it seems to me that great
many people are trying, under the
guise Of patriotism, to stife all dis
custom of general vital problems. What
seems to worry them is apparently not
only disloyalty, but any talk of change.
The great, glaring fact is that we are
in the midst of change, whether they
like it or not, and that we must dis
cuss it fully and intelligently if we
are TO get anywhere. In 80 far as
such discussion-and at this distance
it is difficult to see how it can be CON
strued as much else-it is a deplorable
event in our history"
Socialists, although admittedly deep
ly incensed over the sentence, were
loath to discuss the matter for publica-
ton yesterday. Morris Hillquit de-
clared that he had nothing to add to
the statement he made when the news
first reached this city. Other Socialist
leaders were equally reticent. At Mrs.
Stokes's residence the door bell was
not answered.
In many coffee rooms and studios the
rank and -ile of Socialists excitedly
discussed the matter and there were
numerous suggestions of appeals to the
President and the holding of mass
meetings of protest. Officially, how
ever, no steps looking to such action
have as vet been taken.

There was very little, if any, response

The newspapers Of the state are not
inclined to admit that Wisconsin needs

that Hcarst's papers are particularly

paper could be employed on such a

That Wisconsin is quite able to de-
fend itself from any possible attack
is shown by little book, "Thc Truth

Association, which has found an en-
trance into almost every organization
in the state. 1t has been read into
the records of Congress during the

the Milwaukee County Board has just
authorized the purchase of 5000 copies

According to Wolf, he provided the
material for large part of "The Her

facts about Wisconsin from his book
