 To promote the Second Liberty Loan the Hearst l! 1 caroons a0 to aid the Thrd beTy the Hearst newspapers devoted 1910 columns of news, S editorials and cartoons.
 The subscriptions of the Hearst publications and e employees the Liberty Loans have been half million dollars; their Contributions to the Red Cross have been fifty thousand dollars
 n all matters the Hearst doing right God the right have tried to be the vgilant agents of the public interests by their ACTS well by words !
 Of MT. Roosevelt and others like him, who find : unpatriotic occupation denouncing the Admnistra on and who seem interested in their L personal ambitions and political prejudices than they Tn win ming the would like to ask the pla1n question:
 What hoOe done to giOe the right to crIft- else te Administration ard ifs splendid achievements, papers, loch considerably supported and conscienfiousiy endeoOored n help the GoUernn1ent lOt1 fine IOor!
 As far as I can MT. Roosevelt has done nothing but savagely and sensatonay attack the President or the United States and his Cabinet during this critical period, this for partisan political pur- poses and, what is worse, for pay. . ,r
 As far of the main objects ot Mr. Roosevelts attack the Administration to aid and advertise those magazines and news papers which him and support him and to retlect upon and which do not hire him admire him.
 As 1 matter what the motive or these continued attacks be, whether It be parsa personal, we'll intended and merely misguided, the result only be harmful to Government har ful to the spirit of people, harmful to the morale or armies, harmful to country and our countrys 
 After the is over, therefore, or, better, after this crisis over shall be glad to debate with Roosevelt upon the public platform whether his critical constructive efforts have accom- great to a speedy and successful conclusion
