chased for the Kaiser, calling upon

the advertisement was inserted he had

the appeal
The NIJness Stated that he believed
DIR. Rumely was making the appeal in
the common cause of humanity. as an
honest effort to prevent the shipment
from this country of weapons of de-
struction- He declared that he thought
at that time the munitions referred to

not to the allied nations.
Despite the wording OF the ap-
peal. Mr.. Hammerling insisted that

of the money. but insisted it was In
