No Objection to Pro-War
Candidates of Party, Says
Chairman Orth
Speaks for Fair Play
Position Of Organization Made
Plain in Letter to
Leaders

The National Security League was
aroused yesterday to a reiteration of
its position with regard to Socialists
by the announced intention of the So
cialist party to hold conference in
Chicago at which "particular attention
would be directed to the National Sc
curity League" The Socialists have
been accusing the league of trying to
destroy their party.
Charles D. Orth, chairman of the
leagues Congressional campaign COM
mittee. sent letters yesterday setting
forth the organizations attitude to
Adolph Germer, of Chicago; Morris
Hillquit, of New York; Victor Berger,
OF Milwaukee; John NJ. Work, of Chi
cago, and Ann A. Maley, of Mime
apolis, members of the Socialist party
national executive committee. Mr..
Orth IN his letter declares the opposi
ton of his committee TO the Socialists
is confined to those who are against
the war This committee was largely
instrumental in bringing about fusion
of Democrats and Republicans in four
Congressional districts in New York in
order to insure the defeat of the So
cialist candidates. The committee al
ways has drawn a careful distinction
III its literature and propaganda be-
tween members of the Socialist party,
as such. and the Anti War Socialists" :"
Mr.. Orth, in his letter to the mem
bers of the Socialist National Execu-
tive Committee. says:
"There is no foundation to the state
ment that the National Security League
is planning to knock out the Socialist
party
"ln letter. dated July Is, to the
editor of The Evening Call" of New
York, | wrote as follows:
"It seems proper that I should en-
deavor to make plain to you that the
National Security League and my com
mittce see no diffrence nor distinction
between the Democratic, Republicans
and Socialists as parties. In other
words, your party has the same right
to its principles and tenets as have the
Democrats and Republicans to theirs
But where any of these parties OF
their members by opposing the war
hover on the borderland of treason OF
/ sedition-if they do not overstep it
then it seems that the voice of every
patriotic American should be raisec
against them
ist believe that every right thinking
man should hold out the hand Of pc.
litical fellowship and that there shoulc
be no objection to a candidate nom
mated on the Socialist ticket, provided
he meets the requirements of eminent
ability and undoubtcd loyalty, which
the people should require of all candi-
dates
This attitude was conceived in
spirit of combined Americanism anc
fair play, and l believe that it will
prove to any man or woman with az
open mind that there is no foundation
for the statement that the league de

Gives Up Career
AS Active Editor
Courier Journal and
"Times," of Louisville Sold
to Judge Bingham

LOUISVILLE. KY, Aug. 6-Control
OF The Louisville Courier Journal"
and "The Louisville Times" held by
W. N. Haldeman and his sons and
Henry Watterson since the foundation
or the two papers, passes to-day into
the hands of Judge Robert Worth
bingham, of Louisville, according to
formal announcement in "The Times" ."
Henry Watterson ends his active con-
nection as editor of "The Courier
Journal" but will continue to serve in
an advisory capacity. w. B. Haldeman,
editor of "The Times" withdraws from
that connection with passage of control
of the paper to Judge Bingham.
The announcement indicates that no
change of editorial policy is contem-
pated.
The transaction gives Judge Bing
of "The Courier-Journap and 7OS out
of 1000 shares of the stock of "The
Times" With the papers passes con-
troll of valuable real estate holdings in
the retail district.
Judge Bingham is a we'll known
Louisville lawyer, once Mayor of the
city and later judge of the Common
Pleas Division of the jefferson Circuit
| Court.
The reason given in the announce
ment for the transfer of control of the
two papers is that the advancing age
of the former owners made. it seem
advisable. Robert E. Hughes, business
manager of the two papers, and Ar
thur B. Krock, editorial manager, will
continue to serve in the same capaci-
ties.
"The Courier-J ournal' was founded
in 1868 by w. N. Haldeman and Henry

Watterson became and remained editor
of "Thc Courier-J ournal" until the
present time. w. N. Haldeman was
, business manager of the property until
his death. "The Times" was founded
! in 1885.
Though Henry Watterson will retire
as active editor. he will continue te
contribute to "The Courier-J ournal'
editorial columns from time to time
and will serve the paper as editor emer
titus, title chosen by himself.
This announcement is contained il
an editorial, which will appear in to
morrow mornings issue of "The Cour
ier-Journal"
OF himself, he says:
"Preferment of every sort he has
disdained. 1t is little perhaps to say
! that no unclean dollar has ever touched
his hand, but it may be said that ne
dollar has ever reached it that was
not fairly earned and may not be
publicly accounted for He is not
rich man and has never sought to be
at may not be deemed overweenini
vanity if he takes some pride in th'
circumstance that he has served at thu
head Of a leading daily newspapc,
longer by many years than any othc
person connected with the American
press in the larger cities of the Unitet
States"
Concluding, he says:
"The world war will leave none o.
us where we were. Its drums anC
tramplings have already made startling
changes Who could have forecast al
alliance between England, France, Itnl,
and the United States against Ger

GERMAN MASS ATTACKS :
ACME OF STOLIDITY
Liverpool Officer Says Most Of Men Do
Not Even Fix Bayonets

Liverpool, April 11.-A Liverpool Of
flcer, in a letter from the front, writes
of the German mass attack.
II have watched several Of these at
tacks through my field glasses and have
been filled with horror each time They
ploughed forward in serried ranks. The
majority did not even trouble to fix
bayonets. Many had their rifles slung
over their shoulders and they advanced
apparently with profound indifference
over the bodies Of their comrades.
MY first thought was that they muTi
be drugged, they advanced with susl
callousness and utter unconcern. TIE
simile OF the locust has often been ap-
piled to the German hosts. and II would
seem to be well justified, for in all the
recent attacks there Is the suggestion
of the insensate soldier being absolutely
Indifferent to what happens to himself
or his comrade and obeying only one
overmastering force and impulse.
.'The whole object of British and
French military training is to develop
the initiative and intelligence of the
Individual soldier, and perhaps this ex-
plains why, in many cases. British or
French division has been able to hold
up six OF seven times its number"
