S1ssON TO DEFEND STORY.

NEW YORK, October 1s.-There Is no
desire on the part OF the committee
on public information to avoid discus
sion of the authenticity of the 'Sisson
papers," seeking to prove German
support and control of the bolsheviki
in Russia, according to a letter re-
eeived here by Judge Clayton Of the
federal court from George Creel,
chairman of the committee. The mes
sage said that Edgar G. Sisson, who
procured the documents recently made
public by the government, stands
ready to appear in court upon request.
Mr.. CreeIs letter was prompted by
notice of Forthcoming service of a
subpoena upon him by counsel for
Ave men and a woman on trial here
for alleged violation of the espionage
act. They circulated pamphlets crit
icising the government for sending
troops to Russia, and claim. their ac-
ton was justified because the United
States had not declared war on that
country. They allege that the Sisson
papers were forgeries. Mr.. Creel said
he was ready to appear, if necessary.
but that Mr.. Sisson was the proper
person to testify.
