Washington, May 16 - President
Wilson late yesterday announced the
appointment of Charles Evans Hughes
of New York to be an associate Of At
torney General Gregory in the I'M
vestigdtion of charges of dishonesty
in aircraft production
The selection gave substance To the
impression that the President is Will

against the administration which are
founded on facts Other unimpert

equally determined to prevent politics
from playing any part in the inquiry
Against Congress Probe.
In a letter to Senator Martin, ma.
pority leader. the President called
upon the supporters of the admins
tratiOn in Congress to defeat the
Chamberlain resolution for a general
investigation Of the conduct Of the
war. The fight is still on, as a subst.
tute resolution introduced BY Senator
Chamberlain calls for an inyestiea
ton of ordnance as well as aircraft
production
The Presidents letter inviting Mr.
Hughes 20 aid IN the aircraft inquiry
is declared to make his position clear
It Is dated May 3. and reads
In asking Mr. Hughes to help in
the investigation the President said
You have doubtless noticed that

THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.

OF the Viglantes.
Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
And Slapped with vile disease
Back to the land of ruined towns
OF murdered men and trees
Through Switzerland from GERMANY
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier thew found
Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exiles came
Young wheat was green above the scars
OF steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast
The old were c0mforted
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel Of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
Red Cross Mani

In many instances l had the OPP
portunity of going through the
plants as a government representa-
tive, and saw the men bending to
their tasks with vim, vigor and de-
termination that would gladden. the
heart of anyone anxious to see this
war for democracy successfully end
ed. Always, too, found the men
enthusiastically responsive to pa
triotic utterance, and in every way
they made it clear that they are
heartily in accord with the govern
ment and willing to do their best at
all times.
Here Are the "Half Truths
Among so many thosuands of men,
however, it is always possible to pick
out here and there, some who are
slackers. 1t sometimes happens, too,
that these are the fellows who have
been intruded upon the industry on
letters of recommendation" from
wealthy friends, parents or influen-
tial politicians, because it finds them
"safe harbor of refuge" from war
duty in an exempted industry.
The great body of the men resent
the intrusion of these fellows, and in
fact they are always loud in con-
domination of any man who is a
Stacker" on the job, or from war
duty, for they know that these fell
lows are not only of great harm to
the country, but because of what
they fail to do, the average showing
is lowered for the men who are doing
their duty. But Mr.. Woehlke, avail
! ing himself of these half truths

So urgent is the governments
need for bookkeepers that civil serv-
ice examinations to All positions of
this character will be held through
out the United States each Tuesday
until further notice. Women as well
as men are eligible.
Two classes of examinations are
announced. A grammar-school edu-
cation or its equivalent is required OF
applicants for either class, with the
further stipulation that those who
wish to take the bookkeeper-type-
writer examination must have had
at least six months experience In
bookkeeping and those who would
undertake the clerk-bookkeeper ex-
animation, one years experience In
clerical work, six months of which
must have been In bookkeeping. The
vacancies to be filed from the reg
lister obtained from these examina-
lions are in the departmental service
at Washington and offer entrance
salaries of $1,000 a year.
These examinations are open not
only to all citizens of the United
States but also to subjects Of allied
nations who are otherwise qualified
for the positions offered.

exceptional cases to make it appear
that the whole body Of working men
engaged in the shipbuilding plants Of
the Pacific Coast, and particularly
those in the San Francisco district,
are slackers.
WOehlke Facing Two Ways.
This is the purpose of Mr.. Woehlke
in all of his agitation of this subject,
for he is by his own writings con-
fessedly pro-German. Only last
April he said in the Sunset Maya
zine, page 95, that in the event of
war between this country and Ger
many my presence Gin this country
will not strengthen the military
power of the United States" Now
he tells us that he is trying to sup
port the shipbuilding program of the
nation-and he is doing it by writ
ing articles libelling the men whose
work is putting boats into the water
$50 days ahead of schedule" Now
that is likely claim, is it not, in the
light of the above facts?
That the people may not be fur
ther imposed upon by this man
Woehlke, suppose I offer few quo
tations from his article on 1.-THE Con-
LESSONS of a German-American,"
printed in the April, 1917, Sunset
Magazine, Just before the declaration
of war. Here they are in the order
in which they appear:

the time these words appear in print,

fact openly. If the two countries

dealt with outright;
But a lie that is half truth, is a
matter that is harder to fight"
Walter V. Woehlke, self-confessed
German sympathizer, and crafty pro-
German propaganda, who has been
writing articles discrediting the
workingmen engaged in the ship
building industry of the Pacific
Coast, is using the half truths of
some of the conditions under which
the men work to make a CASE
against them. The truth is coming
out, however, and when it does,
Woehlke will be thoroughly discred-
tied, indeed If he does not land safe
ly somewhere for internment because
of the insidious propaganda work he
has accomplished in this country for
the kaiser.

then why two countries having
claims upon me?"
Because the United States never
has been really and impartially neu-

leaning tower of Pisa, the populace
does not care when one set of bel
ligerents plays football with the in

government vociferously when it in
sists upon the last little of these self
same rights against the other set"
(page Is, Sunset Magazine, April.

Woehlke, true defender of the
murderous German Imperial govern
ment, sees no difference between the
interference with American COM

More Woehlke confessions"
In the same month Mr.. Woehlke
had articles of like character in the
Century Magazine and the Saturday
Evening Post. / have the Century
Magazine for April, 1917, before me.
In the same magazine kunO Francke,
professor of the History of German
Culture at Harvard University. had
an article on a similar subject. and
he, true to his oath of allegiance to
the United States, periodically de-
clared: my oath Of loyalty to this
country knows of no conditions and
no reservations.
Different with Woehlke, however,
and notwithstanding that his article
is written a considerable time after
the kaiser had notified this country
Tin January, 1910 of his intention
to resume unrestricted underseas
warfare against American shipping,
we find him expressing his sympathy
for Germany's actions and admitting
the quality of his citizenship has suf-
fered deterioration-and that he
would not take up arms except in a
case of actual invasion of American
soil ia buccaneering expedition
against the United States" as he

in a conspiracy that would hurt the
United States. I would
take up arms against any for invad-
ing American soil, hungry for ran
som and loot"
But, mind you, he always holds q
reservation in any of the actual out
RACES of the kaiser against this coun-
try, and always he defends the kaiser.
Indeed fine type of naturalized
American citizen! The quotations in
the paragraph above will be found
on page $50 of the Century Magazine
for April, 1917.
Again, on pages 932 and 933 Of
the same magazine the following
from Mr.. Woehlke's pen might be
quoted to good purpose in getting at
an understanding Of the true charac-
ter of this propaganda of the kaiser:
'Since then the quality of my citizen
ship has deteriorated. am no longer
as wholehearted an American as
was two years ago ="
There Is yet more and more SIM
liar expressions Of thought running
through Mr.. Woehlke's articles, but
these are sufficient to show the man
in his true nature and character.
They tear the mask of the man and
show him a worshipper at the shrine
of the kaiser. He is crafty defend
er of the Imperial German govern
ment, and he is no doubt we'll
pleased with himself for the slick
manner in which he has put over"
lot of propaganda for the kaiser
and at the same time escaped intern
ment, so far There are native born
people in this country suffering i'm
prisonment this very day for a less
degree of sedition.
In my judgment, his articles on
the labor situation on the Pacific
Coast were written for the purpose
of stirring up strife and ill-feeling
between Employer and employe in the
ship yards, in the hope that this strife
and ill-feeling would hamper ship
production-and thus aid the kaiser.
Mr.. Woehlke has recently made
his appearance in the Northwest and
further Literary" outbreaks in be-
half of his imperial highness, the
German kaiser, may be looked for
from his Shiny pen. 1t is well that
our people be warned now Of his true
character, and thus save much in
trouble and discord. the things that
| it is his purpose to promote. Like
the kaiser, he believes that 1t is good
tactics to divide and thus weaken
the force of the enemy"
1t will be noted with much salts
faction that we now have industrial
harmony in the shipbuilding plants
of the Northwest. Let us all work
to preserve that harmony, and the
team work that goes with it, and thus
get lot of ships into the water this
year for the defense Of our country

German militarism and autocracy.
