"Say," said an American soldier to

"Sure."
"Well, there's an old girl in the gro
Gerry store down there who gave me a

bought some cigarettes. l want you to
go down and tell her just what l think
OF her, in French, and get my franc
back."-
"Sure. I'll do that thing"
And to the shop they went

Peace-at-A rice
Overture by Hearst
Spurned in Summit
Vendors Give "Americans"
Away After Futile At
tempts to Sell Them
BY BRIGGS

SUMMIT, N. j.. May 2o.-The town
of Summit to-day spurned Hearst
overtures for "peace at any price,"
Illuminated copies of the Presi-
ident's proclamation, from which "The
New York American" deleted the
prayers for victory, were distributed
free of charge. A representative Of
| Hearst visited Mayor Franklin and en-
deavored to assure him that the
emission of the victory prayers was
merely IAN office mistake"
But despite these attempts to .placate
Summit Hearst newspapers continue
to be unwe1come here. In fact, Sum-
nit will not have them-even, if they
are given away free.
Hearst agents yesterday resorted to
the scheme Of distributing copies of
THE New York American" free and
IN an effort to maintain a circulation
in this town.
Vender Give Papers Away.
An auto load of news venders ar
rived in Summit early in the morning.
BY noon they were convinced that
"The American" could not be sold IN
Summit: So they gave them away.
The last Hearst emissary to visit
Mayor Franklin was of different type
from the three representatives who
called on him last week. Those three
were large and impressive gentlemen
with loud voices" and the Mayor SAYS
they tried to bluff him.
The representative who came to
proffer an olive branch to the Mayor
was preceded by an engraved card. He
wore flower in his buttonhole.
He was, almost ladylike," said May
or Franklin. "He told me that the vic
tory prayers were deleted from the
Presidents proclamation by a mistake.
He said it was done by an assistant ed
itor while the boss editor was out Of
the Office.
"Edging his chair closer, he confided
that. the assistant editor had been
F! fired"
Refuses To. Be Pacified
SUBMITS Mayor refused to be paci-
fed by the reported sacrifice of an as
sistant editor. -
"The bluepencilling of the victory
prayers was only the elimination Of
Hearsts unAmerican activities" ex-
planned Mayor Franklin: "Since the
United States declared war Hearst has
nerslstently endeavored to break down
the morale of the American people. He
has tried to incite ill-feeling against
England, our ally. He has worked for
PAehiaIuie peace, winch would be q
German peace. True, most OF. his ef-
forts along these lines have been
ccamouf1aged, but the sting has been
there just the same.

to try her. She did not appear dis
turbed by the fact that she faces q
possible prison sentence for saying in
addresses here a few weeks ago that
she was against the government in the
war.
By her side throughout the proceed
ings sat ]. G. Phelps Stokes, who has
lavished his riches upon her since she
dropped her work as settlement
worker to become his wife.
Stokes is colonel in a New York
home defence organization, and had
to obtain npecial permission to leave
that state to come here to help his
wife. On a recent visit here he said
he did not agree with her views OF
socialism but would stand by her to
the last.
Another interested spectator was
James Eads How, "millionaire hobo
of St. Louis. How is Socialist and
recently returned from Europe, where
he had been trying in vain to start an
international peace move. How for
merly was classmate of Stokes. He
said he did not come here especially ia
attend the trial, but would watch il
closely.
Little difficulty was encountered in
qualifying twenty-eight men for jury

Mrs. Stokes sat at the counsel table
She gazed intently at the jurors as
they were questioned, and it was no.

she caught his eye.
In her letter to "The Star" Mrs,
Stokes said, in part:

ther, she denied she had said in her
printed interview that the government
should have the unqualified support of
its citizens.
II made no such statement and be-
lieve no such thing" the letter con-
tinued. "No government that is for
the, profiteers can be for the people.
And ! am for the people and the
government is for the profteers."
Mrs. Stokes was indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury, following her
Errest last March at Willow Springs
Mo. She was charged on three counts
with making statements tending ia
defeat the selective draft law and dis.
courage enlistments in the military
forces OF the United States.

G.. A. K. Mer, Learn
Many Dealers Will
Drop Hearst Papers
(Specsa, Dispatch to The Tri5xne)


POUGHKEEPSIE, May 2o.-Follow-
ing their action of Saturday night, in
which resolutions resenting the publ
the "deleted" Memorial Day proclama-
tion of the President of the United
States, the G. A. R. committee, COM
posed of Commander Horatio E. MUIR
ray, Captain Plummer, Major Lewis G..
Deitz, Captain Lewis C. Deitz and Cap
tain B. Meyers, made a tour of the
newsstands in this city and asked the
newsdealers concerning barring the
sale of the Hearst papers from their
stands for the duration of the war. The
result was that eighteen of nineteen
ness to give up the paper for the dura-
tion of the war.
This will be reported back at the
next meeting Of Hamilton Sleight Post
No. 20, G. A. R., by the committee We'd
nesday night. 1t is believed that at that
time petition will be drawn asking
the leading citizens to commend the
action taken by the local news dealers.
Captain Plummer said to-day that in
all but one instance he found that the
dealers commended their action of
ing to give up the handling of the
Hearst paper for the duration of the
war.
II can safely say that the feeling
among the dealers in general is for
the abolition of The New York Amer
ican' from the newsstands of this city,"
he said.
Commander Murray said that the
veterans were trying to work through
the patriotism of the public and he be-
lieved that the people were behind
them in .heir movement. He said the
matter would not be referred to the
Board of Aldermen, as the veterans
could act for themselves. "This is
shown by the manner in which the
newsdealers have responded and, in
many cases, the dealers said they were
with US before we even explained the
reason for our visiting them," said
Commander Murray.
The resolutions adopted by the post
resenting the manner in which "The
New York American" handled the Pres
ident's proclamation were mailed to
Washington to-day, one copy to Presi-
dent Wilson and the other to Edmund
Platt, Representative in Congress from
the 26th District.
A representative from 1.-THE New
York American" was here to-day visit
ing the various newsdealers.
