listed school teachers and their friends

The American Defence Society telc.

"as wise and patriotic measure" The

misled into making an attack upon you
through failure to appreciate both the
seriousness of the situation and the
honorable motives of those who would
improve the efficiency of the conduct OF

"The American Defence Society

back of you in this bill, and that its

Richard M. Hurd, chairman of the
board of trustees of the society, de.
clared that the government must take
frmer stand against pacifists anc
Germans, make friends with big bust
ness, cure itself of its complacency and
abandon "concealment of facts from
the public"
"The War Department is headed by
professed pacifst, who has put other
pacitists and pro-Germans in important
positions in the department." said Mr.
Hurd. "Our motto should be, Put only
Americans on guard The other depart
ments profess loyalty, but are insidious,
ly slowing down production. The country
is sick of theorists-of all kinds of men
except business men-running its busl-
ness affairs. When the Secretary Of
