Is Year | errn for
Pacifst Preacher
Who Fought Draft
The Rev. c. II. Waldron, of
Vermont, Convicted on
Second Trial

BURLINGTON. Vt, March 21.-The
Rev. Clarence II. Waldron. pacfist
preacher. who was convicted by the
Federal Court here Tuesday night of
Gisloyal uttcrances and of attempting
to obstruct the operation of the draft,
to-day was sentenced to fifteen years
in The Federal Pcnitentiary a. Atlanta.
A motion by counsel for stay Of OK
ccution was denied by Federal Judge
Howe who, however, in imposing SEN
tence, announced that the motion might
be presented later.
Shows No Emotion
Waldron stood up and heard the pro-
nouncement of sentence without visible
emotion. A group of Penecostals. with
which sect Wa,dron had been associ-
atcd since mis- retirement from the Bap-
tist Church at Windsor, occupied front
seats in the court room where nc was
brought in for sentence. While waiting
for the jury to report Tuesday night,
these friends spent their time in
prayer
Two months ago jury at Brattlc-
boro failed to agree after twenty four
hours. At both trials Waldron made
vehement denial of the charges, al
though a score Of witnesses produced
by the government testified that he had
refused the use of the Baptist Church
at Windsor for patriotic meetings, that
he had spoken against the Liberty loan,
and had advised young men to resist
the draft, even to the point of facing
a>sunrise firing squad.
Fifteen Years for MackIcy
Harold Macklcy, of Holland, forty,
was found also guilty by the Federal
Court of disloyal utterances and was
sentenced to fifteen years imprison-
ment at Atlanta. Witnesses testified
that Mackley had said he was proud
OF his German blood and if forced to
fight against the Germans he would
plan to shoot Americans before he was
killed. At another time, according to
testimony given by his employer, the
defendant said that he would be glad
if the United States were beaten for if
this country chad minded it's own bust
ness it wouldn't be in the war"
Macklcy admitted some Of the state
mcnts, but said they were made in a
inkinp Snirit.

a year ago and got away with $4,000 in
cash and jewelry.
AT an exhibition ball game in Jack

Advertisers Part
I'm War Outlined;
Praised by Wilson
Greater Efforts Planned to
Aid Government at
Big Dinner

The vital part advertising men OF the
nation are playing in the war and how
much they have done in swinging the
pendulum Of victory toward the Allied
cause was accounted by leaders of the
profession last night at dinner given
by members of the Advertising Club of
New York to William c. Darcy, prcsi-
dent of the Associated Advertising
Clubs OF the World, in the clubhouse,
81 East Twenty-ffth Street.
Not only is advertising a great fac
tor in the prosecution of hostilitics, it
was said, but President Wilson per-
sonally has ACCLAIMED its power and
has urged that the convention be held
this year as usual, SO that the good
work of The organization might not be
disrupted.
1--WE are telling and selling the story
Of democracy" said Celestian J. Sulli-
van, OF San Francisco. who is here to
persuade all New Workers to attend the
convention in that city next July. "I
saw the President in Washington and
he expressed the appreciation of tho
nation for the way advertising has
helped in the winning of the war"
Canadian Advertising Outlined
But the most interesting data of all
that offered dealing with this subject
were those submitted by William Rook,
of Toronto, vice president of the asso
ciated clubs, who recounted some of
the triumphs of advertising in Canada
since the war began.
campaigns in Canada" he said, "de-
signed to assist the government in the
PRONUNCIATION of loans and other emer-
gency measures. Among them have
been the three victory loans, which
were oversubscribed, the call for boy
farmers, the food conservation cam
paign and the farm garden appeal.
Most important of all, however, was
our advertising for soldiers. BY good
advertising we succeeded in raising an
army of almost unbelievable numbers.
Does Canada appreciate our work? The
best answer to that query is found in
the fact that the government pays us
for our work"
This was met by much applause, for
the United States is not compensating
advertising men, measure designed
for such expense having been rejected
by Congress.
Propaganda Assailed
President Darcy spoke but briefly
He was compelled to retire because of
illness, but before he stopped talking
he had urged continued activity in ad-
vertising, saying that failure to hold
the convention because of the war
would be great mistake.
G. B. Sharpe, president of the local
organization, was the POSTMASTER He
attributed pleas for cessation of ad-
vertising activity to proGerman prop
aganda
"There is nothing Germany would
like BETTER" he said. "The problems
to confront us after the war as to how
to get our goods on the market are
going to make present problems look

Vital Witness
Is Missing at
Treason T rial
He Was Expected 70 Sub
stantiate Charges Against
"TagebIatt" Officials
Especial Correspondence

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-Robcrt
Czepansky, who is believed to be in
New York City, was not present to-
day at the second day of the trial Of
Louis Werner and Dr. Martin Darkow,
editors of the Philadelphia "Tage-
blatt." This was matter of con-
siderable concern to the prosecution,
as Czcpansky was expected to give
testimony that would substantiate the
charges of treason lodged against Wer-
ncr and Darkow
The missing witness is an American
citizen, and was an employc of the
"Tageblatt," substituting for Dr. Oar
kow, the managing editor, on Satur-
days. During this substitution, Cze-
pansky had charge of the foreign dis
patches, ana, as many of the articles
cited in the indictment as reasonable
were published on Sunday, Czcpan-
sky's testimony has been deemed of
vital Importance to the government.
An Important Witness.
Czepansky testified at the prelimi-
iioly liSul ldSb tCtPttiilOci anu W
also witness before the Grand Jury.
So important was he considered as a
witness that his name is one of these
signed to the Indictment which was
found against the defendants. The dis
appearance Of Czepansky revived the
reports that friction among various
agencies engaged in the prosecution
was materially affecting the course Of
the governments case.
Through the testimony of several
employees of the Tagcblatt, the gov
ernnent to day was enabled to trace a
direct connection between Werner and
Darkow as to several of the articles
which the government has stamped as
treasonablc and are portion of the
basis for the indictment. Compositors
declared that Werner had charge of
the editorial page, writing the subject
matter and constructing the head lines.
while the foreign dispatches and their
headings were from Dr.. Darkow, they
said.
More important was the assertion by
Richard Richter, one of the compost
tors, that one of the articles which the
government cites rs reasonable came
from press association exactly as it
was produced in the "Tageblatt." After
the adjournment of court he told re-
f'O1 NNio ll!Ht lIC ldSpDldIl ndu TWO
sources of this plate matter"
Heading Held Reasonable
This specific article was printed in
the issue Of July 18, 1917, and was Il
review Of the war for the preceding
year. The government contended that
there was no fault to be found with
the subject matter of the article. the
only alliance with the alleged treason
being the heading, which read:
"Rcview of 1916-Thc Military Sue
cesscs Of the Germans in the Previous
Year-All Ofrensives of the Allies
Smothered in Streams Of Blood
The most stubborn battle of the day
was wagcd over the admission of the
sworn circulation statement of the
"Tageblatt," and resulted in victory
for the defence. The exclusion of this
statement rendered the effort of the
government to prove officially the con-
nec.ion Of the defendants with the
management more difficulty. This con-
nection is, of course, the primary basis
on which to establish the charge of
treason,

But Can t Escape Kultur
Head Of German-American Alliance Shows Good Wind
but CAM Shake Old Friend in BIZ -ngual Obstacle
Race Before Senate Sub b-Comnittce
Bv Ralph Block

WASHINGTON, March 21 49, Those
twin bloodhounds Of the Teutonic
hegomony, kultur and Deutschtum,
harried the swift-footed Dr.. S. G. Won
Bosse, president OF the National Ger
man-American Alliance, all through
to-day's session of the subcommittee
or the Senate Committee on the Judi
ciary. Through the misty glens of BIZ
lngual Interpretation and across the
scarps and cliffs of bi-lingual transla
ton, the .long-winded doctor scurried
and ran and jumped. trying in vain to
shake off his old friends, trying with
growing desperation to blind the trail
and rid himself Of their telltale COM
pany.
There were moments when his faith
ful pursuers seemed to lag and fall
back 1t seemed for time almost as
IL the persistent DR.. Won Bossc would
yet emerge from the wilderness and
bogs of suspicion with the German
American Alliance safely tucked under
his arm, and free finally from the
pursuit. But behind the baying hounds
came the indefatigable Senators King,
Wolcott and Sterling, crying them on
to the chase, and when the hearing
closed the German-American Alliance
Kultur Not Always the Same
The only conclusion that appears
tenable after to.day's session of the
committee which is to report on
whether Congress should take from the
alliance it's Federal charter is that DR..
HeXamer does not mean the same thing
as Won Hollweg when he
says kultur. Neither. apparently, does
DR.. Won Bosse have the same thing in
mind as Treitschke when he talks of
Deutschtum.
Kultur is used by the German-Amer-
lean Alliance in its official utterances
in different sense than it is used in
Germany to-day, according to DR.. Won
Bosse. "We mean the study of the
German language and the German lit
erature and German music" said DR..
Won Bosse, "and development for US
of the happy and easy conditions of
living of Germany"
The doctor did not seem to see any
irony in this, and continued the dec
laration that Deutschtum means for
the alliance perpetuat!on of the So
cial customs of Germany.
MY dream has been,' he read into
the official report of the proceedings.
"that the land of my mother and the
land of my father might grow to love
each other more and more"
Deutschtum was variously translated
at other high points in the proceedings
as "Germanism' or German charac-
terstics."
Dr. Won Bosse read translation of
the much discussed "inferior kultur"
speech of DR.. HeXamers at Milwaukee,
