PROSECUTOR To
WETzEL'S AID
Trenton Principal Upheld by
Mercer County Attorney in
Pro- German Charge Case

TRENTON, July 29-As chairman
of the New Jersey commission on mil
itary training in high schools, Prose-
cutor A. Dayton Oliphant, of Trenton.
has issued a statement in defense of
DIR. William A. Wetzel's speech before
that body to which Mayor ponnelly
took exception in his recent charges
against DIR. Wetzel.
The prosecutor says:
I'm the attack by the maYor upon
DIR. Wetzel, published during last
week, he uses as the basis OF one OF
his accusations or charges a statement
made by DIR. Wetzel to the New Jer-
sey commission on military training in
high schools. I had the honor to be
chairman of that commission and
presiL-d at the hearing when DR.. Wet
gel sy Ike and / feel that in justice
to h..I and the public concerned 1
should make a statement.
The hearing was held May %,
1916, at the state house. 1 have the
full stenographinc notes Of the meet
ing and after thoroughly reading the
remarks of DR.. Wetzel, 1 cannot see
how the most patriotic and full
blooded American citizen could be
offended at or take exception to any
thing he said. To the contrary, he
strongly advocated preparedness, the
largest navy in the world, If necessary,
anu COdSl ItleIlSt. IL Is
true he was opposed to compulsory
military training OF school boys under
eighteen years of age but ho did ID
vocate physical training and argued
that it was a national problem to be
decided by the national government,
rather than by the separate states.
1T is always unfair to take one
sentence from a long speech and hold
that up as a ground for attack.
IF the mayor cares to be fair and
just let him print all of the doctors
remarks. He may have my report
for the purpose"
The statement of DR.. Wetzel's to
which the mayor took exception is
this:
II submit Germany is efficient be-
cause the German people have learned
to think straight. They have the
courage of their opinions"
When the contest of this statement
is considered, however. these words
have their real significance. In argu
ing against military training II the
public schools, DR.. Wetzel said:
w hear we must have military
training in the schools, because Ger
many has military training in her
schools. Attention has been called to
the fact that there is no connection
between the schools of Germany and
her military policy I submit, etc.
