WAR ON HEARST y.
NEEDS HIS TIME,
So JONAS RESIGNS.
"Big Enough to Answer and to
Fight Such a Demagogue,"
He Says.

Because OF the trouble over the
presence OF James NJ. Beck at the
mass meeting OF the Brooklyn Vic
tory Celebration Committee at the
Brooklyn Academy Of Music on
Wednesday, and the injection OF poll
tics. Nathan S. Jonas, Chairman OF
the committee has resigned. He In
timated that he will devote much OF his
time to fighting William X. Hearst
At tho meeting OF the Execu-
tive Committee OF the Celebration
Committee. Mr.. Jonas read his letter
~ resignation. The committee unani-
mously passed vote OF confidence in
him and urged Borough President
Riegelm0nn. who was present. not TO
. accept the resignation. Mr. Retgei-
mann said very little. He refused to
accede to NIr. Jonas's request that
the resignation be accepted immedl-
ately and said he would give 1t con-
I sideration,
Mr. Hearst was bitterly attacked by
Mr.. Jonas after he had read his letter.
81 want II distinctly understood
that IL is not Mr.. Hearst nor the edi-
torials in his newspapers which are
driving me to resign" said Mr.. Jonas.
There must be in this country
man big enough TO answer and TO
/ fight such a demagogue.
81 am willing to accept that respon-
| sibility. and my main object in ask
ing 10 he relieved OF the duties OF
/ the chairmanship is to devote all my
| tino TO waginS this battle.
Hearst and his New York Amer1-
! can and his Evening Journal are a
menace which the United states Gov
ernment doesn't fight, but which L
intend TO fight"
! Steinbrink, both well known BROOK
| lynitos. urged Mr.. Jonas to continue
! in the chairmanship.
1.-THE whole question is whether
! Hearst and hts newspapers are TO pc
| permitted TO dictate to the brooklyn
! Victory Celebration Committee as 10
what IL shall do" said Mr.. SteinDrink.
! while Hearst was preaching sedi-
! ton, Mr. Beck was writing the story
OF the martyrdom of Edith Cavell and
uf those who lost their lives on the
| Lusitania."
! Eorough President Riegelmanr sat
bv and heard this. When MIR. JoraS
turned 20 him and asked that his res
ignation be acted on at once. the Bor-
ouRh President said:
This requires mature thought, ana
| will take the matter under consid-
Grafton"
Then Riegelmann sat down.
The Jonas letter spoke first or the
three letters Mr.. Riegelmann had
sent him regarding the substitution
OF some one else for Mr.. Beck. Mr..
Jonas wrote that they all related to
one subject, "thc right OF free speech
and Of fair play" He then quoted
Mr. Rlege,mann's statement TO him
that thc committee wns an official
one appointed by Mr.. Riegelmann in
his official capacity, and commented:
The lntimation here conveyed. as
well as in our conferences, indicated
your embarrassment at my remain
ing the Chairman OF your official
committee, because l did not choose
to do your bidding and for other
obvious reasons"
Max Abelman resigned from tho
committee also. sending his resignA-
ton to Mr.. Ritgelmann, but givin
: no reason To newspaper men he
refused to explain his action or t
make any comment.
