the boy ate a lot of veal. and he found
that it took lot of trouble to teach him

he had been dressed in foreign clothes for
such a long time, but he finally got things
so that the boy used to being at home

Says Police Were LaE

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As q member of the American De
fence Society, present at the mass meeting
of the Independent Citizens Committee Of
Welcome at Madison Square Garden last
Friday night, wish to testify to the luke
warm attitude of the police toward the dis
turbers. and also to the marked signs Of
concerted action on the part of the Hearst
supporters. The latter were massed to-
gether in punches in different parts of the
hall and had apparently timed their at
tacks to work together. They waited until
DR.. Manning had spoken for few minutes
and then began their attempt to break UP
the meeting. The reason for a special at
tack upon DR.. Manning was made evident
after the meeting when a number of them,
IN gong out, began to shout against Eng
land, saying Hes an Englishman born,
anyhow. though what England had to do
with the welcome of American soldiers and
sailors to New York is a mystery. OF
course, its true significance is that anti
English propaganda is ro-German propa-
ganda, and that there is middle ground
at this crisis in the worlds history
One prominent man remarked, "This is
the worst mistake Hearst ever made"
Many things were made clear at that meet
ing, and the creatures who yelled "Hurrah
for Hoist" did not further his cause.

reconcile this idea with our invasion of
