Secretary of General Commit

Confronted With Own
Writings Avoids Answers
Asks Exclusion of

When Read Passages From
His Books Labor Organizer
Attempts Parry Questions
Put by Inquisitive Senator


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-William
z. Foster, secretary OF the general
committee conducting the strike, when
confronted today before the senate
labor committee with his writings ad-
vocating various forms of revolution
ary socialism, declared under a grill
ing fire of questions that his views
had changed.
How much they had changed. Fos-
ter declined to tell the senators, un-
less they excluded newspaper CORE
spondents from the room while he
did it. This the committee did not
do
Armed with books which Foster
had written during his career in Ia
Dor circles which advocated revolu-
tionary socialism and sabotage, and
with copies of the !. W. w. organ
Solidarity" containing articles con-
tributed by him from Europe. where
he went in 1901 as a representative OF
the organization, Foster was pressed
into a lengthy explanation Of the
doctrines and views he advocated In
1914 and earlier years.
Attempts to Parry.
Foster first attempted to parry the
questions at the outset, refusing to
answer questions until newspaper
correspondents were excluded from
the room, on the ground that Lying
newspapers have misquoted my per-
sonal opinions with the whole idea
OF injuring the cause of 700 steel
workers" He was finally crowded
into a declaration when Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, read
ing many quotations from his works,
demanded that ne say whether or not
he still adhered to his beliefs.
Those are not my views now" he
said, in a subdued tone, after listen
ing to his own words repeated, de-
claring "the state to be meddling,
capitalistic institution" and advocat-
ing violence in strikes as necessary
to the forwarding of the revolutionary
cause.
President Gompers of the American
Federation Of Labor broke into the
examination in irritated fashion, at
one point, when Foster was standing
on his objections to newspaper re-
ports of his testimony.
"Well, they can't say anything
worse about you than they already
have" the leader of the federation
adjured him.
Admits Statements.
Foster would not, however, COM
pletely retract his old words, and
faced with one line to the effect
that the syndicalist worker will not
be held back from direct action by
the capitalistic code Of ethics. duty,
honor, patriotism" he told the om-
mittee;
Put quotation marks around some
of those, and l will stand by them
yet. They'll show how the words are
used"
other excerpts from later writings,
stating that government as we know
1t will shrivel up and die" and indus
tries now in the hands of the state,
municipalities and the nation will be
given completely over to the workers
in them" he was quite well prepared
to defend.
81 have my own ideas about gov
ernment," he said of the first, and OF
the second. That's not SO startling
nowadays"
"Well, that's syndicalism pure and
simple, isn't it?" Senator Sterling
Republican, of South Dakota. one oi
his most persistent interrogators, de
manded.
"I think not" Foster said.

For reply he was told to mind his own business; but he persisted with his complaints No notice was taken of thems however. and. without saying a word to any Of us, the doctor deter 1ntraed to attempt to get M' KilIop out of the hospital. It was his intention to remove the man to a nursing home kept by a Mile. BreiIIe His fiancee and Belgian nurse were the only parties to the plot
 The Escape.
 On the night decided on Mile. Marie Cru, the doctors fiancee. changed places with the Belgian nurse, and as she was the only nurse in the ward where M'kilop lay, it was easy enough for her to assist NTF<iuop out of the ward and across the lawn to the car which the doctor had brought to take him away. The doctor was able to quiet the sentry who -cha1- lenged them by producing an order for the removal of the patient, and the party drove off before the matron arrived to reveal the truth.
 Unfortunately for the doctor, he was recognized and next day he was ar E t E5. Cru being accused afterwards Both were put on trial, before a court mar tial, and though there was nothing against them beyond the fact of thetr association with the escape of .M'KiI- IOp---who was by this time pictured as a dangerous spy of the AIIies--ft did not take much to justify in Ger man eyes the verdict of death passed on both.
 
 roy the Germans did not attempt to induce the doctor to betray us by of fering him his own life. but they of fered to spare the girl he loved if only he would betray the hiding place of M'Kiuop, and give some par ticulars of those who were aiding the escape of Allied prisoners. The doc tor did not deign a reply to this offer, which forced on him the terrible al- formative Of saving the girl he loved or keeping silent about the hiding place of a stranger of whom he had never known the existence until fate had brought him together. The girl answered for him, and, according to 8 wounded German officer who was associated with the Court Martial proceedings at the time, this was her answer
 For a daughter Of France there can be no choice between death and dishonor, and it would be worse than dishonor to purchase my life at the expense of that of a brave man who has come to fight for France, and out ever having known France, and without thought of the consequ uences to his loved ones in far-away Scot land. I scorn your offer of life I am ready to die with the man l , Iove''
 The decision of the Germans was that the doctor should die first the decision in the case of the girl being held back pending confirmation by headquarters; but, in accordance with the pra ac+ice then followed the gfr, was forced to be an eyewitness of the death of her lover.

The girl had flung herself in front of her lover, determined to die with him in stead of waiting for the confirma- tion of her sentence.

On the morning fixed for the ex- ecution the girl was brought into the courtyard and placed close to the wall against which her lover was to await his end. What happened may now be told in the words of the Ger man officer referred to:
 '"The man cast an ardent look in the direction of the girl She an swered with an equally ardent glance and then she called out, 'Adieu, ma cherie. C'est pour la France, nous alIons mourir! Goodbye, darling It is for France we are going to die).

When the Germans found that or dinary means of tracing the fugitives had failed they issued an order that no doctor or nurse was to attend wounded men in Allied uniforms, and that if doctors or nurses were sum- 7oned to attend such persons they were to report at once to the mi litary authorities the facts regarding the abode of such persons and the names and addresses of the persons sum- moning medical aid.
 It was a good thing for us that this order was disregarded by many patri- otic doctors and nurses. for some of the IS men who escaped were badly

AN OPEN LETTER
TO HOSPITAL CLUB

Miss Kate w. Randall has sent the
following open letter to the Children's
Hospital Club:
i wish to remind the hundreds of
children in Annapolis, of what many
Of them seem to have forgotten 1.-The
Children's Hospital Club. We hogan
ten years ago with list Of over 400
children. This year, 1919, we have
only l01. Last year. 1918, we had 40
who subscribed their So cents for the
whole season and 81 who brought me
their pennies in Sunday School, max
ing a total of 1873.
This years number has fallen off
32 members. There are 81 season
members who have heretofore been
most regular in their contributions
who are not on this years list | know
six OF them have moved away from
town, but | see no reason for the fall
ing off of the other Is and the same
can be said OF the 81 who used to bring
their pennies to me in Sunday School
Dear children, and mothers, the
sick children in Annapolis need your
help, just as much as ever! Will you
not, all of you, try to remember that.
and do your best to help such good
cause.
only So cents for the whole year,
surely you or your parents are will
ing to help us, that mucn. / think you
all know where Miss Kate Randall
lives, but if you do not, I will tell you
in Randall Place, just at the corner
of North street and College Avenue.
Please come, before this year of 1919
goes out
Yours faithfully.

NEAR COLLISION ON
SHORT LINE HAD A
BIG SCARE YESTERDAY
When Ii Appeared Two Cars
Would Crash

What would have been serious col
lision was narrowly ayerted yesterday
afternoon when the 5-oclock train
from Camden Station on the Baltimore
and Annapolis Short. Line confronted
the 4.S0 train from Annapolis running
in the opposite direction on the same
track, according to Philip Morgan, of
Glen Burnie, one of the passengers
Owing to the fact that both trains were
proceeding slowly and the encounter
took place on long stretch of straight
track near the Baltimore Highlands,
the cars did not meet. but the COLI
sion seemed SO imminent that several
persons jumped from the cars while
they were still in motion. No injuries
were sustained.
1t is the practice of the trains to
pass each other on double track sid
ing, since the line consists of only d
single track at this point. The trains
however. were running in opposite di-
rections on the same track, according
TO Mr.. Morgan. 1t was said by the
passengers that if the trains had been
proceeding at full speed or had met
on a curve that collision would have
been inevitable Train dispatcher
Britton. of the Baltimore and Annapo-
lis Short Line, was on the car from
Annapolis.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION

Yesterday the Democrats Of
Anne Arundel county nominated
ticket that will 90 before the
voters at the general election on
November 9TH, as the standard
bearers Of that party.
No question has been heard as
to the fairness Of the nominations,
and it is safe to assume that the
nominees are fully entitled to
their respective places on the
ticket.
The question, therefore, now
presented to all Democrats
is whether to stand with their
party i'll the campaign now begin
ming and help elect their ticket, or
by disloyalty or non-action to help
defeat it.
We deem it to be incontrovert-
ible that the Democratic party is
the natural and proper custodian
Of public affairs i'll this county and
State, at least, and that when that
party's ticket of public officers has
been nominated in a fair primary
election the best interests of the
whole community are subservcd
by its victory at the general cleo
ton.
All honorable means to this end
will be adopted and urged by this
paper.

WOODROW WILSON on THE
LEAGUE

The American people have too
much confidence in the brain and
heart of Woodrow Wilson to be
unduly disturbed at the mares
nests" few Republican Senators
have been finding in the League
of Nations. The plain and strik-
ing exposition of its spirit and its
letter the President is making on
his tour of the country will sweep

people. The League of Nations is
