CHARGES
FOUND GROUNDLESS
BY JUDGE NETERER

Seattle Union Record of Jan. 24.)
'An attack upon the form of
government of the United States is
not accomplished by criticism of
the policy of the administering
agents or official conduct of its
servants.
can analysis of each of the
charges, and the plan set out, and
the overt acts, is conclusive that no
attack is made upon the form of
government or the constitution of
the United States
Thus United States District
Judge jeremiah Neterer Friday
disposed of the "sedition" charges
brought against the Union Record,
e. B. Ault, Anna Louise Strong,
George P. Listman and F. A. Rust
by United States District Attorney
Robert Saunders, following the
shooting at Centralia, November
III.
The final indictment, framed UNI
der the provisions of the wartime
espionage act by the district at
torney, after a barrage of heavy
editorial fire from the private press
against the Union Record, was dis
missed by Judge Neterer Friday
morning, following the dismissal of
two indictments and the sustaining
of the demurrers to them. Tues
day, January 10.
Judge Neterer's decision means
that the Union Record officials will
not even be brought to trial and
that the charges were entirely
groundless.
A minute summary of the various
clauses in the indictments is con-
tanned in 10 pages typewriter copy
constituting Judge Neterer's rul-
ing, in which the judge pointed out
that in its editorial utterances the
Union Record expressed itself
against public officials with which
it disagreed, but not against the
government or the constitution.
Charges that the Union Record
slandered the army uniform were
held to be without basis.
There is a distinction between
the government of the United
States and its administering
agents" Judge Neterer ruled.
1.-THE form of government is en-
during. The administering agents
are selected periodically.
1T would be an unnecessary con-
sumption of time, and unnecessary
expense, to have all the evidence
presented in court and then as
miss the case upon matters appar-
ent in the record now.
Justice, in my opinion. requires
that the demurrer be sustained, and
it is so ordered"
The indictment vanquished by
tho last demurrer charged con-
spiracy under a section of the war
time espionage act, which Judge
Netarer recently ruled to be non
existent.

THANKSGIVING

President Wilson, On last Friday,
issued the following Thanksgiving
Day proclamation:
The season again approaches when
il behooyes us to turn from the dis
fractions and preoccupatien OF our
daily life, that we may contemplate
the mercies which have been vouch-
safed to us, and render heartfelt and
unfeigned thanks unto God for his
manifold goodness.
This is an old observance OF the
American people, deeply imbedded IN
our thought and habit. The burdens
and the stresses of life have their
own insistence.
We have abundant caase for
thanksgiving. The LESSONS of the war
are rapidly healing. The great crmy
of freemen which America sent to le
defense of liberty, returning to tbs
grateful embrace of the nation, has
resumed the useful pursuits of peace,
as simply and as promptly as it rush
ed to arms in obedience to the coan-
try's call. The equal Justice of our
laws has received steady vindicatlon
in the supprot of lawabiding people
against various and sinister attacks
which have reflected only the. baser
agitat;ons of war, now happily pass
ing.
In plenty, security, and peace on
virtuous and self -radiant people face
the future, its duties. and its oppor-
tunities. May we have vision to dis
Germ our duties; the strength, both
of hand and resolve, to discharge
them. and the soundness of heart to
realize that the truest opportunities
are those of service.
In a spirit, then, of devotion and
stewardship, we should give thanks
in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves
to the service of Gods meciful and
loving purposes to his children.
Wherefore, 1, Woodrow wilson
president of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thurs

STAND IN WAY OF BUSINESS
Historic London Churches May Have
to Give Way to the Demands OF
Modern Progress.

Nineteen historic city churches h
the heart Of London, 13 Of them the
work of Sir Christopher Wren. have
been marked for destruction by COM
mission appointed by the bishop Of
London to consider the whole ques-
ton of the city churches. In seven
cases 1t is proposed to preserve, for
their architectural and historic value.
the towers of the churches. In the
other cases these old monuments.
dating back to the seventeenth century
and the great fire Of London, would
disappear.
This is the recommendation of the
bishops commission, but already
strong protests have arisen and the
Society for the Protection OF Ancient
Buildings has announced that It will
take every possible step In making the
strongest protest.
The value of the sites of these
churches is placed at nearly $780,
100000, situated as they are In the
great business center of London, be-
tween st. PauIS and the Tower and a
little to the north Of that line. In ad-
dition to this enormous return from
the church property the commission
expects to realize an income Of $780,
600 a year from the beneficeS after
setting aside $4,000 a year for the
salaries of certain of the clergy con-
cerned. For the site of q single
church. that of All Hallows, Lombard
street, Barclays bank has offered ST.
100000, and the value of the site of st.
Dunstan's-in-the-E East has been esti-
mated at S1,250,0O0.

INDUSTRY AIDED
BY Relief WORK
BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURAL
CONDITIONS IN NEAR EAST
ARE IMPROVED.

The Armenians and Greeks were the
economic backbone of the former Otto
man empire. When these people were
rudely uprooted, their homes pillaged
and their stores plundered, business
stopped. The early efforts of the Near
East Relief committee were directed
towards the re-establishment of native
industries and the encouragement of
all forms of self-support.
AS far as funds permitted, oxen and
seed were supplied to the farmers, raw
wool and cotton were furnished to the
carders, spinners and weavers, mate
rial and tools to the carpenters to re-
build demolished homes, hand sewing
machines loaned to the women, and
leather was supplied to the cobbler to
make shoes for the orphans. Me-
chanics were employed in the trans
portation department. Every means
that an ingenious American relief di-
rector could devise was utilized in
finding employment for the returned
refugees and in inducing merchants
and farmers to go back to their for
mer occupations. In the orphanages
the older children are trained along
industrial lines in preparation for
work.
The following notes from a typical
station report for one month are sug-
gestive of industrial activity in many
relief centers: $50 employed in weav-
ing; IA in the shoe shop; 16 in the
carpenter shop; IA in the blacksmith
shop; 5 in the tin shop.
1t has been impossible to make win
ter suits in advance because of the
late arrival of suitable cloth, but the
tailor shop equipment at present con-
sists of "a hand sewing machines. 10
foot sewing machines, 2 cutting tables
and pairs of scissors.
The agricultural department has I'M
dertaken the task of providing vege-
tables and cereals for the orptanages
for the coming year. The method pur-
sued is for each orphanage Of 100 chill
dren approximately, the supply of
vegetables necessary for the coming
year. About three acres for each or
phanage are being prepared to provide
crops of beans, squash, potatoes, musk
melons, watermelons. spinach, toma-
toes, cucumbers, okra, onions and
other vegetables. In addition to this
the large orphanage farms at Sursuri
Vank and Hoolavank are being plant
ed with grain which will supply con-
siderable part of the needs of the or
phanages, although it is far from ade-
quate for the entire years needs.

PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN

The war has, we hope, determined
that peoples driven from their coun.
tries by brutal invasion shall have the
right to return, possess their lands in
established peace, and live their own
national and political life.
For 5000 years the Armenians, who
are probably the most ancient Chris
tian people in the world, have formed
a barrier against the Paganism of the
Orient, and have been for over 500
years the most Industrious and in
telligent people in the Turkish Empire.
The refusal of the Armenians to fight
with Turkey against the Allies. let
loose upon these helpless people a
crusade of torture and murder so
diabolical as to be impossible of de-
scription. Over 100000 of them have
been massacred, their young women
have been dragged into nameless cap
tivity; and of the survivors, / 500 900
are starving to death, dying by the
thousands daily. If we let these peo-
pie perish, we will be completing the
work the Turk set out to do. This for
Americans must be an impossible
thing. At this point the war for US is
not yet over.
There are now 100000 helpless,
starving little orphans in Armenia
with no one to look to for aid but
America. This country has. never had
a greater opportunity than is hers now
in caring for these 100000 children,
and in building in the heart of Asia a
nation, the influence of which will
permeate throughout the continent
With Turkey in unrest, all of Asia is
in turmoil With Asia in arms, Eu-
rope must necessarily become en-
broiled, and when Europe goes to war,
result for her in life-blood and ma
terial resources. If we save these peo-
pie we save the world; let them perish
and the world will be lost to the dread
of war for another generations. Il is
not going to be brief task to make
this nation of children self-supporting
and independent, and to instill into
them idealism of government and life,
but it is a task decidedly worth while
To save the life of one of these
orphans costs only seventeen cents
day or $500 per mchth. The Near East
Relief is incorporated by special Act
of Congress, and is responsible to
Congress for report q it's work. It's
remittances are sat thru the State
Department; it's accounts in Asia are
audited by American Consular Agents.
Wisconsin headquarters are located at
270 Piankinton Arcade, Milwaukee.
/ urge upon every household in Wis
consin, that can spare the money from
its own requirements, to give q help
ing hand to these starving children
to the extent of agreeing to pay each
month the sum necessary to maintain i
one young life. They are truly poor
and they belong to the lowly. Said
the Master: "As We do unto the least
Of these, so do ye unto Me-"
