Mr.. Wolf criticiscs the conduct Of
Henry Ford in starting his peace
ship at a time when the allies needed
the support OF the United States and
the conduct OF the son Of the auto
mobile manufacturer in eVuding mill
tary service during the war.
THE dastardiy statements pub
lished weekly are based on NAL e
and ignorance, NJ. Wolf writes. He
continues:
FORD SADDENS nIN.
after battling for sixty years and
more for equal rights for all men. ir-
respective OF nationality, creed or
color. l am saddened that at the end
OF the world war. which has been
waged for democracy, that in the
land o. Golden Opportunity, the land
Of Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt
and Wilson, men like Henry Ford are
found who disseminate race and re-
ligious hatred.
1T seems incredible that here where
liberty OF thought and freedom OF
conscience are the dominating factors
of governmental action, and of re-
ligious equality, that such pertidious
snd un-American propaganda should
be allowed and yet the facts of these
,illainous attacks. based on forged
documents cannot be gainsaid
who is the dwarf that has reused
the Lion of Judah?
"An individual who organized n
group of pacitists and sailed to Et~
rope on a mission of folly, which aid
ed the enemy at time when the
allies needed our support.
RAPs EDsEL's CONDUCT.
"Thc offspring OF this dcsccndan,
tvcry much dcscendedl IA fcudal
age managed to escape the draft IN
perfect unison with his and his
fathers conduct. az is so well stated
BY the late Theodore Roosevelt.
And who Is accused and rcvilcd?
The people Of the Bible. tho people
that gave civilization its great teach
or The people of the Psalms and
Job Tho people who lighted the
dark countries with tho orifame of
the ono God idea. The people who
have survived all tho persecution and
pogroms tanned into flame by So
called Christians. Yes, and VIC will
survive this cowardly, stupid attack.

the purposes OF governing tho world,
but TO inspire II by our example, our

WOMEN FEAR
ANOTHER WAR
Believe Huge Military Appro.
priations by Congress Por-
tend New Conflict.

The United States is preparing for
another war.
Such at least Is the belief Of the
women OF this country, who during
the past week have been denouncing
Americas Ambitious military pro-
gram" More than a score OF ma
tional women's organizations have
, announced their intention OF going
before Congress to fight the vast ap-
propriations asked for the army and
navy.
EXPLAINS wOMEN's STAND.
The new Congressional program as
viewed by women's organizations i1
as follows. according to Mrs. Harriet
Connor Brown, prominent woman lead
er, wife OF Herbert ID. Brown, chief Of
the Governments bureau OF efficiency:
"a big army and navy Is already
authorized. The army reorganization
act will be amended to provide fer
Automatic peace-time conscript'on' OF
our boys. The next war will then
come soon. Some OF us wilt be great
ly enriched, but most OF us will he

tHoSe piSSteHi 'h"t
we emulate Great Britain's policy OF
continual warfare in foreign parts.
our ruling class sitting tight at home
like hers, receiving the feudal taxes
and tributes of the world"
APPEALS FOR UNITED ACTION.
Mrs. Brown has appealed to all
women for united action against
military legislation" Such support
already has been pledged by many
national organizations. who announce
that their Legislative representatives
will be instructed to lobby against a
military program.
Tho National Womens Trade Union
League yesterday afternoon pointed to
the fact that only l.01 per cent of the
total Of Ave and one-half billion dollars
OF expenditures provides for in the sup
ply bills for 1920 We're spent for human
welfare and development purposes as
distinguished from military and
commercial purposes"
LITTLE FOR ECONOMICS.
The money spent during the past
year upon the special needs of wo-
men and children, the league en-
phasizes, was but 56-100,000 of the
whole amount appropriated, and the
amount devoted to the study OF labor
conditions In general was given as
being about the same number OF hun.
dred thousandths. For general edu-
cational work, * was declared. the
sum spent w.s a fraction 'ess than
Tor either OF the two foregoing.
The new appropriation estimates
NOW awaiting action by Congress do
not better this proportion. according
TO the women. In fact. they say, the
civil establishments will receive still
less while the military appropria-
II ions are to be largely increased.
