broken to-day, but the dispatches con
tained little TO indicate what was going

Marion, O., Aug. 4 4-Decrying appeals
IN classes as a menace second only to

He asserted it would be unwise for
this country to permit ''our activities
ir seeking for peace i'll the old world
to blind us to the essentials of peace
at home and added that 'ifS America
can be made to forget the attempted
barter of nationality, we'll and good,

matters and all appeal is vain
The address was delivered TO dele
