hibited.
Commander Edward ]. Barrett G

lodged the protest, explained the LIZ
gion's attitude in a letter written t
Thos. P. Hayden, an official of tn
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemel
He said:
zone hundred and thirty thousan
Wisconsin soldiers went out from thi
state to defend it's capitol building
and everything they represent, frol
the Red flag of Anarchy, as we'll g
from the encroachments of the Impel
ial German government. Five thou:
and never came back-thousands {
others were wounded and are in no!
pitfalls with disease which will evel
tually cause their deaths-others al
mentally unbalanced and can new
. hope to again become useful citizen
With these sacrifices staring those WI
!, served in the face, we would be dereli,
!, in u duty if we did not protest viz
, orously against a woman who was col
i. victed of espionage, an INSTRUCTOR
: the draft, and guilty of using the mo.
) violent language against the mother
of these soldiers and against the so
