CONFESSES TO CRIME
2 WERE SENTENCED FOR

Raymond Martlew, twenty five
years old, who, the police say, con-
fessed to a crime for which two inno-
cent men are serving sentences, is
being held at Walter Reed Hospital
pending the action Of the Elmira,
N. Y, authorities. The police at that
city gave no intimation Of what Mart
lew was waited for and merely
asked If he would return there with.
out going through the formality of
being extradited. The police at Buff
falo, N. Y, wired Inspector Clifford
l.. Grant, chief of detectives, that
they would write a letter today in
regard to Martlew's case.
Martlew walked into the First pre-
cinct station house Saturday night
and confessed that he had held up a
man at pistol point and robbed him
Of a small sum. He is also alleged
to have shot the victim in the foot.
Shortly afterwards two men were ar
rested and were convicted of the
crime. After being questioned close
ly at detective headquarters he was
removed to Walter Reed Hospital
and was placed under special guard.
1t was said at the institution that he
is a psychopathic patient.

Look at the arguments Of these

Not one Of these men advocated

Not an affirmative word fell
from their voluble mouths.
Not one single tribute to the
might and power and majesty of

Not one affirmation of our great
place among the nations and Of
our inherent right to the freedom
Of the Pacific and all other seas.

patriotic word, not one confident
word. not one high-spirited Ameri.
can word found utterance In any
of these arguments for the ratifi-
cation OF this treaty.
How could there be such q word
In such speeches?
The treaty itself Is the cowardly
result of admitted threats.
The very sponsors Of the treaty
were not ashamed to confess pub
licly that il had been made to
placate too threatening imperial
ism.
All that the trained seals could
say in defense Of the cowardly
thing was that unless we accepted
this alliance, the British and
Japanese imperialisms would
strengthen their alliance against
us.
In other words. we must sign
on the dotted line or look out for
what England and Japan will do

insult that has ever been offered
to our America.
That no element of meanness
might be lacking. Lodge had the
insolent impudence to threaten
Senators who vote as true men
and real Americans should vote,
with the political vengeance OF
the Administration. He declared,
in 80 many words, that the Ad-
ministration would carry the mat
ter to the polls. If this cowardly
pact was defeated, and would then

ern Senator who voted mo sur.

Well. Lodge would do better to
save his breath for his own de-
fense next fall and not waste 1t in
threats against better Americans.

three among many who will hear
something drop. with the justly
celebrated duh thud; the very first
time the people who rejoiced over
the defeat of the Wilson league
get a chance to show what they
think OF the Hughes-Root- Balfour
league.
The Administration need lose no
sleep worrying over Senators who
do their duty by their people and
the country. 1t can worry to more
use over the political fate of it's
trained seals next fall and it's own
political fate in 1924.
But I have leaped from soup to
nuts. Let's get back to the NUT
tons.
The effect of the shuffling. eva
sive and cowardly defenses and ex-
cuses offered by the trained seals
advocating the treaty has been to
shake the confidence Of several
Senators who have been content to
believe that Messrs. Hughes, Root.
Lodge and Underwood were too
good and too wise to negotiate
anything but a good treaty, and
who were prepared to vote for rati-
fication upon that ground alone,
without any careful examination.
These men confidently expected
that the spokesmen for the treaty
would produce such convincing
arguments and such an array
Of facts and reasons that the
opponents of ratification would
be put to rout at the first onset.
The futility and the ridiculous
ness OF the treaty-makers' de-
fenses and excuses; the stammer-
ing, halting, and confusion of the
trained seals and the ludicrous
figures they cut under the rapid
fire Of cross examinations, rep
artee and ridicule that shot from
the ranks of the all-American
Senators, have made strong i'm

defeating ratification were good
before Lodge and the other agents
Of British and Japanese imperial
ism presented their defense Of
this cowardly surrender to those
two international highwaymen,
then thev must be better TODAY.
The financial powers have
brought to bear all their enormous
direct and indirect pressure.
The international Bankers are
determined upon this alliance Of
our P0"ublic with these two mill
tarisr eand imperialisms.
They are very powerful. They
have infinite resources. They are
absolutely unscrupulous.
They have neither country, race
or religion.
They know only their own sell
fish interests.
They have won many Senators
to their bad ends.
But nevertheless there are hon.
est and patriotic men in the Sen.
ate, whom money cannot buy or

We shall see, Mr.. Lodge, whether

that today they are holding q spc-

They realize that among the ex-

is among Senators such as Kellogg
