Campaign Against u. S.

When the federal grand Jury il
Washington, d. c., indicted 80 persons
in July, 1912, and January of this
year, on charges of oonspiring to sab
otage the morale of the U. S. armed
forces, number of organizations
were listed in the indictments as
agencies which had been used by the
conspirators to promote their sedi.
tious intrigue. Named among these
organizations was the Constitutional
Educational League, a propaganda
agency headed by Joseph P. Kamp of
New York City, whose un-American
activities have been periodically ex-
posed in the newsletter, The Hour
The Hour now reveals that since
the day that the department of Justice
handed down its Washington indict-
ments, Joseph P. Ramp has not only
continued without interruption but
has intensified the descriptive opera

League. Within the last few weeks,
moreover, Ramp has launched a vi
cious new propaganda campaign,
which is aimed at discrediting the war
leadership of the Z. S. government
and which, if successful, can have the
sole effect of undermining the morale
of the American people.
