He's Glad War Is Over Wants

"The French morale had been broken,

officer with the Fifth Iteglment of ma

rine who went Into that terrible light

viction that he belonged to an Invlncl

spirit that give the Fifth Regiment tho
power to drive back the boche hordes
and save Paris.
" never heard of a German who
would stand up against an American
marine In a bayonet duel. Our men,
the equal of any soldiers In the world,
nre not bloodthirsty.
"In a front-line trench n man forgets
civilization and sinks to the level of
barbarism. 1 am glad the war Is over
and, want to forget It."
Captain Petty arrived in New York on

PRO-GERMANISM
PREACHED IN U.S.
i
S o m c Teutonic Pastors
Who Joined Army Now
in Atlanta Prison
AIDED IN PROPAGANDA
By the Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 14.
German Lutheran pastors were In
structed to preach pro-German sermons
before the United States entered the
war. Captain Lester, of the army Intelli
gence service, told the Senate ' propa
ganda investigating committee today,
and some of the pastors who joined the
army later and continued preaching fa
vorably to Germany now are In the At
lanta penitentiary.
On the other hand, Captain Lester
said, other Lutheran ministers were
wholly loyal nnd aided in giving the
Government information. He said repre
sentatives of the larger German Lutheran
synods informed the Intelligence service
that unfortunately some ministers were
disloyal and that steps were being taken
to get them oul of the' church.
Describing unsuccessful cfforls of Ger
man propagandists among American
negroes, the witness said word was
passed among the negro recruits that if
Germany won and occupied the United
States a portion of the country wouiu
be turned over to them exclusively.
The witness told the committee that
the German Government for many years
had subsidized Kropp Institute, a Luth
eran theological seminary, graduates of
which went to all parts of the world to
preach In favor of Germany, with their
expenses paid by the German Govern
ment, ho said.
Cablegram's fiom William Bayard Hale
to the New York American late In 1910
and eurly in 1917 were read by Captain
Lester to support his assertions that
Hale's utterances were "pro-German,
antl-Engllsh and antl-Amerlcan." Many
of these messages were sent arter the
severance of diplomatic relations be
tween the United States and Germany
through German wireless to Tuckerton.

SHARES NO SALVE
FOR P. R. T. CRITIC
Stotesbury Shown Wrong
in Advising Coniplain-
ants to Buy Stock
SKIP-STOP IRE ROUSED
The remedy suggested by 11 T. Stotes
bury for curing complaints against the
Kapld Transit Company's cars will not
quite do.
His contention that purchase of the
company's stock will cause the buyer
to cease complaining is disproved by
Simon Werthelmer, of 2107 Venango
street.
He has seven hundred shares of stock
in the company and in his complaint
Is vigorous and to the point. He de
clares that the skip-slop system is a
bone-headed arrangement and the state
ments on thp propaganda cards Issued
by the company constitute an; insult to
the intelligence of the people.
It was In the courBe ot an address
before the Five o'clock Club that Mr.
Stotesbury made announcement to the
effect that purchase of 1000 shares ot
stock would cuie peiso,ns of complain
ing.
He was speaking then of a woman
who complained against the grinding
wheels ot the trolles, but not even a
Mitten against the ear will soften the
wall against the skip-stop.
Mr Werthelmer Is specially opposed
to tho skip-stop nt Twenty-second ana
Venango streets. Hecently his brother's
automobile was damaged as a result of
that skip, he says. He went to the Of
fice of the Uapjd Transit Company, but
received little ' satisfaction, he said,
despite the announcement on the cars
that the public should "Know- the Truth."
MAIN LINELADSJIT HARD
Drafted Men in Thick of War's
Last Battle
Main Line soldiers who had gone
through the iill at Camp Meade were
In the midst of the fighting In France
when the armistice was signed. This Is
attested by more and more frequent re
currence of their names lately n tho
casualty lists and by unofficial repot ts.
The fnct was made more plain when
Captain James I. Donaghy. chief of
police of Ijower Merlon township and
chairman of the Ardmore draft board,
received a letter from Charles Douglas
Thornian. of Xarbcrth.
Thornian said fully one-half of a
large contingent of Main Line mer. who
went to camp last April had ' ben
wounded, gassed or killed In service on
two fronts.
"We are expecting to reach the States
py tne nrst oi me jear, as tne seventy
ninth Division Is not Included In the
army of occjpatlon," he writes.

Report Says Any Jury Would
Have Ordered Prosecution
Under Espionage Act
By the Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 14. Further prn
ceelngs In the case of Senator Robert
M. La Follette, of Wisconsin, looking to
his exbncrntion, censure or expulsion
from the Senate as the facts may war
rant, are recommended In a minority
report from the Senate Privileges and
Elections Committee presented In the
Senate today by Senator Pomerene, of
Ohio, Democrat, chairman pf the com
mittee. The leport charges1 tho Wisconsin Sen
ator with violation ot mo espionage act
by alleged misstatements In hla address
before tho Nonpartisan League In St,
Paul, Minn., September 20, 1917, The
report opposes the pending resolution
lecommendlng that the proceedings bo
dropiied. 4
The statements alleged to have been
made by Senator La Follette are de
clared by the report to bd a "slander"
on tho Government and sufHc!ent cause
for conviction In criminal proceedings.
The speoch Itself. the report says.
Would have been sufficient evidence for
Indictment nnd conviction under the es
pionage act
Specifically, the report urges that a
"full and complete" hearing bo ordered
by the Senate to the end: i
First That the Senator from Wis
consin can be completely exonerated
if the testimony Justifies it. ,
Second. That he may bo expelled.
If the testimony Justifies It.
Third. That the Senate may past
a vote of censuro or administer such
other punishment as the testimony
may Justify.
"This Is our duty," the minority re
port says, "a duty we owe tot the Senator
from Wisconsin, to the United States
Senate Itself and to the public. More wo
ought not to do and less wc cannot be
cannot be expected to do."
Senator La Follele In his St. Paul
speech, the report says, "wholly Ignored,
the real causes which led to the war",
and Bavs that "these statements could
not have been made by accident or slip
of the tongue because the same thought,
If not the very samo language, is
reported several times within the space
ot a few minutes."
"The constitutional right of freedom
of speech cannot be pleaded In defensen
ino reiiort continues, -f reeciom or speech
never Justified the slander "of the chas
tity of a woman, or tho honor of a man
or the causo of a country when In tho
