Boston, Mass , April 27.—Edward Atkinson, the millionaire member of the AntiImperialist League, has frankly admitted that it was he who has been sending anti-imperialist letters and literature to the soldiers in the Philippines “Have you received an intimation of disloyalty in conducting this work’ he was asked “Only from the editorials in cer- tain newspapers “Have youany reason to believe tbat your documente will be stop ped?” “I herdiy think the authorities would venture on such a base at- tempt to prevent eoldiers who are yoters from being informed as to the state of public opinion at home, especially when they are using every effort to get home out of the hell of war in which they kave been involv- ed against their will and against the purpose for which they enlisted.’ “To what extent have your pamph- lets been circulated’ “About 30,000 so far. “Might not this produce ineubor- dination?” “Yes; the kind of insubordination which I hope, with Tolstoi, will ere long pervade ail armies to the end that criminal aggression may be made impossible by the refusal of soldiers who think for themselves ' to carry out orders which are abhor- rent to them as they are inconeistent with any moral, economic or politi- cal principle.” Mr. Atkinson eays he has never made a eecret of hie work. He told Secretary Gage, he esys, and asked Secretrry Alger for a register of troops now in the Philippinee. He did not get the register. It will Cure You While You Wait.
