Upon their solemn | promise to refrain from ever re- \peating such acts in any manner |the committee deemed it best to |make no arrests at this time, but cautioned these parties, as well as |all others, that hereafter disloyal- ty in@ny manner will be severely | dealt with. | The committee explained in |unmistakable language that dur- | ing a crisis like the present, when | the country faces the gravest situ- | tion in its history, there is no |room in this nation for any but |true, loyal Americans, and that | every act of disloyalty—either. by |word or action—only tends to prolong the war.
