Because he reccntiy submitted a let- ter ¢ from Amos Pinchot and others of ailesed pacifist oreanization, Serator Stone said he had been vio- jently atticked in newspapers and pic- tured as a “slacke thizer and even a “These have ‘hounded me.” he because 1 presented this communication and said I might have seme remarks later.” e said the “storm” acainst started merely from presentation of a rca sp: Peacs petition from “humble, repre- | sentative Americans.” charge that he a German 1thizer was said by Senator Stone o ludicrous for specific de- nial” He said@ he had not a drop of blood and that his Enziish a is clearer than the Britisa king's. “T am willing to o to war to pre- serve the civilization of the Enzlish spetking people of the world ii for a moment I believed their civilization was imperilled,” continued Senator tone. “I did oppose having the TUnited States enter the war as a bellizerent and every day I live confirms me in the wisdom of that action.” But now that this country is at war, he added, he would do everything within his power to aid it in carrying the struggle to a successful termina- tion. He asserted that since war was declared he had supported every war measure introduced in congress and denounced editors who had called him an obstructionist and an ally of Ger- any Of * Missourf’s foreign population.

They had rather expected further discussion of the time for despatching replies The entente representatives in V: inzton .ealized, however, thar h- Presi- dent Wilson must have had rome good | reason for acting so quickly. Specu- lation ascribes the move to a desire to impress favorably the great Russian convent.on at Moscow while that body still is in a plastic and re~eptive state.

No rejoinder from the vatican is expected here in the immediate future. Comment from the press of Europe, including Germany and Austria, is waited with interest.
