BURIES NEW-BORN BABE ALIVE

"When the Brown Man Comes

Without Warning"

On Saturday The Times called attention to the rcainess of the Japanese menace to our national safe

' ty in our present state of unpreparedness, and urged a specific remedy—better coast defenses.

That this problem is challenging the attention of the east as well as of the west and that it is no

jingoist bugaboo is indicated by the appearance in the conservative New York Tribune of April 24 of an

editorial article headed "When the Brown Man Comes Without Warning," in which a similar massaf/e

is voiced.

The Tribune accompanies its article with a statement that its accuracy "is vouched for by a ranking

officer in the United States army and a ranking officer in the United States navy." It says:

FATHER

GEORGE

LIVING!

George Washington Is just ia

much alive today as lie was when

he assumed office as the first

president of the I'nited States.

Deputy Prosecutor Selden prov

ed this today by citing Daniel

Webster's definition of memory,

to the effect Hint it is a quality

of the mind which retains

thoughts of events and persons.

Attorney Pendleton, for Paul

llaffer, socialist charged with

libelling the memory of the fath

er of our country, in his opening

address to the jury claimed It waa

impossible to libel a dead man

who had no living relatives.

Joab floes on Ktand.

The slate Immediately con

nected Washington with living

persons by showing that they

were entitled to a sacred memory

of all public heroes.

"I think that the court will

agree that Washington no doubt

existed,'' Selden argued. "Im

mediately upon his death his

memory was passed on down the

generations as a worthy charac

ter.

"It would be all right for a

person to attack his public life,

but I, ;ii lei- attacked his private

life. He held his memory to

ridicule and hatred."

Col. Albert K. .Joab was the

first witness called to the stand

by the defense.

Never Saw Mini.

"Have you ever seen Washing

ton?" Pendleton asked.

"The colonel admitted he

hadn't.

"Are you any relation to lilm?"

he questioned.

"No blood relation, that 1 know

of," said the colonel, "1 haven't,

traced it down."

"Describe the tensation you

had when you read the article,'"

counsel continued.

"I felt as if I had been slapped

In the face. My face got red

with righteous indignation. I

did what, every loyal American

citizen would have done."

When asked to deacrlbe the

difference between a mental slap

and a physical, the colonel color

ed and turned to the court sput

tering he was not there to give

Knglish lesson*.

Hadn't Bead 'Km All.

When asked If had read any

history on Washington, he said

he had read many authoritative

histories exhaustively and re

peatedly. Although he did not

see anything detrimental to

Washington's name, he admitted

there were parts that moved him

to tears.

Pendleton read a number of

references which the colonel ad

mitted he had only partially read

or had passed up in their entirety.

"1 suppose you don't consider

them authorities because you

haven't read them?" Pendleton

ventured.

"That is about It," loab shot

hack.

"You are the only person In

terested in thi* prosecution,

aren't you, colonel?"

"I slum id say not. I have had

countless letters and telephone

rails and expressions of congrat

ulations by word and mouth from

Indignant citizens.
