Hen Wood for my action, for Which
he had not and for which the) knew
he had not the smallest responsibility,
was not excusable,
As for what the Administration
through Mr. Harrison aaya of m
speech. I again call utteiitcm to the
fact that i never mentioned the name
of the President and that I never
spoke of the Administration in th.
speech Hut I did make the stiong-st

I did in the strongest way ask that
we nf this country ac t as Americana
and as nothing else and that we as a
nation prepare so that no outside
Power may he able to bring shame
or dishonor upon tis.
it is an unconscious commentary by
the Administration itself ,cn Its own
attitude that the Administration
should at once denounce a pie i for
preparedness as an assault on the
administration of the War liep.m-
ment under the Administration and
should object to the offleers and the
enlisted men of the United Stales
