STONE MAKES
PEACE SPEECH
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 12.—
Chairman Stone, of the senate for
eign relations committee, interrupted
' the war tax debate in the senate re
cently, with a peace speech. He denied
i that he ever had a thought of intro
' ducing a peace resolution and crltl
I cised newspapers for imputing such
a motive.
Because he recently submitted a
' letter on peace from Amos Plnchot,
; Senator Stone said he had been vio
| lently attacked in nwspapers and pic
‘ tured as a "slacker, German sympa
i thizer and even a German spy.”
“These publications have hounded
! me,” he said, “because I presented
! this communication, and said I might
i have some remarks later.
! "is not there some sinister influ
ence behind this sort of thing?” he
asked. “A senator is now in danger
of being pilloried when he says or
does anything which gives ofTense to
; romeone.” '
The charge that he is a German
sympathizer was said by Senator
Stoneto be “too ludicrous for speci
fic denial." He said that he had not
a drop of German blood and that his
English ancestry is clearer than the
British king's.

1,000 Miners on Strike
CORAM, Cal., Sept. 12—More than
