Following are the statements signed Thursday by the five men contradicting the statements they are supposed to have signed previously: "Alfred Underbill misrepresents me in the statement he has printed about Frank T. Strayer. Underbill wrote the statement himself and 1 never intended to say that Frank Strayer was unpatriotic or Pro-German.

"Whim Stravpr was talkinz about

Germany's strong government he was.

trying to make the people realize mat we must do everything in our power to whjp her. "I thought Strayer's speech at Dalton to be a good patriotic talk. (Signed) DAVE BELCHER. . Witness: E. M. Campfield, Byram C. Robbins, Will W. Rejler. "1 was present and heard the speech made by Frank T. Strayer at Dalton, Indiana. I never told Alfred Underbill that Mr. Strayer made any unpatriotic statements. Mr. Strayer's speech at Dalton was a loyal, patriotic speech and the speech of a true American. Any statement Mr. Strayer made in his speech about the kind of government German has, was made and intended to show the necessity of the United States preparing and using great efforts to win the war.

Mr. Strayer's speech was a loyal, i patriotic, true American speech made j at a patriotic meeting and was warmly ! applauded by his audience. It had no unpatriotic statement whatever in it. j Mr. Strayer's references to Germany's , government were solely to show that the United States should and must use ; strong efforts to win the war and do j all we can to help our country.

Bales. i , Witnesses to signature of Lewis V. Bale: Clement V. Carr, Byram C. Robbins. "I heard Frank T. Strayer make a speech at Dalton, Indiana after the war was declared. During the speech Strayer spoke of Germany having a strong organized government, and Joe Davis interrupted him, and said he didn't want to hear a German speech. I believe that Strayer wa3 trylnij to make the point that Germany was a powerful country and we would have to do everything in our power to defeat her. "Alfred Underhill tame to me for a statement as to what Strayer said. I told him at the time that I didn't think Strayer was unpatriotic, and

when Underhill has a statement j

printed that I think Strayer made an unpatriotic speech, he misrepresents me. I looked at the paper Underhill had me sign, but I couldn't read it because I didn't have my glasses. In the statement I signed I didn't intend to say Strayer made an unpatriotic speech, and I didn't say 'that citizens told him he could stop. Underhill has taken advantage of me and has done Strayer and me an injustice. "I regard Mr. Strayer's speech as thoroughly patriotic. (Signed) LEROTi HARTER. Witness: Will W. Roller E. M. Campfield. "Alfred Underhill came to me for a statement about what Frank T. Strayer said in a speech at Dalton.

Indiana, and I tola mm strayer sam Germany Bad one of the best equipped nations for fighting in the world. Underhill puts in his printed statement from me only part of what I told him, and by so doing he does Strayer and no both an injustice. I have found out that Underhill wrote the statements attributed to me, and I nevr read them for I didn't have my glasses and couldn't read them. I -don't think Strayer is unpatriotic and I didn't tell Underhill that he was. ASH BURY WOOD. Witnesses: Cora J. Wood, Will W. Reller, E. M. Campfield. Profiteering in Ice to Be Stamped Ont
