Excerpt from American State Trials, Vol. 13: A Collection of the Important and Interesting Criminal Trials Which Have Taken Place in the United States, From the Beginning of Our Government to the Present Day; With Notes and Annotations
Much more reprehensible than the german-ameri can treasons in the great war and absolutely without a shadow of excuse, was that class of American citi zens, not even of German descent, who, born under the Constitution of the United States, but members of Socialistic and kindred organizations, sought to over throw our Constitution and substitute a government of a class. Though they advocated force and violence to attain their ends, they tried, in our struggle against the Hun, to check and obstruct in every way possible the military operations of the government, under the pre text that their consciences would not permit them to take the lives of their fellowmen, even in war. The destruction of life and property had no horrors when directed against the United States but the use of force in the defense of our country, they declared they con scientiously objected to.'
