I filed with the Department of Justice. The corrections were wholly immaterial and did not change the legal aspects of the ease. There was no question of loyalty or disloyalty discussed or Involved. the sole Inquiry being whether Maj. Stahlman was an alien enemy or a naturalized American citizen. When the Lusitania was sunk. I believe a flagrant and just cause of war against Germany existed. and have held to that opinion ever since. I voted for the declaration of war against Germany. and for every measure that President Wilson had advised and file Congress has enacted into law for the vigorous prosecution of the war. and have been familiar with the war spirit In Itennessee. and the attitude of our public men in regard to it from the day the declaration of war was made.
