...Brussels that evening Editor Gilbart found a plant, managed to get out one edition. Next morning, with his flock, he fled from Brussels as the German drive pushed on. Over roads choked with refugees and troops, bombed and machine-gunned by Nazi planes, La Meuse's party struggled toward the French border...

Settle, trailing 19 dusky members of his Gethsemane Baptist Church, marched into Cleveland's station WGAR and asked permission to sing a few spirituals. The Rev. Settle and his flock were only fair.

The interventionists in those days worked so successfully that in two years they transformed a neutral, peace-loving undergraduate body into a flock of wild militarists. The techniques they used show a sickening similarity to the methods of our contemporaries...
