In a brief reply to Dr. Smith's Open Letter to me,
I said this in the Tribune. I am italicizing several
words-for a purpose:
Whenever he (Dr. Smith) can produce from the Rev. Mr.
Ament an assertion that the Sun's character-blasting dispatch
was not authorized by himz, and whenever Dr. Smith can buttress
Mr. Ament's disclaimer with a confession from Mr. Chamberlain,
the head of the Laffan News Service in China, that that dispatch was a false invention and unauthorized, the case against
Mr. Ament will fall at once to the ground.
EXHIBIT E
Brief cablegrams, referred to above, which passed
between Dr. Smith and Dr. Ament, and were published on February 2oth:
Ament, Peking: Reported December 24 your collecting
thirteen times actual losses; using for propagating the Gospel.
Are these statements true? Cable specific answer. SMITH.
Statement untrue. Collected I-3 for church expenses, additional actual damages; now supporting widows and orphans.
Publication thirteen times blunder cable. All collections received
approval Chinese officials, who are urging further settlements
same line. AMENT.
Only two questions are asked; "specific" answers
required; no perilous wanderings among the other
details of the unhappy dispatch desired.
EXHIBIT F
