Paul Revere Sentinels appear at Senate Neutrality Hearing. Washington, D.C., May 2. A bit of color was injected today into an otherwise drab session of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations which is conducting hearings on neutrality, when a group of people, known as the Paul Revere Sentinels, appeared to state its views. A spokesman for the committee accused the press of withholding truths about the present international situation and the forces back of it, and warned the committee against allowing itself to become the mouthpiece of the Capitol. The group is opposed to allowing its children to become cannon fodder in another World War. From New York, this group of women are, left to right: Mrs. Lily Reed, Miss Josephine Keane, Mrs. Helen McAllister, Mrs. Marie Hubert, and Miss S.E. McGrath. Mrs. Reed and Mrs. McAllister are both mothers of sons.
