Miles of Pendleton Strong testimonial to the patriotism of Miss Mary Frances Isom, city librarian, was unanimously adopted at an unusually largely attended meeting of the Professional Woman's league last Friday evening. Miss Isom was brought into the M. Louise Hunt disloyalty controversy through the fact that she desired Miss Hunt to be saved from embarrassment after she had declined to buy a Liberty bond on the ground that she la a con scientious objector to war. A statement by W. F. Woodward, member of: the library board, questioning Mlas Iaom's loyalty because aha had been active In behalf of her -assistant, has since.' been withdrawn by Mr. Woodward and much evidence has been educed showing that Miss Isom has subscribed heavily to all phases , of patriotic endeavor and all Liberty bond issues and has- been work ing on a half-time basis at the library In order that she might gfva the re mainder of her time to war work. The statement adopted- by the Professional Woman's league, as prepared by a com mitted composed of .. Bertha Stuart, Elisabeth Bain, Gertrude PC Talbot and Grace Torrey,. is in part as follows: - Geaeroaa la War Caatet "We have known s women the ; un obtrusive and unremitting qualities of Miss Isora'a. friendship, have enjoyed; as workers the generosity , of her coopera tion, have participated as citizens in the benefits of the Portland library, so .'ad ministered under her as to have become marked among the libraries of America for its service to the public "Ourselves desirous of sharing to the full extent of our powers the burdens of our . country's present war, we have been stimulated coastantly by the devo tion, to- the national cause, not of Miss Isora's personal energies alone, but of the energies and resources of 1 the Institutions which she heads.
