EXHIBIT E Brief cablegrams, referred to above, which passed between Dr. Smith and Dr. Ament, and were published on February 20th: 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 1-3 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 Letter from Dr. Smith to me, dated March 8th. The italics are mine; they tag inaccuracies of statement: Permit me to call your attention to the marked paragraphs in the inclosed papers, and to ask you to note their relation to the two conditions named in your letter to the New York _Tribune_ of February 15th. The first is _Dr. Ament’s denial of the truth of the dispatch in the New York “Sun,”_ of December 24th, on which your criticisms of him in the _North American Review_ of February were founded. The second is a correction by the _“Sun’s”_ _special correspondent_ in Peking of the dispatch printed in the _Sun_ of December 24th. Since, as you state in your letter to the _Tribune_, “the case against Mr. Ament would fall to the ground” _if Mr. Ament denied the truth_ of the _Sun’s_ first dispatch, and _if the ‘Sun’s’ news agency_ in Peking also _declared that dispatch false_, and these two conditions _have thus been fulfilled_, I am sure that upon having these _facts_ brought to your attention you will gladly withdraw the criticisms that were _founded on a “cable blunder.”_ I think Dr. Smith ought to read me more carefully; then he would not make so many mistakes. Within the narrow space of two paragraphs, totaling eleven lines, he has scored nine departures from fact out of a possible 9½. Now, is that parliamentary? I do not treat him like that. Whenever I quote him, I am particular not to do him the least wrong, or make him say anything he did not say.
