S. 239.
II Justice Pitney, writing the opinion of the Court/^ held that the de- fendants knowing the contents of the pamphlet were to have attributed to them an intent, and justified the conclusion that they attempted, "to bring about any and all such consequences as reasonably might be antici- pated from its distribution," and that "whether the printed words would in fact produce as a proximate result a material interference with the recruiting or enlistment service, or the operation or succes...s of the forces of the United States, was a question for the jury to decide in view of all the circumstances of the time and considering the place and manner of distribution."
