Who was George Davis Herron?
George D. Herron was an American clergyman, lecturer, writer, and Christian socialist activist.

A self-imposed exile from America followed. During World War I, Herron broke with the anti-militarist Socialist Party and filed regular intelligence reports on German public opinion to the American and British governments in support of the Allied war effort.
