PRESIDENTS SPEECH
AT ARLINGTON Is SEVERELY
CRITICISED.
An Administration Authority Asserts
That It Was Deliberately Made
and Was the Result Of
Long Consideration.

Washington Special to Chicago Record
Herald.
Washington, June 1.-President Roose-
velt's speech at Arlington on Memorial
Day has attracted much adverse criti-
cism in Washington. A high administra-
tion authority said today:
"The President Is quite prepared for
storm of Democratic wrath over his
Memorial Day speech at Arlington. He
made the speech after. long considera-
ton. because he thought that the time
had arrived for the commander-in-chief
Of the army to speak plainly and he will
follow that speech up with others on the
same line If ne thinks that the situation
requires further treatment.
THE President has no thought of at
lacking the South on the subject of lynch
ings. and he was careful not to mention
the South.
Just so long as the opposition in Con-
gress attacks the entire army. just SO
long will the President be in favor of
defending the army against its ira
ducers. even IL the issue has to be car
ried into the approaching campaign"
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky said
today:
II have no criticism to pass upon any
public speech the President may make,
1t is a matter of Indifference to me what
he says. If, however. he considers that.

ministration. 1t is necessary to refer to
lynching In this country in Justice to the
atrocities said to have been perpetrated
by the army In the Philippines, 1t Is but
poor justification to say to those who are
In the opposition You are another
Il am not willing to concede that the
President had In mind the Southern
ings in his speech. Lynchings are quite
as frequent in Colorado, Kansas and New
York. and other sections of the country,
as they are In the South

Under the circumstances, 1t was high
ly improper for the head of the nation to
indulge in political utterances which had

earlier part of his address. l regard it as
inopportune for him to select such a
time and place to impress his ideas of
Imperialism upon an audience assembled
in honor of the dead

II have no comments to make upon the
Presidents speech. What I have to say
on the subject-and l expect to have

Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
said:
There was more sectionalism and a
stronger appeal to war prejudices in the
Presidents speech at Arlington than In
any speech that has been delivered in
the Senate. I have no desire to criticize
the President, and 1t was with a feeling
of profound regret that l read the senti-

Five National Toasts.

A story is told that recently in Los
Angeles five prominent gentlemen of
foreign birth CHANGED to meet. One
was Russian. one Turk, one a
Frenchman, one an American, and
the other an Englishman. The gen.
tleman became bosom friends, and
finally a champagne supper was pro-
posed at which each gentleman, to be
in keeping with the times, was to
give a toast to his native country, the
one giving the best toast to be at
no expense for the wine. Here are
the toasts given:
The Russian-Here's to the stars
and bars of Russia, that we never
pulled down."
The Turk-''Here's to the moons of
Turkey whose wings were never
clipped"
The Frenchman Here's to the
cock of France, whose feathers were
never picked"
The American-'sHere's to the stars
and stripes of the United States of
America, that never tIailed in de-
feat"
