WANTS HARD

President Adore ses Confer

BEST GlJARlAN TEE OF PEACE.

Expresses the Hope That This coun-
try Will Never Have to Go to Mar,
but Should the Occasion Arise the
United States Navy Should Be Pre-

I'll He Quits Fighting.
~ Newport. R. T., July 3d. President
Roosevelt, after an adventurous night
trip in the fog from Oyster Bay, dur
Ing which his yacht, the MayfoWer,
ran down and sank a lumber schooner,
arrived here at 9:45 a. m. and later in
the forenoon at the naval war college
addressed conference Of nearly one
hundred naval officers, representing
all branches of the service, to con-.
slider plans for new American battle.
ships. President Roosevelt. made a
stirring appeal for. hard hitting
navy. .z
Il want a first class fighting navy
or no navy at ALL said the president,
because first class fighting navy is
the most effective guarantee Of peace
this nation can have. :.
There are always a number of
amiable and well meaning people who
believe in having a navy merely for
coast defense. "A purely defensive
navy would be almost worthless. To
advocate such navy is like advocat-
ing a school Of prize fighting in which
no one should do anything but parry.
IT hope this nation will never have
to hit. We should do everything that
honorably can be doule to avoid trou-
bic. But when we do go to war that
war is only excusable if the navy is
Prepared to Hammer Its Opponent
until he quits fighting. And you can,
hammer your opponent if you wait
hammer you first. For the protection
of our coasts we need Notifications so
that the navy may be left free to
stretch out and destroy the enemy
That is its function" E.
President Roosevelt declared that
even if the United States had no isl
and possessions the need for an ag-
gressiye naval policy would still be
present. .The Monroe doctrine" he
declared, chad almost fallen into dis
grace and contempt until the Amer
lean nation began to build up it's
navy"
Discussing the, question of emigra-
tion the president declared that the
American people, have right to say
who shall come and dwell among
them. IT,
1T is our duty he declared, "to
exercise that right in a way calcu-
lated to provoke the least friction. If
we choose to say who shall not come,
however, we must be in trim to up
held that right in case anybody chal-
lenges it.

GIRL MURDERER
IS BEHEADED
Daughter Of Mayor Of Freiburg,
Saxony, Executed.

Freiberg, Saxony, July 2S.-Grete
Beier, the eighteen-year-old daughter
OF the mayor of Freiberg, was be-
headed some time between dark and
dawn in punishment for the murder
Of the man to whom she was engaged

The executioner of this young wo-
man reached the city after dark He
carried thin, long box containing
the axe with which he did his work
and brought with him also handbag
with a suit of evening clothes The
wearing Of this garb is an official re-
quirement of the somber occasion.
The preparations for the execution at
the prison had been completed and
the man did his work quickly and pri-
vately and departed from Freiberg as
quietly as he came.
The executionerg is an anonymous
person sent down here from Dresden
on the announcement that the king Of
Saxony had refused to pardon Crete
Better for her crime.
me personality OF this young girl
and her thoughtfully arranged murder
Of her fiance, civil engineer named
Prefaer, attracted international atten-
ton. The social position of her FAM
lily was very good and she became en-
gagged to Herr PREFER, rich young
professional man. At her trial it was
brought out, and she admitted with.
the utmost simplicity, that she visited
her fiance's house one evening, gave
him cyanide Of potassium In drink
she mixed for him and then, to make
sure OF his death, she shot him In the.
mouth with his own revolver. -

TO the Last has been published
These are three OF the seven verses:
When the ployer flaps
Ger the idle plough.
And the woodpecker taps
On the rotting Dough:
When the starved rock pecks
At the tight-stacked grain,
And the tattered nest
Flecks the leafless lane;
Then--then will you love
Me, and still no less
When the grass waves above
My dreamlessness?
