.fLAYS THE FALSE APOSTLES OF PEACE Roosevelt Delivers Stirring Speech in New York on
 "Peace Fanatics

New York, May 3O.-Theodore Roosevelt stood behind Gen. Denel w. Sickle the only surviving division commander of the Civil war, at Grants tomb this after noon and aroused a Memorial day throng 10 applause by a denuiciation of false apostles of peace" He recalled the days Of 1861, when, hc< said,s the veterans he addressed defied the lie told in the name of peace; he voiced his faith in peace enly as the handnaiden of justice and with vigorous gestures he Ltirred the gath ering to cheers with the declaration that unrighteous peace was . greater evil tan war.
 Do not be misIed by the appeals of men who want peace," he said, you men le- call that in the days Of '61 there were cries for peace. but lhere was no pace. There was a man who said that war was the greatest of all evils, but believe thai unrighteous peace is greater evil. You are not to be led by the false apostles of peace, you who de6cd inc lie in '6l when that lie was told in the rs me of peace.
 T want peace with every nation and do
 
 We should not have it for an indefinite period as long as other nations behave themselves and act in such a manner as not to rob us of our self-respect. I do not want to ask stronger nations to be good to us because | fear being hurt by them, but l do ask that big nations be good to us for fear We may hurt them.
 q believe that every honorable meth cd should be used to avoid war, but I will do nothing disneaerable to avert it; nor will I enter mo any agreement that the people of the country would repudf- ate should cause arise for precipatng In war.
 T do not believe that this country should enter into any agreement unless 1t IS prepared to keep it in good faith. Be- ware of any other course. l don't believe in lying, whether it be national or in- ternauional. believe absolutely without reserve that VIC should not enter into any arbitration agreement unless we are pre- pared to make good. l believe there are certain powers with which we could en- ter into unlimited agreements, because, if any difference arose. it could be easily settled by arbitration with that power.
 Arbitration is all right under favorable conditions. If I had trouble with one of you men, We could readily settle by ap- pointing an outside party to arbitrate, be- cause we know that man would not slap either of our faces. if lie does not want to arbitrate. It is just the same with in telna tional arbitration. l believe In arbi- tration only on the understanding that international slapping of faces is not in- cluded. That is genuine peace talk"

Conquest of Meningitis

Edgar Allen Forbes, in Harpjers Weekly.
 Now that the pitiful story of meningitis is ended--for the curative efficiency of the Flexner serum Is scientifically established, and it has taken It's place alongside vac cine and diphtheria anti-toxin-it is pleas ant to recall that the scourge barely out lived century. The first epidemic that we know of broke out in Switzerland in 1895, and exactly 100 years later Dr. simon Flexner was officially Investigating an epidemic in New York city. and laying out a campaign for the methodcal and scien- tific conquest of spotted fever"
 There are no dsheartening pages in the closing chapter of the story of meningitis. Tn September, 1908. pr. Flexner was able to announce that 436 cases of meningitis had been treated with serum in various parts of the world. Of this number 4s cases were properly eliminated from an- alysis, for one reason or another. Of the remaining 3sS cases Gin all of which bac- astrological examination of fluid drawn

GOVERNORS WILL
 SOON BE CHANGED Bandits Attack Mexican
 Town and Kill Many TORREON IS QUIET
Thirty Persons Reported Killed Wher Mob Breaks Out in San Luis Potosi Following Demand for
 Release of Prisoners

Juarez, Mexico, May 30.-Before another month passes 1t is probable there will be changes in the personnel of the govern ors of nearly every state of the Mexican republic.
 This was the declaration of Francisco L. Madero. Jr. tonight. He said the installa- ton everywhere of provisional governors soon would be followed by state cleo tions.
 Originally it was understood that the Maderistas were to name governors of IA states, but that a more sweeping pro- gramme will be considered in future con- ferences between President De La Barra and Madero at Mexico City now seems as- sured. Messages to Madero from his friends in the cabinet report perfect ac- cord with President De La Barra and are optimistic for a successful administration.
 Senor Madero regards the change of governors as essential to the restoration of complete tranquility. The fighting reported today at Choluta, south of Puebla, he attributed to local disaffection, although he is as yet without an official report
 Madero has repeatedly said he could not leave for Mexico City until the provisional governors were installed in Coahuila. So- nora, Chihuahua and Sinaoa. In the first of these Senor Carranza already has been installed and news was received today that the Sonora legislature soon would name Jose Maytorena as governor and Eugenio Cayou as vice governor, probably tomorrow.
 Senor Maytorena is still i'll in El Paso and Senor Cayou will take charge of the government of the state during his ap- |sence.
 From Chihuahua and Sinaloa encourage ing reports have been received as to the efforts of the state legislatures to hold elections.
 Madero said tonight he felt satisfied with the situation and surely would leave Friday for the national capital.
 Madero visited American soil today for the first time in several months He was a guest at luncheon of friends in El Paso and tonight with his staff attended a din- ner given by the El Paso city officials to the United States army officers sta- toned in this vicinity.

Bandits Attack Town

Puebla, Mexico. May S0.-Bandts sev- eral hundred strong who descended upon Choluta near this city last night, de- stroyed government records, sacked stores and burned number of public buildings were routed today by rurales and federal troops. Reports of the number of dead and wounded differ widely. First esti- mates placed the dead as high as forty, but this appears to be an exaggeration. It is said the total dead and wounded will probably not exceed that number. Official reports show three federals and two bandits killed The town was re- ported to be orderly tonight.
 The fighting followed a demand by the bandits, as they are designated by the authorities, for the surrender of the town. Their entrance was opposed by a small band of rurales and a force of towns men.
 A demonstration by workingmen oc- cured here this afternoon, but there was no disorder. The fear of an attack by the Choluta bandits has subsided.

MIR. UNDERWOOD
 MAKES ANSWER
 TO BRYAN ATTACK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ID

and criticised sharply the majority of the democrats who have agreed to sup port the revised tariff schedule on wool and wooden goods. The criticism is con- tained in statement made public through Representative Harrison of New York.
 Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee contented himself with the declaration that despite MT. Bryan's stand the revision tariff would go through the democratic caucus with a two thirds majority.
 The democratic voters" said MT. Bryan, know that all needed revenue can be raised in less oppressive ways and they know the argument that the tariff on wool is proposed as a revenue tariff is merely subterfuge employed because those who employ it are ashamed to say that they favor pro- tection."
 The Nebraskan warned against the drift of democrats toward a protective policy, which, he said, is most marked in those democrats who have among their constituents influential benefici- aries of the system"
 "The republicans want protection on wool because they believe in the prin- ciple of protection" he declared. Let no democratic advocate of a tax on wool masquerade behind the pretense that he is voting for a revenue tariff; let him not add hypocrisy to the sin to which he commits against his party"
 This criticism, apparently directed at the party leaders in the House. evoked no comment except the suggestion that the votes in the cause would disclose that MT. Bryan has only one-third of the democrats of the country behind him.
 MT. Bryan insisted if protection was to be accepted a democratic doctrine that it be accepted openly and applied to everything and to all sections"
 He said there was no reason for fayoritism to few sheep raisers at the expense of all who wear woolen clothing.
 efore the democratic party is fi- nally committed to the doctrine of pro- tection," he declared, it will be neces- sary to consult the voters of the party, and-it may be well to remember that the voters of all parties are braver than the politicians. The republican voters were brave enough to turn out a lot of republican Aldriches; what reason have our democratic congressman to think that democratic voters are less courage ous?"

INTERNATIONAL
 POLO MATCH TODAY
All in Readiness For the Contest This After
 noon

New York, May 30.-With the first con- test In the struggle between England and the United States for the interna- tional polo championship scheduled for tomorrow on the Meadow Brook Hunt Clubs deld. at Westbury, Long Island, odds offered on the final result of the best two in three matches are heavy on the American side. Terms of four and even five to one are being offered against the international cup leaving America this year. American teamwork Is ex- pected to overthrow any individual work and brilliancy which the English players may possess, while experts predicted to- night that the visitors would find them- selves outpointed as well as outplayed.
 Besides the polo experts who will wit ness the games, in the boxes and stands will be the greater part of the social register of New York with a sprinkling of New Haven, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Chicago society Off cal recognition also will accompany the matches with the anticipated presence of George Von l.. Meyer, Secretary of the Navy, a polo player himself.
 Both the challenging team and the de- lenders refrained from play today, but there were numerous practice games by other enthusiasts. During one match August Belmont, president of the Polo association, was tossed and dragged by his pony and had his arm severely bruised. Not long ago MT. Belmont had several ribs injured by a similar aeci- dent.
 Joshua Crane, Jr., of the Dedham Polo club. near Boston, and one time coach of the Harvard football team. will act as referee. Capt. F. w. Barrett of Eng land, who has been withdrawn as back from the challenging team, and c. R. Snowden of Philadelphia will be the um- pires.
 While the matches are scheduled for 4:3O o'clock 1t probably will be nearer before the referee losses in the first ball and shutdown before the final gong sounds.
 The lineup announced tonight is England-No. 1. Capt. l.. St. George Cheape; No ?, Lieut.. A. Noel Edwards; No. 3, Capt. J. Hardness Lloyd; back, Capt H. H. Wilson.
 America-No. 1, Lawrence Waterbury: No. g. J. M. Waterbury; No. 3. Harry Payne Whitney; back, Devereau Milburn.

 from the spinal canal had demonstrated the presence of the diplococcus) 2e5 had recovered and 9S had died. The percent age of recoveries was, therefore, 75 and the mortality was 20 per cent.
 Perhaps the most striking result was shown in the case of babies. Epidemic meningitis has been uniformity fatal to | infants under the age of year. The au- | thor of the famous textbook on the dis eases of children CDr. HolD reports that. of the 20 cases under one year treated in his hospital wards, not one recovered. But in the series of 39S cases treated with tho Flexner serum 22 were infants under 1 year of age, and half of them recovered. | The investigations cost very large amount of money and the loss of some an l imal life-about 25 monkeys and 100 guinea pigs. The eventual saving of human lfs is incalculable. Incidentally, the outcome will probably act as check upon mis- chievous legislation growing out of tho unintelligent sentimentalties of those who would prevent animal experimentation of all kinds. There are still legislators who see the wisdom of preliminary experi- ments being made upon guinea pigs and monkeys instead of on human beings.
