ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

Teddy as a Knocker.-In 1912 l
liked the Bull Moose platform better
than either the Republican or Demo
cratic. l had attended the Republi-
can national convention as a news
paper man, was at Orchestra Hall the
night the Progressive party was born
and attended that convention, too. l
liked the Bull Moose platform better
than the Democratic platform and
was in doubt as between Wilson and
Roosevelt.
This doubt finally resulted in a de-
cision to take a chance on the Pro-
gressive platform, because it gave
promise of getting down closer to the
people than either of the old parties
had done during my lifetime At the
time it reminded me of the emotional
and almost religious politics that
swept Golden Rule Sam Jones into
the mayors Office of Toledo as an
Independent.
AS between Wilson and Roosevelt,
l had more faith in Wilson. AS be-
tween the Progressive and Demo-
cratic parties, thought there was
more promise in the Progressive
platform and the enthusiasts who
had thrown over their old party and
had started anew, burning their po-
itical bridges behind them.
However, Wilson was elected and
the Democratic party came back into
power; and have watched with in
terest Wilson's earnest efforts to
make his party as progressive as it
can be made; and even though l
didn't vote for him felt that the best
thing to do was to support him in
every forward move he made.
wanted to see him go as far as
he could with his party, although
convinced that the time would come
when he couldn't hold the reaction
ary and progressive elements to-
gether, and then there would be a

later on-for progresslVes (Wltn the
small p) will soon or late get to-
gether in one party, and reactionarles
in another-and hold the boards until
the Socialist party, or some other
party representing the working class,
takes the lead.
But l can't see it with George w.
Perkins as the Bull Moose angel
Perkins of the steel trust, the harves-
ter trust, j. P Morgan & Co., and Big
Business generally. Nor can l see
it with Teddy trying to advance his
own game by knocking Wilson.
President Wilson has accomplish
ed much, considering the reactionary
element in his own party with which
he had to contend. He hasn't been
as radical or progressive as 1 would
have liked, but he has gone as far
as he could with the light he had and
the tools to work with.
For while real progressiVes out
side of the Democratic party lent aid
and Encouragement. But now
Roosevelt is leading them into the old
party hostility of the outs against the
ins. Instead of giving credit for
whatever good Wilson has done or is
trying to do, Roosevelt is picking
flaws and apparently looking only for
faults. That is the mental attitude
of knocker.
No matter who is president, be-
lieve in encouraging him to do all
possible good he can do for real
democracy; and when we've got him
to go as far as he can, then take up
somebody else who will go farther.
Roosevelt has learned much from
Socialists, but hasn't yet learned how
to be persistent fighter for princi-
pies he believes in and. a good waiter
while he's fighting.
Wilson may fall down on the home
stretch, because of the party load he
is carrying, but Pm for holding his

SCORES ARE FLEEING ..
FROM CANN0N'S ROAR
Refugees Say They Didn't Know
So Many Guns Existed.

London, Aug. 26-From all parts OF
Belgium refugees are. arriving at o.
tend, says the correspondent of the
Reuter- Telegram company. Some
come from distant Charleroi and other
towns along the .Sambre, where they
say they were being deafened by the
roar, of artillery, more guns being in
action than they thought existed.
These people, of all classes, are now
on a level, the rich, or those who
were rich, finding it just as difficult
to get the necesaries of life as the
poorest. The hotels are crowded by
persons of means who, having lost
their baggage, have nothing but what
they are wearing.
Many young Bruxellois, who belong
ed to the civic guard, but who were
disarmed and deprived of their uni
forms, are going about in the cheap
est clothes, purchased in the back
streets of Ostend.

Mounted Men Suf-

TAKE ENTIRE BATTERY
Cars Cavalry Said to Have
Made Brilliant Charge.

London, Aug. 26.-Telegra phing
from st. Petersburg the correspond
ent of the Reuter- Telegraph company
says:
THE principal Russian losses in
Prussia up to the present have result
ed from the determination of the rank
and file of the Russian army to get at
the enemy. Although the mounted
guards in the center have suffered
heavily the infantry advances have
been more than satisfactory. The en-
envy is virtually cornered in Eastern
Prussia.
mounted officers arriving in St.
Petersburg in relating their stories of
the front dwelt on the fear displayed
by the Germans of the Russian cav
airy.
military experts say the equip
ment of the Germans is excellent and
that their artillery is good, but that
their rifle shooting is deficient as re-
CARDS accuracy.
"They add that the Japanese were
Infinitely superior in this respect in
the Russo-Japanese war.
1T is stated that in one case a
Russian squadron charged battery
and captured all it's guns. The Ger
man soldiers are said to have dis
carded their rifles and their officers
to have thrown off their swords and
even their helmets"

Makes First Speech
to Lords.
PREDICTS TERRIBLE .
LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE
All Parts Of British Empire Will
Furnish Men.

London, Aug. 26.-Lord Kitchener
made his first speech as minister of
war in the house of lords. !.
He told his hearers that this war
undoubtedly would strain the forces
of the empire and entail big sacrifice.
He laid emphasis on the fact that
his position in the cabinet involved
adherence to neither party. <
1.-The terms under which l am serv-
ing are the same as those under
which some of the finest portions of
our manhood, now so willingly STEP
ping forward to join the colors are
engaging. he said. "That is to say
my term of Office is for the duration
of the war, or for three years if the
war should last longer than that. It
has been asked why this period has
been limited. It is because if this
disastrous war be prolonged, and no
one can foretell for a certainty it's
duration, that after three years OF
war others will take our places and
IL.
"Our expeditionary force has taken
the field on the French northwest
frontier and advanced in the neigh
borhood of Mons Tin Belgium). Our
troops have been in contact with the
superior forces of the German in.
vader for thirty-six hours -.
Predicts Heavy Casualties.
Continuing, Lord Kitchener pointed
out that the fighting in Europe would
result in greater casualties than the
campaigns Great Britain usually en-
gagged in. 49,: -. 7,7.s ....y
while other countries engaged in
this war, under their systems of cem-
pulsory service, brought their full re-
sources into the field, we, under our
national system, have not. been so
compelled. Therefore, we still have
vast reserve to draw from the re-
sources Of both the mother country
and the dominions,' he said.
"The response which has been made
by the dominions abundantly proves
that we have not looked in vain to
these sources of military strength
and while India, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand are sending power
full contingents the territorials of this
country are replying Loyalty. '-..
"The 100000 men asked for in the
first place have virtually been pro-
cured.
"The empire with which we are at
war has called to the colors almost
it's entire male population. The prin-
ciple we shall observe is this: That
while the maximum force undergoes
constant diminution the reinforce
ments we prepare will flow over stead
lily and increasingly until we have an
army in the field which in numbers
will not be less than in quality and
not be unworthy of the power and re-
sponsibility of the British empire"

official channels. - - =: <.e.....
Jules Jusserand, French ambassa-
dor, who paid his visit to the state
department after his return from
France, thus summarized the fighting
In Belgium based on his dispatches: .~
1--WE did not succeed, that is true,
but many of the reports as to- our
losses are exaggerated. Two of our
divisions suffered, but the Germans
suffered also, especially the Prussian
guard. Our movement was an Of
|fensive one. In view of possible fail
ure we chose certain line of defense
and on that line we stand.
1T was an offensive tact which fail
ed, but we knew it might fail and
proved our line of occupation. Our
army practically is intact

British Soldiers Display Goodness in
Battle at Mons

sends the following: -
II have been talking with British
officers from the front, who tell of the
wonderful GOODNESS and daring of the
British soldiers in the fighting around
Mons. .
"The shooting Of the British in
fantry on the firing line was wonder
full. Every time Germans head
showed above a trench and every
time the German infantry attempted
to ruch position there came
steady, whitening rifle fire from the
khaki clad men lying in extended
edrmation along the wide battle 'front.'

Premier Asquith informed the men,

the withdrawal of his troops to a new
position was effected successfully. It
was not accomplished without consid-

by the enemy, who, however, was

1T is not desirable to say anything
more at the present moment, except
that the field marshal reports that, in
