ROOSEVELT READY
TO HELP IN CRISIS
Pledges Loyalty to National Ad-
ministration in Situation
Growing Out of War.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Pledring his
loyalty to the national Administration
in the present war crisis, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, in addressing the conference
OF Progressives here yesterday after
noon, said:
II regret that Of recent years the
policies which / and those like me be-
lieved to be essential for the welfare,
the honor, and the greatness of the
American people have not been more
faithfully carried out. But all that is
past now. and IS neither here nor there
in this crisis. At the moment the Unit
ed States, as one of the great nations
of the world, faces a crisis which has
already involved in war almost all the
other great nations OF the world
Friends, we have our troubles here, but
let us be thankful beyond measure that
we are citizens of this republic and that
our burdens. though they may be heavy,
are far lighter than those that must be
borne by the men and women who live
In other and less fortunate countries.
Il. for one, will act, and am sure
am stating your feelings when I say
eressive party will act throughout this
crisis primarily as American citizens,
and viii work hand in hand with any
nublic man, with any public servant
and with any and all private citizens
who. in good faith and disinterestedly,
do ali that is possible to see that the
United States comes through this crisis
To conserve the honor and the interest
OF her own citizens and, so far as may
be, to help in securing peace and justice
for all the nations of mankind"

DISCUSS MATTER OF
AMERICAN REGISTRY
Senators Concerned Over Prob
lem Of Transfers by Ship
Owners.

The extent to which the legislation
permitting foreign shipping to enter
American registry viii result In the &C.
tual registry of vessels under the Amer
lean flag is a question no one in Wash
ington attempts to answer definitely.
Those who have studied the situation
point out that much win depend on the
length of the war in Europe; on the
question whether the English merchant
marine continues TO ply the sea freely.
along with the French merchant ma
rine. and on the question Of how sharp
becomes the demand for vessels TO
carry foodstufYs and other supplies from
America to Europe.
Senator O'Gorman has informed the
Senate that he had Information that
some foreign vessels would enter Amer
lean registry. but he gave no details.
One of the transfers of importance
likely to be made II In the vessels of
the United Fruit Company. These yes
sells are Amertcan-owned. but fly the

prise a large tonnage.
II German seaports are blockaded.
many members of Congress look to
see American capital take over a num-
Der of German ships before long.
The situation which would make for
heavy registry of foreign vessels un-
der the American flag would be one in
which the German navy would be about
an even match for its opponents over
a long period. This would operate to
curtail heavily the sailings of English,
French, German, and Russian ships,
and probably Dutch. In such a situa-
ton there might be a rush to register
under the American flag
