ROOSEVELT"S BRAGADOCIO

The cynical London Outlook says:
Mr.. Roosevelt declares that if the
United States had had an intelligent.
and resolute president and secretary
of State they would have protested
against the German invasion of Bel
gium, the Japanese capure of Kiao-
chow, the sinking of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse and the sowing of
mines in the open sea.
Mr.. Roosevelt, owing to his native
modesty, does not exactly say where
the States could find this hypothe-
tical intelligent and resolute person,
but one is permitted to guess and tU
feel sure that were he in Office and
vote could be caught thereby, he
would denounce the transit of Mer-
curry or the procession of the equinox
es with equal intelligence and resolu-
tion.
eff" Mr.. Roosevelt were president
at this time it is safe to guess that
his discretion, which has always been
the better part of his valor, despite
his thrasonic reputation, would
prompt him to reflect that he was
not dealing with weak and helpless
Colombia when his bristles began IT,
"echinate," as former Senator Bourne
would say, against the big Powers
engaged in the European war-Coi-
