Charges for Thirteen Months Has Tamely Submitted to Seeing Own Men, Women and Children Murdered on High Seas
SCORES PEACE
 AT ANY PRICE
Says Professional Pacifist as Much Out of Place in Democracy as the Pol troon and is No Better Citizen
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

PLATTSBURG, x. Y, Aug. D. Colonel Roosevelt, in an address to- night at the military instruction camp here. declared that for thirteen months the United States has played an ignoble part among nations" in that it "tameIy submitted to seeing the weak. whom we are covenanted to protect. wronged' and had seen our own men, women and children murdered on the high seas without action on our part.
 The former president condemned the government for having not taken the smallest step in the way of pre- paredness to defend our own rights Germany he condemned as utterly brutal and ruthless in it's disregard of international morality" and declar- ed it to be base abandonment of morality for American manufacturers of munitions of war to refuse to make shipments for the use of the armies that are trying to restore Belgium to it's own people"
 Munitions makers who refused to make such shipments should be put" ," he said. "on the roll of dishonor.' He added they should be encouraged so we may be able to hold our own when the hour of peril comes in our our turn.
 His speech follows in part:
 Free citizens should be allowed to do their own fighting The profes- sional pacificist is as much out of place in democracy as Q poltroon him self. he is no better citizen than a poltroon. Probably no body of citizens in the United States during the last five years have wrought so efficiently for national decadence and interna- tional degra adation as professional pa cificists the peace -any-price men who tried to teach our people that silly, all-inclusive arbitration treaties and utterances of fatuous plautudes at peace congresses are substitutes for adequate military preparedness.
 Camps like this are the best pos sible antidotes to hyphenated Ameri- canism. Events of the past year have shown us that in any crisis the hy- phenated American is an active force a~ainst America, an active force fer wrong doing. Any effort to hoist two flags on the same flagpole always means one flag is hoisted underneath; the hyphenated American invariably hoists the flag of the United States underneath. We must all be Ameri- cans and nothing else.
 There exists no finer body of American citizens in this country than those citizens of German birth or descent, who in good faith are Americans and nothing else. The professional German-American has shown himself in the last twelve months as an enemy of this country, as well as to humanity. Recent eX- posures of the way in which these German Americans worked together with emissaries of the German gov ernment-often by direct corruption against the integrity of American in stitutiOns and against America doing it's international duty, should arouse the scornful indignation of every
