ASSERTS She LOST
BECAUSE CATHOLIC
Miss Grace Strschan Says that Was
Reason Of Her Defeat for
N. E. A. Presidency.
ISSUES A SIGNED STATEMENT

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22.-Miss
Grace c. Strachan, district superin-
tendent Of schools of Brooklyn, N.
Y, defeated Thursday for the presi-
dency OF the National Education as
ISOLATION at Oakland, Cal, issued a
signed statement today in which she
cited illustrations of the alleged fact
that the Catholic faith was an argu-
ment used against her.
I'VE have incontrOveTtible proof
that was made the subject of most
outrageous attacks and most un-
worthy tactics" the statement says.
Mrs Ella Flagg Young OF Chicago
wrote in reply to letter from Miss ISath-
crime d. Blake of New York:
Prejudice in California.
." When In Springfield ! met a number
Of schoolmasters. Strange objections
came up that in California, as well as in
Chicago at present there was a decided
bias against Catholics. To my great sur
prise the men said that II was not the
day for Catholics to come forward IN
California, which would cast the ma
jority OF votes
Il came to California and presented my
candidacy In the firm belief that would
be accorded at least fair play. But /
soon had a rude awakening.
1T is not only sad 10 find in this, me
twentieth century, there still remains 20
much of the jealousy, the intolerance, the
injustice OF the middle ages, but It is dis
couraging to find that an association
supposed TO include the leading educators
and mentors OF the children OF our coun-
try and TO express the best. most liberal,
most progressive ideas, there are many
who are so narrow. or so incredulous, or
both, as to believe and to be influenced
by such stories as the following:
Ella F1aRg Young said to a group Of
California women that Miss Strachan's
church was opposed to the teaching OF
sex hygiene TO this / submit that the
National Education association has taken
no stand on the teaching OF sex hygiene
and that no church has taken any stand. >!

ROOSEVELT MUST
HAVE A WAR NOW
Asserts Merely Severing Diplomatic
Relations with Germany
Not Enough.
TIME HAS COME FOR DEEDS"

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. Aug. "a
Former President Theodore Roose-
welt issued the following statement
here today:
Il see this suggested in the papers,
that the German answer to our last
note, that is, the sinking of the
Arabic by a German submarine and
the consequent murder of certain
American citizens, will be adequately
met by the administration Diminishing
Bernstorff and severing diplomatic
relations with Germany. l earnestly
hope the administration will not take
this view for to do so would be a
fresh sacrifice or American honor
and interest.
THE presidents note 20 Germany in
February last was an excellent note, il
only 1t had been lived up to. But every
subsequent note has represented nothing
but weakness and timidity on our side
and the sinking of the Lusitania and OF
the Arabic, the attack on the Guflight
and Falaba and all the similar incidents
that have occurred represent the ar
rogant answers which this weakness has
inspired Germany will care nothing for
the mere severance OF diplomatic rela-
lions.
THE time for words on the part of this
nation has long passed; and 1t is incon-
ceivable 70 American citizens who claim
to be inheriters of the traditions of Wash
ington and Lincoln, that our govern
mental representatives shall not see that
the time for deeds has come. What has
just occurred is a fresh and lamentable
proof OF the unwisdom Of our people in

Owing to the storms on the
