Nations Greatest Heritage.

I'VE cannot afford. therefore, to let
the rumors of irresponsible persons
and origins get into the atmosphere of
the United States. We are trustees for
what I venture to say is the greatest
heritage that any nation ever had, the
love of justice and righteousness and
human liberty. For. fundamentally,
those are the things to which America
is addicted. and to which she is de-
voted. There are groups of selfish men
in the United States; there are coteries
where sinister things are proposed, but
the great heart of the American peo-
pie is just as sound and true as it ever
was And 1T Is a single heart; 1t Is
heart of America. It is not a heart
made up OF sections selected out of
countries.
so that what try to remind my
self OF every day when l am almost
overcome by perplexities. what I try
TO remember is what the people at
home are thinking about I try to put
myself in the place Of the man who
goes not know all the things that
know. and ask myself that he would
ike the policy of this country to be
Not the talkative man. not the parti-
san man, not the man that remembers
frst that he is a republican or demo-
crat, or that his parents are Germans
or English. but who remembers first
that the destiny of modern affairs CEN
tiers largely upon his being an Ameri-
can first of all.
IF permitted myself to be a partisan
IN TINS present struggle I would be un-
worthy to represent you. If ! permit
tea myself to forget the people who
are not partisans 1 would be unworthy
to represent you. I am not saying that
| am worthy to represent you, but
40 claim this degree of worthiness that
pelore everything else, I love America"

The Presidents Address

II am deeply gratifed by the gener-
Gus reception you have accorded me.
1t makes me look back with a touch of
regret to former occasions when 1 have
stood in this place and enjoyed a
greater liberty than is granted to me
today. There have been times when l
stood in this spot and said what 1
really thought, and l pray God that
these days of intelligence may be ac-
corded me again. But I have come
here today. of course. somewhat re-
strained by sense of responsibility
that I cannot escape. For l take the AS
ISOLATED Press very seriously. know the
enormous part that you play in the af-
fairs, not only of our country, but of
the world. You deal in the raw ma
terial of opinion. and. if my convic-
tions have any validity, opinion ulti
mately governs the world.
ut is, therefore, of very serious
things that ! think as I face this body
of men. l do not think of you, how
ever, AS members of the Associated
Press 1 do not think of you as men
of different parties or different racial
derivations, or of different religious
denominat tons. ] want to talk to you
az to my fellow-citiZens of the United
states. For there are serious things,
which, as fellow citizens, we ought to
consider. The times behind us, gentle
men. have been difficult because what
ever may be said about the present con-
dftion of the worlds affairs. it is clear
that they are drawing rapidly to a
climax, and at the climax the test will
come, not only of the nations engaged

Roughly speaking, news Is the hrst re-
port of an event of public and current
interest. News signifies nothing IN the
world except personal service. A man
has as much right to say what shall
be done with q scoop as Caruso has
to the use of his voice. To receive
everybody who publishes paper to
membership would be to destroy the
association itself, because while there
is much that may go into newspaper
that may be mere routine. as market
reports. still every man wishes to make
his paper a distinctive publication. and
if there is nothing distinctive IN us
general news report newspaper VIII
become indifferent and undertake TO
gain a distinctive quality of something
altogether aside from the budget OF
news furnished by the ASSOCIATED
Press and it seems to me that an es-
sential condition of maintaining a Co
operative news gathering asSociatiSii
is that that association snail nave the
right to determine its own member
ship.
"While the associated Press has al
ways had a very large proportion OF
the leading newspapers of the country
it has never had them all. III IL nad
them all, or substantially all. then the
that it is monopoly IN the
very nature of the case passes out OF
view. The general plan of tho orSa NJ
zation has been approved by the At
torney General allowing the aSsocIa-
ton to discriminate and to determine
its own membership.
Profession and Practice Harmonized.
But the Attorney General found
that in one respect. namely. in the
power given to the board of directors
to require members to desist from pur-
chasing news from any other agency,
you had perhaps trenched upon the
law The effect of that opinion and
your action here this morning IN
your bylaws to conform to
that opinion has been to bring. your
professions up to the standard of your
pra ctices. And now profession and
practice are in harmony with the law,
and you have before you, I hope,
long and unbroken career Of usefulness
to the public and prosperity for your
selves"

from Turtle bay that turns out to be
faisehood, at any rate in what 1t is
said to signify. and which. if you could
get the nation to believe it true. might
oiStu1o our equilibrium and our self

have known something to go out
on the wires as true when there was
only one man or one group Of men who
could have told the originators of the
report whether it was true or not. and
they were not asked whether 1t was
true or not. for fear it might not be
true That sort of report ought not to
90 over the wires.
There is generally. If not always
somebody who knows whether that
thins is so or not. and i'll these days.
above all other days. we ought to take
particular pains to resort to the one
small group of men or to the one man,
if there be but one. who knows
whether those things are true or not
fhe world ought TO know the truth.
nut the world ought not at this period
of unstable equilibrium to be disturbed
by rumor, ought not to be disturbed by
imaginative combinations Of circum
stances, or. rather. by circumstances
stated In combination which do not be-
long in combination. For we are hold
ing-not I. but you and gentlemen en-
gagged like you-the balances in your
hand. This unstable equilibrium rests
upon scales that are in your hands. For
the FOOD OF opinion. as began by say

MAI. PULLMAN GIVES
VIEWS ON CITY POLICING
Addresses PetWorth Citizens Associ-
alton Asking Support for AIDE
quate Pension Fund.

Maj. Raymond W. Pullman, superin-
tendent of police, last night at a meet
ing Of the Petworth Citizens Associa-
ton, held i'll the basement of the First
United Presbyterian Church. New
Hampshire avenue and Randolph
street, presented his views on city
policing.
ut should be the aim of the police
to prevent as we'll as to detect crime,'
he declared, land hereafter considera-
ton is to be given the officer who
maintains perfect order on his beat,
rather than to him whose record is
measured by the number of arrests he
in the matter OF advancement. The
department is now aiming to get the
Maximum of efficiency out of the pres
ent force" Discussion of the need of
more police helps but little. he said
The wise thing to do is to make the
most of what there is. The best in
terests of the community are served
quite a s well by warning and mild re-
preston at times as by rushing an Of
fender Off to the station house."
Ask Citizens to Cooperate.
In this connection, Maj. Pullman de-
cried the alleged practice of police
men in making arrests to swell the
police pension fund. He doubts, he
said if the INSTANCES where this is
done are many. but admits the posi-
bilities. and for this reason lie OK
pressed the hope that the citizens as
sociationS generally would cooperate
with the effort that will be- made to
have Congress appropriate a specific
sum for police and firemen's pension.
He also referred to the movement for
the fall, when the people generally Will
be asked to give their attention to tho
need Of precautions against fire
Urges Adequate Pension Fund.
The meeting Of the association was 4
brief one, because of the address Of
Maj. Pullman that came at It's close. A
resolution was adopted condemninR
the present method employed to pro-
vide pension fund for the police and
firemen, and urging adequate ap
preparation by Congress to assure
proper care to the men in every case
of disa bility. whether from age or ac-
cident. The association also made
provision for the usual Fourth of July
observance in Petworth, and general
committee fas appointed for that pur-
pose, with r. +. Adams as chairman
A resolution was adopted providing
for soliciting subscriptions from tax
payers to help defray the general eX-
penses of presenting to the joint COM
mittee of Congress the side of the Dis
trict in the half-and-ha controversy
| raised in the last Congress. A vote
of thanks was given the Women's
Club of Petworth for it's assistance in
the recent entertainment of the Dis

London, Aug. 12.-While the Rus
slams are fighting desperately to ex
tricate themselves from the Gordon
of Austro-German troops, which i:
steadily pressing them more closely
in Poland, their allies are working
feverishly and with considerable
success to open the Dardanelles
through which they hope to pour in
to Russia much needed munitions OF
war
Since Saturday night when fresh
British forces were landed on the
Gallipoli peninsula there has been
almost continuous fighting on the
KCithia road. In these operations
the Australians and New Zealanders
have cooperated with new forces to
the north.
Following successes on the Krithia
road and those to the north the Aus
tralians and New ZsaIanders took
the offensive yesterday and succeed
ed in trebIing the area formerly held
by them. Their comrades to the
north made no further progress,
however.
simultaneously the French battle,
ship st. Louis attacked the Turkish
batteries on the Asiatic side of the
straits, which had been bombarding
the allied position on the peninsula
and put five guns out of commission.
These actions are believed prelimin-
airy to more ambitious attempt
which has been planned by the An
glo-French commanders to sweep the
Turks before them.
Very heavy losses which already
have been inflicted on the Turks
have had a discouraging effect on the
Ottoman troops, according to reports
from Greece.
ConstantinopIe, on the other hand,
declares that in the region of Ari
Burnu an allied attack has been re-
pulsed with heavy losses in men,
guns and stores. and thaE in the
same region and near Seddul-Bahr,
Turkish attacks have netted them al
lied trenches.
Although Enver Pasha, Turkish
minister of war, admits the allies
have landed $4,000 fresh men, he
seemingly is optimistic as to final
results. Two regiments of the newly
landed forces, according to Enver
Pasha, were virtually annihilated,
only sixty men escaping. These
We're captured. The war minister
added the Turks are entirely con-
WINGED they can cope with every sit
uation.
