RoosEYELTs COMMENT

Says Wilson'S Policy is Akin TO That
[ of China
Syracuse May 12-Asserting that
a policy Of milk and water cannot
combat a policy of blood and iron, and
grimly suggesting that there are
some things worse than war, Col.
Roosevelt yesterday commented on
President Wilson'S Philadelphia
speech. @eF
He announced his belief that as a
reprisal for the sinking of the Lusi-
tania all commerce with Germany
should be suspended and commerce
of every kind encouraged with the
rest of the civilized world. Col.
Roosevelt based his statement on
Mr.. Wilson's assertion that "there
is such thing as being too proud to
fight"
81 think China is entitled to draw
all the comforts she can from this
statement" he said, "and it would be
well for the United States to ponder
what the effect upon China has been
of managing her affairs on the theory
! thus enunciated. If the United States
| is satisfied with occupying, some time
in the future, the international posi-
tion that China occupies, then the
United States can afford to act on
this theory.
! 81 very earnestly hope that we
will act promptly. The proper time
for deliberation was prior to sending
the message that our government
would hold Germany to strict ac-
countability if it did the things which
| it has now actually done.

New York, May l2.-There was a
near-riot on the Scandinavian-Amer-
lean liner Frederick VIII when the
news of the sinking of the Lusitania
reached the ship by wireless, accord
ing to stories told by passengers yes
terday.
There were a number of German
Americans on the vessel who wanted
to hold celebration. Other passen-
gers, whose sympathy was with the
Allies, and still others who were neu-
trail heretofore, said there would not
be a celebration while they were on
the ship.
Captain Thomson finally cleared
the atmosphere to some extent by
putting ban on the celebration. The
Frederick VIII came from Copenha-
gen, taking the route to the north of
the Shetland Islands.

Venice, May 1.-THE newspapers
of Vienna justify the sinking OF the
Lusitania on the ground that she
was virtually an auxiliary cruiser. "
The Neues Wiener Tageblatt says:
1.-The Lusitania was really exactly
the same as an English battleship. -"
The Neue Freie Presse says:
"The sinking Of the liner is equiv
alent to a naval defeat, and perhaps
one result of the incident will be the
collapse in America of faith in Eng

THIS WOMAN HAS

few women who have reached the adj
vanced age OF SO years that can say:
81 never had q hat on my head yet
this is the true assertion of Mrs. Polly
Lewis, who lives two miles west.
Mrs. Lewis also can say she never
rode on railroad train.
She is one or tne old residents OF
Gentry county. having come here from
Ohio. in 1858 in wagon.
Since that time she has resided in
the same community, having left this
county only once, when she visited a
son in an adjoining county.
That Mrs. Lewis never travelled or
invested in millinery goods has not
been due to lack of means, but is
simply because she had no desire to
ride on the cars and had no wish to
exchange her bonnet for hat

To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
