American Pacifists Are
Attacked by Roosevelt
At Plattsburg Camp

PLATTSBURG. N. Y. Aug. 8.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt got a warm well
come when in company with General
Wood. he paid a visit to the camp of
military instruction for business and
professional men.
Accompanying the colonel was his
daughter, Mrs. Robert Derby, whose
husband is a member of the camp.
Colonel Roosevelt spent practically the
entire forenoon yesterday in his inspec-
ton tour and in shaking hands with
personal friends among the ''rookies. -
More than once during his inspection he
turned to General Wood with words Of
enthusiastic praise.
At night the colonel addressed the
members Of the camp. Excerpts from
his address follow:
Feeling of Contempt.
The worst of all feelings to arouse
in others is the feeling of contempt.
Those men have mean souls who desire
that this nation shall not be fit to de-
fcnd its own rights and that its sons
shall not possess high and resolute
temper. But even men of stout heart
need to remember that when the hour
for action has struck no courage will!
avail unless there has been thorough
training. thorough preparation in ad-
vance.
The greatest need for this country is
a DTbI CluSS navy.
Next We need thoroughly trained
regular or professional ormy of 200. .OOO
men II we have universal military SER
vice and Of at least 100000 men II we
do not have such universal military
service.
AT present q single army corps from
Germany or Japan (Which II subtracted
from the efficient fighting forces of
either would net even be felt) could at
any time be fcrried across the ocean
and take New York or San Francisco
and destroy them or hold them to
ransom with absolute impunity and tho
United States at present would be help
less to do more than blame some scape..
our people as whole. In falling to
prepare in advance against the day OF
disaster.
Must Do Own Fighting.
But the professional navy and the
professional army are not enough.
Free citizens should be able to do theii
own fighting. The professional pacitist
Is as much out Of place in a democracy
as Is the poltroon himself. and he Is
no better citizen than the poltroon.
For thirteen months America has
played an ignoble part among the ma
tions. We have tamely submitted to
seeing the weak. whom we had COW
enanted to protect, wronEed; We have
dered on the high seas without action
as a substitute for action.
During this time our Government has
not taken the smallest step in the way
rights.
Under The Hague convention It was
our bounden duty to take whatever ac-
ton was necessary to prevent and. II
not to prevent. then to undo. the hideous
wrong that was done to Belgium. We
have shirked this duty. We have shown
a spirit SO abject that Germany has
deemed it safe to kill our women and
children on the high seas.
'As for the export Of munitions of
war It would be a base abandonment
of morality to refuse to make these
shipments. Such a refusal Is proposed
onlv to favor the nation that sunk the
Lusitania and the Arabic and commit
ted the crime against Belgium, the
greatest international crime committed
since the close Of the Napoleonic con-
tests a century ago"
The Washington times., 1915-08-26

tile. Reliance upon the hish-sound-
ing words unbacked by deeds Is
proof of a mind that dwells only In
the realm of shadow and sham.
Inasmuch as we as a nation have
done nothing whatever for nation
al defense for the past thirteen
months. the time when during all
our history 1t was most necessary
to prepare for national defense, It
is we'll that private individuals
should have tried. however insult
ficiently. to provide some kind OF
a substitute for proper govern
mental action. -.
Ever since the Spanish American
war, when General Wood was asso.
ciated with Colonel Roosevelt in the
Rough Riders. the strongest possibl,
has existed between the
two men,. When Mr.. Roosevelt be.
came President. he violated all prece
dent by jumping Wood over all
heads and making him chief OF stafi
Of the army. :.

WOOD FACES REBUKE
FOR SPEECH BY 7. R.
Continued from First Page.)

President. A few months ago Secre-
tary Garrison called on him for an ex-
planation Of his activities in connection
with the organization Of the so-called
Legion of Honor. which Colonel Roose-
welt and other advocates Of military
preparedness had launched for the pur-
pose of enrolling a reserve army of
veteran soldiers.
Matter Passed OFF.
At that time General Wood was as
sailed by Bishop Greer. of New York.
who charged shat the officer was using
the headquarters post at Governors Is
land as a central point from which to
circulate propaganda of the Legion of
Honor. General Wood, when called on
for an explanation. denied the charge.
and the matter passed off without Sc
riOus consequences.
Yesterdays demonstration at Platts-
burg. however, has aroused friends of
the President to vigorous protest. They
charge that General Woods action in
permitting Colonel Roosevelt to use a
Government military reservation as a
place from which to hurl attacks at the
Administration smacks of insubordina-
ton.
Following is the particular passage
in the speech of Colonel Roosevelt that
has aroused bitterest feeling:
For thirteen months America has
played an ignoble part among the
nc tons. We have tamely submitted
to seeing the weak. whom we had
covenanted to protect. wronged; we
have seen our men, women, and chill
dren murdered on the high seas
without action on our part. We
have used elocution as a substitute
tor action.
During this time our Government
has not taken the smallest step in
the way Of preparedness to defend
our own rights. Yet these thirteen
months have made evident the la
mentable fact that force Is the now
more dominant In the affairs Of the
world than ever before, that the
most powerful Of modern military
nations Is utterly brutal and ruth

morality. and that righteousrASs.

Concert and Telephone

Here is = story that was heard during the In
terval at Il promenade concert at queens nan
by an American visitor TO London:
A concert agent had sent to the printer the
programme for big concert he was organizing
AZ the last moment very great parsonage died
The programme already in type and the
proofs passed, but as as the news reached
him the agent decided that Chopin's Funeral
March" must be included q sign OF respect
among the items performed by the orchestra.
He telephoned 20 the printer to ask him 10
make the addition.
q want you TO add one more item" said tho
agent "Can you manage it?'
The printer said he would try.
What do you want to sdd?" he said. Not
much ! hope
NO no; not much" said the agent. 81 only
want YOU TO put in al the beginning of the pro
cramme Funeral March by Chopin" And he
carefully spelled Chopin so that there should be
no mistake.
"All right" replied the printer. 81 think we can
just manage IT,"
The agent heaved a sigh Of relief, but when a
copy Of the programme was thrust into his hands
on the night Of the concert his hair stood on end.
His message il appeared, had got bit added
over the telephone. and at the beginning Of the
programme the Mortified agent discovered that
the prirter had made the concert open with:
