Inasmuch as the German sea war

retaliatory step against the allies be-
ceuse OF the alleged interference by
the latter with shipments OF food
stuffs destined for the population of
Germany, the growing importance OF
this question was admitted on all

is that the House ought TO commit the

Congress necessarily determines whether

was general to-day that 1t is without
political significance 30 far as Col. Roose-

The Colonel's present attitude as
understood by his friends here IL that he
Is not a candidate for the nomination
for the Presidency. He Is. however. II
Is believed. intensely earnest In his de-
termination to defeat Woodrow Wilson
for reelection. He believes the welfare
OF the couniry demands this and he is
prepared to throw himself into the fight
to accomplish this with all the vigor and
resourcefulnc~s that marked his attack
upon Mr.. TAFT.
Col. Roosevelt has old his friends in
Washington that the defeat OF Wilson
and the elimination of the present Demo-
cratic Administration from Washington
Is the one thing to be accomplished. All
else Is incidental with the Colonel and
he Is willing TO make personal sacrifices
and accommodations to bring this about.
TIL understanding IN Washington is
that Col. Roosevelt would like TO see
Associate Justice Hughes nominated.

that he believes Justice Hughes would be
the strongest man n would be able 10
defeat President Wilson. The Colonel

In this light.

The need Of preparedness. emphasized

A modification OF the system OF training
the state militia was one Of tho meas
urc. advocated by Mr.. Williams.
1T would seem essential" he said.
that every young man. say. between
the ages OF sixteen and twenty. should
receive physical instruction. that every
military resource of the State or nation
should be open to him. either to receive
special instruction as an officer or to
use the rifle ranges and drill floors.
THE more immediate demands OF
municipal or State service could be met
by having a militia organized into one.
two, or. three year groups, but permitting
no further organized service OF this ma
ture, so as to have free training officers.

the next grade to follow. exactly AZ 10

The plain responsibility OF our au-
thoritics to all OF our people is that
the country shall be placed In "A state
Of adequate defence against any pos
sibio enemy. whether on land or on sea.
1t should lie a defence arrangement so
complete that our liberties and the lives
Of our women and children and our
non-combatants are safe whatever may
be the moral or the immoral attitude OF
our enemy. II practicable this insur-
ance should be such that there Will be
no temptation to give offence or to en-
courage those in authority to assume
an attitude OF aggression toward other
nations"
Lack Of preparation In 1898. Mr..
Williams said. cost more lives than did
the Spanish war Itself. There was a
lack of food and OF su!ta Ole clothing,
bad housing and inadequate sanitation,
causing "a degfee OF sickness. suffering
and death which will never be adequately

mining New York harbor, suffered from
