WHAT AMERICA COULD DO.
This Country Can Accept Challenge
by Voting Billions of Credit to go
Wherever Most Needed.
(Boston News Bureau.)

The question foremost before the
American people is how to defend our
position in holding the Germans to
strict accountability, without interfer-
ing with the supplies of those who
would naturally then be our allies.
The answer is simple; the United
States is in no position to fight with
men or rifles, nor are our men of arms
needed at the present time in the Eu-
rOpean conflict.
The strength of Germany today is
in her isolation, and ability to fight the
defensive battle with her own men and
on her own soil, and her own re-
sources. The strength of the allies is
in their ability to command supplies,
arms, and credit over the globe.
The great danger with the allies is
the possibility of weakness in COM
munications, both as respects supplies
and finance.
Should Germany elect to force the
United States upon the side of the
allies, she would throw into the scale
the financial resources of America,
which would instantly weaken her own
credit at home by the preponderating
power thrown against her, and would
enhearten several nations now fighting
against her whose greatest weakness
is in the position of their supplies and
their financial means.
There is only one way for America to
accept any challenge from Germany,
and that is with votes for billions of
credit to go where it is most needed
in Europe 1t is immaterial to Ameri-
Ca at war whether she gives billion
10 Russia, who was her friend 40 years
ago, or to France her friend more than
q hundred years ago, or to Great Brit
tain. The finance opposing Germany
is today a unit. That unit would be
enormously increased if the relations
between the United States and Ger
many were severed.
People who do not think in financial
terms are disturbed over the inability
of the United States to Immediately
command means for defense. But in
the present situation we hold the keys
for the largest defense. We. are not
the only base for war supplies of Ger
many, but soon will be, with war pro-
fits and war orders, the largest mag
Unable base of credit supplies.
The United States at war can not
only accelerate in very many ways the
munitions now going forward, but can
open the government arsenals and
armories, now practically closed, and
almost instantly augment the machin-
cry at the base of war supplies.
The United States would indeed be
committing a foolishness to enter into
any arrangements that aided Germany
to interrupt the supplies of the allies.
But what most people do not see, is

ROOSEVELT NOT GUILTY OF LIBEL
Syracuse, N. Y, May 22-Twelve
men chosen aS a jury to determine
whether Theodore Roosevelt ibelled
William Barnes when he charged that
he worked through corrupt alliance
by crooked business and crooked pol
itics," and that he was "corruptly al
lied with Charles F. Murphy of Tam
many Hail." today returned a verdict
in favor of the former President. In
the belief of the jury Colonel Roose-
welt said about the former chairman
of the Republican State committee was
true and therefore Mr.. Barnes was not
Iibelled.
= The verdict was returned after 40
ballots had been taken and the jury
had considered for AZ hours the evil
dence which was presented during five
weeks of the trial. Nineteen hours
were consumed before eleven of the
jurymen, who since the second ballot
had stood together, persuaded Juror
No. 11-Edward Burns, a Syracuse mo-
torman and republican-to join with
them in returning a verdict which
Colonel Roosevelt later declared to be
typical American"
For eleven of these 10 hours the
jurors in favor of an unconditional
verdict for the defendant talked to the
one who, while himself favorinG
similar verdict insisted that the court
costs and disbursements should be di-
vided between the two principals.
