Former President Roosevelt
Declares Administration
TameIy Submits to Wrong.
COMMENT ON ATTITUDE
TOWARD WAR IN EUROPE
Advises People to Support President
Only So Long as He Stands
By Country.

pLATTSBtRG. " Y. August ID
Theodore Roosevelt in an address last
night at the military instruction camp
here declared that for thirteen months
the United States had played an
ignoble part among the nations" in
that it had "tamely submitted to seeing
the weak, whom we had covenanted to
protect. wronged" and had seen our
own men. women and children muir
dered on the high seas without action
on our part.
The former President condemned the
government for having mot taken the
smallest step in the way of prepared
ness to defend our own rights Ger
many he condemned a s utterly brutal
and ruthless in its disregard of inter
national morality" and declared that it
would be base abandonment of
morality" for American manufacturers
of munitions of war to refuse to make
shipments "for the use of the armies
that are striving to restore Belgium
to it's own people"
Munition makers who refused to make
such shipments should be put, he said.
on a roll of dishonor." He added that
they should be encouraged so that we
hour of peril comes to us in our turn"
His speech follows. in part:
Scores Peace at Any Price.
Free citizens should be allowed to do
their own fighting. The professional
pacifist is much out of place in Il
democracy as is the poltroon himself,
and he is no better citizen than the pol
troon. Probably no body of citizens in
the United States during the last five
years has wrought so efficiently for ma :
tional decadence and international deg
radiation as the professional pacifsts,
the peace at any price men. who have
tried to teach our people that silly all
inclusive arbitration treaties and the
utterance of fatuous platitudes at
adequate military preparedness.
Under the conditions of modern war
fare, it is the widest nonsense to talk
of men springing to arms in mass IN
less they have been taught how to act
in mass and how to use the arms to
which they spring. For thirteen months
America has played an ignoDle part
among the nations. We have tamely
submitted to seeing the weak, whom we
had covenanted to protect. wronged.
We have seen our own men, women and
children murdered on the high seas
without action on our part During

this time our nation has not taken the
smallest step in the way Of prepared
ness to defend our own rights. Yet
these thirteen months have made evil
dent the lamentable fact that force is
more dominant now in the affairs of the
world than ever before; that the most
powerful of modern military nations is
utterly brutal and ruthless in its dis
regard of international morality, and
that righteousness divorced from force
is futile

Duty Shirked, He Declares.

Under The Hague convention, it was
our bounden duty to take whatever
action was necessary to prevent and. if
not to prevent, then to undo, the hid
eous wrong that was done to Belgium
We have shrkcd this duty. We have
shown 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, 1T
would be base abandonment of mo-
rality to refuse to make these ship
ments Such refusal is proposed only
to favor the nation that sank the
Lusitania and the Ara bic and commit
ted the crime against Belgium, the
greatest international crime committed
since the close of the NapoleOnicy con-
tests a century ago.
1T is right for a private firm to fur
nish arms to the policeman who puts
down the thug. the burglar. the white
SLAYER and the blackhander. 1t is
wrong to furnish the black ha nder. the
burglar and the white SLAYER with
weapons to be used against the po-
liceman. The analogy holds true in in
ternational life. Germany has herself
been the greatest manufacturer OF mu-
nitions of war to be supplied to bellig-
erents. Let furnish NUM-
lions to the men who, showing courage
we have not shown, wish to rescue
Belgium from subsection and spoliation
and degrade ton. And let US encourage
munition makers that we may be
able to hold our own when the hour
of peril comes to US in our turn, as
assuredly it will come if we show our
selves too neutral to speak word
on behalf of the veal who are wronged,
and too slothful and lazy to prepare to
defend ourselves against wrong. Most
assuredly it will come to US if we sue
coed in persuading great military ma
lions that we are too proud to fight,
that we are not prepared to undertake
defensive war for our own vital inter
est and national honor"
Limit Placed on Loyalty.

York tonight Col. Roosevelt made the

Two Forms Suggested.

Originating in the bureau of mines,
the movement for erecting memorial
is to extend to all those who benefited
by the labors of DR.. Holmes. Many sug-
gestions have been received as to a
memorial. In the main two types of
memorial have been suggested-some
sort Of stately memorial and some
form of memorial such as a scholar
ship.
Advocates of the latter memorial point
out that only this week the Colorado
School of Mines has endowed the
Holmes chair of safety engineering,
and that some form of national me-
mortal such as this would be the most
suitable to perpetuate the memory Of
DR.. Holmes.
A memorial tablet will also be placed
in the new bureau Of mines building
nearing completion at Pittsburgh, and
a portrait Of the dead director will be
hung in the directors room in the local
office.

is announced. Hennen Jennings, chair
man; Van H. Manning. acting director
of the bureau of mines, and d. w.
Brunton, comprise the committee.
This committee will confer with min

All Should Be American.

Camps like this are the best posi-
Bile antidotes to hyphenated American
ism. The events of the past
year have shown US that in any crisis
the hyphenated American is an active
force against America, an active force
for wrongdoing. The effort to hoist two
fla IS on the same flagpo1e always means
that one flag is hoist"d underneath: and
the hyphenated American invariably
hoists the flag of the United States UNI
derneath. We must all be Americans
and nothing else.
There exists no finer body Of Ameri-
can citizens in this country than those
citizens of German birth or descent
who are in good faith Americans and

an enemy to this country as we'll as to

way in which these German Americans
have worked together with the ennis

often by direct corruption--a Ga1nst the

against America doing its international
duty, should arouse scornful lndlsna-
