WILSON'S WEASEL" WORDS
Presidents Memorial Day Address
Contained Too Many Qualifying
Phrazes.

St Louis, Mo, June Theodore
Roosevelt made three speeches in this
city yesterday in which he advocated
universal military service, declared
the German-American alliance was
guilty of moral treason and anti-Amer-
icanism and denounced President VIII
sons Memorial day speech as weak.
Cheering crowds greeted him
MIR. Roosevelt maintained that Pres
ident Wilson used weasel words
which sucked the life out OF his
phrases and made them meaningless.
When Mr.. Wilson speaks of 'uniyer-
sal voluntary training, he asserted,
"he draws a parallel to a truancy law
which would make universal attend
ance by children at school obligatory
to all except those who wanted to keep
away
Mr. Roosevelt addressed the largest
crowd at the City club in the after
that allowed trampling on American
rights could not be tolerated, and that
there could be no Americans who were
not Americans TO the heart. II de-
nounce the German-American alliance
with all my SOUL he shouted. THE
acts OF its leaders constitute moral
treason to our government and our
people"
Moral treason to the United States
was charged by Col. Roosevelt against
German Americans who seek tO make
their governmental representatives
act in the interests of Germany rather
than this country. He characterized
the German.American alliance as "an
anti-American alliance but added
that he believed that its members mot
only do not represent but scandalously
misrepresent the great majority OF
real Americans of German origin
Urging the motto America for
Americans" for all Americans whether
they were born here or abroad the
former president declared that "tht
salvation of our people lies in having
a nationalized and unified America
ready for the tremendous tasks of botf
war and peace" Il appeal to all oul
citizens the colonel said, no matter
from what land their forefathers came
to keep this ever in mind and to shm
with scorn and contempt the sinister
intriguers and mischiefmakers WHIT
would seek to divide them along lines
of creed, Of birthplace or OF nationa
origin"

OUR MOTIVES CHALLENGED

Mexico City, May 31.-Asserting
that the words and protestations of
the United States have been entirely
in contradiction of its acts, and that,
in spite of protestations of non-inter-
vention in the affairs of Mexico soldi-
ers of the United States are now in
Mexico without the consent of the
Mexican Government and in violation
Of MeXico's sovereignty, the Mexican
Government now asks for the immedi-
ate withdrawal of those troops. The
request is made in 10000 word note
made public at the Foreign Office to.
day
The note recites that the American
troops crossed the frontier after the
Columbus raid without the PERMISSION
of the Mexican Government. The act
was not considered one of invasion
then solely because the United States
said it had misinterpreted the atti-
tude of the Mexican Government.
The Mexican Government therefore
invites the United States to bring to
an end this unsupportable situation,
the note concludes. "and to support its
protestations and declarations OF
friendship by an immediate withdraw
al of the American troops
The American Government" it is
asserted, has admitted that the work
of the expedition which entered after
the Columbus raid is now over. But
in spite of this fact American troops
still remain on Mexico soil. To con
tend that political disorder in this
country justifes this act OF the Ameri
can military forces is in conflict with
the repeated professions of the Wash
ington Government relative to non-in
terfarpnce"
