SPEAKING FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE
Theodore Roosevelt Hits Key Note in
Detroit Speech

| render. They are potentially disloyal
10 their citizenship. AS Mr.. Roose-
velt puts it in his singularly incisive
phrase, they are "the spiritual and
moral heirs of the men who de-
nounced and opposed Washington; of
the men who denounced and opposed
Abraham Lincoln"
We have both insincere and sin
cere pacificists actively working today
against the Nations interest With
the former class Mr. Roosevelt could
lot have dealt more effectively than
he did by his reference to the Illinois
Staats-zeitung, which represents those
who defend the military preparedness
II Germany while urging that the
United States refrain from adequate
measures of defense We would like
think that the class for which
his newspaper speaks is a relatively
small class; that its righteousness
is out of all proportion to its influ-
ence; but recent events have shown
that 1t is organized and industrious.
and, therefore, positive menace. It
includes the desperate and treason
able individuals who, defying our
laws. have made this country a base
for war operations against nations
with which the United States has no
quarrel, and who are therefore, with
entire Justice, suspected Of being
ready to take sides against us in any
war in which an appeal from abroad
might be made to their alien sympa-
thies. The trouble with the other class
II sincere pacificists is that they can
not read Alright the lessons of con-
temporary history that they cannot
understand that war remains a liabil-
ity to be considered by every intelli-
gently governed nation; that If we
prepare for war at all we must pre-
pare thoroughly. because only by tho
rough preparation can we be in
position to make war effective for
the maintenance of what we consider
to be right when it Is threatened by
foreign aggression.
The doctrine of Americanism
preached by Mr.. Roosevelt in his De-
troit speech cannot be the monopoly
Of any party 1t will be translated in
to the platforms of the Democrats,
The Republicans and the Progressives.
No candidate for the Presidency can
go before the people with any hope
Of success if his party be formally
to feeble and hesitating
policy of national defense. The is
sue of this election must very largely
depend upon the faith of the people In |
the resolution and sincerity of the |
Individual candidates to redeem the |
pledges of their respective parties. If |
Theodore Roosevelt is not himself |
candidate he will at least have the |
satisfaction of knowing that the peo-
pie fully recognize the value of the |
policy to the support of which he has
brought the full strength of his I'M
courage. his great ability and |
rs unquestioned patriotism.

Editorial from Brooklyn Daily Eagle
May 20, 1916.
1t is difficult to imagine finer ex.
position of Americanism than the
speech delivered at Detroit yesterday
by Theodore Roosevelt. If his en-
emies GEEK to depreciate it as intend
ed for campaign purposes the obvious
retort of thoughtful and impartial
readers must be that no beIte- or
more inspiring platform could posi-
bly, be constructed. The speech was
free from diffusion which is one of
Mr.. Roosevelt's besetting sins. 1t was
free from the bitterness, ,savageTy
and invective that disfigure too many
of his public utterances. 1t was a sin
cere, dignified, logical and trcmend
0usly forceful presentation of a doc
herence of every American worthy Of
the honor and dignity Of citizenship
In this republic.
No man capable Of rational think
ing can ignore the profound truth of
Mr.. Rooscvelt's parallel between the
pacificists of today and the Tories and
Copperheads of the Revolution and
the Civil War. The men who now
insist that measures of national de-
Tense are necessarily provocative of
war, who pin their faith to arbitra-
ton agreements and compromises as
avenues of escape from complications
affecting our rights as nation, are
of the same fiber as the men who, in
1776, believed that our differences
with England should be settled either
by a surrender of our vital principles
or by compromise as discreditable
and quite as fatal as surrender. They
are of the same fiber as the men who,
as late as 1864, when Lee was repell-
ing tho furious attacks of Grant upon
the Wilderness defenses, argued that
the differ ences between the North
and the South should and could be
adjusted without an unconditional
abandonment by the South of an i'm
possible and untenable position. Some
sincere men opposed the cause which
Washington CARRIED through defeat
and suffering to triumph at Yorktown.
Some sincere men opposed the cause
for which Lincoln strained the re-
sources of the North through the
heartbreaking days of Manassas, Fred !
and Charlottesville;
through the indecisive victories of
Antietam and Shiloh and Gettysburg g,
to the decisive victories of Petersburg
and Appomattox. Some sincere men
are advocating pacificism and oppos-
'ug preparedness without realizing
nat the inevitable consequences of |
their policy would be the reduction of
the United States to a position where |
the maintenance of its rights would |
be impossible If foreign power |
should challenge those rights; where |
The only escape from war would be
the surrender of those rights or a |

called forth by the extraordinary re-
sponse to the call for volunteers for
the various training camps to be held
this summer.
Already there are more than 5000
Americans enlisted for the training
at Plattsburg, N. Y. "Plattsburg' will
be open five months, in five camps
each accommodating over a thousand
'rookios" The camp, of course, is
conducted by regular army officers,
ard the discipline and training is ex-
actlv what the recruit gets in the
regular service, only even more of it.
In one respect only does the citiz
recruit escape, and that is in doing
guard duty. The camp is policed and
guarded by regular troops.
A similar story OF success comes
from the organization of the citizens

Georgia The enlistment officers there
are being flooded with applications,

ADDRESS BEFORE PEACE LEAGUE
REGARDED AS FEELER FOR
PEACE ACROSS OCEAN.
Declares United States Is Ready to
Join In Any Feasible Association
Of Powers to Preserve the
Peace of the World.

characterization Wilson de
clared here Saturday night before the
League to Enforce Peace that the
United States was ready 10 join in
any league association of nations to
preserve the peace of the world
against political ambition and sell
fish hostility" and in service of "a
common order, a common justice and
a common peace" He expressed the
hope that the terms of peace which
end the present war would include
such an arrangement.
Outlining suggestions for peace,
which the president said he hoped the
United States would make, If it has
opportunity to do so, he included pro-
vision for absolute freedom of the
seas. contention which has been the
keystone of all the diplomatic dis
cussions with Germany and Great
Britain. and virtual guarantees of ter
ritorial integrity and political inde-
pendence.
Officials interpreted the presidents
address as preliminary feeler for
peace In Europe. He outlined the con-
ditions on which the United States
would move If 1t made a formal media
tory offer, with the idea, it was under
stood, OF learning how such sugges
tions would be received abroad.
Il am sure" said the president
that the people of the United States
would wish their government to move
along these lines:
First, such a settlement with re-
gard to their own immediate interests
as the beniserents may agree upon.
We have nothing material of any kind
to ask for ourselves and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de-
gree parties to the present quarrel.
Our interests are in peace and future
guarantees.
Second, universal association of
the nations to maintain the inviolate
security of the highway of the seas

the nations of the world, and to pre-
vent any war begun either contrary

to the opinion Of the world-a virtual
guarantee of territorial integrity and
political independence"
The fundamentals of a lasting
peace President Wilson said he be-
lieved were:
"First, that every people has right
to choose the sovereignty under which
they shall live. Like other nations"
the president said, I'VE have our
selves, no doubt, once and again of
Tended against that principle when
for little while controlled by selfish
passion, as our franker historians
have been honorable enough to admit;
but 1t has become more and more our
rule of life and action.
Second, that the small states of
the world have a right to enjoy the
same respect for their sovereignty
and for their territorial integrity that
great and powerful nations expect and
insist upon.
And third, that the world has a
right to be free from every disturb
ance of IT'S peace that has its origin
in aggression and disregard of the
rights of people and nations"

milton for use by the Sinn. Fein rebels.
These munitions were turnlshed by the
German government. although Case
ment denied that Germany had any.
thing to do with the fostering OF he
plot.
On May Is. Easement was arraigned
in Bow Street Police Court for prelimi-
nary examination, and then it was
learned for the first time that one of
his companions on the voyage from
Germany. former Irish soldier named
Daniel Julian Bailey, also had been
arrested.
Bailey betrayed Easement and the
rebel cause. giving imortant informa-
lion about the activities OF Easement
in Germany and his efforts to persuade
irish prisoners OF war to enlist in a
battalion to fight for Irish freedom.
Thus Bailey. the traitor. gained his
own freedom.
These were the principal facts ad-
iuced In Easements trial:
That Easement had visited prison
camps in Germany where Irish prison
ers of war were detained and made
speeches asking them TO enlist in his
battalion.
That Easement promised to see that
the members OF his battalion were sent
TO the United States II Germany lost
the war
That it was proposed to set up an
Independent government in Ireland,

That Easement and his companions
were to join forces with the Slim Fem

April 26.
The plans went awry from :ae first.
The Aude was captured on April 81 by
the British sloop Bluebell ard was
sunk with her cargo Of munitions by
Ler own crew OF German sailors while
being taken into port.
On June 29 Easement was found
guilty after one OF the most spectacu.
lar trials in the history OF England.
Immediately after the verdict was re.
turned Easement was sentenced to
death by Baron Reading, but the date
OF execution was not set until soma
time later.
After the return OF the verdict, Case
ment addressed the court and made a
brilliant plea in which he denied the
right OF England to try him. He de
clared that his acts contained no trea.
son. Easement spoke with great elo,
Iuence OF the condition OF Ireland and
said that all he had done had been &c,
complished for the good of the Irish
people.
On July II five Justices In the crimi
nal court OF appeals heard an appeal
from the high treason verdict, but was
rejected and August was set as the
fate for the execution.
Powerful efforts were made in both
the United Kingdom and the United
States TO obtain reprIeve for Case
ment. 4 great petition was circulated
in England. Ireland, Scotland and
welcs and many prominent names
were attached to It.
