FOREIGN-BORN
WARNED NOT TO
DEFY AMERICA
PRESIDENT WILSON INSISTS ON
FULL ALLEGIANCE TO THE
UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON May s1-Presidens
Wilson delivered Memorial day ad.
dress here yesterday. in which he de-
fined the spirit Of America, warned
citizens Of foreign birth not to set
themselves against the purposes OF the
nation, called upon young men to
perform voluntary military service and
defended his recent suggestion for an
alliance Of nations to preserve peace,
He spoke at Arlington National Gem
etery before an audience made up
largely Of civil war veterans. who ap-
plauded him vigorously.
While he declared he had no harsh
ness in his heart for Americans Of for
eign birth and expected them still to
love the sources OF their origin. the
president said America must come
first in every purpose we entertain
and every man must count upon being
cast out of our confidence, cast out
even of our tolerance, who does not
submit to that great ruling principle"
Readiness to Fight Asserted
Speaking Of America. made up out
of all the peoples OF the world. as the
champion of the rights Of mankind,
he said:
I'VE are not only ready to cooper
ate, but we are ready to fight against
any aggression, whether from within
or without But we must guard our
selves against any sort of aggression
which would be unworthy Of America.
We are ready to fight for our rights
when there rights are coineident with
the rights Of man and humanity"
The president reiterated his sugges-
ton before the League to Enforce
Peace last week that the United
States was ready to become a partner
in any alliance of the nations which
would guarantee public right against
selfish aggression

ST. LOUIS. May s1.--Addressing
500 citizens at breakfast preliminary
to his regular speech later, Roosevelt
served notice that he is fighting for
the principles of preparedness and
Americanism, wherever he found
them, in a party or IN individuals. His
talk burned with vftriolic condemna-
ton of wilson's attitude toward pre-
paredness and military service His
auditors variously interpreted his re-
marks as indicating mis- readiness to
amalgamate with the republicans If
they support his beliefs or his deter
mination to herald his principles
through a third party.
He vehemently branded as infa-
nous falsehood the charges that mu-
nitions makers were behind the pre-
paredness movement.

mer president has seldom been so Wit

PARIS, May 31.-The hundredth
day OF terrific fighting at Werdun
found the German crown prince
bringing up fresh legions into action
west OF the Meuse. critics agreed to-
day that the Teuton offensive inltiat-
ed Sunday was the final supreme ef-
fort designed to pierce the French
lines. The kaiser was reported re-
turning to Verdun to witness the III
tanic struggle. The Germans have un-
loaded fresh divisions from Russia.
IL was rumored also that Austrians
were en- route to verdun. Some be-
lieve that the Austrian smash on the
Italian front was merely a blind to
cover the shifting of the Austrians to
Vsrdun.
The French in a counter attack at
midnight, regained their losses south
OF Cumieres. The French had evacu-
ated the first line of trenches and re-
tired toward Chattancourt under the
most violent attacks that the Oldest
veterans had experienced.
Before the end Of the week. II was
forecasted that the Germans would
have a million men hammering at YER
duA. The French public is calm and
confident that General Nevielle will
maintain the northwest forts tena-
ciously II he Is forced to retire upon
them.
The fighting northwest Of Verdun
grew more furious at nightfall and
continued today. The Germans re-
peatedly attacked on a front two and
u half miles long. Each charge was
shattered Meanwhile the Germans
threw scores of high explosive shells
into the French defenses, levellng the
trench. which naturally was abandon
ed. A German detachment which
reached the Meuse was surrounded
and annihilated.
South OF Cumieres the French retir-
ed along the Chattancourt railway and
fought behind the embankment. In
counter attack delivered there at
twilight, the Germans were thrust
back.
The French ousted the Germans
who had penetrated trenches east OF
Ssffers In Alsace.

Confirmation of the Indians claim
to a primary right to a use of water
on the Umatilla reservation; an in
crease of the maximum allowance Of
water from one-half inch to one inch
per acre to the waterusers along the
Umatilla river; a revision of the lists
and schedules Of lands in the west end
Of the county according to relative
dates of priority; and general agree
ment with the findings of the state
water board.
These will be the principal points in
the decree of Circuit Judge helps in
the matter of the adjudication of the
water rights of the Umatilla river
and its tributaries, as indicated by a
memorandum which he filed today
The preparation of the decree will
commence tomorrow and Judge
Phelps will be assisted by George T.
Cochran, superintendent of water di-
vision No. 2.
The decree of Judge Phelps is Civ
en- upon an appeal from the findings
of the state water board which took
testimony for five years. 1t is very
probable that an appeal will be taken
to the state supreme court from Judge
Phelps decree and the United States
supreme court will doubtless be called
upon to make the final determination
of the respective rights of the Indians
and the Byers milling interests to the
use Of the water of the river.
Indian Rights Upheld.
The decision of Judge Phelps as to
the rights of the Indians to use water
on the reservation lands is OF much
interest and importance locally, In
asmuch as, upon the ultimate determi-
iation of this question depends wheth-
er the reservation lands can be irri-
gated.
Judge Phelps does not attempt to
say whether or not the right of the
Byers milling company, as given by
an act of congress, is a temporary or
permanent one. However, he does
hold, that the treaty with the Indians,
setting aside the lands of the reserva-
tion for the use of the Indians, implied
right to the use of water too for do
nestle and agricultural. purposes.
In this connection ne says:
"It is my opinion that when the
United States by its treaty of 1855 set
aside for the use of the Indian the
land included within the Umatilla res
ervation that such water as was or

might be needed for domestic uses,
snd for the purposes of agriculture
was also set aside or reversed. and
that to the extent said water may be
required in the cultivation of the
lands upon the reservation there Is
vested in the Indian a paramount
right"
In this finding he follows the ruling
of the U. S. Supreme court in the case
of Winteds VS.. the United States. That
case had to do with the implied res
ervation of waters OF Milk river for
irrigation purposes in favor Of the
Indians on the Ft. BeIknap reservation
in Montana, and in that case the gov
ernment's contentious IN behalf Of the
Indians were upheld. The fact that
