Theodore Roosevelt's latest book,
Fear God and Take Your own Part"
which deals exclusively with this
country's relations to the European
war and Mexico, has just been pub
lished.
Prefaced by THE Battle Hymn Of the
Republic the foreword explains:
The principles set forth in this book
are simply the principles Of true
Americanism within and without our
own borders. the principles which, ac-
cording to my abilities, | have prac-
tlced for the S5 years since as a very
young man l first began to take an
active interest In American history and
in American political life"
The burden of Colonel Roosevelt's 8
writings in his magazine articles has
been criticism of President Wilson's
course in handling the submarine and
Mexican matters. In the first chapter
not to mention the others-of his
book he is Just as critical.
"Outside of our own borders" he
writes, I'VE must treat other nations
as we would wish to be treated in re-
turn, Judging each in any given crisis
as we ourselves ought to be Judged
that is by our conduct in that crisis
Finally. if we are really devoted to
lofty ideal we must, in so far as our
strength permits. aid them if they are
wronged by others. When we sit idly

contrary. we show an odious fear of
the devil and mean readiness to
serve him.
But in addition tn fearing God. 1t is
necessary that we should be able and
ready to take our part. The man who
cannot take his own part is nuis-'

State Department Pauses III
Movement Toward Mexi-
can Settlement.

The belief that a hitch has developed
in negotiations between the United States
and Mexico for settlement of the border
troubles grew yesterday when no steps
were taken to carry out the plan for the
appointment of a commission.
The only activity on the subject man
ifested by the State Department was In
denying a statement given out in Mexico
City which said the two governments had
reached an agreement, and that an an.
nouncement would be made yesterday by
the United States government. The only
announcement that the State Department
made was that negotiations are pro-
crossing favorably."
Carranza's permission for Brig. Gen.
Pershing to use the Mexican railway
from the border to Colonia DubIan has
completely eliminated the problem OF
communication and supplies for the
American forces.

TO i. s. NAVY
Washington Factory Ready to
Equip Whole Fleet, Says
Department.

Battleships OF the Atlantic Fleet are
being equipped with 3-inch rapid-fre
anti-aircraft guns. recently completed at
the gun factory OF the Washington Navy
Yard. The guns have already been
mounted on the battleships Pennsylvania
and Nevada. The design of the new
weapon was drawn up by the Bureau Of
Ordnance OF the Navy Department
Forty of the guns are already manu-
factured and tested. The Importance OF
this. according to the Navy Department,
lies in the fact that the United States
navy is now in position TO provide anti
aircraft guns by the thousands and at
short notice in case of war or emer-
gency. The guns can be mounted in sky
scrapers or church towers as effectively
here as they have been used on high
buildings abroad.
Until recently the United States had no
defense against aeroplanes. Rear Ad-
miral Straus, chief Of the Bureau of Ord
nance, realized that the feet would be
at a distinct disadvantage against an
enemy fleet which carried aeroplanes for
the reason that these craft could oper-
ate unmolested over our naval forces. 1t
is now simple matter, it is explained.
