WILSON'S POLICIES
ATTACKED BY ROOT
FORMER SENATOR DECLARES
UNITED STATES HAS FORFEIT.
ED RESPECT OF THE WORLD.
Policy In Mexico, He Declares, Han
Earned Only Contempt, While
World Powers Ignore Amer
lean Threats.

New York-In a speech criticising
the Wilson administration, especially
In respect to its foreign policy, former
United States Senator Elihu Root, as
| temporary chairman of the Republican
state convention, sounded here, on
February Is, what was regarded as
the keynote OF the Republican ma
tional campaign.
The first part of Mr. Roots
speech, which was devoted to a con-
sideration of the tariff and economic
conditions, was received in COMPARE
tive silence. When he opened an at
tack on President Wilson's Mexican
policy, he was repeatedly interrupted
with APPLAUSE, however.
The first prolonged outburst Of
cheers came when Mr. Root, turning
to European affairs, denounced the
presidents policy as one of making
threats and failing to make them
good.
Mr.. Root charged the present ad-
ministration with the lack of fore
sight to make timely provision for
backing up American diplomacy by
actual or assured military force"
with the forfeiture of the worlds re-
spect for our assertion of rights by
pursuing the policy of making threats
and of failing to make them good;
and with "a loss of the moral forces
Of the civilized world through failure
to truly interpret to the world the
spirit of the American democracy In
ITS attitude toward the terrible events
which accompanied the early stages
of the war" These, said Mr.. Root,
were the administration "three fun
damental errors"

RIGHT TO ARM CONCEDED.
United States Cannot Approve New
Teutonic Policy.

Washington. - The United States,
It was said by high authority at the
state department on Tuesday, con
cedes that the entente allies are with
in their rights under prevailing inter-
national law in arming merchant ships
for defensive purposes, no matter
what conditions exist on the seas.
Consequently 1t is admitted that
should the allies decline to adopt the
American suggestion to disarm mer-
chantmen, founded primarily upon a
desire to save the lives of innocent
non-combatants, this government can
not announce its approval Of the in
tentions of the Teutonic powers to
torpedo without warning after Febru-
airy 20 all armed vessels, although
various high officials are convinced
that the position Of Germany and Aus
tria Is justified. .....

With a Club.

Ashland, Wis.-The first lynx pelt
that has been seen here for many
years was brought to the county

The animal had been prowling about
the lighthouse for some time, and one
day became so bold as to come right
up to the back door.
Lane picked up club to attack the
animal, but before he could strike the
lynx had sprung at him.
A fight followed, In which Lane had
not by any means the best of it, but
he finally managed to reach the house
and, warding the animal off for a mo-
ment, rushed in, slamming the door
after him. Then Selling his gun he
hurried to the window and shot the
lynx through the head.
The killing OF the lynx brought
Lane bounty of Sc.

DEFlES LIVE WIRE AND LIVES
Ohio Man Takes Great Risk Handling
Strong Current From Light
Wire.

Sandusky, O.-Ed Baumgartel,
butcher who has a wide reputation
for extraordinary vitality, picked up
bare handed live" electric light
wire that had fallen in the way of
pedestrians in Washington park.
He was knocked down several
times, but persisted in his effort un.
til it was crowned with success. While
his hands were scared a little, the
butcher was unhurt. He said as he
left the scene: "If I'd left it there
somebody might have been killed"
The electric shock defied by the

mention that Jim Stewart, Will
