SACRIFICED coUNTRYs
HONOR AND INTEREST

Mr.. Wilson's defenders say he
has kept US out Of war;" As
a matter of fact his policy In
Mexico has combined all the
evils OF feeble peace with all the
evils Of feeble war. He has Sc
cured none Of the benefits OF
war; but he has not avoided
war. He has sacrificed the hon.
or and the interests OF the coun-
try; but he has not received the
thirty pieces OF silver.-From

Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston,
Maine, in behalf Of Charles {.

WHY HUGHES is NEEDED IN
THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS.

Against Mr.. Wilson's combina-
ton of grace In elocution with
futility in action; against his
record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and un-
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every office he has held. We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good. against
the man whose adrOit and facile
elocutlon is used TO conceal his
plans or his want Of plans. The
next four years may well be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish nj the helm during those
four years; the man who has
been actually tried and found
wanting, or the man whose
whole career in public Office is
guarantee of his power and
good faith? But one answer is
possible; and II must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.-From speech
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. de-
livered at Lewiston, Maine, In
behalf of Charles Il. Hughes.

If you are going to have the basis
for prosperity in this country; If you
are going to protect the American

ing of this war, you must have an
honestly devised. wisely framed tariff
law to protect American Industry.

WILSON'S lGNoBLE, UNsUc-
CESSFUL LITTLE WARS.


President Wilson tok Vera
Cruz In 1914, as we were official
ly informed at the time, TO get
a salute for the flag, and to
prevent the shipment Of arms
into Mexico. He did not get his
salute. He did not prevent the
shipment Of arms. But several
hundred men were killed or
wounded; and then he brought
the army home without achiev-
ing either object. President
Wilson sent an army into Mexico
In 1916, as we were informed
at the time, to get Villa "dead
or alive" They did not get him
dead. They did not get him
alive. Again several hundred
men were killed and wounded.
Again President Wilson is bring
ing the army home without
achieving his object. OF course
II is a mere play upon words
to say that these were not
wars" They were wars, and
nothing else; IgnobIe, pointless,
unsuccessful little wars; but
wars. They cost millions OF dol
lars and hundreds Of lives,
squandered to no purpose; they
accomplished nothing; but they
were wars.--From the speech OF
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, deIiv-
cred at Lewiston, Maine, In be-

The Democrats continue TO ignore

Let II be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out TO
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled In the Democratic column.

ITALY DECLARES
WAR ON GERMANY
CHEERING CROWDS PARADE THE
STREETS OF ROME APPLAUDING
ACTION OF GOVERNMENT
Action Forced by Landing Of
Troops at Saioniki to Cooperate
In the Campaign on the
Macedonian Front

Rome.-Italy has formally declared
war on Germany, the official declara
tion having been made August 2S.
The official announcement OF state
of war between Italy and Germany has
aroused great enthusiasm here Cheer
ing crowds paraded the streets
applauding the governments decision
The official announcement OF Italys
declaration of war on Germany fol.
lows:
The Italian government declares
in the name Of the king, that Italy
considers herself to be in state OF
war with Germany as from August 28,
and begs the Swiss government to
convey this information to the imper-
ial German government"
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war The decla-
ration became inevitable when Italy
recently sent troops to Saloniki to CO.
operate in the campaign of the en-
tente allies on the Macedonian front,
as Germany is directing the opposing
forces and has troops on this battle
lane. :.
Italy's position in regard to Ger
many has been an anomalous one
since Italy withdrew from the triple
alliance May 23 of last year and de-
clared war on Austria Although by
this act she arrayed herself against
her former allies, Germany and Aus
tria, she remained officially at peace
with Germany until Saturday. Be
fore Italy took this step Germany ex-
erted every effort to induce her to
remain neutral, sending to Rome as
an ambassador Prince Won Buelow
The price for some time averted war
between Austria and Italy, and when
he saw rupture was inevitable took
steps toward preservation OF an off
cfal peace between Germany and Italy.
He negotiated special agreement un-
der which, in case of war between
Austria and Italy, Germany and Italy
pledged themselves to respect the
tive subjects in each others domains.
According to unofficial reports
ltaly's allies were dissatisfied and at
the Paris council of entente powers
In February last asked the Italian rep.
resentatives why their nation was not
at war with Germany. Italy already
had agreed not to conclude a separate
peace, and at the Paris conference
sanctioned the plan for permanent
high council OF the entente powers
for future conduct of the war. The
increasing cooperation among the en-
tente allies and the necessity for
bringing into service Italy's surplus of
troops, gradually brought Italy into
such position that it became evident
a declaration of hostilities against
Germany was certain.
Italy's action probably will have lit |
tie effect in the military situation in |
the immediate future, although as the |
war goes on it may have more i'm |
portant bearing. On the Austro-Ital- |
ian front Italy finds active use for
hardly more than half her army, and /
in future can send available troops to
any front. Having committed her
self already to the Macedonian cam
paign Italy's step is of no Significance
as respects that theatre of war.
