Law Removed by Wilson.
awful TRAGEDY OF INACTION'
America Refused to Do Duty,
Colonel Declares.
"Kept Us Out of War;" Phrase
of a Coward.

New York, Oct 11.-War is staring
the United States in the face right
across our three-mile limit, and the
nation has no policy, no plan, pur-
pose or preparation, according to
statement issued by Colonel Roosevelt
here in regard to the submarine ac-
tivity on the eastern coast The Colo
nePs statement follows:
when at the outbreak of the war
the German armies stood at the gates
of Belgium a question of momentous
Importance to this and coming gen.
erations was raised. 1t was great
question that concerned all neutral
nations and America, especially Amer
lea. as the leading neutral power.
''It rested with us as a nation to
decide whether or not we favored the
abandonment of duty. President VIII
son avoided taking any stand for the
right. He stated that the war and
it's issues were no concern of ours.
He was silent when Belgium suffer-
ed terrible wrong.
president Wilson put America in
the position of refusing to do her
duty to others. In the face of this
aggression, he speedily put America
in a position of refusing to do her
duty to her own citizens. Step by
step interna tional law has been brok-
en- down.
American Lives Lost.
by the attacks of German submar-
ines upon merchantmen, the lives of
hundreds of Americans were sacri-
ficed in a course which eliminated in
the sinking of the Lusitania. In a
similar fashion, the commercial rights
of property upon the sea were invaded
by England and the whole structure
of international law for the protection
of commerce and private property was
broken down.
Now the war has been carried-So
our very shores. There Is no Ameri-
can who does not realize the awful
tragedy of our indifference and in
action.
President Wilson's ignoble shirk-
ing of responsibility has been clothed
in an utterly misleading phrase, the
phrase of coward-'he kept US cut
of war In actual reality, war has
been creeping nearer and nearer until
It stares at US from just beyond our
three mile limit, and we face it with
out policy, plan, purpose or prepara-
ton.

London, Oct 11.-Premier Asquith
received a tremendous ovation in the
house of commons this afternoon when
he declared in the midst of a speech
in which he moved new war credits:
This war cannot end in a patched up
precarious, dishonoring compromise,
masquerading under the name of
peace"
The premiers declarations on the
subject of peace came toward the con-
clusion of an address in which he ask
ed new credits of $1,000, 100000 from
commons, bringing the total for the
war up to approximately SIS, $3.50, ,000,-
900. He followed this request with a
brief statement of the military situ-
alton, pointing out that in the recent
operations on the Somme front. Gen.
Haig's men have advanced their lines
seven miles on a nine mile front and
hold all the conquered positions. His
emphatic statement regarding peace,
lending new emphasis to Lloyd
Georges recent statement on peace,
was construed by his hearers as Brit
aims final answer to the recent peace
rumors emanating from the United
States and from Germany. The house
of commons welcomed it with great
outburst of applause.
London, Oct. 1.-THE house OF
commons today began consideration OF
the serious problems resulting from
the war with the introduction by Pre-
mier Asquith of a new vote of credit
for 30O,OOO,OOO pounds. Under the
procedure of parliament this step per-

Commercial Club Calls on All
Loyal Jayhawkers
To Meet the First Regiment on
Its Return.
SPECIAL TRAINS WILL RUN
Thousands Are Expected to Go
i'm Automobiles.
To Be the Biggest Picnic Ever
Pulled OF.

When the boys of the First regi-
ment, Kansas militia come home they
won't be lonesome for long. They
will find the great. warm, hearty hand
of Kansas stretched out ready to well
come them upon their arrival at
Junction City on their way to Fort
Riley preliminary to being mustered
out. Kansas will be thankful to have
her brave lads back safe and sound.
Representatives of various organiza-
tions of Topeka business men met this
noon in the Commercial club rooms
for the purpose of planning fitting
celebration for the men in khaki. It
was first thought that the soldiers
would be routed thru Topeka, but
telegram from General Funston de-
clared this to be too expensive. Then
it was proposed to pay the expenses of
the boys to come to this city from the
fort, but this, too was declared not
feasible. Finally it was unanimously
agreed that the best thing would be to
make the affair a statewide one, par
ticipated in by every city sending
troops, and by all those interested in
their welfare. A call has been issued
for the multitude to proceed to juno
ton City next Sunday. armed with
baskets of good things to eat.
Arrangements are being made with
the railroads for special trains to ac-
commodate the throngs that are ex-
pected to go.
Capper Will Be There.
]. Will Kelley. secretary of the Com
mercial club, is attempting to get
Henry Allen of Wichita, and Charles
F. Scott of lola, for speeches. 1t is
practically certain that Governor Cap
per will be on hand.
The Automobile club is getting busy,
trying to do its part. When the troops
left, approximately 1000 cars carried
people down to speed their departure.
1t Is anticipated that between 5000
and 10000 automobiles will greet the
boys on their return.
Notification is being forwarded to
many of the towns of the state for the
purpose of making the movement as
widespread as possible. The following
regiment: Topeka, Lawrence, Horton,
Burlington, Paola, Fredo11ia, Hia-
watha. Fort Scott, Manhattan, Garnett,
Yates Center, Humboldt, lola (Signal
corps), and Junction City.
Persons are cautioned not to forget
their baskets-the stores aren't open
on Sunday. The celebration has been
fixed for that day because of the alb
sence of most of the drill duties pres
ent on other days, and because the
troops may be mustered out very
quickly after their arrival.
| When the Second regiment comes
! back, ten days or so later, it will re-
/ ceive a similar ovation.
Topeka will furnish a special well
come for the members of battery A

USE "HIGHBROW''

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 11.-Popular
use of the term "highbrow'' to ex-
press scorn of intellectual things is
condemned by President John G.. TIib-
ben, of Princeton university.
This term is not used merely to
express contempt for pedantry or in
tellectual pharisaism," said DIR. Hib-
ben in his address to the students at
the opening of the university yester-
day.
'If this were the case" he added, 'T

culated minds which are content duly
to range along the dead level of the
trivial and the commonplace"

ICHAB0DS VS.. QUAKERS
Washburn and Friends Meet in I'M
portant Football Game Today.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE play
ers of both Friends University and
Washburn college were reported in
excellent condition for their clash at
Leland Park this afternoon in what
was regarded as one of the most i'm
portant contests of the Kansas confer
ence. It was the first meeting of the
two teams since 1912.
The game was scheduled to begin
at 3:45 and arrangements were made
for record breaking crowd, many of
the visitors at the wheat show being
expected to attend. The importance
of the contest came from the fact that
the two teams are regarded as the
strongest in the conference
Washburn, under the direction of
Dr. Kennedy, has been regarded as a
strong contender of the state title
honor since the beginning of the sea-
son, and Friends stock has been soar
ing syward ever since the Quakers
held the Emporia Normal team to a
tie last week.

Should Not Tolerate Blockade

WHATS GERMANY'S INTENTION
Lansing Holds Long Confer

Will q. s. COuntenance COntin-
uance of Ship Sinking.

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 11.-Sec-
retary of State Lansing left for Wash
ington shortly before o'clock after
a long conference with President Will
son last night on new problems raised
by activities of the German submar-
inc U-53 off the American coast.
The impression prevails here that
Germany acted entirely in accordance
with her promises to this government
in her operations on British shipping
off Nantucket Shoals Sunday.
But while methods employed by
the commander of the U-53 appear to
comply with this governments stipu-
lations, the larger question concern
ing the administration now is whether
the United States can tolerate further
submarine activities outside her port,
menacing commerce and constantly
exposing to danger the lives of Amer
lean men, women and children. There
is strong undercurrent of feeling
against any such continued practice
which might be contemplated by Ger
many
Some Urge More Than Protests.
Scores of kilograms have been re-
ceived by the president from bus
mess interests demanding that sharp
reminders must be given Germany
that she cannot virtually blockade
the ports of the United States" Some
advise that the action of this govern
ment should not be limited to mere
protests.
Officials here declined to comment
on what was this governments next
step in the new submarine problem
Secretary Lansing would make no
statement whatever before leaving for
Washington. After an early break
fast with Lansing, the president left
for game Of golf and nothing regard
|, ing his conference with the secretary
of state was forthcoming from the
summer White House offices. It is
likely, however, that steps will be
taken at once to get further informa-
tion as to Germany's future intentions
if these have not already been taker
and to determine whether Germany
plans to make her campaign against
enemy ships on this side of the At
lantic permanent.

New York, Oct. 11.-Nothing to in
dicate the presence of German sub
marines off the American coast was
observed by steamships that arrived
in this port today after voyages from
the east and south. There was no un.
usual activity on the seas, the arrivals
reported, nor were any entente war
ships sighted.
