Former President Roosevelt Says U. S. Should Fol

ABHORS GERMANY'S
 MILITARY RECORD
"Fenr God and Take Your Part" Is Motto MT. Roosevelt Suggests for Americans, in Speech Advocating
 Preparedness and Tariff.

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.-Speaking be- fore the National Conference on Im- migration and Americanization here this evening, Theodore Roosevelt called upon the United States to fol- low the example of German industri- al efficiency.
 Much as he abhorred Germany's military record, he said, he would "hold it an unspeakably foolish thing" to refuse to follow Germany's ex- ample where she can teach us any thing.
 Germany is far in advance of us" ;" he continued, Gin securing industrial insurance, old age pensions, and a reasonable division of economic goods. She controls and encourages industry better than we do; and she has secured greater national cohesion and greater loyalty. both, from en- ployer and employe."
 Germany has oItdistanced us In her industrial efficiency" MT. Roose- welt continued, land now it is for us to show that democratic govern ment which guarantees personal lib- erty is not inconsistent with such in- dustrial efficiency"
 Mir. Roosevelt touched on wide range of issues of the day. He be- gan by suggesting as a national and indicidual motto for Americans: Fear God and take your own part" Neither nation nor man who cannot do this is going to amount to any, thing in the world, he said.
 He took a shot at the internation- alists saying that "flabby cosmo- politanism, especially if it expresses itself through flabby pacificism, is silly and mischievous."
 To achieve industrial preparedness. he said, we must solve the railroad problem and for this and other pur- poses national corporations are nec- essary. The government must stand behind these great national corpora tions, too, if we are to reach Ger many's level of efficiency. California is farther advanced than any other state in intelligent handling of its public service corporations, he said.
 The colonel spoke in favor of a protective tariff and tariff commits sion of the German type intuition plants situated in the interior; a comprehensive plan for handling problems such as ruinous interna- tional competition and enormous inn migration. which must be met at the end of the war; an efficient navy, regular army of 25O,00O men and uni- versal military training.

won fame as a writer publishing es- says and short stories in hundreds of magazines.
 In New York, too, he asserts that he worked with Mrs. William K. Van derbilt in a crusade against the drug evil. He declares his investigations are the foundation of the present drug laws of the state of New York.
 In the flood tide of his success he went to Utica to become a staff writ CT of an important periodical. Here he increased his achievements in the world of letters. He moved in the best society; he met and loved Mrs. Rice. the vice presidents niece.
 Two hours before the marriage. which was to be great social event, Mrs. Rices father called him to his office and confronted him with his prison record and his Bertillon meas urements. The wedding was indefi- nitely postponed.
 Crushed he plunged into a wild sea- son of debauchery. Several months later he met Mrs. Rice secretly in Rochester and married her. Then the prison spectre appeared again. Once more he was arrested for an unlawful act committed between the time his marriage was postponed and the actual event. He was tried. con- victed and the marriage was annull- ed. And then-the prison bars again.
