ROOSEVELT PLEASED
Calls Hughes Speech Admirable-He Is
sues Statement.

New York, Aug, 1T was an admir-
able speech and | wish to call attention
to the following points" said Colone
Roosevelt, in statement issued after
the Hughes notification meeting last
night.
Il am particularly pleased with the
exposure of the folly and worse than
folly OF Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy and
of the way in which this policy had
brought humiliation to the United States
and disaster TO Mexico itself Moreover,
am very glad of the straightforward
manner in which Mr., Hughes has shown
the ridicule with which Mr.. Wilson has
covered this nation BY the manner in
which he allowed foreign powers to gain
the impression that, although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy, they were
not to be taken seriously.
Just before coming in to listen to Mr.,
Hughes Characterization of Mr.. Wilson's
failure to protect the lives and property
OF Americans in Mexico and on the high
seas, | happened to look up John Fiske's
critical period of American history and
was struck by the following two SEN
fences:
"A government touches the lowest
point OF ignominy when it confesses its
ina bility to protect the lives and the prop
erty of its citizens.
az government which has come to
this has failed in dischargng the pri-
mary function of government and forth
with ceases to have any reason for exist
ng.'
'Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
,hasis, that it is precisely this primary
junction which Mr.. Wilson's administra-
ion has failed to discharge and that it is
precisely this point of gnominy to
which he has reduced the nation over
which he is president"

A part of the Massachusetts, troops on
the Mexican border got a taste Of gueril-
la warfare when they acted as support
of the regular command, troop f, which
pursued a small gang of Mexican bandits
and annhilated it near Fort Hancock.
The failure of this small party Of bandits
to carry out their plans indicates that a
tight rein is being kept by the regulars
and state troops which are now policing
the long international boundary line
Nothing short of a good sized army could
make any decided impression on the de-
lenses gathered at any one point on the
border, and the success of raid would be
short-lived because reinforcements could
be summoned within short time. The
former guardsmen who are now soldiers
of the United States army are doing a
great deal to safeguard American people
and property located in close proximity
to the Rio Grande river, albeit that part
may be at present secondary to that
played by the regular troops

Two Years Ago To-day.

Two years ago to day Austria declared
war against Serbia with the approval OF
Germany. Serbia had yielded to nine OF
the ten demands made in the forty eight
hour ultimatum, leaving the remaining
demand open for explanation. The Brit
ish foreign secretary had made three
efforts for the maintenance of peace
first, urging Germany to join in press
ing Austria to extend the time limit I;
secondly, proposing that Germany, Brit
ain, France and Italy should work to-
gether at Vienna and Petrograd in ia.
vor of Cancellation; and, thirdly, asking
Germany to advise Austrian acceptance
of Serbia's reply. But Germany would
not lift a finger for peace though the key
of the situation was in Berlin. She had
agreed with Austria that the Serbians
should be put to the sword, and that, as
Won Berchtold admitted "she would stand
by Austria's side if Russia should in
tervene. Yet for three days after the
Austrian war declaration the British eff
forts for peace were continued and on
July 81 Austria agreed with Russia to
discuss the whole question of her ulti
mstum to Serbia. On that day Germany
twelve hour ultimatum to
Russia, and on the next day declared
war.
Have the central empires gained any
thing by their action? The small fire
which they kindled at first for the de-
struction of peace in the Balkans grew
fast to confagration involving every
continent. Canada, Japan, Australia, In
dia, South Africa and other countries
outside of Europe are involved in this
great war. And now, after two years of
it, the good it has done can nowhere be
found, while the evil it has done is Wis
IDLE wherever its flame has spread. Mil
lions of men have been deprived of life
by the most sanguinary methods; Grip
pies, widows and orphans have been al
most countlessly multiplied; the home
works and fields of whole peoples have
been devastated; and wealth gathered
from the past and wrung from industry

normal conditions OF war. For the pro.
lection OF the industries and working

ton of IAN energized Europe" Mr.,
Hughes said il was plain that eve must
have protective upbulding policies Pro.
lection should be applied "fairly without
abuses in as scientific n manner as pos
sible." Other measures, too, should be
applied, he said, notably the upbuilding
of a merchant marine, This, Mr.. Hughes
said, should not be done by putting the
government into competition with pri-
Vate owners.
ITO make peace lasting and effective
when the present war shall end, Mr..
Hughes advocated the formation of an
international tribunal to dispose of con
troversies of iusticiable sort, backed by
the cooperation of the nations to prevent
war before peaceful methods OF adjust
ment end
"Therc is no isolation in the world of
the goth century" he said. 'If>at the
close of the present war the nations are
ready TO undertake practical measures in
the common interest, in order 10 secure
international justice, We cannot fail to
recognize our international duty The
peace OF the world is our interest and in
developing the necessary agencies for the
prevention OF war we shall be glad to
have an appropriate share"
Mr.. Hughes also declared for woman

national resources and for national

You wouldn't be miserable, be-
cause it isn't your way. Any woman

Helen. "You don't like Laura and you
won't be fair to her."
IT am speaking from mans
standpoint, that't all. I know that
those temperamental women are dec
orative enough and mysterious enough
for a man when he wants to kick over
/ the traces. but when he wants to settle
down he wants a woman of the de-
pendable type, who will sing tune
around the house and darn his socks
rather than write a poem to Adver-
sity"
Helen laughed merrily.

Some Valuable Advice
Helen did not reply. She was
/ thinking OF how often she had wished

sides being domestic. And here was
Warren defending the domestic wo-
man and frankly making fun of the

'I didn't know that I had been

several times that you were discon-
tented and leaned more toward the
uneven life that Frances and the

| Mary put her head in at the door
at this moment and asked If Heller
would come out and show her how
to make that new dessert. Helen
rose enthusiastically and followed
Mary out into the kitchen and was
soon engrossed in the fascina'kne
problem of whipping cream and
chopping figs for a new pudding
that she had heard of. Warren fol-
lowed her out after a few minutes, a
thing he rarely if ever did, and stood
and watched her.

Careless Use of
Soap Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
1t in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.

But Laura doesn't whine and

mortality. She already has about half
a dozen churches, and evangelistic
services, heavily attended, are held
almost every night. All of these
churches were erected on short notice,
but NOSE remarkable is the story OF
the Catholic church erected by
Father OHare. This worthy priest
arrived at Hopewell during the roar
ing boom days, with a determination
to establish a church and very little
else He got an option on a dozen
lots. and was soon able to sell few
of them for enough to pay for all. He
then leased the rest of them for a
term of years, built a $4,000 church,
and still enjoys an income of $500 a
month from his property. Talk about
the early Jesuits in the far West!
They may have had as much courage
as Father O'Hare, but they certainly
did not have a tithe of his acumen.
IT is a curious fact that when
Hopewell burned the flames spared
a couple of hospitals and a church,
going around them as though guided
by an unseen power. There was i'm
mediate use for the hospitals. Pneu-
monia ravaged the homeless people,
and there were no adequate facilities
to care for them. With the exception
of that one diseaster, however, Hope
wells record in the matter of health
has been miraculous. One would eX-
pect all sorts of dire results from the
lack of proper sanitary facilities; yet
there were only two deaths from
natural causes before the great fire.
An undertaken can scarcely make
living in Hopewell so young and
healthy is its population; but it has
nevertheless proved a good place for
the few doctors who came here. A
couple of NJ. DIS just out of college
heard about the place, and determined
to abridge the long wait which

A SUGGESTION FOR
SUMMER VACATIONS

Along New England Roads" by
William c. Prime. is published this
week by the Harpers. This book of
leisurely travel in New Hampshire and
Vermont has been reprinted to
meet the demand for a work that has
never failed to charm. The writer
who travelled extensively in foreign
lands. states his belief that there is
no country which better repays the
traveller than that lying near the
White and Green mountains. His style
is like the manner of his travel by car
riage; he stops every now and then to
descend. TO pick a flower, to talk to a
laborer or country pastor. to watch
boys fishing. to tell stories of rural
life or to praise the beauties of New
England scenery.
