DOES NOT CONVINCE
Speech of Ex-Secretary Root Is
Fallacious.
His Arrangement of the Policies Of the
Democratic Party Adroit but Eas-
lily Answered. by Any
Thoughtful Person.

It is trite to remark the distin-
guished ability Of Hon. Elihu Root of
New York. Political friend and foe
alike recognize his intellectual pre-
eminence and his keynote speech be-
fore the New York Republican con-
vention was adroit in all respects and
9, plausible arrangement Of the Demo
cratic administration.
To those who are constitutionally
at enmity with the Democratic party
his utterances will, no doubt be regard
ed as a masterpiece. .xs.'
But. Mr.. Root was quite, as fallacious
as ever. as may be seen by all who
will analyze his speech.
!. If he tells us. that the Democratic
party is late in realizing the necessity
for greater armament, why does he
not tell Us why it is that in the half
century since the war that the Re-.
publican party was In control 40 years
without an adequate naval program be-
ing adopted until Democratic admin
iStration came sn7 "a
The Wilson administration had to
repair the neglect of the Republican
party with respect to the army and
navy, as it had to repair it in respect
of the banking system and currency
system and the revenue system.
Mr.. Root might answer, Of course.
that during the Republican admins
trations there was nc need of great
er army and navy. Even ii that be
true, he must adncit that the Demo
cratic president was quick to reccg-
nize the need when it appeared, and
proceeded to evolve q plan to sup
ply it. f. :
AS for the business mixup to which
he alluded. Mr.. Root is almost ridicu-
lous, in view Of the existing business
conditions. The thoughtful people
OF the country are not going to be
caught by Mr.. Roots fallacies.

CAUSE OF DISASTER UNKNOWN
Eight Hundred and Seventy Surviv-
ors Reported tanded-Former
Liner Believed to Have Seen
Torpcdoed.

Paris, March 1.--More than soc lives
are believed to have been lost in the
sinking OF the French auxiliary
cruiser Provence. formerly in service
as. Transatlantic liner. in the middle
Mediterranean on Saturday
Eighteen hundred persons were
aboard. the cruiser, an official state
ment for the ministry of marine
stated.
Four hundred survivors were. land
ed at Milo. while 2S6 OF the crew have
arrived at Malta.
A later official statement from the
admiralty put the total number prob
ably saved at $40, making the number
missing about 600.
Ten boats are now at the scene OF
the disaster. continuing the search
for ,otherA survivors, the ministry OF
marine announced.
Cause OF Disaster Unknewh.
Dispatches from Paris, transmitted
through Parts direct. and also other
dispatches, transmitted through Lon
don. did not state whether the Pre-
vence was sunk by a submarine, by
a mine or was the victim Of an acct
dent.
Submarines are known to have been
operating in the mid-Mediterranean
for some time, the British steamer
Fastnet and a. Swedish steamer hav-
ing been torpedoed in those waters
within the last few days.
The Provence sunk is believed to
be the palatial French liner of that
name; formerly in transatlantic serv-
ice. The liner Provence is now in
the admiralty service, it was stated at
the French Line office here. 1t was
said, however, the government would
not notify them in case the ship was
lost.
Noted for It's Speed. S.
La Provence was one of the largest
and finest of the French line vessels.
Her gross tonnage was 1888 She
was built at St. Nazaire in 1906, was
COZ feet long, IS feet beam and SO feet
deep. She was requisitioned by the
French government for naval service
at the, outbreak of the war.

In all probability the Provence was

where survivors were landed, are 600
miles apart. Melos lies off the south

that the: Provence was sunk some
