ness for peace. The Sun, after
longer observation of him, said,
"When charged with response
bility he is as cautious and canny
as any doctor of philosophy"
But the above sayings are
samples of the many misconcep-
tions regarding Roosevelt in
former years. Many unin-
formed Americans still cherish
them-so persistent is the men,
ory of an old party-cry. These
misconceptions are now revived
and fostered by enemies who
choose to forget the stainless
record.
The Record of Facts.
But what are the Facts ?
They show a peace record that is
100 per cent perfect.
During the seven and one
half years that he was President
he pursued one invariable and
consistent foreign policy; a pol
icy of international goodwill and
consideration for the rights of
others, and at the same time of
steady preparedness.
During his seven and a half
years in the White House not
an American rifle was fired in
war.
Yet, there were no less than
seven occasions when a presi-
Dental diplomacy just a shade
less firm, just a word less
friendly, just a thought less
wise, might have produced war.
Seven critical occasions they
were.
Today we see their full sig
nificance, and tremble at what
we escaped. But at the time
each affair was handled so
astutely by Roosevelt that the
danger was scarcely realized
outside his Cabinet. Indeed
the very means Roosevelt then
employed to escape the danger
were bitterly criticized by many
who saw nothing of the menace,
which, for the sake of peace, he
kept out of public discussion.
Here is the record,-a peace
victory a year, won by astute di.
plomacy.
Great Britain
The first was with Great Brit
am. There was a bitter dispute
about the boundary of Alaska
After the Klondike boom the Ca.
nadlans realized the value of the

They revived a claimed ambig.
ulty in the original treaty OF
1925 between Russia and Great
Britain, declaring that that coast
should belong to Canada. The
claim was absurd. Great Britain
offered to arbitrate. Roosevelt
refused because our title was SC
sound, and arbitrators like tt
compromise.
Here were the makings OF
trouble. If Roosevelt had lei
congress and the press get into
the discussion, it is easy to see
how public anger would have
blazed up, both here and in Great
Britain, and the British would

actual character of the man, is
absolutely proved by his own
deeds when he was President.
By the character of the
man." we don't mean mere pro-
fessions. For, in July, 1914, all
the rulers of Europe that are
now at war professed how much
they wanted peace. So, profess
sions of peace, unless they are
backed up by the deeds that
compel peace, are only froth.
By the character of the
man." we do mean that charac-
ter which is revealed by an un-
varying, straight line of actions.
In America that is all that
counts. Lincoln once said, "In
lieu of a written platform, a
mans record is his platform" :"
Some Obsolete Misconceptions.
Theodore Roosevelt's record
for peace has been a sore disap-
pointment to his enemies. Since
the beginning of his career they
have predicted, again and again,
that he was a dangerous man
who would lead the country into
trouble"
Because of his consistent doc
trine that among nations weak
ness invites aggression, that un-
preparedness invites attack, he
has been called by his enemies
"a menace to peace"
Thus, when he was nominated
for Governor of New York in
1898, three years before he be-
came President, Carl Schurz
wrote:
Roosevelt virtually asks US
to endorse, by electing him, his
kind of militant imperialism
which has no bounds. Accord
ing to him we need big navy,
"a far larger regular army than
we have now,' not for the pur-
pose of keeping order at home,
but for action abroad. | would
not put him in position, nor
open to him the way to posi-
ton, in which he would exercise
any influence upon the foreign
policy of the Republic; for l can
didly believe that he is very
dangerously deficient in that pa
tient prudence which is neces-
sary for the peaceful conduct of
international affairs.
Il cannot support him when
his election is generally admitted
to be a stepping stone to place
in which his hot impulses and
his extreme notions of militant
imperialism might do the coun-
try more irreparable harm than
anything l can think of"
That same year, 1898, the
New York Times said,. editor
tally:
''Mr. Roosevelt presents him
self as a great fighting man, a
believer in keeping the flag
wherever it has been planted,
and in maintaining a big army
and navy. He is present
ed as foe of closer relations for
peace with our close kin across
the sea, and as a man of notable
DASH"
In the presidential campaign
of 1904, Col. Henry Watterson
declared:
For the life of me l cannot
see how any self-respecting
mugwump can vote for Roose-
velt. Parker, the jurist,
means peace with all nations, en-
tangling alliances with none
Roosevelt, the war-lord, means
corruptions at home, cOmplica-
tiOns abroad"
Three years later, in 1907,
when Roosevelt sent the battle
ship fleet on its cruise around
the world, the New York Sun
said, in an editorial:
1--WE are asked to believe that
the expedition to the Pacific is
a mere practice cruise He
must be miracle of innocent
credulity who believes it. What

EXPRESS ORDERS

MONTH is LOW-30o
SHIPMENTS IN.

ATLANTA, May 12.--Now that the
supply of liquor laid in store is be-
ginning to run low, orders for ship
ment by express are beginning to in
crease.
For the first week of prohibition
there were not more than a dozen ex-
press shipments into Atlanta, but,
during the first three days of the sec
ond week, no less than 300 consign-
ments have come romping in to Stake
the thirst of drinkers.
In the Office of the ordinary Of Full
ton county the express company's rec
ord of the names of persons receiving
shipments, together with the amount
received each, is flied in alphabetical
order by a special clerk assigned to
this work.
City detectives made an inspection
yesterday with the idea that they
might find where some especially
thirsty citizen had ordered more than
the laws allow. but their expecta
lions were not realized.
Up to date the largest number to
receive shipments come under the
head of "B" in the alphabetical list,
perhaps through some affinity between
their names and the name of Booze"

Washington, Nov. 17.-Suits by rail-

ed in many parts of the country and

No offer has yet been made by the

Attorney General Gregory has made
no such proposition to the railroads,

may make it necessary for him to en-
ploy other special counsel.

ELECT MANN SPEAKER
Count on Progressives to Vote With
Them-One Short of Majority
in House.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Incompleted
canvasses of the vote in several close
congressional districts have brought
no changes in the unofficial election
results which indicate that 217 Re-
publicans, PIP Democrats and six of
other parties have been elected to the
Sixty-fifth congress.
Representative Doremus, Speaker
Clark and other Democratic leaders
however, confidently expect to cut
down the Republican plurality.
Representative Woods, chairman of
the Republican committee, insisted
that the Republicans undoubtedly
would control the organization of the
House.
Although unofficial returns show the
Republicans to be one short of a ma
jority, they are counting on the Pro-
gressive elected in Minnesota, the Pro-
gressive Republican in Louisiana and
the independent in Massachusetts to
vote with them for James R. Mann for
speaker.

FRENCH LINES ARE SMASHED
ALLIES YIELD GROUND At HEAVY
COST TO ENEMY.
Germans Gain at Two Points While
British Continue to Advance Their
Front North Of Ancre.

London, Nov. 16.-While the British
were further advancing their front
north of the Ancre river, or consolid.
ating their newly won positions, the
French and Germans have been en-
gagged in violent combats both north
and south of the Somme. In both re-
gions the Germans made gains-in the
northern corner and western outskirts
of st. Pierre-Vaast woods, north of the
river and in the eastern part of the
village of Pressoire, south of the
stream.
Germans Suffer Heavy Losses.
The French official communication
in admitting the loss of this ground
says the Germans obtained only limi-
ted advantages at the price of very
heavy losses. In the north the German
attacks extended from Les Beoufs to
the south of Bouchavesnes, front of
five miles and south of the Somme
from Ablaincourt to the Chaulnes
wood, about three miles. The attacks
were launched after violent artillery
preparation.
British Attacks Break Down.
Berlin referring to the British at
tack which gave them the town of
Beaucourt, says that except at Beau
court all the British attacks broke
down with heavy casualties. On the
southern bank of the Ancre the at
tack has already been shattered, says
Berlin, which adds that fighting is
proceeding near Sailly-Saillisel and
Pressoire. According to London, 5,67S
Germans have been made prisoners on
the Ancre front since Monday. The
British losses, considering the extent
of the gains, are declared not to have
been high.
