which brought this country to the verge OF
a diplomatic break with Germany. as well

the war has led TO n complete breakdown
OF the code OF International rights, and this
he blames on the 'Pontius Piiate-llke con-
struction which President Wilson has put
on neutrality"
President Wilson's isnoble Sinking OF
responsibility has been mlsciothed in an
utterly misleading phrase, the phrase OF
a coward. He kept us out of war" said
the Colonel In his statement. "In actual
reality, war has been creeping nearer and
nearer until It stares at US from just be-
yond our three-mile limit and we face Il
without policy. plan. purpose or preparA-
tlon."
Colonel Roosevelt says President Wilson
betrayed his leadership OF the noutrals, to
which he laid claim In a recent note to
Great Britain, when he permitted the sink
ing OF two neutral vessels by the German
undersea visitor to pass without protest
He also raises the question whether Ger
