The Third Term.

In that fine moment he had the night
the news reached him of his election to
succeed himself in the presidency, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
"On the 4th of March next | shall have
served three and one half years. and this
three and one half years constitute my
first term The wise custom which lin
its President to two terms regards the
substance and not the form. and under
no circumstances will | be candidate
fol or accept another nomination.
This announcement, as all can remem-
Der, was very much applauded by both
sides. 1t carried the spirit as we'll as
the letter of what everybody priced
The wise custom Mr. Roosevelt quoted
went back to and was established by
Washington. No effort to break it had
ever been made until 1880, and that had
failed. The republican party had de-
med even a third nomination for third
term to Gen. Grant. Mr.. Roosevelt spoke,
therefore, with full knowledge and ap-
probation of the subject, and no pro-
nouncement of his ever did his heart and
head greater credit.
As time passed and his strength with
the people grew, there was suggestion
that Mr.. Roosevelt might reconsider his
determination and offer in 1908 for an
other term. He heard of this. and
promptly vetoed it. In December, 1907,
six months before national convention
time, he said: II have not changed and
shall not change that decision thus an
nounced." Nor did he change it. He
gave his support to Mr.. Taft, and his
influence led in both Mr. Taft's nomina-
ton and election
What occurred later we all know
Upon his return from Africa, Mr.. Roose-
welt, surrounded by admirers and for
mer supporters, began to plan a return
to politics. He could not live out of
the game. The lure of lettered ease, the
activity of an educator, did not appeal
and back into the political game he
went.
Having been President, and having
enjoyed the exercise of presidential
power, he would not aim lower; and so
he trumped up a qualification of the
promise he had made in 1904 and re-
peatcd in 1907 He had meant, he said,
third consecutive term. The Taft
term had left him free to seek the presi-
dency again.
Nobody accepted his explanation.
Those who rallied to him in 1912 did
so upon the ground that the third term
custom should no longer bind, and es-
pecially in the case of a man as we'll
qualified for the presidency as Mr.
Roosevelt had shown himself to be. But
his party would not have him again, and
he met defeat as bolter

A Civilian Preparedness Parade.

1t has been decreed by the Secretaries
of War and Navy that no members of
the uniformed forces of the United
States shall march in the preparedness
parade in this city next Wednesday.
Their reason is that this should be ex-
clusively citizens demonstration, and
that it is not proper that the organ
lied forces of the country should par
ticipate.
While this decision will detract some
what from the spectacular aspect of the
parade it is doubtless wise and will add
to its real significance. An outpouring
of civilians demanding that the nation
equip itself for defense regardless of
the predictions of soldiers and sailors
cannot fail to be impressive. This pa
rade is not designed as mere spectacle,
to give pleasure to multitude. 1t would
be indeed ideal if every member of the
community could march with no thought
of beholders.
1t now appears that there is little
chance of any enactment by Congress
making June IA legal holiday in the
District, owing to the fact that the
House is now working on Unanimous
consent" basis with no provision for spe-
cial rules or other means of effecting
legislation against which there is any in
dividual objection. The obstacles thus
far thrown in the way of the joint reso-
luton, however narrow and unjustifed
the motive, are insuperable and it will
probably be necessary to adjust the
program without the enjoyment of a
legal holiday. The most serious effect
of this denial of complete closure of
all business is that it may prevent par
ticipation by the banking forces. If,
however, the parade is as long as now
seems probable representatives of the
banks may have chance to join the
line in the afternoon.

an immense area of the czar's dominions.
Since then there has been no pronounced
activity on the eastern front, the Rus
sian campaign consisting almost exclu
sively of the operations in the Trans
caucasus and Armenia.
1t is obvious that Russia has chosen
the point Of the present attack care
fully The Austrian ranks have, it is
known, been materially weakened along
the eastern front in order to mass the
greatest possible force for the drive
into Italy. One dispatch states that the
Austrians, however, have prepared the
ground behind the front with fortified
positions and wire entanglements upon
which it is evidently depended to hold
the Russians in check. Progress against
these obstacles will probably be slow,
yet if the Russians have a material pre-
ponderance of numbers and an abun-
dance of supplies these obstacles, in the
light of developments in other parts of
the war field. will not be insuperable.
In this war numbers and munitions count
for more than positions.
1t has been stated that the German
line. which ranges from the neighbor-
hood of Riga southwark through kovno,
Wilma and Grodno to the point where
the present Russian offensive has opened,
has been depleted in much the same way
as the Austrian line. large numbers hav
ing been sent westward to take part in
the Verdun attack. 1t may be that a
supplementary Russian action will begin
on that front in the near future.

TO DEVELOP GYPSUM MINE
 THIRD LEVEL
Manager Nichols Says Product in Such a Demand that New

WORKS START AT ONCE

w. R. Nichols, manager of the Pa cihc Coast Gypsum Company mine at Gypsum, is in the city having arrived from the south on the Prln- cess sophia. Mir. Nichols is acc companied by his son Harry K. Ni- chols. and expects to leave for the mine tomorrow.
 MT. Nichols stated today that shortly after his arrival at the mine work will be started opening mp the third level on the gypsum vein. At the present the mine is working on two levels and is getting all of it's ore from them. but the increased demand for the product of the com pany makes a larger production ne- cessary and 1t must be developed further at once.
 Mir Nichols stated that there was still lots of water in the mine but that it Is being handled by the pumps which were installed recent ly and is not giving very much trou- ble.
 D. c. stapledon, superintendent of the mine left for there yester- day after having been confined in the local hospital with a broken les since May 4th. His injuries have not fully been mended as yet and lt will be necessary to have an op- eration again. according to Mir. Mi chols statement. What effect the operation will have on the rapid completion of the contemplated de- yelopment work l am unable to state. but I think the work will so ahead without any trouble"

Drastic Law to Fit the Needs of the Zone May Be Drawn and Given

SUSPECTED
Movements of a Small Coaster ArOuSeS the
 Attention of
 Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-Actlvi. ties Of persons suspected of being spies employed by foreign govern ments to acquire information regard ing the nature and extent of the de- lenses of the Panama Canal have made the Administration decide to request Congress to supplement the existing laws against the improper acquisition of knowledge of military and naval plans and Qualifications.
 Representatives of the Department of Justice and War and Navy De- partments have been in conference on the subject, and it is expected that they will agree upon some very drastic legislation to be submitted to Congress.
 It is possible that the scope of the conference may be extended beyond the original ideas of a mere protec- ton of the secrets of American coast defenses, to cover generally such attempts as have been common since the beginning Of the present war to destroy powder and intuition plants, upon which the United States government must rely in time of trouble.
 Several of the military powers of the world are believed to have un. dertaken to obtain information as to the character of the defenses O. the Panama canal.
 The latest incident to incite sus- plcion is the operations of little Japanese power vessel ostensibly a fishing launch. which sought to ob- tain a permit for pearl fishing in the waters of Panama Bay and vicinity. The naval authorities have been warned that this craft appeared to have been making surveys and that these were not confined to the wa ter. but extended to the isthmus proper.
 While these operations may have been perfectly innocent in Intent, and such soundings were made and bear lngs taken as might be incident to the pursuit of pearl fisheries, the canal zone authorities have regarded the matter as 0i sufficient import
