ALLIES NOT READY
TO TALK PEACE,
SAYS GREY
Will Fight Until Equal Rights Are
Established for All Nations
PEACE MUST Be PERMANENT
World Must Be Freed From the
Oppression of Prussian
Militarism.

London, Oct. 24.-Another import
ant contribution to the discussions on
peace was made by Viscount Grey
secretary for foreign affairs, at a lun-
cheon given yesterday by the foreign
press association, at which the dlplo-
matte representatives of all the allied
countries were present. The foreign
secretary made it plain that the allies
were not prepared to discuss peace
terms and gave no indication of what
their terms might be, but welcomed
any efforts by neutral countries for a
combination to prevent future wars.
Some of the most important passages
of the secretary's speech follow:
Il take it on the word of the prime
minister that we shall fight until we
have established the supremacy and
right of free development under equal
conditions. each in accordance with
its genius, of all states, great and
small, as a family of civilized man
kind.
Nations fighting for their existence
with daily increasing prospects OF
seeing victory brought nearer, still
knowing that if they stop short of
victory they stop short of everything
for which they are struggling, can
not be expected to spend much time
thinking about what might happen
after victory is secured But the neu-
trails can do il. | observe that not
only President Wilson, but Mr..
Hughes, is supporting a league start
ed, not with the object of interfering
with the belligerents in this war, but
which will do its part in making peace
secure in the future.
The foreign secretary insisted upon
the necessity after the war of arriv-
ing at some agreement with respect
to the laws of war, arguing that the
mere indiscriminate employment of
all the resources of science is the
prospect which threatens civilization
and the existence of the race itself.
OF the necessity "of freeing the
world from the oppression Of Prus-
sian militarsm," he said: I'VE know
that if mankind has any birthright it
is that of peace and liberty, and it is
for that we are fighting. When we
are asked how long the struggle is
to continue We can only reply that it
must continue until these things are
secured"

GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE
viii Campaign for si5,ooo,0oo Cali
fornia Highway 6ond Issue.

A good roads committee of 100 has
been organized by the Los Angeles,
Cali chamber of commerce to cam
paign actively for the 5,000,00c
proposed state issue of bonds for high
ways, to be voted on at the general
election November Z. In 1912 the
state voted $19,000,000 for trunk roads
north and south, with which 1l22
miles of paved highway has been
constructed. An additional $4,000 900
is required to complete the system to
include the 29e0 miles originally
planned. The $3OOO,OOO additional.
if the bonds are voted will be utilized
in the construction Of new trunk lines
one of which will olen up miles of
hitherto inaccessible mountain seen
cry in the Mt. Whitney district ad-
iacent to Los Angeles, nov famed for
its hunting and fishing. Interest on
the proposed issue will be paAd by the
counties in proportion to the work
done therein. 1t is believed that this
provision will aid materially in car
rying the bonds. Los Angeles Gown
ty will pay more than any in tine state
but its highway system will be bene-
fitted in proportion.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Oct. 23.-Theo-

ception here today. After breakfast
he was the central figure in parade.
There was a mounted escort, includ-

two COW girls, who presented Colonel
Roosevelt with bouquets and were
thanked and complimented
Colonel Roosevelt spoke from a plat
form in front of downtown hotel. He
denounced Secretary of War Baker for
Bakers comparison of Washington's
soldiers with Mexican revclutionists
and criticized the President for put
ting Secretary Baker in the cabinet in
the first place and for keeping him
there after the reported comparison.
He said Mr.. Baker was "exquisitely
unfit.
This statement of Mr.. Bakers, ac-
ouiesced in by the silence of Mr.. VIII
son." said Colonel Roosevelt, SHOWS
Mr.. Wilson in his heart believes tnat
Washington was not better than VIVA
or Carranza; that the men OF the revo
luton stood on level with the mis-
creant crew who during the last three
years and half in Mexico have muir
dered Americans by the hundreds and
Mexicans by the tens of thousands.
These men have perpetrated every
species of outrage upon women and
children and have turned all Mexico
into hell of starvation. Disease and
misery; they have done this with the
active or passive assistance OF the
American government under the lead
ership of Mr.. Wilson and his cabinet
officer now defends them by the foul
est slander on the men who made us
nation"
Colonel Roosevelt said the man who
professed such doctrines was wholly
unfit to stay in the cabinet and the
President who retained him was who'll
ly unfit to remain President of the
United States.

The Republican state committee is

frequently asked since headquarters
We're opened here why a campaign
with no contests for state Offices and
why should Vermont wage a campaign
safely Republican? The question at
first may seem reasonable. but upon

tion that has been maintained for
years Her solid or practically solid.

tention of the people the country over.
If in the former September state

thousand was given the state ticket,
