understand the United States.
Want Patriotism
Il am not going to make a speech, but
l do want to say a word to you along
the lines
we want patriotism, and l don't think
though | do devotedly hope that out OF
the perils and difficulties of this time
may come new birth of the sentiment OF
unity.
The boy is going to thrill at the sight
of the flag today just as he did 50 years
or 100 years ago. We are all going to
thrill when we hear the word of our ma
tional hymn and when we think of the
long years of struggle and determina-
tion that have been brought up to this
doctrine. But we want something more
than thrills. We want thought, we want
intelligence.
We need not vast extent of terri
tory. not great population, not simply
extraordinary statistics Of national
wealth-athough they speak in elo-
ouent words of energy and managing
ability, but what we need more than
anything else is an intelligent compre-
hension Of the ideals of democracy.
Those ideals are that every man shall
have fair and equal chance accord
ing to his talents.
We deplore every condition in
which we find man lower than he
should be under a free government.
We want victories of democracy that
the life of success shall be raised
MY dream Of America is America
represented in public offices by it's pest
men, working entirely for the good Of
the republic and according to the laws
and ordinances established by the
people for the government Of their
conduct and not for their personal or
political desires and ambitions: Amer
lea working her institutions as they
were intended to be worked with men
whose sole object is only to secure the
end for which their offices were de-
signed.
And if one will throw his personal
fortune to the winds, he will perform
in each place, high or low, the mani
fest obligations of that place, we will
soon have those victories of democracy
which will make the Fourth of July in
its coming years a far finer and nobler
desire than it has ever been in the
fortunate years Of the past"

Roosevelt Prefers
War to the Existing
Peace With Mexico

Oyster Bay, y. Y, July 4.-Theodore
Roosevelt, addressing his fellow villagers
at Fourth of July celebration here to-
day for the first time in several years.
asserted that r preferred war to the
peace that the United States is at present
having with Mexico. He added that in
the event of an actual declaration of war
and a call made for volunteers he would
give his home folk the first opportunity
to Join with him in proffering their SER
vices to the government
Col. Roosevelt declared. however that
he would rally around him the single men
and those without families dependent
upon them rather than choose from all
classes of men, as in the case of the
national guardsmen now called to the
border.
The former President did not expect to
make a speech but Frederick r. Coudert,
who was the orator of the day, introduced
him and the villagers would not rest
until Col. Roosevelt had addressed them
His speech was very brief He carefully
refraned from mentioning the presiden-
tial campaign and referred to the Mexi-
can situation and the possibility Of call
for volunteers only in a casual way.
Col. Roosevelt reviewed a parade Of the
villagers headed by Maurice F. Town
send, with whom he went to school as a
boy.
The cruiser Baltimore came here for
the celebration. The marines participant

New Birth of Sentiment of Unity from Coun-

Bridgehampton, n. Y, July 4
Charles E. Hughes, speaking at the
nearby village of East Hampton today,
told a Fourth Of July audience that
what America needs just now above all
other things, is an intelligent compre-
hension. He devotedly hoped, he said,
for new birth of the sentiment of
unity from the country's present perils.
We are not rash people" he said.
We are not filled with a spirit of
militarism, we are not anxious to get
into trouble, but if anybody thinks the

Fighting about Verdun

The French troops cooperating with
the British in the Somme river region
have Strengthened their line somewhat
by the capture of Barleux, Belloy- En-
Santerre and Estrees and are advanc-
ing on considerably wider front to-
ward Peronne. At Estrees, where 500
prisoners were taken the fighting is
still going on furiously. On the right
end of the line, only slight progress
has been made at some points. 1t is to-
ward the south that the heaviest fight
ing is underway.
A high British officer is credited for
the statement that artillery prepara-
tion will precede all further infantry
attacks as the resourcefulness and
lighting qualities of the Germans make
imperative. The Verdun army Is en-
gagged in particularly heavy fighting

battle of the Somme to interfere with
their opera tions for the capture of the
