SPEECH BY ROOSEVELT HERE
PUTS HIS "HAT IN THE RING

we say Let's form organizations TO vol
unteer to pay taxes"
"Heah 'eah" yelled an Englshman
| meaning hear"
Property Is no more sacred than life,"
said the Colonel leaning forward and
sticking HIS chin out into the house, which
| promptly came down"
II wouldn't have the son OF the richest
man in the country pay any one to fight
/ for him; | would have him go into mill
| tary training with the son Of a laborer
and fight alongside the laborer, too. II
| not fight, not vote"
| But the biggest appreciation the Colo
| nels wit got was when he said a man
/ who loved other nations as much as his
own was on an exact moral par with the
| man who loved other women as much
as his wife. When the storm died down
he added. And he's Just little behind
the latter. for the latter at least does
not pretend to be moralist."
LINCoLN's PREPAREDNESS.
There were thousands OF men in 1854
who had voted against Lincoln. III they
had had their way, he said there would
be no Union today and every black man
would be slave Those voters were the
anti-preparedness men of their day. He
rather stunned the crowd when he said
the French aeroplane corps was bigger
and better equipped than the whole army
of the United states. This brought him
to the question of preparedness in the
arts of peace.
IL am told that airshlps will soon be
able to carry mail and commodities of
small bulk. How are we going to meet
the problem of regulating that traffic2
Are we going to walt till the problem
bumps into us? How can is separate
sovereignties handle that problem?"
He was for national Capitalization.
There should be one sovereignty to which
all the great interstate corporations do
ing an Interstate business should be rea-
sonably responsible. Efficiency could not
be gained from conflicting control by IS
sovereignties over railroads, telephones
and other social and industrial factors
Praise of centralized German efficiency
and control followed.
PRAISES GERMAN SYSTEM.
at would be wicked thing to initiate
be abhorrent to show timidity or weak
ness with Germany where Germany Is
wrong, but It would be silly not to profit
by Germany's lesson in efficiency"
This military success of Germany was
the result OF advancement in methods Of
obtaining a reasonably fair division of
profits between employer and employed.
"And the l. w. w. doesn't flourish in
Germany" he laughed. He would be
just as careful to punish the laboring
man as the capitalist when they did
wrong. and he considered it the worst
form of bad citizenship not to see the
faults of both the mob ana the plutocrats
equally

BULGARS HOLD AL,

MUCH INDIGNATION IN GREECE

Paris, Aug. 27.-The Bulgars have
occupied all but one of the Greek forts
about Kavala, the important Greek
port on the Aegean Sea, the War Of
fee announced officially tonight. The
town of Kavala has not been entered.
On Friday two British monitors and
a cruiser steamed into the Gulf of Ka-
vala and bombarded the forts, on
which the red, white and green flag of
Bulgaria had replaced the blue and
white of Greece.
The occupation Of the Kavala forts
secures for the Bulgars valuable
port on the Aegean, but most OF all
presents an obstacle to any possible
landing of allied troops there anu vir-
tually puts into the nands OF Bulgaria
the principal city OF northeastern
Greece, which Bulgaria covets.
News of the taking of the Kavala
forts by the Bulgars has caused more
Indignation among the Greeks than
any act of aggression their enemies Of
the north have committed, unless 1t
be the wiping out OF the Greek garri-
son at Seres. The Greeks can hardly
be persuaded by King Constantine OF
anybody else that Bulgaria, once Sc
curely in possession of Kavala, will
ever return it to Greece.
The invasion of Albania from the
east by another Bulgar column is an
nounced also in the official statement
issued from Sofia yesterday and teis
graphed here. This column marched
south from Ochrida Lake, on the Dor
der between Serbia and Albania, and
captured the town OF Malik. which is
on the River Devoi, ten miles within
the border between Greece and al
bania.
Malik is seventy miles northeast Of
the Albanian port of Aviona, which Is
occupied by the Italians. Fightint
there has been reported recently, ant
few days ago the Italians occupied
commanding positions on the Adriati'
shore. Evidently warfare between
Italians and Bulgars is in sight. Mos
Of the troops occupying northern Al
bania are believed to be Austrians.
Plenty Of hot fighting between Bul
gars and Serbs and some patrol fight
ing and artillery. b0mbardment be
tween the British and the French ant
their Bulgar foes are reported in thu
various official statements. which con
flict somewhat. Most OF the fighting
is occurring upon the flanks, wher'
the Bulgars are pushing forward int,
Greek territory occupied by small de
tachments OF the Allies. The mali
attack at the center has not dc
veloped.

is At WAR
WITH GERMANY
AFTER TODAY
Formal Declaration Of HOStiIities
Made at Rome
NOTICE THROUGH SWIlzERlAhD D
Unusual Procedure Necessary as
Nations Severed Diplomatic Re-
lations Last Year.

Rome, Aug. 2S.-Italy has declared
war on Germany The following Of
ficial announcement was made here
yesterday "The Italian government
has declared through the Swiss gov
ernment that it considers itself, from
August 2S, at war with Germany"
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war In fact,
Italy's formal declaration amounts to
little more than official recognition Of
a state OF affairs which already ex-
listed. The declaration became newt
able when Italy recently sent troops
to Salonica to cooperate in the cam
paign of the entente allies ON the
Macedonian front, inasmuch as Ger
many is directing the opposing forces
and has troops on this battle line.
ltaly's position in regard to Ger
many had been anomalous after Italy
withdrew from the triple alliance on
May % of last year and declared war
on Austria. Although by this act she
arrayed herself on the side of the en-
lCiiNC ppN Ci anu dSdiboA htl lOl lltl
allies, Germany and Austria, she re.
NAMED officially at peace with Ger.
many. Before Italy took this step
Germany exerted every effort to in
duce her to remain neutral, sending
to Rome as ambassador Prince Won
Buelow former chancellor and one of
the ablest statesmen OF Germany.
The prince succeeded for some time
in averting war between Austria and
Italy, and when he saw a rupture was
inevitable took steps toward preserya-
tion of an official peace between Ger
many and Italy. On behalf of his gov
ernment he negotiated with Italy a
special agreement under which in case
of war between Austria and Italy Ger.
many and Italy pledged themselves TO
respect the properties and lives OF
their respective subjects in each
others domains. This meant for Ger
many a guarantee of many millions OF
dollars worth of properties in Italy
and for Italy the safety of 10000
Italian subjects who were still living
in Germany.
Although officially at peace unit
yesterday, Italy and Germany severed
diplomatic relations last year. On the
day following Italy's declaration OF
war against Austria Prince Won Bue
low and his staff departed from Rome
and two days later the Italian EN-
bassor at Berlin, Ricardo Bollati
was withdrawn. II was on account
of this fact that Italy adopted the un
usual procedure of asking Switzerland
to inform Germany of her declaration
OF war.
