Kansas City, Mo, May 30-"Mili-
tary preparedness against war was
today urged upon the nation by Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt. Pointing out
that this nation was wealthy. weak
and no longer isolated, the former
president declared it possible that

Roosevelt denounced the admins

He insisted that the kind of neu-

effect of earning for this nation the
contempt of all beIligerents and
brought it to the verge of trouble
with them.

Roosevelt said Weakness combined
