covery that note writing is not an anti
dote to murder The pacifists assured us
that note writing and similar intellectual
exercises would avert all difficulties and
keep foreign nations feeling friendly to-
ward us. AS a matter Of fact, while we
have been writing these notes the loss OF
life among noncombatant men, women and
children on the ships which were tor
pedoed and about which we wrote notes has
exceeded the total number Of lives lost IN
both the Union and confederate navies
during the entire civil war. Think OF
that. friends Such has been the net re-
suit of our note writing; and incidentally,
we have incurred the contemptuous dis
like of all the great powers engaged IN
the war AS regards the loss of Amerl-
can lives and the sinking of these ships,
hold Germany less responsible that hold
this nation. Germany is engaged in life
and death struggle, and we need not ex-
pect that she will forego any advantage
which the weakness or timidity of our ma
ton, of this republic, offers her.
"We have suffered a loss of friendly
feeling with each of the countries at war,
and we have been within grave danger OF
trouble that would eventually lead to our
being dragged into war with one or more
Of them.
eff, as soon as the great war broke out,
our navy had been modified and a COM
petent man put at the head Of the Navy
Department (appointed for national and
service reasons instead of purely political
reasons), and if we had begun vigorously
to prepare, and had shown that we meant
what we said, the Lusitania would never
have infringed on our rights; and we
should today be absolutely free from all
danger of war.
Advocates Preparedness to Avoid War
''Let my pacifst friends understand that
[ am advocating preparedness so as to
avoid war, and am advocating prepared
ness in the work of peace as in military
matters. [ believe in a thoroughly eff
cient navy, the second in size in the world.
I believe in small but thoroughly eff
cient regular army, an army of 25O,OOO
men, with a proper reserve. This would
give us a mobile army Of 125,O00 men.
But back of the regular army and navy
must stand the strength of the people
themselves, and this strength must be pre-
pared in advance or it will be utterly use
less in time of trial 4"

Ford Compared to Tories and Copperhead

''But all that I have thus said, can with
truth be said of many, perhaps Of most, of
the Tories of the revolutionary war and
Of many or most Of the pacifsts Of the
civil war, the extremists among whom
were popularly known as Copperheads.
Many Of these Tories and civil war
pacifsts were men Of fine character and
upright purpose, who sincerely believed
in the cause they advocated. They in
cluded all the men who were the pacifists
of their day These pacifsts who formed
so large proportion Of the old-time Tories
and Copperheads abhorred and denounced
the militarism Of Washington in 1776 and
of Lincoln in 1861. They were against all
war and all preparedness for war. In the
revolutionary contest they insisted that
Washington was the embodiment of
anarchic militarism.

Would Sacrifice Freedom for Peace

eff these pacifsts of the revolution and
civil war had had their way, they would
have put an immediate stop to much suf-
fering and much loss Of life They would
have secured immediate peace They
would have turned men away from mill
tary training into the path of ordinary
civil occupation. They would have secured
the applause Of every peace at-any-
price man at home and abroad. And un-
Willingly they would have utterly ruined
this nation. They would have prevented
it's being a nation. They would have made
the countrymen Of Lin c O n objects
of scorn and derision, and they would
have made Of this great republic kissing
and a byword among the nations of the
earth. They would have purchased peace
at the moment by ignoble submission to
wrong, by ignoble cowardice. *

Roosevelt or not, his statements are al
ways absolutely clear-cut and fearless,
and he never leaves any one in doubt as
to what he means. This quality is at a
premium among American statesmen to-
day. Among many other things, Mr..
Roosevelt said
For Mr.. Ford personally | feel not
merely friendliness, but in many respects
very genuine admiration There is
much in the methods and very much in
the purposes with which he has conducted
his business, notably in his relations to his
working people, that commands my hearty
sympathy and respect. Moreover, there is
always something attractive to an Ameri-
can in the career of a man who has raised
himself from the industrial ranks until he
is one Of the captains Of industry

ARABIA SUNK BY
GERMAN CRAFT
Semi-Official News to That
Effect Causes Big Stir
at Capital.

WASHINGTON, Nov. q. - An
nounce ment by the semiofficial over
seas News agency that Geman sub
marine sank the British liner Arabia
made deep impression in official
quarters here today and ap-
parently removed all possibility that
its case might take its place with that
of the Persia sunk in the Mediterran-
can long ago in some manner never
cleared up.
Officials were loath to discuss the
matter in the absence OF official in
formation which, il is understood is
being sought from all sources. Some,
of them expressed surprise, however.
that the attack upon the Arabia had
been semi-officially admitted. II was
suggested that the Overseas dis
patch might mean that Germany was
preparing to make a test OF this I'm
the armed ship controversy with the
United States or that in some way n
minor official hostile TO Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Hollweg's submarine
policy might have allowed the dis
patch TO get out, seeing in it an ap-
portunity to force the issue.

Tulsans Accord Artist an
Ovation at Apollo Club
Opening.
BALLADS DELIGHTFUL
Selections From Irish and
English Offered: Club
Work Praised.


The Apollo club made its initial bow
for the lSlG-l1 year last evening at
the Grand theatcr which was filled
for the occasion with musc-loVing
folk of Tulsa. II is in its fourth sea
son, the second under the direction of
Robert Boice Carson.
Reinald Werrenrath, a leading bari
tone of the American concert stage,
was soloist, appearing for the second
time before an audience in this city
ana the ovation which was tondered
him doubtless made him glad that he
had again included Tulsa in his pres
ent tour of the southwest. His hearers
fairly idolized this big wholesome
singer, calling repeatedly for encores,
to which he responded quite gener-
ously.
Mr.. Wcrrcnrath's program was Sc
lected with a view to pleasing lovers
of music as a whole and its appeal in
oratorio, classic, ballad and character
singing found a ready sympathy and
understanding on the part of the audi
ence. His offerings were made in a
spirit of reverence for the best there
IS in musical art and were received
likewise, by all who heard him in last
evenings offerings. His ballad sing
ing seemed especially to delight and
three selections from the old Irish and
English, each called forth encores
again and again
BY special request he sang Kipling's
Danny Deaver" again this season and
his Interpretation of Danny's eXecu-
ton was both realistic and dramatic.
The closing number of the program,
The Song of the Timber Trail" writ
ten and dedicated to the artist by
Stanley Avery, was sung by the club
with the incidental solo by Mr.. Wer-
renrath. II was an unusual number
depicting the blazing of the trail
through the great northwestern coun-
try, and its singing was particularly
appropriate in this section of the west
as well Full of bravery and courage
its lines both thrilled and spurred to
oudeaVor. Mr.. Werrenrath was ac-
companied by Harry Spicr, who is
travelling with him on his present con-
cert tour
The singing of the club directed by
Mr.. Carson, was the occasion of much
favorable comment both as to its fine
appearance and excellent progress
under Mr.. Carson's direction. Each
seemed imbued with that spirit of CO.
operation which accomplishes things
IN musical way as well as in profess
sional life and the marts of trade and
the goal of the clubs ambition is to
he placed on par with the foremost
mems choral clubs in the west.
Financially this seasons artists
course promises to be successful in
that the club will he enabled to give
concert series which il has never
before been Tulsa's privilege to enjoy.
The club has set no monetary mark.
Its object for the present being one of
upllft and to aid in the pioneering OF
music In Oklahoma.
