PASTOR EULOGIZES "TEDDY"
Rev. Hartman Says Not to Accept Former Presidents Offer to Lead Army Across Is Capital Mistake.

Army Across Is Capital Mistake.
 Rev. Nathan H. Hartman, pastor of the Peoples church, delivered an- other patriotic address last evening in which he again urged universal train ing and eulogized Theodore Roosevelt, who, he said, was the only man in the country who saw the issue at the be- ginning of the war.
 That the United States owes a long standing debt to France for the loan of Lafayette and the army of Rocham- beau was another statement of the preacher, who added that now the flag of the United States, is needed on the European battlefronts and 1t should be sent. Again eulogizing T. R., Pastor Hartman said: ''Theo- dore Roosevelt is the greatest Ameri- can of them all. He has never failed in anything he undertook save when beneheads have stood in his way with political power to stop him or head him off. And if he is headed off here and his patriotic offer declined it will be boneheads that do it."
