 NEW YORK. oct. 5.-Theodore Roosevelt speaking here tonight at National service" mass meeting un- der the auspices of the mayors com mitee on national defense, declared the only peace which will make the world safe for democracy must be based upon the complete overthrow of Germany and the dissolution Of Austria and Fur key. Included in the program he out lined were free Arabia and Armenia, Poland and Lithuania with an inde- pendent Czech commonwealth and a Jugo-Slav state.
 Continually we hear rumors of peace, he said. T think the circulation of such rumors is injurious to America and to the cause of decency and de- mocraey. We should make it clearly understood that the conduct of Ger many has been such that we regard as enemies of mankind all people who would strive to bring about peace based upon treating Germany, Austria and Turkey on the one hand, and the allies on the other. as standing on footing of equality. The only peace that will make the world safe for democracy is peace based upon the complete
 
 tion cf Austria and Turkey.
 Unless We have used the phrase in hypocritical and insincere manner, this is the way to make the world safe for democracy and the only way: and this means that the only peace we can accept is the peace of overwhelm- ing victory. Turkeys conduct toward the Armenian and Syrian christian has been such as to make it evident that the Turk must not only be driven out of Europe but the empire destroyed Give Arabia freedom. give Armenia freedom. Establish free city at Con- stantinople and keep the straits abso- lutely open for the Russians and every one else.
 Restore Italian-Austria to Italy and Rumanian- Hungary to Rumania.
 As fer Belgium, she is not only en- titled to restoration, but to the heaviest kind of indemnity. Let France have Alsace Lorraine; let Poland include the whole Baltic coast to which she is en- titled. Let the English and the Japa- nese keep the colonies they have won
 AS for the United States, we wish nothing except to have it clearly un- derstood that the Monroe doctrine is to he upheld in the future as in the past. South of the equator this doctrine can be left to Brazil Argentina and Chile. who are strong enough to maintain it and whom we will aid in maintaining 1t only when they so desire
 Peace should come along the lines thus roughly indicated. Then do what ever treaties and agreements can dc to make the peace permanent and mini mize the chances of Var in the future But avoid folly and hypocrisy and do not make believe ilat any paper scheme will bring the millennium or abolish all chances of future war. Aft CT we have done all we can do by Hague conferences and arbitration agreements, treaties, let us profit by the lessons of the last three and quarter years and remember that all these things taken together will be an utterly insufficient safeguard for peace against alien aggression. There is but one permanent method of securing safety for this nation, and that is by training our strength in time of peace by preparedness; and the only effective preparedness must rest on system of universal obligatory military training for all our young men"
 Referring to the Bolo Pasha revela- tiols, lie ueCldTeu that statements aI- ready published had disclosed that >the German ambassador for the last two years prior to the brvi.,ing off of dip- lomatic relations was engaged in a campaign in this country to influence public opinion through the press, through pacifist organizations and similar bodies. How large the corrup- tion fund that was spent in America was. we do not yet know. But it was certainly very large.'
