NO BONUS
FOR WEIGH

Sergeant We!ch, the Hammond re-
cruiting agent. wishes to set at rest the
story thai has obtained circulation in
some away that recruiting officers are
paid g. bonus of so cents and S1O0 per
head for recruits by the government
This is not true. either here or at any
other station and is a slander on an ef-
fcient CORPS of hustlers.
The sergeant does not get paid cent
but gets his little old so odd bones a
month, and il is mighty poor pay for
what he does.
Second. third and fourth class post
masters were given a bonus. but the
Whiting postmaster gave all the money
he got that way to the Red Cross.

9Th GERMAN
CITY BARRED
Colonel Roosevelt Tells Moose
Convention He Won't Talk
On Same Stage With
Thompson.

PITTSBURGH, July 27.-Wl-
liam Hale Thompson, burgomaster
of the sixth largest German City
in the world" had a rough time IN
Pittsburgh yesterday.
He came here to attend the
world convention of the Loyal
Order of the Moose. bringing with
him a delegation of children from
the Moose home at Mooseheart.
Theodore Roosevelt also was guest
and the presence of the ex-Preslden1
was the thorn in the chaplet that Big
Bill expected to place on his own brow.
COLONEL WON'T HAVE IT.
In the first place. the burgomaster
xran+ed to eat breakfast with the colonel
at the William Penn Hotel. The colonel
said no-and didn't stop at that lie
served notice on the convention man
ayers that if Thompson was allowed TO
talk at the big open-air meeting in front
of the Allegheny courthouse they would
have to get along without him.
The colonel spoke. Big Bill didn't
TEDDY WAS "ouT."
The declination of break bread with
him did not. apparently, have any effect
on the burgomaster. He made call at
Mr.. Roosevelt's hotel. but found /. r.
"out." He declared he would make an
other effort to see Teddy, but didn t
succeed, much to the deep regret or

listening posts" in the hall. just under
the onened transom of the. colonels

INVITE" THREE MONTHS OLD
The officers of the convention had
hard time explaining Thompsons pres
ence to the delegates. The explanation
given was that the invitation to him
was extended three months ago. before
Big Bits pro-German tendencies be-
came known.
The burgomaster attended the con-
ven+ion. He may not know it. but a
committee of safety" was on the job
prepared to stop him instantaneously II
he should give utterance to any express
sion that might be regarded as un-
natriotic. He didn't offend. He simply
read a senli-historical essay bringing
in George III. John Hancock and other
celebrities The Scriptures also receiv-
ed favorable mention. as did 'the lowly

the morning stars stang together Peace

RoosEvELT'S SPEECH.
Colonel Roosevelt. in his address yes
terday afternoon. asserted that the Unit
ed States government in announcing
that the measures of preparedness now
in progress are temporary and will be
stopped as soon as the emergency is
over. is making a criminal refusal tc
provide for the future.
He summed UP what America has ac-
complished since the declaration of a
state of war with Germany by saying
that the United States did not now have

German lines and that months must
pass before one could be manufactured

(United Press STAFF Correspondent
PETROGRAD. July 27.-The struggle
of Premier Kerensky and the provisiona!
government against the discordant ele-
ment in Russia has become a fight to
prevent Russia's return to the old
regime, with its rule of absolutism ana
oppression.
That Kerensky senses the peril Of
a counter revolution coming after the
military breakdown was indicated today
in two different speeches he has delIp: .
cred since Tuesday.
THE government is determined not
to allow the country to relapse in the
direction of the old regime" he said IN
speech to the workmer and soldiers ami
peasants organization yesterday.
ANY attempt to return to a monarchy
will receive the most severe treatment"
he asserted. The breakdown on the
front has created a fruitful soil for
counter revolution"
1t was considered significant in this
connection that Kerensky was in sup
port of the plan to have the provisional
government meet at Moscow next Tues
day in conference with all representa-
tive civic and social institutions in
tl0GlhS liic OAQ buiIid
Once before at the height of the riot
ing in Petrograd the provisional govern
ment considered proposal to move all
governmental activity to Moscow
Kerensky indicated the Moscow meet
ing would be in effect a national con-
gress to discuss Russia and her problems
He said the government would explain
to the congress in perfect frankness the
true situation in the country"
The former regime known as pro-
Germanism would be sufficient incen-
tive to Germany to aid through her
countless spies in Russian any move
ment to restore the Car.
Nicholai Lenine. anti-war agitator and
suspected German spy, was again at
large today following pitched battle
at Pornea in Finland between govern
ment agents and anarchists. A fight
occurred at country palace occupied
by anarchists. Kolonta. ardent support
er of Lenine's. with IL other German
spies were taken.

American submarine chasers operat-
ing with the British fleet constituted,
he said. only a tiny fraction of the
English force. It would be a year arrer
the declaration of war before America
would have a fair number of big cargo
ships.
1--WE have not enough rifles for-our
men," said Colonel Roosevelt. I'VE are
painfully short in equipment. We have
not yet begun to assemble the draft
army. the first elementary officers
training camps have not been finished
and the National Guard has only just
begun to mobilize.
WARNING DISREGARDED.
I'VE have put a fragment of our fine
little regular army into France. and as
it is composed almost exclusively OF
infantry without artillery, 1t would be
helpless against any we'll equipped
enemv we're it not aided by our allies.
This is the sum total of the activi-
ties of a nation of 100. 900, 600 people
and in possession of incalculable wealth
and boundless resources. during the six
months following it's entry lafter two
and one-half years warningy into the
greatest war in history.
The simple truth is that. relatively
to the other great nations of the world
we have in this war exhibited ourselves
a miracle of inefficiency and we shall
always be inefficient during the first
vital months of any war until we 1earr
to prepare in advance.
1T is this utter unpreparedness
which should convey the real lession rc
us of this war. And remember that as
yet we a people. acting through oul
governmental authorities. have not tax

future by introducing a permanent
policy of preparedness.
