Several weeks back when the teach

cow. a number of principals OF Idaho
high schools met separately. Pre-
yiously. there had been some discus
sion concerning an inter-schlostic al
lance for holding debates among high
schools. At that meeting such an
alliance was Endorsed not only to
handle debates but athletics as well.

ROOSEVELT DEN0UNCES ALL WHO OPPOSE THE IDEA OF
 FIGHTING ENCLAND'S WAR
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 1S.-Col- onel Theodore Roosevelt, in an address here tonight in behalf of the Red Cross. denounced the sentiment abroad in the United States against fighting Eng lands war"
 Any man who hates England more than he loves the United States should be thrown from the country" he said.
 The colonel demanded that Ameri- cans curtail their pleasures for the period of the war and instead give the money they might use in such frivoli- ties to the Red Cross or other relief work.
 The colonel pointed to the lesson of a war film the audience had seen ear Her saying: Such pictures as you have seen actually occurred in Europe. The only reason it has not happened to us since April is because of the British fleet and the British and French ar mics. Ours is an ignoble safety. We will get victory this time because of our farsighted allies. Some future time, if we are not ready, we will go down in unpitied disaster.
 There actually have been Americans who recently have been saying: Why should We fight on the same side as England, our ancient foe" l would Iihe IO see dHy I1ldll HeIe enough to say that at this time. Abra- ham Lincoln's rule holds good for the nation. Where a nation is wrong, fear lessly oppose it; when it is the right, stand by it.
 Any man who hates England more than he loves the United States should be thrown from the country. A nation must be judged by it's conduct in any given crisis. An unfriendly attitude against England is as base and unjust as would be an individual grudge be- tween two men because their great grandfathers fought The sentiment is that of traitor
 The colonel cautioned against snOb- bishness in Red Cross work.
 Many little, mean, petty jealousies have come to light in the Red Cross or ganization," he said. This is incred- ible baseness."
 He then made an appeal for the Red Cross His hearers numbered many wealthy residents of Long Island.
 T appeal to those not fortunate enough to have brothers or other dear ones going into the firing line he said.
 Go away prepared to do your part: you women to help to harden the men who must fight. Don't give yourselves enjoyment, if it costs so much it will keep you from giving to these war ne- cessities Above all, in your giving, remember that a year or so from now. when our boys are being wounded and need your aid, will be too late. Do 1t now"
