CAMP UPTON, Nov. 1s.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, appearing to-day
for the first time before the New York
drafted men in training here, declared
that the woman "who did not raise her
boy to be a soldier" should be deprived
Of the vote won so recently. Colonel
Roosevelt's fiery onslaughts against
male and female pacifsts, coupled with
his genial good humor and unbounded
delight in everything about camp
captured this ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and oficers-to a man.
Colonel Roosevelt spent less than
two hours in camp. With true Roose-
veltien moderation he didn't do a
thing during that time except deliver
two addresses before several thousand
men in khaki, inspect barracks and
other buildings, make a general tour OF
the camp, hold reunion with men
who had fought alongside him at San
Juan, and review an artillery unit
manoeuvring in his honor. At the end
Of which he strobe 10 the automobile
which carried him back TO Oyster Bay,
shouting 10 the cheering soldiers who
crowded about:
by George, boys, I'm more pleased
than can say, and III bet on you
against any sauerkrauters that ever
were bornl"
On his arrival here Mt 8 o'clock, Colo
mel Roosevelt was met by Major Gen
eral Bell, camp commander, and es-
corted to the 7. NJ. c. A. auditorium.
Several thousand men Of the 305th
Field ARTILLERY and the 302d Engineers,
with a sprinkling OF men and women
visitors from New York, we're waiting
for him,
Joins in Singing
Colonel Roosevelt, sturdier in appear
snce than ever. STROBE on the platform
Just as the audience was singing Amer

threatened 20 interrupt the anthem
and Joined in the singing Justify.
In introducing the ex-President. Cen
eral Bell announced that Colonel Roose-
welt had promised to speak to all the
men in camp before their departure for
France. Colonel Roosevelt nodded his
head and smiled broadly when General
Bell said the Colonel would come as
many times as necessary TO reach the
entire corps.
Colonel Roosevelt said, in part:
"You men Of the National Army are
prominently entitled TO honor of all
those In this country. To you is given
the supreme privilege Of meeting the
call of your country. as the men of
Washington's time met the call OF their
day. as those Of Lincoln met the call
of their generation.
"The man who hasn't fitted himself
TO be a soldier, and the woman who
hasn't raised her boy TO he soldier
are not entitled to the suffrage. Con-
scientious directors are nice enough

University of

Fort Sill is the ar1ny's university. 1t
offers the graduate course In military
tactics. It's instruction is the last
word in modern warfare. Its students
on graduation will teach officers in the

Unfit to Vote, Says Roosevelt
Paci6sts Are Trying to Put Pgtai on Uncle SAM the
Colonel Asserts-Tes Upton Soldiers He Will
Back Them Against "Sauerkrauters

member of society"
Colonel Roosevelt divided pacihsts and
conscientious DIRECTORS into two classes
those afraid of their own lives. and
those who had real objections to TAX
ing the lives Of others. The first class.
he said. he would put 70 work digging
trenches or cooking in the danger zone,
the second he would put on a mine
sweeper.

He Is trying TO put pig-tail on Uncle
Sam"
The speaker received the greatest
applause Of the day, shared by General
Bell. when he said:
"The greatest universities OF this
country are the military training
camps presided over by professors o,
the type of Major General Bell. One
OF nv sons in the service told me that
his four months of military training
taught him more than his three years
at college"
The drafted men raised the roof OF
the large pine tabernacle once more
when Colonel Roosevelt said he would
have every army officer come up from
the ranks, no man going to West Point
or Annapolis before serving as a prl-
vnte.
Talks to Negro Troops
Colonel Roosevelt's second address
was made In the knights Of Columbus
Hall to the 367th Infantry, a negro
organization. Here the Colonel related
once more the heroic deeds OF the
negro cavalrymen Of the 9Th and 10Th
Reeiments in Cuba, and asked the men
TO preserve the splendid military
record then made. He said General
Rel would see justice done to every
man. and the latter stepped forward TO

Committee Agrees to Favor
ably Report Two Measures
at National Convention
One Hits Steel Mills
Other Aimed at Big Textile
Factories, Principally of
the South
T,Stnf Correspondence

BUFFALO, Nov. 1s.-Ignoring the
historic policy Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor Of asking nothing
through legislation that labor may get
through its own exertions, the commit
tee on a shorter work day has agreed
to report fayorably two resolutinos
committing the federation to Federal
provision for the eight-hour day at the
convention now in session here.
The first, aimed at the United States
Steel Corporation and the Bethlehem
Steel Company, fixes eight hours As the
basic day for laborers employed on
government work. The committee also
favors a forty-eight-hour week. for
women and minors engaged in work
that may enter into interstate com
merce.
The steel companies, which have in
great measure successfully resisted the
efforts to organize their employees and
to shorten the hours Of labor, employ
many men on twelve-hour shifts. These,
it is asserted, have been permitted to
ignore the eight-hour provision on gov
eminent work through q forced inter-
probation of the law. This condition, II
is asserted, will be remedied by the
first measure.
Measure Aimed at Textile Mills
The measure providing for the eight
hour day for women and minors Is
aimed IT The textile mills, particularly
Of the South, where it has been found
impossible to get the legislation OBJ
tained in the more progressive North
ern states.
On these resolutions it is expected

The construction and use Of the piston
is included in his course.
Automatic rifles of the Chauchat type
and light machine guns of the Lewis
type are the weapons to which fourth
pays special attention.
The course in machine guns runs
two months, twice as long as the other
five courses. 1t includes a study OF
the heavy rife calibre machine gun on
the Vickers type and Of the one-pound-
er gun. -,
In the engineering department the
course includes sappers, bombers and
pioneers. Field Notifications for line
troops are also studied.
More than 800 officers are enrolled
in the present classes at Fort Sill.
They will soon return &c their respec-
tive camps 70 pass on their newly ae-
ouired information. Several hundred
more men will replace them for IN
struction.
The parent course In gas defence is
at this school. Each man there devotes
ten hours a week TO becoming familiar
with tae gas mask. He learns to get
into It in six seconds. A longer period
might be fatal. Officers trained in the
Infantry School Of Arms teach other
officers gas defence, and they IN turn
teach enlisted mon. Every man before
he goes abroad must don the gas mask
in six seconds or less.

MAKE YOUR WILL AND REPORT
FOR DUTY.

If the war lasts for any length of
time we expect the spectacular chap
ters of its heroism to be written in
the air What of the qualifications
of the men by whom the record is to
be made?
First, physical fitness in which
there is no blemish; then nerves of
steel, approved by the severest test;
and, finally, the better education a
man has the better chances will be
for his getting in and to carry on. f"
We should not run away with the
idea that an aviator fitted for war
service is merely a chauffeur of the
air He is all that with a great, big
plus sign following. He must be a
man who can be taught to fly ma
chine in week. He must be compe-
tent to take scientific and complex
mechanical instruction in heroic
doses and profit by the treatment.
He must have the heart to greet
death as a jest; for, as it is said, his
orders are, over there on the battle
front; Make your will and report
for duty"
An air fighter must be wireless
operator, at least Of the second class,
which means that he must be almost
good enough to qualify as an expert.
He must he real, practical photog-
rapher. He must be. a machine
gun operator, which means that be-
yond the knowledge necessary to
work the gun, he must know every
part of the weapon as II he had made
it, and he able to repair 1t immedi-
ately. He must understand and be
able to use the theory of range find
ing. He must be a Typographical
map maker who can turn out work
that others can read and understand
without assistance. With all this he
must be mechanical engineer COM
petent to deal, and at once, with
all the possibilities of any problem
that may confront him.
It is perfectly evident that air
warfare is to command the services
of the highest class fighting man
ever bred.
