ROOSEVELT WANTS
| IBE RAJ ARM !
NEW ARMY SHOULD BE ON THE
FRENCH MODEL.
PRUSSIANISM BARRED
LET EVERY BOY SERVE IN THE
COUNTRY'S RANKS"
Faying the Cost of UnpreparedneSs
by Haste and Waste, DOUGH-
ty Colonel Says.
CRv Assnciot,d Pressl


Philadelphia. June 12.-Theodore
Roosevelt, in an address at the an
rval memorial services of the rail
road brotherhoods and the Order o.
Railway Teiegraphers, asserted that
this eountry's new army should be
ION the French. the democratic, MOD
el. not on the Prussian, the aristo-
cratic, model
Let every boy in the country serve
in the ranks" he said, "and let the
promotion to officers come to the boy
who shows himself fittest, whether ho
j. the son of bricklayer or a bank
CT; of brakeman or railway pres
iaent. Let discipline be strict in the
lerformanee of duty, obedience instant
and unfaltering; but outside of serv-
ice let it be understood that there is
10 social line of cleavage between
tie one who does his full duty in one
position and those who do their fun
outy in another. Doing their full du-
t%-that is the only test"
Colonel Roosevelt declared. through
Jnpreparedness and taking little
thought of the morrow, the people of
the United States have been attibu-
ting to their vi1tues much which they
really owe to the fact that they are
q. a new continent separated by two
great oceans from the Old World.
I'VE have utterly failed to prepare
FOR the war that has come upon US,
he continued, "and now. with the ut
most energy and good will, but with
a vast expenditure of money and eff
tort, and with infinite hurry and con-
fusion and laundering We are endeav-
lling to make good-and at best We
can only partially make good-the
Gamage wrought by our foolish ref.
sal to look unpleasant facts in the
face"
Referring to the Industrial situa
tlon, the former president declared
this is neither the time nor the place
to attempt to work out in detail all
that must be done in attempting t.
solve the industrial problem"
But" he added, sit is eminently
desirable to lay down a few broad
principles, because it is eminently de-
sirable that our people should grow
20 accept these princi~les as part o.
their fund of steady conviction viii Il
determines popular action, and should
cool-headedly begin to worl; out, by
study and above all by cautions cX-
pertinent, the methods Of reducing tha
principles to action
I'VE must shun equally the mere
selfish egotist and the mere We
reaning fool" declared Colonel Roo-c-
welt. 1--WE should in every way foste,
ard aid business; and we must re.
member that in the internationalizsd
world Of today the big business unit
is indispensable. Then, together. with
this fostering and encouragement,
should go such supervision and control
as to secure the largest possible meas
ure Of equity in the distribution oc
me rewards and profits; and, as Jar
as proves feasible, the growing meas
IRE Of property interest in, and direc-
,!onal control over, the business, by
all who work permanently therein"

Soe
L security in the world, and will
pay you 312 per cent interest.
The estimated wealth of the United
States is about ESQ billion dollars. Our
national debt was a little more than
one billion dollars before the break
with Germany. Adding to this the two
billion dollars, now offered as the Lib
erty Loan, gives total national debt
of a little over | per cent of the total
wealth of the country.
The yearly incomes in the United
States are estimated at about 40 billion
dollars or over 3 times the total ma
tional debt (including the present is
sue) and over 400 times the annual
interest charges on our total debt (in-
cluding the present 2 billion dollar
ofering).
The total resources of United States
banks are about 28 billion dollars; the
gold supply in the United States is
about 3 billion dollars; the foreign
trade for last year about 8 billion dol
lars; and the value of agricultural pro-
ducts last year about billion dollars.

YOUR DOLLARS AND MY BOY
want to thank YOU. friend.

want to thank you, friend.
You must know the heartfelt
gratitude of a father with an only
boy.
He went with the troops, and l
was proud.
But I've had many heart ache
since.
They say he'll pull through all
right now-because they found him
just in time.
Did your dollar bring my boy
back from No Mans Land?
Did your dollar take the stretcher
| so close to the thick of the firing
! line?
Did your dollar give him the water
he pleaded for in his delirium?
Did your dollar bring him back
to the base hospital where they gave
| him almost a mothers care?
| want to thank you If 1t did
| for your dollar has given me back
my boy-it has brought him back to
me out of No Mans Land-where
many sons are going, where many
will remin.
Can | say this to you, my friend?
Surely / can if you are member
of the Red Cross-or if you send in
your personal subscription to the Red
Cross now-for many a fathers son
will come out of No Mans Land by
the aid of the dollars that go to swell
the subscription lists of that great
enterprise of humanity.
| Join today-make this your Red
Cross Day. No field service is re-
quired. Count this the chance for
you to do your bit-for this country
must have two million members OF
the Red Cross-S100, 100000 in sub.
scriptions.
President Wilson himself is Presi-
dent of the Red Cross and asks that
one million men and women enroll
their names as subscribers to the
Red Cross-at 81. sass, $40, S10(
$4,000 or 100000.
He does not ask that you do any
thing else but pay your subscription
and then if you wish to secure 10
25, or 100 new subscribers, do so il
you wish. No further service in the
field or elsewhere will be required
In this hour of the nations and al
the worlds need, every American
who loves his country and his fellow
men asks, What can | do? Wher,
can | help?"
For stalwart youth the path @
duty is plain. Our country and hu
mainly need MEN to fight for then
and die for them. But of our 100
100000 only a small fraction nov
and but a 1.-THE at most, or worst
can thus serve. For all who can
not enlist to seek 1.-The great priz
of death in battle" or who are no
needed in tnose ranks, as yet, Their
is another enlistment. 1t is unde
the banner of the Red Cross. Enlist
. ing there all, old or young, man, VIC
man or tender child, can proud
| say:
| Il TOO am serving my countcv All
| humanity"
Il too am deserving well of tn
