TURN
TO TRUCKS TO GET
NEEDED SUPPLIES

Automobile truck routes and steam
ship lines may be utilized to get mer-
chandise, both to and from Washing
ton within the near future. unless
rail transportation facilities solve the
present freight congestion through
out the country.
This opinion was expressed today
by two prominent Washington bust
ness men, who say that traffic con-
ditions that are tying up shipments
to and from Washington are block
ing shipments in all parts OF the
country through embargoes or delay.
c. A Sprawl, advertising manager
for Hecht & Company, said that the
firm was making use OF automobile
trucks to haul merchandise from New
York and Baltimore to Washington.
Since the war and since the Govern
ment placed the embargo on freight.

ROOSEVELT CALLS
la TOILETTE ONE OF

RACINE, Wis. Sept. 2s.-Branding
Senator Robert N. La Toilette as one
of the Huns within our gates"
Colonel Roosevelt began a series of
addresses in the Senator'S home State
yesterday by appearing before the
League OF Wisconsin Municipalities.
He was introduced by Governor
Phillips.
81 have the word OF your governor,
true American, that the attitude OF
Senator La Toilette does not repre-
sent the real sentiment of Wisconsin
toward war;" said the Colonel, In his
Rrraignment OF the Senator.
Those who demand peace without
victory for the right" he declared,
ARE endeavoring to weaken and en-
barrass the United States In this war.
This is treason"
The league adopted resolutions de-
handing that Senator La Toilette be
expelled from the United States SEN
ate.
Later in the day Colonel Roosevelt
addressed 1900 seamen recruits at
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton, and declared:
81 like to think that those in the
United States who are not women are
men. Only a little while ago 1t seem
ed we would have to divide the male
sex into men and human rabbits"

MARVELAT
STANCH PHYSIQUE
OF j. S. SOLDIERS

LONDON. Sept. 2s.-The American
soldier is a new type to the English
and they are still marveling over the
race" that their former colony is pro-
ducing.
The appearance of one of Pershing's
men is always the signal for craning
OF necks and interested comment.
Here are some OF the things the Lon
don newspapers are saying about that
strange breed, the American soldier.
Men OF the typical American
physique: stanch, hefty, clear cut,
built for pace and power alike"
Nearly all of them had the brown,
keen-eyed faces OF open-air men. They
walk with easy. careless vIgor. In
the West the human unit Is a man
and horse and they are never quite
reconciled to walking"
These Westerners are numerous
they look far ahead, across unseen
horizons. They don't march-rather
they saunteT.
Many of them come straight from
the West and wear pistols swinging
handily at their hips" says a reporter
who has evidently gained his impress
sion of Westerners from American
Wild West shows.

LABOR SUPPLY BELOW
DEMAND ON AGENCIES
Even Police Court Shows Few in
Need Of Work.

There should be no applicants for
charity among men who are strong
enough to work, and there seems to be
no reason why able-bodied men should
be out of a job, judging from the
great demand for laborers with which
the local employment agencies are in
undated and are unable to entirely sat
isfy.
Comparative absence Of minor Of
lenses committed by men who used to
plead that they could get no work
and were compelled to steal in order
to live" Is noticeable at the daily SEES
sions of the Police Court.
Industrial concerns and employment
agencies are advertising for railroad
laborers, car repairmen, freight han
dlers, boiler makers. machinists, car
penters. and laborers of every descrip-
ton, Railroad telegraphers and men
familiar with railroad block signal
systems are wanted and the various
branches OF the Government. especial

chusetts avenue, who at present is
engaged on the Jefferson statue for
the Government, and who is prepar-
ing to pack up his studio effects and
remove them to Boston. the American
Athens.
Mr.. Brooks, whose sculptures are
acknowledged everywhere as among
the best products OF American art,
said today that 1t is to be regretted
that Washington offers little. II any.
inducement to artists to select it as
a permanent residence.
81 can't account for it,S said Mr..
Brooks. "but art does not thrive in
Washington. 1t may be due to too
much politics or to the indifference of
the people to things artistic. 1t is a
fact that 1 have not received one
single commission worth mentioning
since my return to Washington from
France about a year ago.
Washington ought to be the art
center of the United States. and Con-
gress should make every effort to
assist in this aim. When II is con-
sidered that a city which can boast
the most attractive buildings from an
artistic standpoint, and streets and
monuments and galleries. attracts de-
sirable residents, 1t would be a splen-
did investment to educate and build
up the art sense Of the people in
Washington and the members OF Con-
gress."

The Times Tobacco Fund is going

One woman who has been regu-

Times today that the only regrettable
feature in connection with contribut-
ing to such a worthy fund is that her
weekly donations can't be hundred
times greater. She has inclosed so
cents per week since the campaign
for smokes started-enough to keep
two soldiers happy at least part Of
the time, through thinking that their
interest is also the interest of those
left behind.

soldiers, is Harry S. Fischer, jewel

ROOSEVELT FORCED
KAISER TO FARLEY
over VENEZUELA

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-colonel Roose-
welt, at luncheon here related for
the first time his story OF how near
the United States came to- getting
into war with Germany in 1902, and
how his mailed fist threat caused
Germany to arbitrate the question re-
lating to occupancy OF Venezuela
He charged that Germany was
striving to extend her dominion and
that Venezuela offered an opportun-
ity. When a fleet OF German war
ships appeared rear that country,
Colonel Roosevelt, then President,
sent for the German ambassador and
demanded what Germany meant by
temporary possession"
The interview, he quoted as follows:
"'Tell your government that in ten
days 1t must arbitrate the matter or
will send Dewey down there
"I cannot send such a message,
Mr.. President: I do not think you
realize what 1t means the ambassa-
Cor replied.
"'You think it means war; I asked.
81 do not want to say what /
think was the reply.
III 1t means war, you have chosen
the one spot where you can not fight
US replied, and then 1 showed by
maps our commanding position"
When the ambassador retired, Col
onel Roosevelt says he sent word to
Admiral Dewey to be ready to sail
on an hours notice. A week later
the ambassador returned, he says,
saying that he had not dared send
the message.
The Colonel then issued an ulti-
matum saying he would give Ger
many forty-eight hours in which to
agree to arbitration.
Thirty-six hours later the ambas-
sador returned saying he had received
instructions from his government that
1t would arbitrate.

much opposition in various provinces
especially among the military leaders,
who resented the effort to create a

reformers, who are unfriendly to
many of the older Chinese who had
been suggested as possible members
OF the council.
