missioner of education, who recently
returned from an educational mission
in France.
While France has restricted the use

this time, Merchants everywhere seek
American goods and orders are the
easiest of things to secure, but deliv-
cries are impossible, except for such
goods as the Government permits for
the requirements of the war. There is
a worlds shortage of tonnage and no
private enterprise or opportunity can
be permitted to occupy one yard OF
space that energetic prosecution of the
war requires.
Russia has few ports, and the full
transportation facilities from them are
more than necessary for handling abb
solutely essential freight. In refus-
ing to permit private enterprises to
hinder the wars requirements, Amer
leans must recognize that Russia is
taking proper step to assist her al
lies to win the essential victory. To
this end all else must temporarily be
subjected. This condition is likely to

Following is Colonel Roosevelt's

Following is Colonel Roosevelts s statement:
 Senator Lodge and Congressman Gardner have rendered great pub lie service and have made all good citizens of this country their debtors. The defenders of the administration are still actively discussing whether the presidents recent manifesto was a peace note or a war note, the presl- dents own secretary of state having interpreted it In two precisely oppos- ing directions within six hours. To be sure this represents rather longer interval than that usual between, the changes of mind of the admindstra- tion, but in the present instance there seems to have been more design than usual in the change of mind.
 For while neither the dream nor the two interpretations thereof have the slightest effect in securing peace in Europe they have an extraordinary effect upon the stock market in New York and, to judge from what I read in the papers, the net effect, and the only net effect, of this SUD- posed action for peace was to ruin an immense number of small invest ors who were not forwarned for the benefit of a very few persons, who, if they did not know of these events prior to their publication for the in formation of the public, then certainly showed that on this occasion they were inspired by prophetic insight concerning the handling of our foreign affairs.
 AS regards MT. Gardner's resolu- ton, 1t is we'll to remember that the facts are a matter of common noto- riety. The publication of the note, the publication of the first interpre- tatfon by the secretary of state and the publication of the second inter

 OLD STAND AGAIN
Attacks Wilson for Note to Europe
 and Stock Meak"

New York. Jan. 4.-Coionel Theo- dore Roosevelt, breaking the silence he had maintained since the day be- fore election, resumed the leadership last night of the forces opposing President Wilson and his administra- tion. He picked out the Wilson peace note of Dec. 30 and Secretary Lan- sings explanation of it. issued the following day. as text for his at tack, and demanded an investigation of the charges that persons who had received advance information had bsnaf1ttad by the consequent agita- ton of the stock market. He did not, however. mention any names in this connection.
 Colonel Roosevelt gave evidence of agitation as he dictated his arraign. mont of the president to a reporter at tho Hotel Langdon. Since the day of the presidents peace note he had been revolving in his mind the wis., dom of still another bitter fight against the administration. The al- legations made since that time, de- cided the Colonel to demand thor pugh investigation of the charge that Wall street prohted through the note.

dangerous, but profoundly mischfev- ous, because it took no account what ever of the most serious causes of offense that have been given to the United States and invited insincere and improper bidding for our SUD- port.
 Nor Is this all. The note takes po- sitions so profoundly immoral and misleading that high-minded and right-thinking American citizens whose country this note places in thoroughly false light are in honor bound to protest. For example the note says that thus far both sides seem to be fighting for the same thing. This is palpably false. Nor is this all. It is wickedly false.
 To say that the Germans who have trampelled Belgium under heel and are at this moment transporting 10,- 900 Belgians to serve as state slaves in Germany are fighting for the same things as their hunted victims, the Belgians who have fought only for their country and their hearthstones, and their wives and their children, is not only falsehood. but a callous and a most immoral fs1sehood, a thing shocking to every hieh-1ninded man who loves the peace of righteousness. Elsewhere the president says that at some unknown date in the hereafter the American people intend to safe guard the rights of small nauonalities against big and ruthless nations which assail them Unless this Is sheer hypocrisy let the president begin now and in such case let him promptly withdraw this note which has given comfort and aid only to the oppres- sors of Belgium and in which he has

pretat1on contradicting the first, could no fail to produce upon the stock market the exact effect which they actually did. The statements pub- lished in the press of what occurred in the stock market make 1t morally certain that somehow or other some body had advance information. It is utterly useless for any committee to deny facts thus apparent on their face but the committee can tender great service if they follow MT. Gardner lead and take steps which will pre- vent the future hitching up of con- tradictatory manifestoes about our foreign policy with manipulations of the stock market.
 David Jayne Hill on Note.
 When the presidents policy in
 vital matters is both so suddenly an- nounced and so wrapped in a fog of obscurity that his own secretary of state interprets it in two different ways within six hours, the only peo- pie who can possibly benefit are the biggest and most constituencies stock gamblers, and this fact might as we'll be understood. As regards Senator Louse speech' dli peisoLs llleieSIeu , in the present nnishandling of our foreign affairs would do we'll to read the comment of the Hon. David Jayne Hill on the presidents circular note and when it is spoken of as circular the adjective can be accepted with both it's explicit and implicit signif- canoe. As MT. Hill points out, If the note was designed merely to promote an early concluson of peace it was untimely irritating, and dangerous. If, on the other hand, as MT. Lansing first interpreted it. it was a threat of war, and foreshadowed the end of American neutrality, it was not only

He Is also determined to aid senator Lodge of Massachusetts in his fight against the senate indorse- ment of the Wilson peace note and the League for the Enforcement of Peace.
 Colonel Roosevelt in his statement puts upon the presidents note an interpretation similar to that place on 1t by several foreign governments, an interpretation which has since been proclaimed by friends of the admin istration as false reading of the presidents lines. Thus MT. Roose- welt says:
 For example, the note says that thus far both sides seem to be fight ing for the same thing and from this premise he develops an attack that questions the presidents Judg- ment, his wisdom, and his courage
 What the note, signed by Secretary Of State Lansing, quoting the presi- dent. said was this:
 ''He takes the liberty of calling at tention to the fact that the objects, which the statesmen of the belliger- ents on both sides have in mind in this war. are virtually the same as stated in general terms to their own people and to the world Each side desires to make the rights and priv ileges of weak people and small states as secure against aggression or de- nial in the future as the rights and privileges of the great and powerful states now at war.

Most Preposterous Absurdity.

f of the rights of Belgium.
 Most Preposte1ous Absurtlity.
 ous absurdity is the statement that the United States Is ready and eager to guarantee the peace of the world. The spectacle of the president trying, by the aid of Messrs. Daniels and Baker, to guarantee the peace of any nation under the sun against a single powerful and resolute foe is as comic as anything that was ever written by Artemus Ward. If his words meant anything they would mean that here after we intended to embark on policy of violent meddling in every European quarrel, and in return to invite Old World nations violently to meddle in everything American. Of course. as a matter of fact. the words mean nothing whatever. MT. Wilson pompously announces that we are to use every resource at our command to secure the future peace of the world at the very time that. after three years of effort, he is helplessly unable to secure peace in that small part Of the world imme mediately adjoining us which is called Mexico. The presi- dent is nervously backing away from MT. Carranza, and he is busily en- gagged in finding new excuses for not securing peace in Mexico at the very time that he Is Illuminating these vague threats and uttering these vague promises in reference to the formidable military powers who are engaged in their great death wrestle across the seas.
