I. X. SAYS DEBATING PREPARED.
NESS WOULD BE ON PAR WITH
DISCUSSION OF MONOGA.
NOUS MARRIAGES

New York, March - Theodore
Roosevelt has declined an invitation
of representatives of the Congress of
Forums to debate the subject of pre-
paredness in this city with William
Bryan, it was announced tonight.
Mr.. Bryan, it was explained, had ac-
cepted the invitation, but asserted in
letter that he thought 1t would be
wise to await until the present inter-
national crisis was past. He also said
he did not think the debate should be
confined to one city, but that he and
Colonel Roosevelt should travel over
the country, each paying his own ex-
penses and charging no admission to
the public.
Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the rep
resentatives Of the Congress of For
ums said in part:
OdhhoL doSCpI youi piopooai VI
the 21st because / regard 1t as a
waste of time to debate nondebatable
subjects. To debate with Mr.. Bryan
his views against national prepared
ness would, in my Judgment, be pre-
cisely on par with debating the I'M
desirability Of homogeneous marriages,
or the morality Of abolishing patriot
ism. or the advantage of the reintre-
duction of slavery, or the right of
Judges to accept brides from suitors,
or the duty of submission to the di-
vine right Of Kings. or the propriety
Of action such as that of Benedict
Arnold"
