j. S. DUTY TOT TALY|S
BREAK WITH HUN ALLIES
Theodore Roosevelt Says Declaration
of War on Austria and Tur-
key Would Be Wise.
BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT
In the kansas City Star.

A few days ago 1 expressed the regret
and uneasiness felt by all men with
knowledge of international matters at the
failure of this country to declare war on
Austria and Turkey. Various administra-
ton, and, of course. Ihe leading pro-
German newspapers. took exception to
this statement and announced that the
procedure advocated would be unwise or
improper Since tien the great defeat Of
the Italian army by the Germans and
Austrians has occurred and among the
Italians there has been much bitter criti-
cism of our failure to help them. al
though we have now for many months
been at war, at least in theory, with Ger
many.
A leading administration newspaper Of
high standing. the Brooklyn Eagle, ac-
curately states the case, as follows:
'Italy's defeat is shocking and alarm
ing. Only its unexpectedness excuses the
failure of Italy's allies. including our
selves. to meet it. This government cam
not evade responsibility If Italy is lost,
for we have been, up to the present. quite
to Italys fate. Italy suffers and is en-
QanSereQ Dy our own negative dtlItUue.
We have loaned her money. but We are
not at war with Austria and we have
failed to give Italy such whole-hearted
support as her critical position demands.
No time should be lost in reversing this
policy. Italy is fighting our battles as
we'll as her own. She is valuable ally;
her cause is just. No effort should be
spared to save her. There Is no time to
compromise or equivocate. Our own SOL
diers in Europe will have to pay in blood
for every hours delay in throwing all
possible help to Italy"
This is the exact truth. I call at
tention to the fact that 1t is from a
strong supporter of the administration
and that it takes the view I have for
months been taking and which various
well meaning but sheeplike creatures
have bleated against on the ground
that it implies criticism of the admin
istration. 1 was merely advocating be-
fore the event the course which. after
the event. all Will agree ought to have
been followed
1t is in this matter precisely as 1t
was in regard to our building ships to
meet the terrible C-boat menace. We
should. with the utmost energy and
speed, have begun to build them with
in week. within day, of the Ger
man note Of January 81. Instead of
this, we dawdled and wrangled for six
months before seriously beginning. In
the one case as in the other foolish
creatures did immense harm by pro-
testing against pointing out our blum
ders on the ground that we must not
speak Of split milk, whereas. of course,
We can only stop future spilling by
