 With the Senator.
MUST MAKE GOOD
 WILSON'S WORDS
Declaring That America Must Take No Heed of Peace Uttcrances Pre- pared by Germany, We Should
 War on Austria and Turkey.

Kansas City, Sept 24.-"If I were a member of the United States senate today I would be ashamed to sit in that body until had found out some method to deprive Senator LaFollette of his seat in that chamber, which he now disgraces by his presence there" Col. Theodore Roosevelt declared in a talk today at luncheon given for Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood and himself as part of the Middle Western pat riotic celebration of this city.
 Continuing his remarks concerning congress, Colonel Roosevelt asserted that if congress had taken three years ago the action that it has taken since the declaration of war, the war would have been over.
 eff we take heed of any peace ut terances Germany prepares we will show that we are not prepared yet to go out into the world without guardian" declared the former presi- dent. America must make good the words of President Wilson, Make the world safe for democracy For this reason we should declare war against Austria and Turkey"
 Would Like to Plnnder U. s.
 The attitude of the German-Ameri- can press and the German alliance in this country "in their hearty sup port of the German government" and the attitude of the Germans at home toward their government shows that they are back of it, Colonel Roosevelt said, in a speech at the Old Glory tonight in commenting on the theory that the United States is fighting the German government but not the peo- pie.
 For no nation does Germany feel and express such bitter and contemp- tuous hostility as for the United States" he said. "There is no na- ton on the face of the globe which they would be more delighted to ruin and plunder. Under such circum- stances the public men and news papers engaged in defending Germany or assailing England and our other allies or in protesting against the war and demanding an inconclusive peace are guilty of moral treason to this country, and while the German-Am- erican papers have achieved an evil prominence in this matter the profess sional anti-English Irish papers are as bad and the purely sensational, demagOgic and unpatriotic section of the native American press is the worst of all.
 Germany had we'll matured plans for the conquest and oppression of the United States, he said. This was evil denced, he said. by the conversation of some recently captured German of ficers who talked to their English cap tors freely without knowing that an American officer was present.
 These Germans announced that Germany was going to win and that they were going to smash the United States and bleed it white with an en- ormous indemnity and make it pay the whole expense of the war;" he said. "They had no thought of peace end no man in his senses doubts that this would be the policy adopted as a matter of course bv Germany"
 Excluded From War.
 At the conclusion of his talk, Col cnel Roosevelt was presented with a gold quill, with the reminder that "The pen is mighter than the sword"
 "But would rather have a sword" the colonel said. 'This is a very exclusive war as far as I am concerned. I was blackballed by the committee on admission"
 Major-General Wood, in speech following Colonel Roosevelt, said:
 "It is utter foolishness to say that America can win the war in the air or with chemical devices. It can only be won with men and by sacrifice.
