dore Roosevelt, in an address here
last night, declared that to make
the world safe for democracy" de-
mands an Immediate declaration of
war by this country against Austria
and Turkey He urged that the Unit
ed States take some action toward
establishing permanent policy of
preparedness and compared pacifists
and pro-Germans to disintegrating
forces in Russia.
1--WE announced that our purpose
was to make the world safe for dem
ocracy." said Colonel Roosevelt. This
pledged us to immense sacrifices in
hard and dangerous crusade, i'm
minently righteous, but for an object
In which our own concern was
slight. Our grievance was against
Germany, but pledge to make the
world safe for democracy is solemn
engagement to smash the two nations
which most conspicuously make dem
ocracy unsafe within their own
borders, Austria and Turkey"

 An officer of the Jacob Jones found that the ship was listing heavily to port as she was being lowed from her anchorage in the river to a dock, and all persons aboard were detained and questioned The chief machinist's mate, whose identity was not disclos- ed, was arrested and placed in irons on one of the battleships.

 The Senate passed a comparatively dull day. Despite the fact it was house day few bills were acted upon. De- bate on relatively unimportant matters took up part of the time, and the rest was spent in routine business, except for the brief joint session with the house, when the vacation appointment by Governor Hays of H. l..

 The Senate defeated, 29 to 3, the Ruff bill for the creation of a Board of Control to have charge of all the state educational institutions.

After Senator Ruff had been speaking for 20 minutes on the merits of the meas ure, Senator Collins asked him to yield for question.
