COL. ROOSEVELT INSISTS

IDENTITIES, Not That She Was
Entitled to Them.

NEW YORK. August 11.-Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt declared in a formal
statement that he had been misquoted
by DR.. Kuno Meyer. Berlin professor. IN
dispatches from Amsterdam He said
Prof Meyer was guilty of gross i'm
propriety' in quoting him concerning
compensation and indemnities Germany
might collect.
Mr. Meyers statement is substantial
Iy correct. with this exception said
Mr.. Roosevelt. Il did not say the
Austro- German victory would entitle
them to compensation OF indemnities.
or to form a mid European federation
under Germanys agency.
What said was that II Germany
was victorious, she would undoubtedly
exact the utmost limits of compensa-
ton and indemnity she could wiring
from all her adversaries. including the
United States. and / added she would
take them from the United States.

GERMAN REFORMS
ARE MORE REMOTE
Catholic Centrists Believed to
Have Receded on ParIia-
mentarization Schemes.
SPAIN NOT TO SEEK SEAT

By the Associated Press
BERLIN. August 10, via London.
August Ills the Catholic centrist
party receding from it's attitude taken
in respect TO parliamentary reforms in
the course of the recentscabinet crisis?
This query has been suggested by the
decision of Dr. Peter SPAIN. leader Of
the party in the reichstag. not to seek
reelection to the reichstag to which
he has been forced since accepting the
post of Prussian minister of justice.
With that appointment his mandate in
the reichstag automatically expired by
constitutional provision. but he is
privileged TO go before the voters and
seek reelection.
In a section OF the press and in his
own party II was taken for granted he
would continue as party leader in the
reicbstag. as his reelection was posi-
lively assured. Germania, organ of the
centrist party, is now authorized to
announce that DIR. SPAIN VIII not be a
candidate. This has removed one Of
the parIiameutarians from the Prussian
ministry and bundesrat. Sls DR.. SPAIN
in the capacity OF minister of justice
also qualified for membership in the
federal council.

Hoping for Change in Rule.

Our allies in Europe. however. have
requested the American State Depart
ment not to permit persons born IN
enemy countries. or of parents born in
an enemy country, to travel as civilians
in any of the allied countries Repre-
senatations. however. have been made
by the Red Cross. which 1t is hoped
will ultimately prove effective. where
by loyal AmeScan citizens in Red Cross
service may be exempted from the oper-
alton of this rule, no matter what the
country of their origin
THE Red Cross wants it clearly un-
derstood that it welcomes the co-opera-
ton of every loyal American, and that
it does not regard that loyalty as meas
ured by the country of his origin

Schiller, one Of the national liberal
leaders, who has been appointed UNDER
secretary of the imperial finance min
istry, also will not seek reelection to
the reichstag. Germania says: TO
return to the question of the par
characterization Of the government, we
all know today how far responsible adj
visers of the crown have proceeded ana
may recognize in the present accom-
plishment the limits to which they pro-
rose to 60. We need not reiterate that
these limits coincide with what the
centrist party deemed desirable and
aimed TO achieve.
Cites Grecian Fable.
The Tageblatt concludes from Ger
mania's comment that the centrist
party is wholly in accord with the
Observation-Disclosures undertaken by
Chancellor Michaelis in the recon-
struction of the government. The
socialist organ Vorwaerts observes
that DIR. SPAIN and DR.. Schiller. whose
reichstag mandates now have expired.
Avere representatives of the people. but
now have become officials. and says:
Greek mythology relates that occa-
sionally mortals were also received in
Olympus and as half gods permitted
to eat ambrosia with immortals-
The gentlemen of the bureaucratic
olympus seem to have this custom In
mind Occasionally they honor the less
er race of parliamentarians by elevat-
ing one of its members to their rank.
but the chosen one then ceases to be
a parliamenatrian, as though he sud
denly became too exclusive for such a
