Forest Hills, L. l., July 5.-Declar-
ing that those in America who cham
pion Germanys cause against the
cause of America are guilty of moral
treason, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in a
Fourth of July address here Wednes-
day, pleaded for single standard Of
patriotism and loyalty.
The colonel alluded to the race riots
in East st. Louis, saying the causes
should be ascertained and the remedy
found.

ton was born and was dedicated to
the cause of liberty and equal rights
for ALL" he said.
There has Just occurred in north
ern city a most lamentable tragedy.
We who live elsewhere will do well
not to feel self-righteous about it, for
1t was produced by causes which
might at any time produce just such
results in any Of the communities in
which we individually dwell. There
have been race riots with dreadful &C
compartments of wholesale murder
and arson.
THE first necessity is that the gov
eminent should use its strength to
stop and to punish the violatOrs, and
once more to install the ordinary In
strumentalities of law and order, but
this is not enough. The causes, So
cial and industrial, should be fearless
" and thoroughly investigated, so that
the primitive remedy may be found;
and the investigation should blink at
no fact, however ugly. I reverently
believe in facing truths by officially
acting on the knowledge thus gained.

NEWS OF ARMY's SA|L|NGs

Secretary Daniels Declares Investisa-

Come From Navy.

Washington, July 5.-America's spy
hunt tended to absolve members OF
the navy from guilt in giving infor.
nation on which Germany modified
her U-boats to waylay United States
army transports.
With news of battle between a
United States provision ship convoy
and two German submarines. officials

MANY had spread q flOtilla of Subma-
rines for that purpose.
What is regarded as further proof
chant shipping the past two weeks.
With only 20 ships sunk for the
week ending Wednesday and IS the
previous week, it was felt Germany
had called her U-boats from their
usual work and told them to get
Pcrshing's expedition.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels in
dicated that the department had been
thoroughly investigated and he had
found no leak from that source. Or
ders were sent out In a special secret
code and were sealed when delivered
to Admiral Gleaves of the destroyer
convoy. 1t would not have taken a
particularly efficient German spy TO
get the news of the transports sail
ing
Preparations and sailings both were
well known in the American port from
which the transports sailed. There
are also sufficient open cable and
wireless routes whereby the spy could
send an innocent-appearing message
by a prearranged code, to notify Ber-
lin of the departure. Then Berlin
could have wirelessed her U-boats to
get on the route and bag the trans
ports.
II is believed this is what happened.
The spy hunt is going on. Mean
time there is talk of coordinating the
various secret agencies under a single
head, in order to avoid duplication OF
effort, which, it is contended, has re-
suited under the present scattered
system.
