nent preparedness.
professional pacifsts," and "con-
scientious objectors," were scathing-
ly arraigned by Col Roosevelt. He
urged that congress pass a law imme-
dIately providing universal suffrage
on the basis of universal service.
I'VE have a three-foId duty at
present" said the former president.
First, that of Americanization
There is no such thing as a $3.50 10y
atty Our business is to help this na-
ton and to see that it doesn't become
a polyglot boarding house l would
send all men VINO think primarily of
the old country back to it. And I
should like to send along with them
some of our native born Americans.
Since we want to do Germany as
much harm as possible, l should like
to give her Senator La Toilette to be
used in the reichstag.
Secondly, we must put this war
through with no end in view save a.
complete and overwhelming victoryI
The only way to gain Germany's re-
spect is through fear. An inconclu-
s1Ve peace would simply mean that
we should have to fight it all over
again.
| I'VE want to fight abroad with our
allies SO that we shall not have to
hight at home without any allies.
Th1rd, we must prepare perma-
nently. Germany has been at war
with US since the German note of Jan.
81 and that we are able to prepare
now is due solely to the fact that the
armies and navies of France and Eng
land have shielded our lazy strength.
Don't let us have to repeat the pres
ent experience
His statement that the only safe
permanent policy was to provide uni
versal obligatory military training for
every young man and to deny the
vote to each until he was able to pre-
sent certificate showing that he had
completed his military service was
greeted with applause by the 1000 of
fcers.
Speaking of preparedness in partic
ular, he added:
II want it because I don't want
war; because I don't want to sec
Uncle Sam wearing a pigtai1, to be
come the China of the world.
II was given the Nobel peace prize
but the best thing I did in my sever
and one-half years as president to in
sure peace for this country was t.
} send the battle fleet around the world
} It inspired every nation to be on thu
, best of terms with US.
''The only American who won
have something to explain to his chill
: dren when this war is over will bt
the men who are serving Uncle Sam
It will be easier to explain to then
why you are in it than why you ar:
not. l don't care whether a man il
an enlisted man or an officer, O.
whether he's in the army or the navy
: You all look alike to me.
81 hope those who don't go will b
able to explain that we did our best,
Col. Roosevelt said, smilingly, as h,
turned to James R. Garfield, his for
