Chicago, Sept, 26.-Declarng Sem
ator Robert NJ. La Folette of Wiscon-
sin, to be "the most sinister foe of
democracy in this country" Theodore
Roosevelt, in a speech on The Chill
dren of the Melting Pot" here to-
night, launched scorching philippe
at pacifists, in general, and unprepar-
edness.
After the address, which was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. the
meeting, held under the auspices of
the National Security league, adopted
a resolution offered by Bishop Samuel
Fallows and seconded by Judge Jacob
NJ. Dickinson, former secretary of
war, condemning the Wisconsin SEN
ator for his recent public utterances
and declaring him unworthy to rep
resent the loyal people of America"
The colonel was given an ovation
when he announced that he felt he
had a certain right to discuss the sub
ject, because he himself was child
of the crucible."
Germany Praises U. S. Pacifists.
Brutal militarists of one country,
asserted the colonel, in connection
with his denounciation of pacifists
and pro-German propagandists, hail
with JOY the growth of pacifism in
another country. And the pacifist that
is developed in this country hasn't
one quality that entities him to the
admiration of any honorable man"
David Starr Jordan was mentioned
as among those whose pacifist views
were condemned by the speaker who
referred to pacifists as ''old women of
both sexes"
I'VE are to stand against the Hun

after paying tribute to the national

Paul, actually, by implication, con-
doned the brutal German murders OF
our men and women on the high seas
and tries to distract attention from
the wrongs inflicted upon us by ere
ating discussion at home.
Classed as Copperhead.
we had his type in the civil war
Then they called them copperheads.
These men used all the words, and
the same argument as la Toilette,
sham phildnthropists make now.
The colonel brought this phase OF
his address, which was comparatively
short, to a conclusion by expressing
regret that it was impossible to send
the object of his criticism to the Ger
man lines
II wish we could make him gift
to the kaiser for use in his reichstag.
In the senate he is cause for shame
and humiliation to every worthy
American"
Referring to the divided allegiance
of certain foreign-born Americans
the colonel maintained I'VE have a
right to demand that every German
American stand shoulder to shoulder
with his fellow Americans against the
bloody tyranny of the Prussia nized
autocraCy of Germany
The address in part follows:
Must Read Lesson Alright.
"In this country the events or the
last three years will teach us much
il we have the wit to read the les
sons Alright. There must be in the
United States one flag and only one
flag: one allegiance and only one
language--that of the declaration OF
