COL. ROOSEVELT MAKES SPEECH
IN WHICH HE DENOUNCES ALL
THOSE MEN OF PACIFIST
VIEWS.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 29.-The loud
est so-called conscientious directors"
in this country today, are the paid
or unpaid agents of the German gov
eminent, Theodore Roosevelt declared
here tonight in speech before the
Labor Loyalty League. He asserted
that the majority of these men are not
actuated by conscience at all, and that
the bulk are slackers, pure and sim
ple, or else traitorous pro-Germans.
Describing the various kinds of pacl-
fists in this country, Mr.. Roosevelt
said that some of the leading apostles
of applied pacifsm are not timid men,
but. on the contrary, they are brutal,
violent men, who are perfectly wiling
t. fight, but only for themselves and
not for the nation. These roughneck
uacifsts." he said, 50 have always been
the potent allies of the parlor or milk
and-water paeiists The parlor pacl-
fist. the white-handed or sissy type
of pacifst. represents deeadence, rep
resents the rotting out of the viriie
virtues among people who typify the
unlovely senile side of civilization.
The roughneck pacifist, on the con-
trary, is a mere betinted savage, who
has not been educated to the virtues
O: national patriotism and of Wiling
ness to fight for the national flag and
the national ideal"
Mr.. Roosevelt continued: "If man
does not wish to take life, but does
wish to serve his country, let him
serve on board a mine-sweeper or in
some other position where the danger
il to his own life and not to the life
of anyone else. But if he will take
no useful or efficient part in helping
in this war, in running his share OF
the common risk and doing his part
of the common duty, then treat him
as having forfeited his right to vote,
his right to render at the polls any
decision which in the long run can
only be made good in the face of bru-
tai and hostile men by the ability and
willingness of good citizens to back
right with might
Such a man, Mr.. Roosevelt insisted,
who claims citizenship but is not will
ing to perform the necessary duties.
of citizenship, saying: Service to
the nation in war stands precisely on
footing with any other service. If a
man will not perform it, let him lose
all the benefits of war; and at least
let him lose the political rights which
a free country can keep only its free
citizens are willing to fight for them.
We stand against all privilege not
based on the full performance of duty;

BARTHOLDT WANTS THE WORLD
10 OIGARNf


Former Representative Richard
Batholdt, Of St. Louis, who was the
leading advocate in America OF in
ternational peace by arbitration up
to the time the European war began,
declares that peace among the bel
! ligerent countries can only be OBJ
tanned through an agreement to dis
arm. After disarmament, he says,
il win be easy to agree on concrete
terms. The problem presented by
Belgium and the Balkans, he thinks,
viii practically solve themselves.
Mr.. Bartholdt is aiming to arrange
q great peace meeting in some big
city in America for the purpose OF
sending delegates TO general meet
ing in a neutral country in Europe.
Regarding the situation with re-
spect Of an early peace arrangement
Mr.. Bartholdt says;
No thinking American can be
surprised at the news from Berlin
that peace is Impossible on the terms
OF thc entente, as indicated in the
reply to the Presidents peace note.
These terms, we must remember,
comprise the original aims for which
the allies entered the war and against
which the central powers waged
| their war OF defense. Nor is there
any reason for surprise 1t the con-
| tents Of tho entente reply, for Eng
land and each Of the countries allied
with her has its special designs, and
TO have left out q single one Of these
would have caused tho entente TO
tumble aSuader
I why not begin with an agree
ment on terms 20 which neither side
win raisc objections, instead OF con-
! sidering questions upon which an
agreement now seems impossible2
Sir Edward (nOw yiscount) Grey de-
clared he wos striving for a durable
peace with fixed guarantees for the
future. Won cthmann-Hollweg has.
said practically the same ching.
mo doubt il was this identity of
aims for the future, as confessed by
the leading statesmen OF both sides,
| which President Wilson had in nina
when he spoke in his note of their
| practical agreement as TO the object
Of the war.
"'rhia war would be even more
terrible scourge than il is if. as q
result of it, the governments OF
| Europe we're not willing to turn q
new leaf and failed to come to the
conclusion that arnlaments are pro-
vocativc Of war rather than guar
untee OF peace. Hence there should
be partial disarmament, uniformly
conceded by all belhgerents. The
neutrals, | am sure, win gladly fol-
| low suit
"'rhe cause Of all militarism and
nayalism is mutual fear OF neighbor-
! ly aggression. If that element of
fear should be eliminated and a feel
ing OF absolute security substituted
by binding International agreements,
( then it would be easy, believe, to
ragree on the concrete terms OF peace,
! for il would make little difference
as to which power controlled this or
| that strip OF territory. The prob
| lems presented by Belgium and the
balkans would practically solve
| themselves"

A double force in the composing

Routine Work Interrupted by
Biggest Lottery

Business was al a standstill in Okla
homa City today. Every man and nearly
every women was more interested in
the draft than in the regular routine
business. The brunt of the excitement
was felt in the offices OF newspapers
and at the city hall and courthouse
Telephones in these offices were ring
ing incessantly Persons in all parts
of the city and county desired to know
whether their number had been called
Crowds Large.
At the city hall and courthouse it
was some time before man desiring
to find his serial number on the lists
posted there, could work his way
through the crowd 10 a point where
he could see the lists. There was an
even larger crowd around the lists to-
day than on any previous day since the
lists have been posted for public OBJ

Some men whose numbers were
darwin early in the morning began to
dream of marching through the streets
