pers Printed in German.
New York, Aug. 11-Denouncing some
senators, congressman. and newspaper
editors as standing where the copper
heads stood in the civil war" Colonel
Roosevelt demanded suppression OF the
German language press, deportation OF
"fifty-fifty Americans" and called upon
every man, woman ana child in the
country to exert every ounce OF energy
to win the war.
When asked concerning statements
attributed to him by DR.. Kuno Meyer,
Berlin professor, in Amsterdam dis
patches, Roosevelt said Meyer was
guilty of "gross improperly" in quot
ing him concerning compensation and
indemnities victorious Germany
might collect.
mr.. Meyers statement is substan-
TALLY correct with this exception" Col
onel Roosevelt said. Z did not say the
Austro- German victory would entitle
them to compensation or indemnities,
or to form mid European federation
under Germany's agency. What said
was that II Germany was victorious she
would undoubtedly exact the utmost
limits Of compensation and indemnity
she could wiring from her adversar1ea
including the United States, and add
ed that Germany would take them
from the United States whether We
went to war or not. Mr.. Meyer and NJ.
wife called on me In May, 1916"
Colonel Roosevelt said his conversa-
ton with Meyer occurred after he had
spoken at Chicago and Detroit on the
need for American preparedness IN
view Of Germany's hostile attitude.
what said to him was what said
in these speeches 80 far az Germany
and the duty Of this government il con-
cerned," he asserted.
Discussing the present war outlook
the colonel said:
Il now hope that the United States
will make up its mind to fight this
war to a triumphant conclusion until
Germany Is completely overthrown.
without regard for what any other ma
ton does. Even II all abandoned the
struggle the United States should con.
tinue. We are fighting for our nearest
and dearest interests, to make the world
saie for America Until America shows
her ability to do that she should not
talk about making the world safe FOL
democracy. Now let every man, woman
| and child in this country strain every
nerve so that at the earliest possible
moment our giant strength may be used
to win the victory.
Let US remember that pachists and
pro-iermans stand where the copper
heads stood In the civil war. This ap-
plies to some senators and congress
men and newspaper editors.
IT hope congress will Immediately
pass a law refusing to allow any pa

Language Of any other Of our opponent.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Corn-A further
sharp decline In cash corn was re-
sponsfble for weekend liquidation and
renewed bearsh pressure from scat
tered sources. The long distance fore
cast predicts cool weather and showers
for the early part Of the week. but
fair and considerably warmer during
the latter half. This has rather a bear
ish look, and with local sentiment ex-
tremely bearish, we shall no doubt see
lower prices for futures, should cash
corn continue to decline.
Oat-Oats ruled lower with corn
and on pressure from local bears.
There appeared to be a good class Of
buying on resting orders. The weekly
weather forecast Is rather unfavorable
to the short side, but with anything
like normal receipts and weak corn
market, there will likely be more lib
eral offerings of cash oats soon and
a further decline In values is expected.

$4,000, o00, 900 For First Year.

(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 28-Th:e situation
in Congress fel! into another tangle
again today and the prospects that
there will be no extra session were
not so promising. The House for
eign Affairs Committee reported a
bill to empower the President to pro-
tect American rights against the Ger
man submarine menace but declined
to make provisions for the President
to use "other instrumentalities" which
ne desires, and prohibited the grant
ing of government war insurance to
munition ships.
The bill reported today by the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee is
Agreeable 70 the President. Pros
peets Of a Republican filibuster loomed
up again in the Senate today.
The House bill would provide a
$100,OOO,0O0 bond issue and would
authorize the President to transfer
some Of the funds to the War Risk
Insurance Bureau.

STOP SPEEDING
ON WASHINGTON.
Police VIII Exert Every EGort to
Prevent Further Violations Of
the Law on That Street.

r. The Police Department issued ]
warning this morning to all car own
ers and drivers that speeding on
Washington Street must stop.
Since the completion Of the paving
job on that street it has proven 4
regular speedway, according to citi-
Fzens living in that part Of the city,
and much complaint has come to head
quarters regarding it. Efforts to stop
the violation Of the speeding laws in
the past have proven only partially
successful owing to certain technical
tiles when the case is brought into
court.
A driver is arrested for speeding.
The officer testifes that he knows he
was exceeding the speed limit and
that is his only proof. The driver
testifies that he was looking at the
speed indicator on his car and that he
was not exceeding the limit, and he
is released. There is nothing else for
the Court to do but release the driver
because it is impossible for man to
state exactly how fast car is NOV
ing by watching it unless he has
someway to ascertain how long it
takes the car to cover certain dis
lance.
Stop watches have been secured and
each policeman will wear one. The
ength of every block in the city is
IN record and all the officer will have
% do if he thinks car is going too
,ast is to find long it takes the car
% run block and to get the number
# the machine. If tn enumber Of Sec
,nds taken to run the block are less
han required to make that distance
he evidence is sufficient to convict,
md the screws will be put to the own
n of the car. .,2y&
The police are,willing to give every Vi
me fair warning and if it is not

markets soon after the opening. First
trades were 16 to 20 down, but there
were few sellers and prices soon went
up to last nights closing figures fol-
lowed later by a little easiness. New
York gossip admits on yesterdays
advance there, that it was stimulated
principally by reports of continued
demand for spots out Of the local
stock and rumors Of further ship
ments, pending. the realization of
firmness of spot holders in the South
and the difficulties Of getting cotton
to New. York. The possibility Of a
natural squeeze or corner is feared.
There was nothing decidedly new in
political news thia morning. Wash
ington says things look more like an
extra session. Preparations are made
for final break with Austria. A bill
agreed on in Senate committee to
supply merchant vessels with arms
fore and aft ammunition and gunners'
and to provide funds for insurance
by the government. Some demand
that the privilege or armament should
not be extended to ships carrying con-
traband and ammunition. The mar
kets, in the long process of liquidation
and bearisA action on politics since
early in December, have become not
only liquidated to finish, but over
sold. Spot holders have not given in
as was expected, and as the supply
nedged cotton is becoming exhausted
and mills are forced to buy after stay
ing out of the market for months,
general turn to an advance on bullish
cotton facts and technical conditions
seem the most plausible prospects.
