Traitors to y. S.

ist situation in precise terms, Or.
Hills said: "The three tests Of the
traitor to this country are:
First, he tries to find something
he can criticise In Great Britain, 80
as TO Justify German atrocities.
Second, he will never utter a word
Of criticism of those atrocities, but
hates anybody who can prove the Ger
man cruelty.
Third. he never tires OF insisting
that Germany is fighting for the free
dom OF the seas-when, in his wicked
heart, he knows that in q half a
century there has not been one single
British port in the world that has not
been as open and as free to German
ship as TO a British"
DR.. Hills remarked further that
there are certain GermanAmericans
who think they can nullify the infu-
ence OF every German atrocity by "as-
sembling people and talking on the
crimes OF England"
These people-pacifsts and aliens

Gold Added to "Blood and
Iron" to Weaken Other Ma
tions, Colonel Writes
ESPECIAL Correspordencel

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Sept. 23.-Under
the caption Blood, Iron and Gold,
Theodore Roosevelt, in a signed edi-
torial in the Kansas City Star" to-day,
says:
"Bismarck announced that his policy
for Germany was one of blood and iron.
The men who now guide, and for some
decades have guided, German interna-
tional policy, have added gold as the
third weapon in Germany's armory.
ITO policy based on callous disre-
gard OF death and suffering, and the
brutal use of force, they have added the
habitual and extensive employment of
corruption as a means for weakening
their foes and bending other nations
10 their service"
After referring TO the Bernstorf eK-
posurc, Colonel Roosevelt continues:
every man in this country who is
now playing the pro-German game
should be made to feel that he must
overcome presumption OF guilty
motive. There are misguided pro-Ger-
mans who are uninfuenced by corrupt
motives, just as thre were in the Civil
War Copperheads who were merely
misguided and not conscious wrong
doors. But these men are in mighty
unpleasant company.
THE paciiist, the man who wishes a
peace without victory, the supporter OF
Senator La Toilette or Senator Stone,
the man who in any way now aids Ger
many, may be honest. but he stands
cheek by jowl with hired traitors, and
he is serving the cause Of the malignant
and inscriptions enemies Of his
country"

Vatican Organs Suspect
Riga Victory Influenced
German Reply to Pope

ROME. Sept. 2S.-Two Catholic
organs. the "Osservatore Romano" and
the "Corricre DTtalia.' publish an
Identical note in which it is said the
reference in the German reply TO the
"desire Of the Pope" is assumed to sp-
ply TO the third and fourth points in
the Pontihcal communication, specify
ing freedom Of the seas and reciprocal
conformation.
The note does not go into detail but
II is supposed the Catholic organs have
IN mind the Pope's proposal for reci-
procal remission of damages and war
OUTLAWS and q reciprocal restitution of
the occupied territories.
The "Corriere DTtalia" says:
ut may be said that the Central En-
pires. particularly Germany. had re-
course to q conceivable diplomatic pre-
caution which is common 20 contract
ing parties before the conclusion Of
agreements. Nevertheless, such pre-
caution does not prevent the thought
that the reticence of the German and
Austrian replies is irreconcilable with
the cause of peace. since the Entente
nations long ago made known their war
aims.
The replies, though reticent, con-
tain two generic adhesions to the
Pope's note regarding the only means
Of preventing new wars-that is, dis
armament and arbitration. That no
concrete proposals are made by the
Central Powers in view of the initia-
tiCn Of serious discussion Of peace
may be the consequence of the unfor-
tunate event in the German conquest
of Riga. which gave new encouragement
to impcr.alistic tendencies or at least
to the design to obtain in the East what
they cannot have in the West
The "Popolo dltalia" points out that
both the Central Empires insist on the
liberty of the seas in their replies.
THAT insistence merits attention.

port that preceded the replies had al
ready furnished some ideas regarding
