livered by Theodore Roosevelt in an
address here last night before the

AS compared to the other great ma
leans had in this-war exhibited them
selves a miracle in inefficiency.
Asserting that the United States
government announces that the pre-

emergency is over, Colonel Roosevelt
characterized this as a criminal re-
fusal to provide for the future"
Must Use English Gums.
He summed up what America had
accomplished since the declaration of
war with Germany by saying that the
United States did not have a single
airplane fit to send across the German
lines and that months must pass before
one could be manufactured: that Amer
lea had no heavy artillery. and that
Pershing and his soldiers would have
to trust to French and English guns.

constituted only tiny fraction of the
English force. 1t would be a year af-
ter the declaration of war before
