United Statos. 1t is our business TO
stand by our allies.
1.-THE British Empire imperatively
needs the greatest navy in the world.
and this we should instantly concede.
Our need for a great navy comes next
to hers, and We should have the second
navy in the world. Similarly France
needs greater military strength than
we do, but We should have all our
young men trained to arms on the
general lines of the Swiss system.
"The freedom of the seas Is a

Germany interprets 1t. 1t is thoroughly
mischicvous. There must be no inter-

THE British must OF course keep

Must Keep Independence.
LAS for this nation, 1t must keep its
absolute economic independence and
raise or lower its economic barriers as
its interests demand. for we have to
look after tho welfare of our. own
workingman. We must insist on the
preservation Of the Monroe Doctrine.
We must keep the right to, r'ose the

HOPES FOR SOME LIGHT

Col Theodore Roosevelt, from his
room at Roosevelt Hospital. sent a
strong criticism to the public yester-
day Of President Wilson's speech TO
Congress. He insisted that the chief
duty OF the country was to stand by
the Allies" and that the Allies have
not accepted Mr.. wilson's fourteen
points. He is equally sure that the
people of the United States have not
accepted them and that the soldiers OF
the American Army know nothing Of
them.
The Colonel's statement follows:
president Wilson has not given the
slightest explanation of what his
views are or why he is going abroad.
He pleads for unity, but he is himself
responsible for any division among the
American people as regards the peace
conference at this time.

of Violence.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Explosion Of q
bomb in the crowded entrance Il the
$13,0 900 900 Federal building killed four
persons and injured more than rs
others.
The explosion, the force of which
was SO great that 1t not only wrecked
the entrance of the building but shat
tered every window on the first three
floors of two buildings across the
street, was attributed to the /. w. w.
by Philip j. Berry, in charge of the
local offices of the Department of
Justice.
This outrage, in my opinion, was
inevitable as an act of reprisal on the
part of the L. w. w." Mr.. Barry de-
clared after a hurried investigation,
following the sentencing of nearly a
hundred of their members. We are GER
tain that the l. w. w. committed this
deed. l believe that the bomb was
composed of nitro-glycerine. Several
arrests have been made and we are
questioning the prisoners as'fast as we
can. All persons known to be of radi-
cal thought will be brought In for ex-
animation"
Raids on two headquarters of the
/. w. w. within Is minutes after the
explosion resulted in the arrest of nine
men Several more yer taken into
custody within the Federal building
and a woman, whose name was sup
pressed, was arrested in a nearby
building. More that 1900 government
agents and the entire city police
force are seeking the perpretrator OF

These d~estroyers, which form only

When it is considered hat the

what a tremendous task is being per
formed by the Allied navies.

SAVES TEN NEGRO SOLDIERS
President Affirms Death Sentences
on Six Others.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Death sem
fences of 10 negro soldiers who par
ticipated in the riot at Houston, Texas,
Aug. %. 1917, have been committed
to life imprisonment by President
Wilson.
In six other cases the President az
firmed the death sentences because the
condemned men had been found guilty
of having deliberately and with great
cruelty murdered civilians.
This action, announced by the War
department, concludes the cases of
20 negroes given the death penalty for
their part in the riot. Thirteen were
executed and the President was called
on to review the findings in 16 cases.
