No unexploded shell from gun

found. However,, there have been ex-

Four Guns Used.
Apparently four guns are being

must require at least three months
Doubtless they are concealed under

Win II. Hays Makes Great
Speech at the Saratoga
Convention.
win WAR NOW HE URGES
Wants Preparation Now
for the Problems Of
Peace.
(By Associated Press)

eARATOGA. N. Y. July 10.-Tke
Republican party today supports a
every possible means TO win the war
now" demands a peace with victory
and never peace by compromise, and
stands for sane preparation now for
the solution OF after-the.war problems,
WIN H. Hays, chairman OF the Repub-
lican National convention, said today
IN addressing the delegates 10 New
York states unofficial Republican
State convention, meeting here.
Just returned from a coast to coast
tour Of the country, the optimistic of
Republican success this fall. Mr.. Hays
gave . win.the-war talk, and in wit
ness Of what his party was doing in
Washington he said that for all mem
berS Of both Houses of Congress pres
ent and voting on all war measures,
the Republicans have furnished rs per
cent and the Democrats "A per cent
Of the total war support"
Mr.. Hays address was in part as
follows:

Orument In other hands, becomes the

sheviki syncopation; that while there
is absolutely nothing in this country
which we will not take and use for
necessary war purposes. such taking
shall be for war purposes only: ana
that when the war is over, we will re-
store private properties taken for war
purposes 10 their owners; and that
a successful political party's objective
is q record performance OF a sacred
contractual obligation.
Mr.. Hays said that the war does not
lessen but rather accentuates the
American peoples responsibilities in
the matter Of being self-governing.
I'VE are fighting today in France to
make certain forever that men shall
have the right to govern themselves"
he said. Here where we have the
privilege we propose to exercise II
fully, now and always. To do less is
TO shirk the supreme duty OF a SOW
ereign citizenship and surrender the
richest heritage with which we are en-
dowed. .
II do not want any allegations from
either one side Of the other concern
ing disloyalty In this coming cam
paign. Any such allegations will give
a totally false impression Of condi-
lions in this country to the enemy and
the man or committee or party who
starts anything like that will be gull
ty OF the worst kind of disloyalty.
"Our candidates will be Of such a
character that a Republican victory
this fall will mean primarily one thing

cution OF the war. A Republican Con-
gress means a war congress which viii

American leaders and We insist that
every possible efficient instrument in
men and material which Is available
shall be used to aid in winning the
war. and that inefficiency shall be
replaced by efficiency wherever found.
and all OF these things which we de-
mand OF the party in power. We ire
vocably pledge for ourselves.
THE fact that the party in power
refused to prepare for war in 1914 and
1915 has not lessened the support by
Republicans in Congress who so
strongly urged t. The most unfair
and unpatriotic efforts in many quar-
ters for political purposes TO prevent
the full participation by Republicans
in far activities have had no effect
whatever on the Republican party's
patriotic and loyal membership in its
ewing TO the last OF its blood and treas.
ure. And nothing can deter US. We
will continue so to give. to strive. to
f.s..t and 10 die, until victorious Amer.
lean arms have forever ended the in.
tolc~able arrogance OF a scientifical.
" trained brutality and we have a
co-ciusive peace with victoy.
The Republican party stands TO-
day for three things:
First. to use every possible means
to win the war now.
Second, for a peace With victory
and never peace by compromise bar
,;5,,I.g OF principles which would VIC
ate American rights, interests and
!.cnor, and make Of our sacrifice a sac
.ifice to be made again by our grand
children.
Third, for a sane preparation now
for a solution OF the problems immeas-
urable in their complexity and magni-
tude which will come after the war.
We are as unprepared for peace as we
we're for war. Every country except
America is preparing for peace.
I'VE will establish policies which
cnce again will bind up the wounds Of
war, which will renew our prosperity,
which will administer the affairs of this
government on a sound business basis
and which will enlarge our strength at
homo and abroad. With all our power
we will strive to prevent the further
spread OF the socialistic tendencies Of
the times toward federal ownership Of
III the creation and distribution Of
wealth as a panacea for all the real
and fancied ills of society and set this
nations feet once more firmly on the
path OF progress and along ways which
liberty and order must ever guard and
preserve.
