sNothing," he said, ..irritates me more
than a certain type Of placard stating
that food will win the war. or something
like that will win the war-whatever Il
IS, forget Tho was will be won by Just
one thing, and that Is the fighting ca
pacity of the men at the front. But
II the nation is not behind them.
EVERY man capable of rendering SER
vice at the front should be there-uu-
less" he eaid with q pregnant pause,
1.-THE nation will not let him go. And
the way to let men go il to let the old
men, and above all the women, do their
Jobs until they come home.
Now, you are helping the fighting
men at the front with what YOU are
actively doing in the canteens. Won are
helping him by providing avenues for
use by the Government of women In ALI
positions in which It Is possible to use
them. That Is what has been done in
England. We are Just beginning TO do
It here. The sooner we organize all the
woman power of this country the
quicker the man power of the fighting
armies will bring Germany to her
knees"

this sentiment and his voice rose as he
went on. turning to right and left and
emphasizing his point with lifted fore
want Is the peace that we dictate and
impose on Germany without consuItinr
Germany as to whether she likes IL or
not. AS for a conference with GERMANY
and Austria on what kind of a peace
they would like, I would as soon ad-
vocate a conference between a criminal
and the Judge as to the sentence the
Judge should Impose on the criminal
And we can get the peace we want. the
peace that will insure us against having
to fight the war all over again in an.
other decade: we can get that peace
speedily and with the minimum of blood
shed only IL we organize all our strength
in this country"
Col Roosevelt declared that he didn't
so much care why people did things as
whether they did them. 81 take IittIe
