Foe to be Equal But Not Master.
For such arrangements and cove.
nants we are willing to fight and to
continue to fight until they are
achieved; but only because we wish
the right to prevail and desire just
and stable peace such as can be Sc
cured only by removing the chief
provocations to war, which this pro-

ousy of German greatness and there
is nothing in this program that i'm
pairs it. We grudge her no achieve
ment or distinction Of learning or Of
pacific enterprise such as have made
her record very bright and very envi-
able. We do not wish to injure her
or to block in any way her legitimate
influence or power. We do not wish
to fight her either with arms or with
hostile arrangements of trade, If she
is willing to associate herself with us
and the other peace loving nations Of
the world in covenants of justice and
law and fair dealing. We wish her
only to accept place of equality

Must Know Who Is Represented.
Neither do we presume to suggest
to her any alterations or modification
Of her institutions. But it is neces-
sary, we must frankly say and nec-
essary as a preliminary to any intel
ligent dealings with her on our
part, that we should know whom her
spokesmen speak for when they
speak to us, whether for the reichs-
tag majority or for the military
party, and the men whose creed is
imperial domination.
Aims Clear; Ready for Test.
We have spoken now, surely, in
terms too concrete to admit of any
further doubt or question. An evil
dent principle runs through the
whole program I have outlined. 1t
is the principle of justice to all
peoples and nationalities, and their
right to live on equal terms of liberty
and safety with one another, whether
they be strong or weak. Unless this
principle be made it's foundation no
part of the structure of international
justice can stand. The people of tie
United States could act upon no
other principle, and to the vindica-
ton Of this principle they are ready
to devote their lives, their honor
and everything that they possess
The moral climax of this, the cul-
minating and final war for human
liberty has come, and they are ready
to put their strength, their own
highest purpose, their own integrity
and devotion to the test.

PLANS GUERILLA DEFENSE
Russia May Resume Military Opera
tions of That Kind.

SIoUS VI tpIdS NIud.
Petrograd, Jan. 9.-At Russian army
headquarters in the field. a war coln.
Gil is being held. Steps are being dis.
cussed that may lead to a resumption
by Russia, not of military operations
on vast scale, such as offensives of
the Brusiloff type, but of active, ener.
getic guerilla defense of the Russian
lines.
In this defense Russia does not ask
Allied aid. She rejects it, even.
She proposes to throw chaos into
the teeth of any military move the
Germans may make. She will give the
Teuton commanders the thing they
fear more than organized armies-a
crippled land of endless vastness, that
has no food-no transportation, and
whose productiveness is paralyzed, a
land, peopled by human guerillas, "ev
cry one of them armed with rifie,"
as Trotzky puts 1t.

JOCKEY PEAK SUSPENDED
-Airman, After Winning Fifth Race at
Belmont. Is Disqualified Because Of
Riders Tactics.

New York, June 1.-The first dis
qualification of the season came at the
Belmont Park track yesterday after
noon. Altman, who stuck his nose
home in front in the fifth race, was
disqualified, and Charley Peak, who
rode him, was suspended for six days
Entering the homestretch, Peak de-
iberately guided his mount over
against Monomoy, which was ridden
by Johnny McTaggart. The foul
nearly unseated McTaggart and pre-
vented Monomoy from going to the
front Undaunted by this foul, Nc
Taggart renewed his bid for the lead
But Peak would not let Meta ggart's
mount pass. He guided Altman di-
agonally across the track and kept
Monomoy in such close quarters that
Monomoy, although many pounds the
better horse, Was unable to take COM
mand. Finishing on the outside Of the
track, Altman passed the judges first.
While the foul riding was going on
through the stretch, the air was rent
with boots and Kisses from the crowd
and before the horses had returned to
the post a big crowd had gathered
around the judges stand. But their
protests we're unnecessary. Richard T.
Wilson, Jr., Walter S. Vosburgh and
F. r. Hitchcock, the stewards of the
meeting, had seen the foul work, and
as soon as Peak dismounted ordered
him into the stand. They heard his
testimony and then sent for McTag-
CART. Then, without an instant's de-
lay. they ordered Airman placed last
and awarded first place to Monomoy.

GEORGE MONROE DIES
Well-KnoWn Bantamweight Boxer,
Once Aspirant for Championship,
Succumbs Suddenly to Heart Failure.

New Haven, June George Joseph
Cooney, known as George Monroe,
well-known bantamweight boxer of
former years and a prOtege of Sam
Harris, who managed the late cham
pion, Terry McGovern, died here yes
terday a few hours after an attack Of
heart disease. He was 43 years old
and came to New Haven from New
York City about a year ago to con-
duct a boxing school.
New York was his home for many
years prior to that. While here he had
acted as referee at local bouts and was
to ofHciate at one next Monday night.
He leaves a widow and three children.
Monroe gave the late Terry Meow
ern three of his hardest battles. 1t
took Terry "a rounds to stop George
in their first meeting in 1898. Later
in the same year Monroe fought Terry
a 20-round draw, and in their third
meeting, also in 1898, McGovern was
given the decision on foul in the
seventh round.
Monroe was a sportsmanly and gem
tlemanly little fellow, who always was
we'll liked by the men Of the boxin g
profession. He was a great traveller
and made friends wherever he went.
He seconded Jack Johnson in his bat
tie with Jess Willard in Havana and
held the reins over boxers in many
of the championship battles.

HUGH HIGH RELEASED.
Little Outftelder Has Trouble Over
His Objection to Joining Mackmen.

New York, June 1.-The Yankees
have released Hughie High, the little
outfielder, to the Athletics. Hughie
refuses to become a Mackman and
has. been suspended by Manager Hug
gins High was not taken on the
western trip. Owing to the fact that
Merlin Kopp was drafted Mack was
very short on outfielders and on Dec
Grafton Day sounded the Yankees on
High. AS Higgins has six outfielders,
he fixed price on High which was
agreeable to Mack, but upon being
advised to report to the Athletics
High said he would not play with
Mack's team.
High and Pipp were released to
the Yankees by the Detroit club in the
winter of 1914-15, at the time that
Rupert and Huston purchased the
club. High had fairly successful
seasons in 1915 and 1915, but was of
Little use to the club last year.
