I. r. Says Germany
Counts Upon Hearst
Colonel in Foreword to Book
Also Denounces La Toilette
and Viereck

Copies of "foreword" written by
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in Febru-
ary last to new book by Lewis Elm
stein, who was special envoy to Turkey
from this country in 1915, were made
public yesterday by the department of
information at Columbia University.
Colonel Roosevelt warns the country of
German propaganda, and predicts that
no sooner is the war over than Ger
many will renew her efforts to "render
America the dupe and tool of European
mllltarism by breeding hostility to
England"
Colonel Roosevelt minces no words
in pointing to Senator's La Toilette and
Stone and editors like Hearst and Vie
reck as men on whom Germany count
ed in advance for support.
After the war;" says the Colonel.
Germany will once more begin her
campaign to render America the dupe
and tool of European miltarism by
breeding hostility to England, and
with this end in view she will EMPLOY
everybody, from organizers of German
American alliances to editors of Ger
man-American papers, and. of course,
she counts in advance on the support
OF politicians like Senators La Follette.
and Stone and editors like Messrs.
Hearst and Viereck.
"The pacifists of the Norman Angel
type, whether in England or America.
and the silly men and silly women who
listen to them are the patent enemies
OF the peace of justice and the tools
OF alien militarism. Unfortunately. in
this country, while there has at times
been repulsive social Anglomania
among limited classes, the political
danger has always been from the an.
pea! of demagogic politicians to the
anti-English vote
This manifested itself in the can
tious meekness with which our govern.
mental authorities protested against
the wholesale murders of our men and
women by German submarines com
pared with the hectoring attitude as
sumed toward Great Britain over
mere property rights--a striking inver.
sion Of Abraham Lincoln's insistence
on putting the man above the dollaY."

them in their determination to keep

obtained temporary Injunction, which
will be argued before Justice Green

day. The decision of the court, al
though it may serve to invaldate the
tionality, will not stop other plans
being made to carry out the popular
demand for the .anti-Hearst prohibi-

"The attitude of the administration
is unchanged" said Alderman William
Dawson, who introduced the ordinance
yesterday.

without regard to the language in
which they are printed. The Common
Council will consolidate its position
so that it will be as impregnable
against legal as against unpatriotic at

j. Henry Esser, Corporation Coun-
sci. said that when he appears before
Justice Greenbaum on Monday he will
defend the ordinance on the broad
grounds Of patriotism and loyalty to
country, both vitaly necessary in times
Of war.
That the ordinance represents pop
ular patriotic opinion, Mr.. Esser ar
gued, was demonstrated by the letters
received all day yesterday from all
parts of the country, some of the mis-
sives coming from as far away as St.

the matter of showing other cities the
most efficacious way - the Hearst

Hearst's "New York American" and

its Mayor, Ruford Franklin, Summit
to-day offered this plan free of charge
to all towns that want it.:
here is Mayor Franklin's receipt for
taking the "s-s-s-s-t" out of Hears -s-s-t:

Mayor said, "is patriotism. No town
in the United States has more patriot

With patriotism, all that was necessary
was to let the newsdealers know that
their customers were Americans and
did not want to buy the kind of paper
that edits victory prayer from the
Presidents proclamation. The news
dealers, being patriotic, cancelled or

ordinances or making demands for
newsdealers is not the best way to do

by Hearst lawyers as boycott. But
Hearst lawyers can't enloln patriotic
Americans from appealing to the pa

The Summit plan works so we'll that
Hearst representatives admitted defeat

full of fight; there were nearly dozen
of them militantlys shouting "Ameri-

the patriotism" of each of them.

described them. On the other side sat
Mayor Franklin. The three Hearst
men played these trump cards:
First, that if the sale of Hearst
papers was not resumed Summit
would get no newspapers at all; that
other New York newspapers would
stand by Hearst.
Second, that Hearst would open up
