r New York, May 1l.--Theodore
Roosevelt made public last night what
he termed brief preliminary state
ment" in reply to the request of POST
master General Burleson that he prove
statements he had made In an editor
ial to the effect that favoritism had
been shown In the treatment Of publ
cations under the espionage act.
Mr. Roosevelt mentioned spccif-
caly the New York Tribune, Golfers
Weekly and the Metropolitan Maya
inc as publications which have been
assaled by George Crcel OF the com
mittce on public information, while
others which directly or indirectly
aided Germany" have not been sub
jected to government criticism In
the latter category he included tho
publications owned by William r,
Hearst
"Thc prime failure OF the admin

which opposed the war or alta cked our
allies or directly or indirectly aided
Germany Is afforded by the failure of
. the administration to deal with Mr..
Hearst's papers rs 1t dealt with Ger
tain other papers. said the statement,
Referring to the Tribune, Golfers
and the Metropolitan, tho Colonel as
serted they have consistently upheld
the war and have also told the small
portion or the truth II was absolutely
necessary to tell about the administra-
tons failure to conduct the war
efficiently"
He said that Mr.. CreeI Officially

from the United states government
to the American people" had attacked
Golfers, and "he has also attacked
the Metropolitan and the New York
Tribune" He said mother the post

department has made any attempt "to
remedy the wrong It did" In tho case
OF the Metropolitan.
Col. Roosevelt termed Mr. Hearst "A
very wealthy man. reputcd to be much
more than millionaire, owning n
dozen newspapers, more or less. and
q half dozen magazines In dffercn'
parts OF the country"
AT the very beginning Of the war
he said ''the government proceeded
successfully against Tom Watson's
publication in Georgia. Yet Tom
Watson had done nothing that was
anything like A. dangerous to this
country and our allies and as helpful
to Germany as Mr] Hearst has done
iTo support his contention he quoted
from editorials In the Hearst news
papers.
The colonel declared II Is absolute

osrEhp PARTIALLY BLOCKED.
Entire Channel Of Harbor Entrance Not
Stopped But Shipping 10 Hampered.

! London, May lit is declared on
unquestionable authority that the sunk
en- cruiser vindictive lies at the neck
(, of the channel at the entrance OF
. Ostend harbor at an angle of abou,
forty degrees. 1t is obvious that a
vessel 300 feet long lying at this angle
does not effectively block channel
some 800 feet wide, but very useful
purpose has been served.
, A partial and very serious blockade
! has been achieved, and under the con-
ditions Of tide and rapid silt prevailing
on the Belgian coast the, obstruction
certainly will tend to Increase.
1t is not claimed that the sunken
cruiser will prevent the egress of sub
marines or even entirely stop that of
destroyers. However, 1t will invariably
hamper both. and that Is important.
Light craft will not he able, when pur-
sued by British cruisers, to rush full
speed into the harbor, as they have
been heretofore.
Conditions were fairly favorable for
the venture. That part Of the Belgian
coast is heavily armed and the small
number of British casualties indicates
| the enemy was surprised and empha-
sizes the success Of the attempt.
| 1t Is computed that at least three or
! four days must elapse before the chan
Il mel can be cleared and buoys placed
between the stern of the sunlen cruiser
| and the land. In the meantime the tide
and silt will be at work.

After a struggle the business got on it's feet. and in 1867 the factory build ing covered four acres of ground, 40 mechanics were employed.
 Then followed a period of growth and prosperity until in 1910 the old company and many auxiliary con- panies were merged into the Stude- baker Corporation. The necessity of additional capital for the development of the automobile business required the organization of the Studebaker corporation, which acquired the busi- ness, plants and trade names of Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing company, the Everett Metzger- Elan ders company and their subsidiary companies.

 At the entry of our government into the war the corporation instantly | placed its plants at the disposal of the president At present the corporation is devoting half of its plant capacity | to government work, covering orders i for large quantities of military SUD- plies.
