ROOSEVELT STATEMENT
is BRANDED AS FALSE
Senator Overman Creates Stir in
Senate by Attack ON Former
President

Washington. April S.-Senator
Overman caused a stir in the senate
when he boldly charged former
President Theodore Roosevelt with
making a false statement when the
Sage of Oyster Bay stated that the
sedition bill, sponsored by Senator
Overman as acting head of the Judi
ciary committee, would prohibit
criticism of the President. The
charge of the North Carolina senator
threw the senate into another hot
policital debate which lasted the best
part Of the day.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt has courage and
love of truth" said Senator Over
man. "he will apologize to the Judi
ciary committee which considered the
bill and the people of the United
States. / think all senator's will bear
me out that there is not a word of
truth in Mr.. Roosevelt's statement"
The North Carolina senator said
that the former President was mis-
informed regarding the bill. because
of erroneous newspaper statements
regarding the measure, but declared
he should correct these false state
ments and apologize to the public.
Senator Lodge, OF Massachusetts,,
Boarh, Of Idaho, Kellog, Of Massa-
chusetts. and other Republican sena-
tors, came to the defense of the colo
mel and stated it TO be their belief
that Colonel Roosevelt was misled by
newspaper reports and did not know
what the bill contained. They ad-
mitted that no provision of the .Aeas
ure would penalize criticism of the
President, as stated by Colonel
Roosevelt in one of his widely circu-
lated and copyrighted editorials in
the Kansas City Star and other news
papers, Citizens or Subjects"

FURY is SPENT AND
SECOND PHASE DIES

Engagements.
Sunday

(Sunday.)
The second phase of the great bat
tie along the Somme, which the Ger
mans began on Thursday last. has
died down. 1t lasted less than three
days, and the fighting has resolved
itself into more or less isolated en-
gagements, in which the French and
British allies have more than held
their own.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at the
lower end of the battle zone. which
apparently they are attempting Ia
enlarge for the purpose of getting
elbow room in which to move their
vast masses of troops.

UPSET PLANS OF

Continued from Page ID
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1918-04-09

America and all who care or dare TO
stand with her must arm and prepar.
themselves to contest the mastery OF
the world, a mastery in which the
rights of common men, the rights or
women and of all who are weak,
must for the time being be trodden
under foot and disregarded, and the
old, age-long struggle for freedom
and right begin again at its begin
ming; everything that America has
lived for and lover and grown great
to vindicate and bring to glorious
realization will have fallen in utter
ruin and the gates OF mercy once
'more pitilessly shut upon mankind
The thing is preposterous and
impossible; and yet is not that what
the whole course and action OF the
German armies has meant wherever
they have movede l do not wish,
even in this moment of utter disil-
lusionment. to judge harshly or un-
righteously. I judge only what the
German arms have accomplished
with Implying thoroughness
throughout every fair region they

What, then, are we to do? For
myself I am ready, ready still, ready
even now. to discuss a fair and Just
and honest peace at any time that
IL is sincerely proposed peace in
which the strong and the weak shall

cution of II cir own will upon the
other nations of the world, that the
German leaders were seeking. They
have answered, answered in unmis-
taxable terms. They have avowed
that it was not justice, but dominion
and the unhindered execution OF
their own will.

DIVISION
PROBABLY BACK FOR
CHRISTMAS Dinner
New England Division Also
One OF First To Land In
France Expected Soon.

Washington, Nov. 14,-The Rainbow
and New England divisions are believ-
ed likely to be back in tho states by
Christmas. With the exception of the
First regular division, they were the
first troops to land in France. While
priority of return will not entirely
follow priority of original shipment,
these two divisions are likely to get
back first.
The war department, however, has
made no announcement yet as to the
probable time for any unit and its plans
are unsettled.
The war plans section of the gener-
al staff is giving serious attention to
the matter of standing army after de-
mobilization and also to the problem
of universal training. These subjects
have heen before the section for long
time and probably will be presented to
Secretary Baker so0h.
According to Bakers Interpretation
of the present military status, all en-
listments will close with the end of the
war emergency, unless congress acts be-
fore that time. Hence, it is believed
that the war plans section S decisions
will be embodied in legislation for con.
gress soon.
Congress will determine, in the last
analysis, how great standing army
the United States should ave and
whether universal military training

SAN DIEGO WAS sunk
BY DEUTSCHLAND SAY
OFFICIALS TODAY
AT First Was Cargo Submar-
ne Cruiser, Later Filled
With Torpedo Tubes.
By Carl D. erOat.

Omitted Press Staff C0rrespondents.)
Washington, Nov. 14-The GERMAN
submarine Deutschland is charged with
responsibility for sinking the United
States cruiser San Diego a short dis
tance out Of New York few months
ago.
The information is the best available
that the navy department could give a,
to the cause, it was stated by an Off
cial today.
The Deutschland, originally a cargo
submarine cruiser, wassconverted to lay
mines and also was fitteu with torpedo
tubes. She was known to have opel

stated. .

SENTENCE INCLUDED
IN ARNISIICE Terms
IS PROVING PUZZLE
Indignation Aroused In Fear
That Atrocities May Es-
cape Punishment.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Germans re-
sponsible for the unspeakable atrocities
in Belgium and elsewhere may go scot
free, under amended section six of the
armistiee.
Without having definite information
of the purpose of this article some state
department authorities so interpreted
the sentence therein, reading:
No person shall be prosecuted fol
offenses in participation in war meas
ures prior to the signing of the armis-
tices.'
This was held by some to mean that
if any Germans were left behind in
France or Belgium. the governments OF
peoples should not take retribution on
them for crimes they committed beyond
the pale of war laws. On the othtr
hand, some interpreted the clauee to
mean the peoples Of evacuated terrific
ries should not be punished iii any way
for participation in the war, either ac
lively or in sympathy with either side
The clause has aroused indignation
in some quarters on the theory that II
means those who ravished Belgium viii
escape any punishment.
The clause was the result of Ameri
can-allied deliberation evidently, and
if the Interpretation given here is COZ
rect, it means that the Versailles con
ference has struck new note in III
idea Of stern, just peace.

Beaten Nation Must Beg From

UNITED Press War Expert. J

(unlted Press war EXpert.)
New York, Nov. 14,-Germany is con
tinuing with subtle persistence her ef
fort to secure the support of the Uhited
States as special counsel at the peace
table
By trying to create the impression
that in the United States, Germany
has a lenient friend at court, the gov.
ernmcnt at Berlin is seeking to start
controversies at the peace conference
between America and the other demo
cratic nations. There is undodbtel
danger of America s world prestige in
this effort Of the Germans to isolate
America from the allies. Hitherto,
world prestige has had little interest fol
Americans; but now that the United
States may be destined to play the
prominent part in the Forthcoming
league of nations, the equalities Of in
ternational leadership have new value
for this country.
Cooperation Must Exist.
Leadership among nations is matter
OF character, strength and intuitive
ability to do the right thing at the
right time.
Germany is trying to develop the no
tion that American leadership s,auns
America must be addressed as q fa'
vorcd nation apart from other nations
and as the world commanders In
chief. In this idea lies the germ OF
destruction Of full cooperative effort
between America and the allies at the
peace conference.
Jealousy Easily Aroused.
America cannot allow Germasy y
single out this country from among the
worlds democracies for the purpose OF
addressing her notes and petitions ex
clusively TO Washington. international

aroused as personal suspicion and 1eal
