SILENT ON STATE ISSUES

Col. Theodore Roosevelt issued q
statement at Oyster Bay last night in
which he declared that under no cir
cumstances would he accept the Re-
publican nomination for Governor of
New York.
The former President made his an
rouncement wnen he sent a telegram to
Attorney General Merton E. Lewis at
Albany in reply to a message which the
Attorney General sent several days ago
Offering to withdraw from the race IL the
Colonel would became a candidate.
In his telegram Col Roosevelt. did
not mention any OF the subjects which
were taken UP by the Republicans at
their cci> ention last week. Ho did net
refer 70 prohibition or woman suffrage
nor did he propose a candidate for
Governor
whole Heart in the War.
The message follows:
Dear Mr.. Lewis: am very genu-
inely touched by the spirit of your re-
quest and l need hardly say how much
l appreciate the honor you do me. But
cannot be a candidate for nor accept
the nomination for Governor of New
York.
THE position of Governor in any
state. and especially In this great and
most populous State. 10 one of the very
highest consequence and there is no man
in the United States who ought not to
feel honored to have the chance OF fill-
ing it. But the duties of the place are
not only OF the highest Importance but
are also very exActing and onerous and
demand all of any mans time and en-
ergy. and whoever occupies the place
should devote himself wholeheartedly
to the work. ana therefore his heart
heartedly In the work. This was true OF
me twenty years age when l became
Governor OF New York. II is not and
cannot be true Of me nov.
For the last four years my whole
being has been absorbed in the consid-
Grafton of the tremendous problems.
national and International, created by
the war. I have thought of them and
dwelt on them in my mind to the ex-
clusion Of all other subjects. I could not
turn from them with any heart to deal
with any other subjects, even the do
mestic problems of this great State
deeply though appreciate the vital i'm
portance of these problems.
"My Work IL for tho Men"
my work is for the men who are
fighting in this war. My mind dwells
continually on the problems Of the war.
on the international problems of the
peace which Is to close and Justify the
war and on the tremendous problems,
social and Industrial. with which we
shall be faced after the war is ended.
This being SO, the very fact Of my In
tense appreciation OF the magnitude of
the New York State interests with which
the Governor of New York must deal
forbids my undertaking a task to which
could not bring the whole Of whatever
strength and thought and ability pos
sess.
Again assuring you Of my very great
appreciation and with very real regret.

PARIS July 22.-Germany is planning

by q daring attempt to retrieve the
failure of the U-boat programme and to
hold some reputation for the naval
forces. A despatch to the Paris Journal
from The Hague this morning says that

The report confirms that Of a sailor
who returned from Germany several
weeks ago. He declared that when the
German navy begins fighting the sub
marines would resemble a shoal Of her

Several naval authorities who were
questioned by the correspondent for THE
Sun said that It was not unlikely that
Germany was longing to make bold
stroke on the water to redeem the repu-
tation OF her navy. The Zeebrugge at
tacks and the recent Italian victories
on the Adriatic have been followed by
a reaction that is stirring Admiral Won
Tirpitz to demand activity at whatever
cost.

In tins connection It should be eS-

there is a suspicion that this verson

 When the city was captured by the British on March II, 1917, the military authorities found a con- munity infested with contagious Ftseas,s 5. with an inadequate water supply. the people themselves luke w"rm in the interest Of the British fO- their own welfare.
 All this has been changed within ne last year. A police force has been organized also a fire brigade.
 The water supply has been eX- tended. Electric street lights have been installed. Schools have been erected and mosques have been re- paired The streets are flushed daily and sanitary squads are makin it Q healthy town to live in. Mar kets have been opened, assuring a continual supply of food.
 And most of all, the community's attitude toward the British has cnanged to that of good will and trust They are cooperating in all civic works, and openly express their preference to the rule of their deliveries, rather than go back to- Turkish misrule.
 Whst has been accomplished in Bagdad is being accomplished in thu other cities in the hands of the allied forces. They are making tr'ends of the population and incl dentally ringing down the curtain on Germany's hopes to control Mes opOtamia after the war.
