 OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Oct. 24-Theo- dore Roosevelt sent duplicate tele- grams to United States Senators Lodge, Poindexter and Johnson, in which he characterized, as thoroughly mischieVous, the fourteen points enunciated by President Wilson IT they are to be made the basis of peac. The telegram follows:
 As an American citizen, 1 most earnestly hope that the senate of the United States, which is part of the treaty making power of the United States, will take affirmative action against a negotiated peace with Ger many and in favor of a peace based on the unconditionl surrender of Ger many.
 'I also declare against the adoption, in their entirety, of the fourteen points of the presidents address of last January, as offering a basis for a peace, satisfactory to the United l States. Let us dictate peace by the | hammering guns, and not chat about | peace to the accompaniment of the clicking of typewriters.
 Neither Frank Nor Plain
 The language of the II points and 1 the subsequent statements eXplainins 1 or qualifying them, is neither straight i forward nor plain, but if construed in it's probable sense, many, and possibly most, of those IA points are thoroughly mischievous and if made the basis of a peace, such peace would represent not the unconditional surrender of Germany, but, the conditional surren- der of the United States. Naturally they are entirely satisfactory to Ger many and equally naturally, they are in this country satisfactory to every pro- German, and pacifist, and socialist and anti American, so-called interna- tionalist
 "The only peace offer which ", should consider from Germany, at thi! time, is an offer to accept such term \ as the allies, without our aid, hay, . imposed on Bulgaria. We ought tt declare war on Turkey without al hours delay. The failure to do SC hitherto, has caused the talk abou making the world safe for democrac. to look unpleasantly like mere in sincere rhetoric. While the Turk i left in Europe and permitted to tyran nize over subject peoples, the worlt is thoroughly unsafe for democacy.
 What is Meaning of Associate?
 Moreover. we should find out wha the president means, by continual, referring to this country merely a associate, instead of the ally, of the ma tions with whose troops our own troop are actually brigaded in battle If h means that we are something less thai ally of France. England, Italy, Bel | gium and Serbia, then he means tha we are something less than an enem. of Germany and Austria We ough to make it clear to the world that WI are neither an untrustworthy friend nor an lrresolute foe. Let us clearl, show that we do not desire to pose a the umpire between our faithful ant loyal friends and our treacherous an, brutal enemies, but that we are tn staunch ally of our friends and tn staunch foe of our enemies.
 When the German people repudat the Hohenzollerns. then, and not unti . then, it will be time to discriminat between them and their masters
 hope the senate and the house vii pass some resolution demanding tn unconditional surrender of Germany as our war aim, and stating that ou peace terms have never yet been form ulated or accepted by our people, an, , that they will be fully discussed wit our allies and made fully satisfactor , to our own people before they are dis cuSsed with Germany"
