"Speed Up the War and Prepare
to Defend Ourselves Afterwards
Said Theodore Roosevelt in an Address at Spring
! field, Today; "Make Ready to Solve the a
Industrial and Social Problems Which
viii Come With Peace"

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-Speed up
the war, prepare to defend ourselves
afterward and make ready to solve
the industrial social problems which

mands of Theodore Roosevelt ex-

here today.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke at the Cen
tennial celebration of the admission of
Illinois to statehood.

thorough going and absolute Ameri-

these needs come the needs of begin

pare for the tasks that are to come
after the war, the task of preparing
so that never again shall war fird Us
helpless, and the task of preparing
for the social and industrial problems
which this earth-shaking conflict of
giants will leave in its ruinous wake.
"To insist upon thoroughgo going, 100
per cent Americanism among al our
people is merely another way of say
ing tthat we insist upon being a ma
ton proud of our national past and
confident of our future as the great
est of the nations of mankind; for if
we permit our people to be split INTO
a score cf different nationalities, each
speaking different language and
each paying it's real soul homage to
some national ideal overseas, we shall
