ROOSEVELT DISSATISFIED
 WITH PRESIDENTS POLICY
WOULD HAVE CONGRESS INTER FIBRE IN THE SETTLEMENT
 OF THE PEACE TERMS.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct 24.--Theo-,
 dore Roosevelt sent duplicate tele-
 grams tonight 10 United States Sena- tors Lodge, Poindexter and Johnson , in which he characterized as thor oughly mischievous" the IA principles enunciated by President Wilson if they
 are to be made the basis of peace The telegrams follow:
 As an American citizen most earnestly hope that the senate of the United States, which is part of the
 reaty making rower of the United States will take affirmative action against a negotiated peace with Ger many and in favor of a peace based
 on the. unconditional surrender Of Germany.
 "l also declare against the adopt
 ion in their entirety of the IA points of the presidents address of last Jan- nary as offering q basis for a pece stistctory to the United States Let us dictate peace by the hammering guns and no chat about peace to the Iaccomlpniment of the clicking of type writers.
 The languarge of the II points and the subsequent statements explaining
 or qualifying them is neither straight forward nor plain, but if construed in it's probable sense, many, and possibly most of these points are thoroughly mischievOus and if made the basis Of
 q peace such peace would represente. not the unconditional surrender or Germany, but the conditional surren-. der of the United States. Naturally Ithey are entirely satisfactory to Ger many and equally naturally they are in this country to every pro German
 and pacilicist and socialist and anti American so called internatonaist
 The only peace offer which We should consider from Germany at this time is an offer to accept such terms
 as the allies, without our aid, have i'm posed upon Bulgaria We ought to de-
 clare war on Turkey without an hour delay The failure to do so hitherto has caused the talk about making the
 world safe for democracy to look un
 pleasantly like mere insincere rhetoric While the Turk is left in Europe ana permitted to trrannize over subject people the world is thoroughly unsafe for democracy.
 Moreover, we should find out what the president means by continually re- ferring to this country merely as the associate instead of the ally of the nations with whose troops our own troops are actualy brigaded in battle If he means that we are something less than ally of France. England, Italy, Belgium and Serbia, then he means that we are something less than all en- emy of Germany and Austria Wc ought to make it clear to the world that we are neither an untrustworthy friend, nor an irresomte foe. Let us show that we do not desire 10 pose as the umpire between our faith fu and loyal friends and our treach- we are staunCh ally of our friends and the staunch foe of our enemies.
 When the German people repudiate the Hohenzollerns, then, and not un- til then, 1t will be time to discriminate between them and their masters hone the senate and the house will pass some resolution demanding the !, surrender of Germany as our war aim and stating that ouh peace terms have never yet been formulated or accepted by our people l and that they will be fully discussed with our allies and made to fully sat isfy our own people before they are discussed with Germany
