SHOW NO MERCY
Roosevelt Urges Seyerest Pen
atty for All Traitors.
Packed Coliseum Heard the
Colonel in st. Louis.

ST., Louis, Mo-, June 11.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt. reilerating his plea
for 10O-per-cent Americanism. pre-
paredness, and for winning the war
and winning it now, was greeted Mon
day night by a crowd that filled the
Coliseum Speaking under the aus
pieces of the National Security league.
he urged that there be no societies
half American and half something
else; that there be but one language
-English-taught in the primary
schools and that congress pass a law
providing that newspapers be pub
lished only in the English language.
Roosevelt had passed the day in his
hotel all social affairs having been
abandoned because of advice of the
coloners physician that he conserve
his energy. 1t was stated that he
would complete his speaking tour.
In urging a united Americanism,
putting every ounce of strength back
of the army at the front. Roosevelt
declared that any man. who did not
think enough of America to fight for
it was not an American. He urged
that congress provide in the future
that Immigrants be provided with
the opportunity thru night schools. to
study English and If in five years they
QlQ not avail themselves Oh the up
portunity, to send them back to the
country they came from.
Show Traitors No Mercy.
He said that every traitor in the
United States should not be informed,
but buried.
Mercy to, the traitor is cruelty to
loyal men. Weakness in dealing with
traitors is disloyalty to our men at the
front who risk their lives" he said.
If the United States had followed
the advice of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
two or three years ago. he said. there
would have been two million prepared
and in arms; Russia would never have
been broken. and peace would have
been declared in 80 days after the
United States entered the war.
I'VE would have had two million
men ready when war broke out, and
they would have driven thru to Ber-
lin before three months under Cen
eral Woods advice" he declared.
Roosevelt appeared weakened by
the attack of erysipelas in his left leg
and often during his address relied
on chair for support.

HE SHELVED WOOD
Sec. Ba4er Accepts Responsible
ity for Generals Jnternment.
He Was Evasive as to Reasons
for His Decision.

washington, June 11.-When Secre-
tary Baker appeared before the SEN
ate military committee Monday to
discuss the big military appropriation
bill, members of the committee asked
him why it was Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood had been suddenly barred from
going to France when he had got as
far on his way as the embarkation
camp.
The committee got very little more
satisfaction than the public, has to
date, on why the senior major gen.
eraI of the army has been kept home
from the battlefields.
There were several versions, or
rather impressions, gathered by MEM
bers of the committee as to Secretary
Bakers statement. The hearing was
in executive session One version was
that the secretary told the committee
General Wood remained here for the
good of the service" meaning that the
war department did not think it wise
for him to be sent over at this time.
~ had to be the one to Decide the
secretary is quoted as saying. An
other senator said
"I gathered from the secretary
that the government wanted perfect
harmony in its force abroad and was
afraid General Wood might not work
in the best of harmony with some
who are over there. This was not the
secretarys statement. but my impress
sion of what he attempted to con-
vey."
Secretary Evasive.
Members Of the committee agreed
that the war secretary was evasive in
his answers on the Wood case. He
went only a little way in explanation
and would go no farther when ques-
toned. He left the same doubt with
the committee as to why the general
had been kept from the battlefields of
France that the public has felt ever
since the sudden switch in General
Woods orders. Secretary Baker did
not answer a direct question as to
whether Woods being kept home was
at the suggestion of General PERISH
ing. That is the generally accepted
version of the affair here.
Mr.. Baker said he took full respon-
sibility for the orders and that ended
that phase of the discussion. The war
secretary left the distinct impression
that the case of General Wood was not
settled finally. Some took this to mean
he would get service abroad after a
time and the matter was under con-
| sideration. Others that it meant only
different assignment in this country
1t was made known that General
Woods orders still call for him to go
to shelf job at San Francisco after
he has finished his work at Camn
Funston. After the senate COMMITTEES
meeting there was gossip in army cir
cles that General Woods new orders
were on the way to MIN. This was not
confirmed. however

ASK FOR BOXERS
English Want Them to Help

Clean Sports Are Needed to
Keep Army Clean.

London, June 11.-England wants
some of the cleanest and best Ameri-
can champion and near champion
boxers now training the American
soldiers in the various camps to cross
the ocean and help entertain the
doughboys and officers in England.
Americans and Englishmen as well
who are waking up to the crying
need for clean sports and entertain
ment of the Yankees In, London and
near by camps, need some headliners
around which they can build the con-
templated competitions which they
hope to give our boys.
The projected events already are
being discussed turnout England, and
the idea is held that eventually they
may branch out into periodical inter
national contests.
The fame of the present Wednesday
fights arranged for the entertainment
of the Americans is spreading, but
they lack the glamor of big names.
1t has been found that but few of

ON DOYLE
Giant Idol Injured When Fu-
ture Looked Brightest.
Streak of Tough Luck First
Showed in 1915.
BY JACK vEIoCK.


New York, June 11@There's jinx
on the trail of Larry Doyle.
The idol of Giant fans, idolized more
than ever this season when he re-
turned to the Giant lineup. was well
started on what promised to be one of
his most successful sessions when the
jinx laid him low.
Doyle's recent illness. which culmi-
mated in an operation for stomach
trouble in a New York hospital. was
a serious blow to the Giants. He was
leading the National league in batting
wien he left the team, and tho his
work in the field was bit slower than
in other years, he had fitted himself
into the McGraw combination so nice
ly that the work of the whole infield
was inspired by his presence and the
pepper he put into the game.
Niehoff Fills Place.
The Giant manager was forced to go
into the market and purchase Ber-
trand Niehoff from the Cardinals at
Branch Rickey's own price. Niehoff
is a good, consistent ball player. yet
he is not Doyle, and the fans at the
Polo Ggounds all miss Larry.
Doyles streak of tough luck started
when McGraw traded him to the Cubs
brought Heine Zimmerman to New
York. Doyle had shown signs of slip
ping that season and McGraw believed
the veteran was on the road to retire.
ment. Then. too. the foxy New York
manager had secured Charley Herzog
from the Reds to play the second sack.
Shortly after going to the Cubs
Doyle broke an ankle sliding into a
base. That was the first evidence of
the presence of Old Man Jinx.
