u. S. RECEIVES PRAISE
FROM ARCENTINIANS
Fourth of July Is Celebrated
in Buenos Ayres.

BlESos AYREs, Argentina, July A.
United States was termed the god
mother at the christening or the Argen-
tine Republic" here to-day by DR.. AL
berto Martinez, Director of Statistics In
this colony, in the principal address OF
the Fourth of July celebration. DR.. Mar
tinez spoke on 1.-THE United States as
World Power" The Fourth OF July
Demonstration was organized By group
OF Argentinians.
The influence of the United States on
the Argentine Republics history was
traced by DR.. Martinez from the signing
of the American Declaration OF Indepen-
denee until American recognition OF Ar
gentine independence. This recognition.
he said, constituted "a relationship con-
solidated by the historic Monroe Doc
trine"
I'VE owe our best gratitude to the
United States because that country
saved Europe" DR.. Martinez said.
without detracting from the credit to
Belgium, France and Great Britain we
must admit that II 1t had not been for
the United States's troops, money and
food the war would not yet be concluded.
the Central Powers never would have
surrendered Internationally and the day
of victory would still be far distant.
America saved Europe. but Americas
greatest deed is not in having lifted the
yoke of miiitarism but in having sown
ideals OF peace. justice and equality In
the League of Nations. which assures
happiness and welfare to all humanity.
II pass over the military and financial
war achievements of the United States
because they are we'll known here and
I take up the United States interna-
tionai politics"
DR.. Martinez voiced his approval OF
American expansion policy. which he de-
scribed as commercial and not political.
He defended the Monroe Doctrine, and
compared American recognition OF Cuban
independence under the doctrine to the
action OF Germany under similar cir
cumstances. He said the United States
is the only country In a position to
save US from the economic disasters OF
the war and provide us with much needed

TAMMANY DEMANDS
FREEDOM FOR ERIN
Braves at Independence Cele-
bration Reaffirm Right of
Ireland to Be Republic.
AsHURsT CHIEF ORATOR
Miss McCrystal Delivers First
Woman's Address on Fourth
in Wigwam.

Once more the Tammany war whoop
was raised yesterday in behalf Of Erin's
cause, and the aid Of the tomahawk was
pledged to the shillalah. Once more
the braves who had demanded on Feb
ruary the same rights for ireland as
are pledged to the other small nations
let fly their arrows at John Bull as
the shafts Of oratory were launched on
the occasion Of the celebration Of the
glorious Fourth.
The battle cry of Irish freedom was
sounded in the Fourteenth street wig
wan by Grand Sachem John r. Voorhis
at the instance of Chief Medicine Man
Charles F. Murphy, who sat in silence
calling upon all Manhattan Democrats
In Congress to set out upon the warpath
ito the end that Ireland be recognized
as a free and independent republic
among the nations of the world"
The resolution was greeted by the
members of the Society Of Tammany
with an approving whoop; a whoop that
was equalled in volume when Senator
Henry F. Ashurst. visitor Of the tribe.
said that Irish freedom should have been
included in the League of Nations cove
nant.
There were approving handclaps when
Secretary Thomas F. Smith read a letter
OF regret from Senator George e.
Chamberlain, who had been invited to
attend, and who emphasized In his letter
that the day was one Of celebration of
our triumph over "the tyranny of the
British crown"
When 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
was sung 1t was with the restoration
Of the third verse eliminated during the
war by persons who felt that 1t re-
called too wildly the old international
wounds which the nation was striving
to heal.
Among those present and who voted
for the Irish resolution was Gov. Alfred
E. Smith. w0 got a tremendous ovation
from his friends when he read the pocla-
ration of Independence. Senator Ashurst
told the gathering that the United States
Senate stood so to for Irish independ-
ence. and that III the American nation
could voice it's sentiments the vote would
be 20 to l" for Erin's cause.
Apart from this demonstration the In
dependence Day ceremonies were to have
been featured by some little oratorical
outbursts in proximity to the liberty pole
in the south end of Union Square. but
the twelve big sachems and one big
grand sachem who gathered in the suns

driven to seek refuge in the cool wiswam

would receive the moral support OF cleo

one of the most lofty peaks In the Black
Hills-to-day became Mount Theodore
Roosevelt in honor OF the former Presi-
dent of the United States, THE Great

To witness the ceremony thousands OF
Americans from all parts Of the country
came to Deadwood. Gov. Norbeck
of South Dakota presided at the cere-
monies on the summit of the mountain.
and Major-Gen. Leonard Wood was the
orator of the day. The arrangements
were under direction OF the Society OF
the Black Hills Pioneers, Of which Col
onel Roosevelt was one Of the two hon
onary members.
The movement TO provide the memo
rial had its inception at a meeting OF
the Society of Black Hills Pioneers last
January. when a suggestion OF Capt.
Seth Bullock to change the name
Of Sheep Mountain to that of Mount
Theodore Roosevelt was adopted.
Sheep Mountain, one of the highest
peaks in the Black Hills and the high
est detached peak In the chain OF noun
tains so designated. lies three miles from
Deadwood. 1t is accessible to its sum-
NIT by broad highway, suitable for
teams or automobiles. while several
trails, safe and convenient for horsemen
or persons on foot lead to the top OF
the mountain. From its summit the
neighboring states OF Wyoming and
Montana are visible. The view from
the top is unsurpassed for beauty in
this section of the country.
The city OF Deadwood is bearing the
expense entailed by the erection on the
summit Of the mountain OF round tower
on which will be placed the bronze tablet
bearing the legends telling part Of the
life of Theodore Roosevelt and his con-
tribution to Americanism. One Of the
tablets bears the following inscription:

POPE URGES LEAGUE
NEW YEAR MESSAGE TO AMERI.
CA coMMENDs PEACE MOVES
OF PRESIDENT WILSON,.

In a New Years message to America
given to the Associated Press, Pope
Benedict expressed the hope that the
peace conference might result in a
new world order, with league of ma
tons, the abolition of CONSUMPTION and
the establishment, of tribunals to ad
just international disputes. The mes
sage reads: - @
"On the eve' OF the New. Year, in
which humanity is at last to enjoy
the blessings of peace, We are. glad
to send cordial greetings to the
American people as the champions OF
those same principles which have
been proclaimed by both President
Wilson and the Holy See, insuring for
the world justice. peace and Christian
love. ..u.
In this solemn moment, when a
new era in the history of the world
is about to begin. We pray that the
Almighty may. shed His light upon
the delegates who I. are meeting in
Paris to settle the fate Of mankind,
and especially upon President Wilson,
as the head of the. noble nation which
has written such glorious pages in the
annals, Of human progress. 4. >
May the conference be of such, a
nature as to remove any resentment.
abolish forever wars among brothers,
establish harmony and concord and
promote useful labor. Out of the
peace conference may there be born
the league of nations, which, by
abolishing CONSUMPTION, will reduce
ornaments; which, by establishing
interna tional tribunals, will eliminate
or settle disputes; which, placing
peace upon foundation of solid rock,
will guarantee. to every one independ-
ence and equality of rights
