CANADA INVADED By EAGLE
nird Was Seemingly Tired After Long
Trip, and Was Easily Cap
tured; Given Name.

The American eagle recently spread
his wings maJestically over Canadian
sefL The eagle-a real one by the
way-soared from somewhere and
Anded in Sandwich, Ont. Whence he
came, nobody knows. But 1t was from
. long way of, as he was manifestly
exhausted when he alighted on the
roof of a new house at the corner Of
Lot and Peter streets. 1t was just
about noon. and children coming from
school espied him, says the Detroit
News.
The bird stayed on his perch for
some time, when the mob gathered be-
low. The eagle surveyed the crowd in
. bored manner during the MINUTES
when he was not engaged in searching
with his beak for something or things
under his feathers. The crowd be-
came larger and more threatening.
Finally one drawer than the rest, evil
IDENTIFY Briton without guile, cast the
FIRST stone.
The American eagle spread his wings
to their full extent and, waiting not
FOR the year of pariey between disput-
ant nations, futtered to the ground.
Down the streets Of Sandwich the
proud bird trotted with unhurried
bat dangerous steps. Through a gaunt-
let Of citizens he ran, Indian like, turn
Ing his beak from right to left with
each new step to peck at some venture
some bystander or over-ardent pur-
suer. 1t looked for time as II the
bird would not be captured. But he
finally came to q man whose attitude
was not hostile. With scarcely a
struggle the eagle gave in.
His captor was Clyde Thornton, 81
Peters street, an American citizen.
During the remainder of the day the
Sandwich residents made tentative
peace offerings in the form Of pieces
Of meat. The bird accepted them I'M
graciously.
His name is Roosevelt, Thornton In
sists.

Finally. Germany officially proclaimed
n submarine policy to which We could
not submit and retain our national
honor. no we went 10 war.
In his book. Face to Face with
KaiSerism." Mr.. Gerard says:
What I want especially to impress
upon the people OF tho United States is
that WE ARE AT WAR BECAUSE
GERMANY INVADED THE UNITED
STATES-an invasion insidlously con-
ceived and prosecuted for years before
hostilities began: THAT THIS WAR
IS OUR WAR; that the sanctity of
| American freedom and Of the American
home depends upon what We do now"
There is another significant paragraph
in Mr.. Gerards book. 1t follows:
But one man power always fails in
the end. No man, KING OR PRESI-
DENT, whatever no may himself think,
has brain all powerful and all knowing
There Is wisdom in counsel"
Mr.. Wilson has remained stubbornly
blind to both OF these truths so we'll ex-
pressed by Mr.. Gerard. He has sought TO
make this nation and the world be-
love that we went to war Ito make the
world safe for democracy" He has tried
to make Imagination take the place of
the existing and obvious facts.
Likewise. he has ignored the fact that
no man has a brain all powerful and
all knowing. Consequently. ne is paying
the penalty that Mr.. Gerard so plainly
stated: One man power always fails
in the end"

MORE UNPREPAREDNEss

When the nations Of Europe began
war in 1914. President Wilson and his
Administration as whole were sing
ularly blind on the subject Of prepared
ness. Any member OF the official family
or any appointee who yentured to favor
precautionary measures Immediately be-
came an object OF the presidential wrath
Secretary Of War Garrison took 4
stand far a very mild measure OF pre-
/ paredness and was forced out of the
cabinet. With the sparks from the world
conflasration falling ever thicker and
faster on our shores. Mr.. Wilson would
not listen to the formation even OF a
military bucket brigade!
But it is wholly unnecessary to recite
the details Of our wocful weakness.
When We were finally drawn into the
war. We were so unready that had our
enemies been In a psition to attack US
we should have been devasted and hu-
INFLATED and possibly defeated Our allies
alone saved us until We could get ready
to fight
Now. with the war ended. the unprc-
pdIcuHC5S Oh tue democratic adm n s.
tration continues. 1t is n plain. open
fact that imports OF all kinds OF man.
ufacturcd goods from Europe will soon
! be flooding our country. These goods
will be sold at much lower prices than
our manufacturers can afford to take
for the same articles. They Will be fore
cd to cut wages or close their factories.
What preparation has the Democratic
party made for this coming emer-
gency? Absolutely none What is worse,
the Democratic party will not make any
preparation, because it worships blindly
at the shrine OF a tariff for revenue
only. Nothing but protective tariff
can save our workers their jobs and
their good wages for tho coming four
years. The Republican party has Always
been for a protective tariff and Is
pledged in it's present platform to pass
4 protective law as soon as it is needed
10 save our .workingmen from the
coming flood OF cheap goods
Your vote on November , will Q for
or against q protective tariff which
means for or against continued pros
perity.

GERARD CONTRADICTS
WILSON

President Wilson processes to believe
that we went TO war to make the world
safe for democracy. II he can believe
that after having been in close touch
with evey phase of the conflict. then
his capacity for self-delusion is wonder
full indeed. James W. Gerard. Il staunch
Democrat. who was ambassador to Ger
many during the war. does not agree
with him.
Who Is there that does not recall the
early days Of the war? Sentiment was
always largely in favor. or the allies.
but il was not felt that We were justified
in plunginG into the nalestrom to save
the world from Germany. So strongly
was this sentiment that Mr.. Wilson was
reelected on the slogan. He kept US
out OF war
Then came succession OF Irritating
acts by Germany against the United
States and the war sentiment sprang
pto being almost full grown over night.

WHY TAFT SUPPORTS
HARDING

Tho attempt OF Woodrow Wilson and
Candidate Cox 10 make capital out OF
former President Taft's vlews on the
league Of nations has fallen flat.
They are Historically shouting that
Mr., Taft was for the league as framed
nv Mr. Wilson and that now ne Is sup
portlng Mr.. Harding. Mr.. Taft very
frankly admits that this Is all true and
explains his course in manner wh'cn
shows that it Is the simple and natural
one for him to take.
Mr.. Taft has never made any secret
81 the fact that ne was and still Is FOR
the league Of nations. He took and still
maintains q position which Is not en-
dorsed by: a majority OF Republicans. SO
strongly did Mr. Taft believe IN the
LEAGUE. that he would have accepted II
in any form.
fIe would have accepted the league
,ither with or without Article ~ ana
with or without the other reservations
preposed. He was for the great prinet-
pie Of a world association OF nations
and was willing to make sacrifices OF
his personal opinions in order TO get one
of, any kind.
When Mr.. Wilson refused to accept
any except The" league which had
been framed at Versailles. Mr.. Taft was
profoundly disappointed. He held and
stip holds Mr.. Wilson responsible Tor
the defeat Of the league in the senate,
AT Seattle Monday, he said;
"Yhe president wrecked his own
league. He wrecked it with Article y
Of which he is the author. 1t had been
CLEARLY demonstrated that the represen-
tatives OF the people Of this country
VIII not stand for Article y. The STUB
BORNNESS OF THE PRESIDENT in
refusing to accept endorsement by the
senate Of the league covenant without
Article Y defeated the treaty
Now. Mr.. Cox has swallowed Article
Y and declares that as CHIEF executive
he. will not approve the league without
n THAT MEANS THAT WITH MIR.
cox WE SHALL GET NO LEAGUE
for even If the Democrats elected every
senatorial candidate they have In the
field. they would not have enough to
carry the league without reservations.
Harding. on the other hand. has al
ready voted twice for the league with
reservations and promises that as pres
ident he will endorse the covenant with
out Article x, or a similar international
agreement. limiting ornaments provtd-
ing q court OF arbitration and con-
ference for discussion Of non-judicial
character. THAT IS EXACTLY VIII
WE WANT AND THAT IS WHAT
HARDING AS PRESIDENT WILL
GIVE US"
In other words, Mr.. Taft wants a
world association OF some kind. He sees
clearly that II Cox should be elected. We
would not get one OF any kind, while
with Harding as president he knows
that there will be = sane compromise
and a satisfactory international agree
ment will be adopted.
Therefore. Mr.. Taft is supporting
Harding.

Rube Marquard Is
Barred From Dodger
Team By Its Owner

Cleveland. Oct. 12.-President Charles
Ebbets Of the Brooklyn National league
club tonight said that "Rube" Mar,
guard. pitcher. who was fined 81 and
costs for violating the exhibition ticket
ordinance would never play with Brook
Ign again.
I'm through with him absolutely"
said Mr.. Ebbcts. He hasn't been re-
leased. however, and If anyone else
wants him they can have him. But
Marauard will never again put on II
Brooklyn uniform"
Vanguard Of the Brooklyn Nationals
was fined one dollar and costs in the
local municipal court here this morn
ing on charge of violating the exhibit
tion ticket ordinance. President Heyd-
Ter Of the National. league. who was in
court with Marquard, stated that az the
violation was merely technical. lie would
take M further action in the matter.
President Heydler said, however. that
he did not believe that Marquard would
be in the National league next year.
Marquard Big Drawback.
"Marquard has hurt Brooklyn and ne
has hurt the National league by his
action" said Mr.. Heydler. Baseball
doesn't want men Of his calibre and I
don't think he'll be back in the league
take any official action myself"
Marquard. who had asked for n special
hearing OF his case, in view OF the fact
that he might participate in today's
game appeared in court accompanied by
National League Attorney Joseph
Heintzman. The case was quickly ois-
posed OF. Judge Silbert after listening
TO testimony of the detective who ar
rested Marquard and the statement OF
the Brooklyn pitcher. said that he felt
that Marquard had been sufficiently pun
ished by the nationwide publicity fol-
lowing the act and that he would fine
him 81 and costs. and dismissed the
case.
