Appeal to World ut Chicago.
During the course Of the Chinese war
President Roosevelt himself has made some
far-reaching remarks Of persuasive nature
for popular consumption. His now-famous
Chicago speech of October 5, 1887, with its
suggestion that the world apply a quaran-
tine to war-mad nations was one of the
most fortnight appeals to come out Of the
White House since the war.
With the warning that the United States
could not escape q world plague Of lawless-
ness, Mr.. Roosevelt resorted to familiar
figures to point his argument:
When an epidemic Of physical disease
starts to spread, the community approves
and joins in . quarantine of the patients
in order to protect the health of the COM
munity against the spread of the disease"
And further:

clared or undeclared. We are de-

insure ourselves against the disastrous
effects Of war and the dangers of involve
