Still a third cause for concern
at Washington is the fact that
most strikes are led By work
men with foreign names and
background.
President Roosevelt surprised
his own naval experts when he
disclosed that the neutrality pa

shore line. and may be advanced
even further toward Europe. II
was news also to the South
American countries which have
agreed TO cooperate in the estsb-

Official maps on the walls of
key offices in the state, war and
navy departments appear to
contradict the president. When
the offshore neutrality area was
first created, departmental Off
Gals drew black lines on their
maps to de-limit the sector in
which American warships would
operate. In every instance the
lines were drawn only 500 miles

Bitter Attacks by Benneti

hight years after Horace

approximately two thousand
dollars of his own money and

he wrote:

Because he violently opposed
the Mexican war as an unwar-

part of the United States, threats
were made to mob the Tribune
office. His support of the

jected him to ridicule. but he was
