Importnnt made in tho rtelchstnc since
Gci many entered the war.
Von Hcthmann-HollwcR took to the

Intense interest In the Chancellor's

that he will make his peace speech at

A mysterious powder was discovered
today sprinkled on candy In u box which
was found on the doortep of Clinton
Hlnehman, a wealthy farmer, living on
the Cameron ettnte. at Cold Point, near
Chestnut Hill.

Plymouth Township, who has been en

I was former Piesldent Roosevelt, who as
sorted that Piesldent Wilson s woiuscon
lllct with his official deeds.
OY.HTi.R RAY, N. Y., Dee s -Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt made tho following
statement on Piesldent Wilson's nilfliess
to Congress:
"What does Mr. Wilson" moan when hi
ono line ho snys that we have "stood
npait, studiously neutral,' because it was
our manifest duty to do so,' nnd a couplo
of paragraphs Inter sas that 'we demand
security in prosecuting their telt-chosen
lines of national development for others".'
Ho can take cither of the two positions,
"but lid ennnot take both. Did or did not
Mr. Wilson 'demand wicurltv' for Bel
gium to 'prosecute Its self-chosen lines of
national development".' Ho knows ho did
not. Then what does he mean by saying
that 'lie demand this security also foi
others'?
"He Is using words to cover a policy
of dishonorable Inaction. Again, lie sajs
that we am 'fiercely Jealous of aggression
fiom without.' How did he show his
'fierce jealousy' ns regards the nggics
slons on the Lusltanla nud Aucona,
which rcMiltcd Iu the the loss of sevcial
ccoies and the Jeopaidy of hundreds of
American lives'.'
"How has ho shown his l erce Jealous)'

the women and ehllilieu and (ivillniis,

that uur men .should not tlrt bail, when
filed upon.
