ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 20. William Jen
hlngs Brynn whllo here Inst night dictated
a statement regard! ns tho crista with
Germany, which ho requested be given to
tho press" of tho entire country. Bryan
arrived hero from Omaha this morning.
He said that ho had read of the danger of
a break with Germany and later decided
to go to Washington. Ho gave out a sec
ond statement at Union Station, Just
.before bonrdlng a train for tho Knst,
where, ho paid ho was going to try to pre
vent tho United States from getting Into
tho European war.
"I reached St. Louis this morning," ho
said, "on my way to New Orleans to
address a tencherB convention. After
reading tho dispatches In tho newspapers
I have changed my plops and decided to
go to Washington.
"I believe it'womld bo a crime against
civilization for this country to go Inlo
this war, and therefore Unwlso for tho
country to do anything that would liv
crease tho chances of going Into the war."
Bryatt said that ho had not formulated
any plan at action in Washington, hut
felt that It wan his duty as a patriotic
Citizen to go there and do everything ho
could to prevent tho United States from
getting Into' a war with Germany.
On hla arrival at Union Station ho sent
several telegrams from tho station and
then went to tho .station dining room.
Whllo at hrenhfast ho called newspaper
men to him nnd asked them for some copy
paper. The first sheets given him ho said
would not bo enough, so several sheets f
-foolscap were procured.
Bryan wrote out his statement one sheet
at a time, permitting reporters to ropy
each sheet, but detaining his original man
uscript. Ills stntcment was as follows:
"I know nothing of tho controversy
with Germany excepting what I haw read
In the morning newspapers. It tho dls
puto has leached it point where diplomacy
Is unable to deal with it, there are but
two roads open.
"Before there Is any necessity for war,
first the dispute can bo submitted to an
International tribunal for Investigation
nnd report. This Is the plan now em
bodied In 30 treaties with governments
representing three-fourths of the popula
lion of tho world. These treaties require
us to tike this course with Great Britain,
Franco and Italy In case of dispute with
riny of theso nations. German lias for
mally approved tnls plan, although no
treaty has yel been negotiated with Ger
mnny, but ns the plan was offered to all
tho world t take It for granted It wilt at
least bo proposed before wo go to war
with any country.
"If for any reason this treaty plan 1s
not employed there Is still another alter
native1 beforo going to war, namely, the
postponement of the settlement of the dis
pute until the present wnr Is over.
"Them aro two reasons why this course
Is prefornble to going Into this wnr! First,
postponement would In all probability en
able Us to reach a settlement after the
war, tho fear of tho effect of tho settle
ment on this war being the greatest obsta
cle In tho way of settlement.
"Second, If we must have war, It Is
better to postpone It Until after this war
Is oyer. Then It will bo our wnr with
tho nation with which wo have our dis
pute nnd wo can decide wlien to go In and
When to como out,
"But If wo go Into this wnr wo stay In
until tho others como out nnd while In
fight for tho things they fight for. In
other words, wo will becomo entangled
with tho dispute of a Kuropcnn monarch
and put an Amcrlcnn nrmy nnd navy at
tho command of a Kuropcnn monarch to
bo used to tight out nls quarrels with
other Kuropean monarchs. This war has
alrcndy cost' tho lives of some 3,000,000
men nnd tilled tho otitsldo world with
widows, orphans and cripples.
"It Is Inconceivable that our people de
sire to enter Into thm war and spend
hundreds of thousands of lives and
billion's of dollars to vindicate tho right
of an American citizen to put his con
venience nbovo his nation's wolfarc. It
Is ns much u citizen's duty to consider
his country ns It Is tho duty of the coun
try." ,
NEW Tonif, April 20. Theodore
Roosevelt Issued a statement Just before
he left for Oyster Bay last night In which
ho bitterly arraigned President Wilson for
his foreign policy, nnd said that whatever
developments might follow Mr. Wilson's

PRESIDENT A FAILURE,
WHATEVER IS RESULT
OF ACT, SAYS COLONEL
Roosevelt Declares German Ac
cession Would Show Amer
ican Lives Could Have
Been Saved
NEGLECTED TO PREPARE
Glared, was equally to blame for tho fact
that this country was In an Impotent
condition after 14 months of warning.
Here Is Colonel rtoosevelt's statement:
Fourteen months ngo tho President's
"strict accountability" note to Germany,
If It meant anything, meant at least
What the present note means. Unfortu
nately, tho President's action In Mex
ico and as regards other matters had
been such that Germany did not be
lieve the note meant anything, nnd acted
accordingly. And tho President's re
peated notes since then, Interspersed as
they were with speech and statements
such ns being "too proud to fight," did
not remove the Impression.
During these 14 months ship after
ship has been sunk, and many thou
rands of lives of noncombatants. Includ
ing hundreds of women nnd children,
have been lost.
If Gcrmnny now does ns the Presi
dent demands, It will be proof positive
that If ho had chosen to take the proper
position at the tlmo of the original
"strict accountability" noto the lives of
all theso women and children and other
noncomba'tantB would have been saved
and the cnuses of friction with Ger
many would havo been removed.
If, on tho other hnnd, Germany does
not do na requested. It Is well to remem
ber that such a noto ns the "strict ac
countability" noto II months ngo Is
unpardonnble, unless It Is backed by
tho deeds to mako tho words good.
If It was meant to be taken seriously
nnd to produce results, It should have
been accompanied by Immediate and
thoroughgoing preparation, whereas as
ft matter of fact we are not now
stronger by a man or a rlflo or a boat
or a gun, and of the small amount ot
ammunition we have manufactured a
part was furnished to the Vllllstas, who
used It against our troops, and somo has
since boen furnished to Carranzlstas,
who have likewise used It against pur
troops.
Every one of these matters I dis
cussed at the time, and what I have
said Is to be found In mj book called
"Fear God and Take Your Own Part,"
and I can only repeat, nS I there said,
that whereas courtesy combined wlUt
resolute Insistence upon one's rights
tends to produce peace, a policy of weak
submission to wrong produces' long
succession of Injuries which must be
submitted to' and then leaves a condi
tion of exasperation far more dangerous
to peace than If thero had been at the
outset courageous Insistence upon one's
rights.
Most of the visitors at Roosevelt's
oftlccs yesterday were Interested chiefly
In tho effect that the Wilson note and tho
address to Congress would have Upon the
fight lloosevelt'a followers, are making
to nominate him at tho national con
vention of the Republican party In
Chlcngo on June t. If there was serious
troubla with Germany, hone of the Roose
velt leaders seemed to doubt that there"
would bo an nlmoat unanimous' appeal on
the part of the country for tho Colonel
to take the leadership and that he would
be nominated and elected by an 'over-
wnemung majority.

She's active, "fiiH of life, lacks
livers a terrific wallop with only the slightest effort.
I mean by that a power-wallop. gj&MHSe""sfie
turns up 3400 revolutions per minuttSrHer crank
shaft speed surpasses that of any other American
car. -
Though there are three built in the U. S. A.
that get a bit beyond 3100 r. p. m.
It's like an electric fan, which turns up 4000
r. p. m., or a turbine which does around 4300.
Of course, the Chalmers engine doesn't hit 3400
all the time. 3400 is the maximum. When the car
is running 5 miles an hour she turns up 250 r. p. m.
At 10 miles an hour she does 500 r. p. m. At
15 she does 750. At 20, 1000. At 30, 1500.
So you see the engine isn't hitting the highest
speed at the slower car speeds those speeds you
drive 90 per cent of the time.
In a way it's like horse-power. You say the
horse-power of your car is 40. You mean by that
the maximum is 40.
Yet at 10 miles an hour you are using probably
less than 10 h. p. While at 20 miles an hour you
are using about 17 or 18 li. p. And so on.
3400 r. p. m. is just another way of stating horse
power. It's the modern way. Because it shows
power through supreme engine speed and not
through large bore and stroke, which means a brute
of an engine, and hence a vehicle of great weight.
The day of such a car has gone by. You and
I want a light, spunky beast that responds to the
slightest touch of the accelerator, that pulverizes
hills, that drives straight as a sunbeam,' that has
the lure in her lines, and obeys;
. That's the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers. I've never
had any person buy one and telLme shewash?t
there. For she is 100 per cent.
Run in and I will show you a car that has
doubled my business.
Ask me about our service inspection coupons.
They are negotiable with all Chalmers, dealers
everywhere. This system is a most important con
sideration in buying your car,
