DETROIT, Mich., May 10. Theodore

At the outset the Colonel professed reluct
ance to speak justjbeforo tho conventions,
"because It Is very difficult to make people
understand that speeches at such a time nr
not of the ordinary political type made In
the Interest of some particular Individual
candidacy." But tho sucess of Mr. Ford In
the primaries of Michigan and his strength
Ir. Nebraska and Pennsylvania had had
such an effect on Congressmen, he con
tinued, that he must sricak out. '
Mr, Roosevelt to all Intents and purposes
proclaimed his candidacy for President and
announced thj terms on which ho would
accept another-clcctlon. when, after a strik
ing arraignment of "hyphenated citizens"
guilty of disloyalty to the country of their
adoption, he said.
''I very freely ndmlt that no man ought to
back me or support the policies for which
I stand unless with the clear understanding
that these are straight-out American poli
cies, not policies In the Interest of urae
other nation against my own, and that our
citizens do, play my game, precisely to the
extent that they support such straight-out
American policies.''
BELGIUM'S FATE A LESSON.
The colonel expressed great admiration,
for Mr. Ford's character and his treatment
of his employes, and referring to these lat
ter said philanthropic Belgian employes of
the Ford type before tho war treated their
workers well and decried preparedness for
war. Just as Mr, Ford has done. These Bel

cannot And work to do except at tho behest
of the conqueror and their employers' fine
theories hav resulted only In disaster a,nd

the speaker, on account of Japan's conquest
of that country. Japan, however, he said,

Roosevelt, "can with truth be said of many,

NATIONS WEARY OF WAR
Berlin Mny Reply to Speeches of
British and French
Statesmen
By CAUL W ACKERMAN
BERLIN, May ID.
There Is a feeling here that If a strong
neutral, bucIi as tho United States, under
took to negotlato pence It might succeed,
Diplomatic circles regard tho recent state
ments of President I'olncaro and Sir Kd
ward Grey ns tho opening guns In an In
formal discussion of peace, though tho ex
pressions from the Allied lenders, when
ranged alongside the German Chancellor's
recent Reichstag speech, do not appear al
together conciliatory.
No decision has been reached here as
to whether any official reply to these state
ments will bo mado public by the German
Government, though It Is posslblo this will
be done. One official with whom I talked
today declared that making pence at this
stage of the war would bo more difficult
than adjusting tho recent German-American
HUbmnrlno dispute. Ho pointed out,
however, that no belligerent can publicly
stato definite terms of penco while In
formal discussions contlnuo with each side
making drnstlc statements of what It In
tends to accomplish as the result of the
war.
PEACE SENTIMENT STRONG.
I havo Just 'returned from n, visit to Hol
land, where I found that Dutchmen believe
tho English, French and German people all
deslro peace. The general Impression In
Holland Is that the time for a declslvo vic
tory for either side has passed, although
each of the belligerents may attenmt a sum
mer offensive. Tho Dutch think It Is Amer
ica's duty to act now and that the time Is
ripe to bring the belligerents together. Ono
diplomat said that If the pence talk now
In circulation continues for a few months
tho belligerents will learn enough of what
cacn sme wants to bring them together In
a peace agreement by October.
The genernl Impression prevails in Hol
land that Premier Asqulth and Chancellor
Bethmann-Hollweg might mak.o peace, but
that tho-Kltchener-Noithcllffo group jn Iing
land, Willi President Poincare In France, are
anxious to continue tho war. Hollanders
declare that one reason England doe3 not
want pence now is because she believes that
German submarines cannot behave, and that
ns long as the possibility of, the United
States breaking off relations with Germany
exists, England woud bo foolish to make
peaco. The Dutch, however, regard this as
only an excuse set up by that group In
England which -wants a continuation of the
war.
WANT US. TO LEAD
The Hollanders nre outspoken in their
regard for -America, considering tho United
States their best friend. They desire that
the United States lead the way for peace,
feeling that It Is Its duty to. end the blood
shed. To my surprise some Hollanders asked
me when the German peqple are going to
start a revolution because of the food sit
uation. Although meat Is scarce, although
the fchortago may Increase, tho proposed
new Government burenu to regulate tho snle
of meat In Germany will provide livable
rations and prevent food demonstrations.
So far there Is no Indication that any
demonstrations nt all equaling tho Irish
uprisings are llkelyto occur.

that Mexicans were smuggling American

Inability of tho Cnrrnnza fiovorntnent to

THE REV. CHARLES W. WELCH
New York pastor, who asserts the
agitation directed against tho New
York Presbytery nnd tho Union
Theological Seminary is n monetary
and not n spiritual one. He says
it will never bring forth ncent for
nny theological seminary if Union
should be compelled to forfeit her
funds. The money would revert to
the heirs. Union now has ?5,0Q0,

who originally gave the funds' to Union.
The authority for these statements lo tha
Rev. Charles W. Welch, pnstor of the Park
Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York,
himself a conservative, nnd bellover In the
Virgin birth nnd all tho Church doctrines
which tinvo formed the bone of contention
of the "ousting" movement directed against
New York.
ACCUSES Dlt. McKIBBIN.
"The leader of the movement against the
Union Theological Seminary Is no other
than Dr. William McKlbbln," said the Itev,
Welch this morning. "He Is the presi
dent of the Lane Seminary. Cincinnati. JHe
Is engineering the fight against New York.
It was his presbytery, which started the
present ngltatlon and pent the first overture
to the Genernl Assembly recommending tho
'ousting of tho Presbytery of New York.'
I nm sure you get the slgnlflgance of that,
"Another point whi is strange is this
no attempt has ever been made to ecludef
nny other Presbytery from the 'General As
sembly for licensing young men from Union;
who do not confess certain of the "beliefs
of the Presbyterian Church," added Mr.
Welch with spirit.
"I know 31 Presbyteries which have li
censed men to preach, who have been
gratuated from tho Union Theological
Seminary. Brooklyn has ordained 10,
Newark 4, Long Island 15,. Morris anfl
Ornnso 4 and Nassau several. These I can
mention offhand; yet there Is no action
taken against any of these Presbyteries.
Why? That Is the question which can be
answered by the fact that It Is Doctor Mc
Klbbln who heads the fight on the Presby
tery of New York,
"LANK WANTS THE MONEY,"
"He wants the money which Union Theo
logical Seminary has," added Doctor Welclv
"That Is why he wants action taken on th
New York Presbytery. 1 myself, believe In
tho virgin birth, and all the doctrines of the
Church. But I feel that there Is ft Bplrlt
of covetousiicss which governs tha attitude
of ihe prosecution of the New York Pres.
bytery, and Ignores the other presbyteries
which are doing the same thing.
"The spirit of covetousneas Is a greater
sin than heresy," said. Dr, Welch. "And It
can not be covered by a verbose claim to
lite pwmiun. w M.v.v, .- -.,
Doctor Welch says he feels Doctor 2Xc
Klbben has Intluenced the Rev Jphn For,
secretary of the American Bible Society,
Nw York, one of the chief agitators
agajnst New York. The Rev. Mr- Fox la
sincere, but misguided, says Doctor Welch.
Dr, Welch Bays the uproar In the Oen.
ral Assembly and the controversies will
avail the contenders nothing JJe pays that
if tin men knew taw, iney wouia reaiue
that the money will never go to any on,,,;
Institution except the Union Theological
Seminary. The money will revert lo Un
