"Mr. Wilson has now rnst off Ihe mnnk. His appeal is now to pure par

to hnve shown the hesitation nnd delay
and incompetency displayed In making
our stiength effective, which vve showed
for over a year after we had llnally

to insist upon tlio maximum efficiency
and upon absolute dlsregnid of all po
litical considerations In speeding up the
war. Let us try to win it nt once; but
let us set ourselves resolutely to win It,
no matter what the cost and no matter
how long It lakes.
Must Tare lllunders
"I hold that It Is neccssaty clearly to
fare the dreadful blunders and worse
than blunders that have been made In
order to avoid repeating them in the
future Hut I ho'd with even greater
tenacltv that It Is our duty to treat
these blunders not In any way as nn
excuse, for failure to do our duty, but
as an additional Incentive to devoting
every ounce of strength we have to win

"If the Administration had used with
moderate efficiency the results of the
lavish generosity of ,''ongro"s our armies
and the Allied ariiiie. would have been
doing last March what they actually
me doing now In October. I trust our
people will Keep well in mind, ns a les
son concerning the mere money cost of
unprepnredness, that the enormous sums
we have had to raise by taxation and
by boi rowing are at the very least twice
ns great as If we had begun to prepare

and without the attendant waste and
extravagance and profiteering, nnd with
the patriotic and businesslike refusal to
consider politics or anything else except
vv inning tho war.
"We should accept no penee not hiifced

excusable In us, and Is a reflection upon
our good faith, to have remained so long
vv Ithout declaring war on Turkey, for
It Is mere hypocrisy to talk of making
the world safe for democracy so long
as we are not at war with Turkey and
have not Insisted upon putting the Turk
out of Kurope and freeing the Armenian
nnd the Syrian of all creeds from his
yoke and giving Palestine to be made a
Jewish State.
Freedom for All Nations
"I would not subject the German or

to lord it over any one else. The true
way to put a stop to Oermany's nbllity

Nine times out of ten this Admlnis
tration has never led the people. The
leadership has been furnished by
olhers, and tho Administration h.iB
been reluctantly forced forward Into
action by criticism against which it
has vlo'ently protested. Rven when.it
has followed this leadership it has
sullenly and sometimes maliciously
sought to punish the men who by
their truth telling have forced it Into
action II was such truth telling' that
forced thr Administration reluctantly
Into the war; It was such truth telling
that forced the Administration to send
our army abroad) It was nurh truth
telllnjr which furred reasonable efficiency
In the War Department: It' was sqch
truth telling which has forced the speed
ing up ef Ihe ship prngrnm, the air
craft program and all the other pro
grams which hare been so lamentably
delayed.
Spies f liven Tree Toot
"The patriotic zeal of the people
was taken ndvantage of to secure legis
lation for the purpose of dealing with
the work of German spies and with
seditious conduct In onr own country.
The laws thus enacted, however, have
been used far less for their legitlmait
purpose than to discourage and "penal
ize any truth-telling by newspapers or
by private individuals about the Ad
ministration. Never before, hiy any
war, has there been such Interference
with freedom of the press and freedom
of speech 'as In this war. The whole
weight of effort has been not against
seditious action, but against that legiti
mate criticism of public measures unu
pub'le, servants which is absolutely In
dispensable if any country la to remain
free In fact as well as in name. Ac
cording to a former chief of the Secret
Service, there are a quarter nf a million
German spit In this country, and a
Democratic Senator, Mr. Overman, Is
i-rnnrted a maklna the figures even
larger. Only an infinitesimal number
nf these men have been really' pun
ished. But the loyal press has been
bullied and cowed as never osiore,
The test Insisted upon has been not
loyalty to our allies apd hostility to wer
many, but adherence to the Adminis
tration. It Is utterly Impossible to ao
count on any other ground for the Im
munity granted the so-calld Hearst
papers, when compared with the extreme
severity with which many other papers
were treated for conduct which
amounted to nothing whatever, but en
tirely legitimate, criticism of wrong ac
tion or of failure to aet properly by the
Administration,
Information Was withheld
"'The Democratic slogan of 1916,

disclosures and other evidences of Prus
sian Intrigue and Insolence, subsequently
given to the public, show the trne facts
of onr relations with Germany as far

This concealment of facts showing the
fixed nnd sinister purposes of Germnny
and the failure for more than two ytnrs
to make adequate preparation im
measurably Increases the price In blood
and money vve must now pay for victory.
This is the sound doctrine to which nil
good Americans should subscribe.
"When II comes to the peace nrgolla'
tlons we should emphntleal'.v repudiate
the famous fourteen points announced
by the President last .tannery. One of
them he has himself repudiated, but the
remainder are either so mischievous thai
they ought to be repudiated without
further definition or else we should insist
upon having them defined In order to
know Just exactly what they mean. They
have been greeted with enthusiasm by
Germany and by all the pro-Get mans on
this side of the water, especially by the
Germanized Socialists and by the Bol
shevist? of every grade ;, and for Ihls
reason good Americans should regard
them with suspicion. For example, the
statement about the freedom of the seas
may he Interpreted ns meaning what
Germany contends, and If so'no patriotic.
American can support It. The first need
In freeing the sens Is to free them from
the German practice of mutdcr of In
nocent women nnd children,
IVotitd Make IT, M, a Dump
t"Agaln, we ought to know Just what
the Pres'denl means when he speaks ot
breaking dovyn economic harriers. If
he menns that he proposes to allow Ger
mnny tn dump her manufactures on us
without restriction vve ought to he
against II, mid neither huslfiessinn..
nor wnrklngman can afford tn accept It,
Wo ought to Insist on keeping in our
hnnds the complete tight to handle our
tariff as the vital interests of our own
citizens and especially our own working
men demand. If these two points mean
anything they mean that the seas tire
to be free for our enemies' use In- lime
of war and our home markets free for
our enemies' trade In time of peace.
"Again, If the President's language
means tiny-thing, one ot these fourteen
points Is a proposal to guarantee that
every nation shall reduce Its armament
to a point sufficient to preserve domestic
order. If this language Is tn be taken
according In Its necessary meaning,
America would be obliged tn scrap Its
navy and reduce Its army- tn a police
force rupnhle only of putting down riot,
and would have to trust to n lengue of
nations for protecting It against out
side nggresslnn..
nther tho President's language mean
this or It means nothing. But If It
means Ihls every hlgh-mlnded and fnr
sighted pntriotlc American citizen Should
be against the proposal. According to
what Is contained in the President's
fourtf eu points, under this proposal Ger
many, Austria, Turkey and Rnssla
would, as part of the league of nutlons,
have the say-so ns to Anierlcn's future,
and America would have nothing but
small police force with which to protect
its own right.
Internationalism Danger
"It Is hard for me to speak patiently
of such a proposition. If it were made
hy any one except the President It would
he considered ns foolish as tho wildest
folly uttered by tho professional paci
fists prior to the occurrence of this great
war. The conduct of the Powers above
named shows that whenever It was to
their interest they vyould treat any
agreement they made with us aa n scrap
of paper. The simple fact Is that no
league of nations or any other schemu
of that kind should be accepted as' any
thing but an nddltlon to, nnd never as
a substitute for, the development for our
own defense of our own strength nnd Its
preparedness In advnnce. International
ism Is a curse If It Is sought tn make It
us a substitute fnr natlonn'lsm, We
have to be good Americans first before
wo can be good citizens of the world ;
we must behave justly to nil other
nations, but we must remember in the
first place our duty to our own wives
and children and to the generations that
are to come after us in this fair and
mighty land. There are plenty of ques
tions, such ns our territorial' Integrity,
our right to control immigration, our
right to establish our own, tariff policy
and the like, which I trust we will never
surrender to the safekeeping of any
league of other nations.
"Remember one or two obvious fads,
my friends. Remember that In Asia
there are about ten times as manv peo
ple ns there are In the United States.
If the league of nations means anything,
and If Internatlnnallsm Is substituted
for nationalism, this means that the
Asiatics In such a league would have
ten sotes for every American vole, and
that they would have tho right to decide
such questions as the admission of un
checked Asiatic Immigration to the
United Stales and of the refusal to
permit us to build up any barriers ror
the keeping up of the standard of our
people and our distinctive American na
tionality nnd American social and In
dustrial life, '
"Whoever advocates the submerging
of nationality tn Internationalism Is
either 'hypocritical or else he advocates
Just precisely and exactly what I have
above outlined. With all my heart and
soul 1 adlure our people not to be fooled
by fine phrases and glittering generali
ties, but to Insist on facing facts ns they
actually are, Jf they do so they will put
nationalism In the first place and accent

AS VIEWED BY PRESS
New Vork, Oct. 2D, -No extended edi
torial comment was made by the morn
ing; papers on Roosevelt's address, lait
night at Carnegie Hall. Tho Times and
Herald did not comment on the speeeh.
Rxcerpls fiom editorial opinions follow:
New York Sun:
"Theodore Roosevelt defined with ab
solute precision the meaning of Presi
dent Wilson's phrase 'the leaders of the
minority, although unquestionably pro
war, have been antl-Admlnlstratlon,'
Colonel Roosevelt said:
" 'The entire offence of the Republican
leaders In Mr. Wilson's eves is that they
have demanded ,that ernr.tency, waste
nnd extravagance be remedied. Such a
demand he treats as "nnll-Admlntstra-tloti."
In other words, the attitude which
pattiotlo people regard an pro-United
States he regards as antl-Admlnlstratlon.'
"Nobody else hns exposed with greater
clearness or more convincing particular
ity the exact significance of Woodrovv
Wllson's words than did Theodore Roose
velt In these unimpeachable sentences;
and few Americans, tortured though
thousands of them nre by their con
sciences, have the courage Theodore
Roosevelt displayed at thli time in utter
ing these unassailable truths."
New York Tribune:
"Colonel Roossvelt's Carnegie Hall
speech last night will stand as the most
terrific -arraignment of a President by
an ex-President In all the literature of
American politics. The President in
vited it. His friends and tupporters mav
protest ns they will. Such a. challenge as
Mr. Wilson offered to the Republican
party was- not llkelv to go unanswered,
nor to be answered In anv other wav,
"In making this (Wilson's) appeal,
which partook of the chnracter of a de
mand, he offended democracy to Its
quick. What he himself could not en
dure, and denounced, wan tho Implica
tion of the Republican party leaders that
he could not be trusted to conduct the
war and conclude a peace without crit
ical counsel and suggestion."
New York Vt'orld:
"While 'the World regrets that Mr.
Wilson In person ever assumed the task
of asking the people to choose a Con
gress In sympathy with his leadership.
It was a word needing to be said, and so
said that it would arrett attention. His
letter has at least had tlilseffeet: that
whispered calumnies are replaced by free
discussion, and men who had no thought
of 'adjourning politics' for the war are
forced Into the open
"Of this change Theodore Roosevelt
furnishes nn Impressive example. Yet
his set speech !a't night IS for him con
spicuous by its moderation. Maneuvered
out from abuse of a man to praise of
a party, this champion of the strenuous
produces merely the typical party man's
argument, distinguished less by its
strength than by iti' length."
WILSON APPEAL ON SCREEN
"Movie" Got Partisan Propaganda
in Advance of Publication
Trenton, Oct. 23. Calling attenllon to
the fact that motion pictures through
out New Jersey, nnd probnhly through
nut the country, had alreadv been sup
plied by the Democratic national com
mittee with slides depicting President
Wilson's appeal for a Democratic Con
gress, nnd excerpts lrom It, Republican
State Chairman Newton A. K. Bugbee
'declared today that proof was at hand
showing tho Presidential statement to
be a part of a prearranged partisan plan
to keep the Democratic party in control
In Congress. Mr. Bugbee says the slides
appeared simultaneously with the publi
cation of the President's letter. Some
of them, he said, "show evidence of a
knowledge of the contents nf the Presi
dent's letter and statement. For Instance,
one contains the catch phrase, 'unity of
action Is as essential now In Washington
as unity of command Is In France.' This
particular Hllde also contnlns a picture
of Ihe President nnd a picture of some
soldiers In tho trenches In France. It Is
about as bald nn attempt to make pir
tlsan capital out of the war and tn piny
on tho heartstrings of the American
public, with sons and brothers abroad,
as I have ever seen."

JOHNSON ATTACKS WILSON
Senator Snys Appeal for Demo
cratic Ccfigrcss Is Indefensible
Wnn Pranrlsen, Oct. 20. (By I. N. S.)
Bitter denunciation of President Wil
son's recent appeal for the election of a
Democratic Congress In November was
voiced here, today by Senator Hit km
Johnson. The appeal, he said, was a
demand on the part of the President for
blind allegiance to a man,.
"President 'Wilson." said Senator
Johnson, "saw in Republicans those fit
to float Liberty Loans and to die on the
battlefield for their country, but ns unfit
to !t In the nation's councils.
"The statement Is unwarranted and
Indefensible. It substitutes for patriot
ism and loyalty to the republic servile
sUhsevience to a man. It would not
only destroy a political party pledged
to the war and dedicated, but worse. It
would destroy the popular branch of our
Government. If Congress were to he
come what the President demands his
mere servant registering In blind obedi
ence his will, democracy Is at an end."

LIBERTY LOAN OVER THE TOP
Fourth Subscriptions Likely to
Reach $6,500,000,000
By the United Press
Washington, Oct. 29. Indications hers
today were that the total for the 'fourth
Liberty Loan would reach $6,5.00,000,000.
Basing their calculations on reports
from banks throughout the country, to
gether with official figures from most
States, officials said an oversubscription
to the great loan of $500,000,000 prob
ably hnd been made. Every Federal Re
servo district has 'Its quota "In sight"
on official figures, while hundreds of
thousands of dollars continue to. pour In,
To exceed nn oversubscription of $600,
000,000 there must be an average over
subscription In the .twelve reserve dis
tricts of $45,000,000. Few of the dis
tricts will 'not have a larger figure than
that It waB asserted. Chicago, It was
believed, would have $100,0000,0000 over
her quota nnd New York Is expected to
show $90,000,000 over.
