STONE FLAYED BYJROOSEVELT [Continued from First Page.] he Is all American. Thtjre i - no Buch thing now as an American with some alloy In him. Either he is straight United or ho is not United States at all. if he is r.ot anti-German he cannot be pro- American. If he is not in favor of rutting this war through to the peace of complete victory he Is not a loyal American. The two men whom at the moment we should hold in special suspicion are the iner. who, however loud their protesta tions of devotion in this country; nevertheless hint, or directly or in directly advocate, an inconclusive peace, or who In any way object to the quick efficiency in putting the >var through. "The man wlio endeavors to make you not formidable to Germany is endeavoring to make the United States false to itself, and at the same time, to make it incur the contemp t uons hostility of Germany. "Do not forget that ihe surest way io win the respect of foe as well as of friend is to show that this country really fights when it gets! into a fight. .v. : , Don't Hit "Soft" "Our' rule should be the same for; the nation as for the individual. Do | not get into a light if you possibly can avoid it. If you get tn, see it! through. Don't hit if it is honorably | possible to avoid hitting, but never • hit soft. (Applause.) No man is' grateful to you if you hit him just a 1 little. On the contrary, his anger at J your hitting him is merely increased i by his contempt for your not hurt-! 'n< him. Don't hit at all if you can help it; don't hit a man if you can 1 liaiiorably avoid it, but if you do hit him. put him to sleep! (Cheers). "No man can be an American if lie i> not patriotic through and through; I flnd at this time a man's patriotism! .--hould be absolute and in all of our j public acts it should mean an utter! disregard of partisan politics. No I public servant and no private man i-i his public relation, in his public ac tions. has any business at this time to consider partisan politics in any way. [Applause.] Patriotism must! exclude all questions of partisanship. It is our duty to support everv offi cial fro mthe highest to the lowest! iust so long as that official does well j and to the extent that he does well in making more efficient this gov-! eminent and in speeding up the! work of the war; and it is no lessj our duty, or perhaps I should change! that and say it is only less our duty to expose ineffiiciency wherever it] is found; to expose it in order to! speed up the war and make the war ! more effective, and, therefore to op- ■ pose every official no matter where j lie is, who by deeds of omission or, < 0111 mission in any way falls short In his duty to speed up the war and to make the strength of the United! Stales as quickly as possible and as i fficicntly as possibly felt in the great | conflict.

I 19 & 21 N. 4th St. f nwimuimMun,f FRIDAY EVENING, ' HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY' 25, 1918. I my cwn views as to the duty of Con ! cress to investigate, not in my own ' words, but in the words of another. j 1 quote: ' 'l'nless Congrc-" have and use I every means of acquainting itself " i with the acts and disposition of the a j administrative agents C the govern ment the country must be helpless i to learn how it Is being served, and ■ j unless Congress both scrutinize these t things and sift them by every form . i of discussion the country must re main in embarrassing and crippling - i ignorance of every force which It is f most important that it should un derstand and direct. The informing 'i function of Congress should be pre i ferred even to its legislative func- , 1 tion." Stress Congressional Function 'I "I want you to especially remem-l l | ber that— " 'The Informing function of Con gress should lie especially preferred even to Its legislative function. The ] . argument is not only that the dis-1 J cussed and interrogated administra-j tjon is the only pure and ad ministration, but more "tlian that,' . that the only well-governing people | is that people which discusses and i interrogates its administration/ "This quotation which I have given , '! you admirably sets forth the duty of! Congress ot' all times, and especially at such a time as this. It is from a j work on congressional government by the then Professor Woodrow Wil- ! son. (Applause.) It is the principle j upon which I shall act and upon j which 1 hope every upright and i .faithful servant of the people in Congress will act. "In the two houses of Congress j during the year that is just closing i j— the year that opened with the I I sending of Germany's note of Jaifu- I . ary 31 last, which was, in effect, a [declaration of war against the Unit -1 ed States—there has been a fine dis ! regard of partisanship among the ' members of all parties taken as a j whole in Congress. There has been | almost no attempt to hamper the prosecution of the war by injecting | partisanship or making party j harangue. This has been the rule. Stone Exception to Rule j "The most conspicuous exception was furnished the other day by Sen : ator Stone, of Missouri, when Sena- I tor Stone made a strong partisan j speech, but the partisanship was the ! least offensive portion of his speech, j It was also a mendacious speech, but j the mendacity was not the most of • fensive portion of the speech, which j was, perhaps, not wholly uncliarac | teristic. "The really offensive portion of the speech was that it was' an at tack oil the Interest of the United ; States, and. therefore, an insidious effort on behalf of Germany. "This is the same Senator Stone I who a year from last fall was en | gaged in defending himself from the ! revelations of Bernard Kidder as to j his (Mr. Stone's) negotiations for I the German vote and his effort to : persuade the Germans that he (Sen i ator Stone) was speaking with au -1 thority when he said that the gov i ernnient would only make believe to jbe against them, but would really | lie for them. This is the same Sen- j ; ator Stone who voted against the I declaration of war last year, lie is j the same Senator Stone who engaged i jin filibustering operations against j our taking action to defend our- j selves, filibustering operations of the j kind which drew public rebuke to I those engaged in tlicni from the ! President of the United States. Accused of Aiding Germany I "Senator Stone did all he could • to serve Germany against the Unit i ed States by preventing the entry . of the United States into the war against Germany, and he now does > all he can to serve Germany against ' the United States by endeavoring to > prevent the United States from be coming efficient in the war against < Germany. , "The worst offense that can be i committed is untruthfully to assail an efficient public servant. Next in , evil-doing comes the offense of the ! man who untruthfully defends an ' inefficient public servant from ha\ k . ing his inefficiency exposed. "I care not a snap of my finger ■ for the politics of the man who Is doing good work at this time. It Is for that reason that I Jiave support ed and shall continue to support, to I the very best of my ability, Senator 1 1 Chamberlain and his associates (ap- I j plause) in the committee who have 'been conducting the investigation ! into the 'management, administra tion and the maladministration of the War Department. I have follow ed particularly the actions of the 'I senatorial committee. I do not be -1 lieve that any of its members on any I side have been influenced in the | smallest degree of partisanship. "Hitherto there has been no di j vision in the committee along party ! lines and every possible proof has been given by the Individuals com posing that committee that they are ! actuated by <x sincere and single ' minded purpose to serve the cotin- I try in this war by finding out and I telling the truth, not with the ob- I ject of hurting any man, even any j man responsible for grave abuses. | save to the extent that was neces j sary in order to correct those abuses for the future. Heads I'roni Quiz Minutes "As for the worth of these inves tigations, I want to read an extract from the official minutes of the Com mittee on Kules of the House of Representatives at a hearing before the committee in reference to an investigation proposed into the oper ations of the Shipping Board. Mr. Hurley, the chairman of the Ship ping Board, asked to have the in vestigation deferred for the moment. Then he used this language: " 'Of course, I think the Senate investigation has been very helpful. 1 think they have brought out a number of things that have not only helped to satisfy the public state of mind, but have helped me and help ed the staff. If the House committee should hold a hearing and we should profit as much by the House hear ing as we have by the Senate hear ing it might be a good thing.' "There speaks the public servant who is glad to have the work of his branch of the government Investi gated and who frankly says that the Senate investigating committee has not only helped front the public standpoint, but has helped him and his fellows in doing their work." "Known" Inquiry Is lleneHclal "I. believe—no, f am going toy alter that statement; I am going to put it a.* it should be put: I know that the I Senate investigating committee under . Senator Chamberlain has rendered I the hiKhent service to this countrv. , I do not believe It—l know It. And. gentlemen, you have a rignt to ask that any man who speaks to >on about a duty in the present should have by his actions in tile past | shown that he believes himself in | performing that duty. There are I very few of the older members here ! who may recollect the things I said ( about the Cuban campaign and the | j failures in the administration of the | War Department, of which I was a I part. I spoke when I was assistant i secretary of the Navy. I spoke when ! I was colonel In the Army when I [ was asked to report, with the frank i ness of an open nature. I, as gov ernor of the state of New York. Re- j pubTican governor, [laughter] I spoke | of having been a part of the national [ I administration the year before and I j being, although I did not then know 1 it about to become more intimately I I connected with it as vice-president. | "I spoke of tile Cuban campaigns, j ; That was in November, 1899, a year after the campaign, and a year be- I tore the presidential election I stated j that the artillery had been for thirty i five years unpracticed and was ! worthless. I stated that during that ! | campaign the bureaus of the Wat ! department at Washington had been I held by elderly men of fine records j in the past, absolutely enmeshed in red tape and unable to show initi- I ative or accept responsibility. I j stated that the campaign itself was a welter of confusion and that we were saved from disaster only by the incompetency of our foes. I stated that to send our army under such conditions against a well-led, well handled, well-prepared foe would in evitably have invited disaster. "I should like any man to point any difference in frankness between what I then said of the administra tion of which I was a part, of the party to which I belonged, and what I said during the last six months, except that I have been more mod erate and guarded in the last six months. [Laughter.] "I said in my reports at the time when I was under the War DepaYt ment that the trousers and drawers given the soldiers were worthless. I said that because It was true, not to harm anybody, but because it was the truth. When I point out that our men abroad and who have to a large extent been shoeless now, I say it because it is true. I speak of the shortage of shoes now just as I spoke in 1898 as to the shortage of proper clothing for the men, because it is true and because if- an unpleasant truth is not told it will not be reme died. That is the only reason I spoke in 1898 and it fs the reason I speak now. I'arnllel* Criticism "r spoke of the utter disorganiza tion of the field hospitals, of their complete breakdown. 1 spoke of it at the time in an official army report in connection with the army in Cuba. I said it not to hurt any one, but be cause It was true, and in the same way I speak of the conditions that have led to the outbreaks of spinal meningitis and the outbreaks of pneumonia, of which the most dis tinguished victim has been ex-Con gressman Augustus Gardner. I speak of that now because it Is true. I spoke the truth then in order to rem edy the conditions. I speak the*truth now in order to remedy the condi tions and for no other purpose, [ap piausej and exactly as no fear of what might happen to me personally or politically, because 1 tell the truth about my own administration, influ enced me then, in the same way Mr. Stone's hints as to the awful things that may he done to me if I K o on, will have less than no effect In mak ing me refrain from speaking that minimum of truth which I think it absolutely necessary to speak in or der to secure a bettermen in condi tions in our Army at home and abroad. Wnnts "Nation Aroused "One of our fraternity, Casper Whitney, published a week ago last Sunday in the New York Tribune a statement as to conditions in France, and that article Is worth our while reading, when you are encountered with the statement that there are shortcomings In our camps here be cause everything his been sent to France. It may have been sent. It did not get there. It has not been distributed. I wish that that article of Casper Whitney's could be circu lated throughout the length and breadth of the land, so as to wake our people to the prime need of doing everything that can possibly be done as soon as it can possibly be done, to adequately equip, arm and train the men who are upholding the honor of the United States In Uncle Sam's uniform. Criticises Secretary Daniels "It is our duty to tell the truth. If conditions arc good, tell the truth. If they are bad. tell the truth.

In the first six months after this war opened the Navy De partment showed poor work—very poor work—owing to indecision and deJay—work so poor' that if we had teen pitted against any formidable enemy able to keep the seas we would have paid in disaster for it. "Dating from about October 1 there has come a remarkable change in the Navy Department. From that date to this, on the whole, the Navy De partment's work has been well done. [Applause.] I say it has been well done since then for exactly the same reason I say it was badly done be fore then, because it is th e truth and because it is important that our peo ple should know the truth. "Having said that the Navy De partment is now doing well, I want to make one small reservation. I wish the Sect-etary of the Navy wouli' no longer punish the men in the Navy by refusing to allow hun dreds of thousands of good women to give them sweaters and knitted 5 mufflers and everything like that ex cept by indirection, because ho ha* had a quarrel with some man. Let him punish that man in any way he chooses, but do not punish the sailors and do not make it unpleasant for the hundreds of thousands, certain*? the scores of thousands, of woman who are patriotically endeavoring to be of service."
