The events of the past year and! a half have shown that a Republi-j can Congress is necessary, the for mer President r.aid, "to support the' administration at every point where' it acts vigorously in prosecuting the! war, and to suf>ply its deficiencies in. | the prosecuticn of the war in the' I carrying out of a proper world pol- 1 I ley." ' "This country needs," the Colonel' ■ declared, "a Congress which will! 1 give the administration this kind of I vigorous support, and yet will tear-! lessly supervise and when necessary investigate what is being done. | "Since the war began the Repub licans in Congress have acted as a spirit of the largest patriotism, and! wholly without regard to questional ,of politics. For the administration! measures designed for efficiently j tarrying on the war they have fur-| nished a larger percentage of sup t port than have the Democrats; and i ! where the administration was wrong| I the bulk of Republicans ventured j to withstand it and have stood byl i the country, whereas the bulk of the' | Democrats have not done so; ml - 'here have been some con-| j spicuous and honorable exceptions, i j "It is only by such conduct that, : we can win the war and secure the I right kind of peace. The need in! i Congress is for loyal Americans, far-1 ! sighted, strong-willed, resolute, who i shall represent the people of this country, and who stall stand stead-1 > lastly by the nation as a whole." j Defines Right Kind of Peace The right kind of peace, the peace] j which America must insist upon,! ' Colonel Roosevelt said, was "a peace,' ; conditioned upon the complete] overthrow of Germany and the re-i ; moval of all threat of German world' ' | dominion." In fighting against (lis-! ; loyalty in America, against all for-i ; eign racial, solidarity in this country, | he declared,'"we must treat agita-l j tion for a premature or inconclusive' .peace as trefason to the republic."!' The German spy, the "alien here at home," and "the even fouler! | and more despicable native Amer-j i ican who serves the alien," the Colo nel said, should be interned at hard , labor, or. if caught in a flagrant of- . fense, should be shot. Alluding to "a most gallant Amer-j f ican army" across the seas, and to;, ship and airplane production, the' ; Colottel said that "we owe much of i , this achievement to the work of the' f Senate committee on military af-jj fairs, and we owe even more to the, success of the German drive which t beg in in March. "We have played a poor part in: the early stages of the world war," 1 f the t'olonel continued. "Let us makej r the finishing of the war an American: task. By this time next, year we it ought to have overseas an army as 1 r great as the combined armies of f France and England, an army of c between 3.000,000 and 4,000,000; t fighting soldiers on the various fight- ;1 ing fronts and this, considering re-: placements and noncombatants,' c means at least 6,000,000 men. ' t Urges War on Turks r "Congress should refuse assent to', the War Department's present poli-i cy of procrastination, in deferring j the necessary extension of the age!, limits for the draft, and in other! ways. There should be no further delay. Besides enormously strength-, J ening our army in France we should by this time have declared war on Turkey and have sent 100.000 sol- diers to aid our Allies in Western . Asia. We have had to use Fnglish ] ships to ferry our troops across the! 1 Atlantic and we could use Japanese " ships to ferry them across the Paei- 1 He. . I "There must be no peace until Ger- I, many is beaten to her knees. *fo ' leave her with a strangle-hold on' ■ Russia, and through her vassal allies.! Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, dom-i inent in Central Europe and Asia:. Minor, would mean that she had won. the war and taken a great stride toward world dominion." 1 , Belgium must be reinstated and 1 reimbursed, France receive Alsace, j t Turkey driven from Europe, the; s Colonel said. Italian-Austria must go to Italy and Rumanian-Hungary to j Russia, and Armenia must be free,! the Jews given Palestine and the! r Syrian christians be protected, with | the Poles and other Slav races re-' leased from the menace of the Ger-' man sword. "Unless we do all this," i J he declared, "we shall have failed; in making the liberty of well-behav-l r ed civilized people secure, and we 1 8 shall have shown that our announce ment about making the world safe; 1 for democracy was an empty boast."' Strong .Men Necessary "These are the tasks set us as re-j gards winn'ng the war and ending: the war." he continued. "Therefore j the elected this fall shall not only be absolutely loyal but possessed i of broad \ision sound common j | sense, high character and unyielding j resolution; for they must grapple; with tremendous International ques- j ' tions. A timid man, a half-hearted ! i pacifist or a foolish visionary mayj . do as incalculable harm as the de- 1 ' magogue or conscienceless political | trackster. And of course no dlsloy-1 t al man and woman of merely luke- j ( warm loyalty should be chosen, no matter what the ticket on which hej ' runs." j t Looking forward to "the giant task of peace," Colonel Roosevelt said there must be universal obliga tory military training. "Such train ing." he declared, "would instill into our people a fervent and intense Americanism which would forever free us from the menace of Bolshe vism and all its American variety, from the frank homicidal march of the I. W. W. to the sinister anti- Americanism of the Germanized so cialistic party." Decries Government Ownership While there will be peculiar need for supervision of big business after the war, the Colonel said, busine-ss men should be permitted to co-oper ate and combine, and business should not be penalized merely because of its size. Government ownership .should be avoided wherever possible, he declared. The Colonel concluded | his address by discussing briefly his ! politics urging Federal suffrage for j women, better conditions for lubor : ing men,more industrial reward and | benefit for farmers and kindred re forms which he said were certain to | < onfrant the nation wit lithe dawn of i peace. FRENCH LAUNCH GREATEST ATTACK [Continued from First Page.] sive on the Rheims sector to a j halt immediately." I The French have reached a | point menacing the most im j portant German railway centers which feeds the entire front west |of Rheims. The French artillery 1 now is within easy shelling dis- I tancc of tTicse railways and ' should he able to make life | miserable for a large section of the German army. At Old Lines Military men attach great im-j portance to the lateral railway: lines around Soissons and say that if General Foch can get his military into position to keep, these lines out of action he will make the movement of the Ger man supplies in the whole sec tor between Rheims and Chateau | Thierry impossible. On the extreme east of the re- j cent (ierman offensive the! French have reoccupied their old lines for a distance of three or j four miles. Paris, July 18.—The French this j mo.-jiing delivered an attack along; the line from the river Aisne as far I south as the region of Belleau, a| front of about 2d miles, and made i progress at certain points of between I a mile and a half and two miles, the I war office announced to-day. The situation on the Marne and Cham paign fronts is unchanged. Early In the movement prisoners take in the advance began com ing 'in. The northern point of the front of attack is Fontenow. nearly a mile north of the river Aisne. In the fighting on the front of the German offensive, the French last night stopped the Germans in the face of violent attacks which the enemy launched, southwest of Nan teuil-la-Fosse, between the Marne and Rheims. On the front beyond Rheims. east of the Vesle river, an attack by German guard units was completely repulsed. French Make Progress London, July 18.—News received in London indicates the attack start ed by the French this morning on the front between Chateau Thierry and Soissons is on a considerable scale. The attack was believed to be making good progress. Advices this afternoon said the Germans made no further attacks east of Rheims and that the French at various points on the front had regained ground. The French, the report.states have recaptured Montvoison. south of the Marne, at the point where the Ger mans had advanced furthest toward Epernay and Chene-la-Reine, to the west, and took as well the heights west of those villages, overlooking the Marne. The Germans are reported to have made slight progress north of St. Agnan, in the district to the south west of Dormar.s. below the Marne, tut their progress here has been slow. The maximum penetration ; of the French lines since July 15 is six miles, according to the latest re ports. I.ondon.

HATIRISTttJRG TELEGRAPH INSPECTION PARTY FINDS BAD CONDITION [Continued from First I'ago.] las a whole Harrisburg people well ! may be proud o ftheir city. I But there are sorespots that must I be healed; there is evil that must be 1 corrected. There are districts in Harrisburg, where living conditions are bud beyond description. Bad is too mild an adjective; horrible is the term. Or. Kami irk ns Escort Yesterday Dr. Kaunick, city health officer, who has been urging for I years the adoption of a model hous ' ing code, accompanied a Telegraph representative it-rough several of i the worst localities. What they saw fairly sickened the little party. I The found rooms without win ; dows. halls that never see the light of day. cellars full of water, houses ! without cellars, families housed in one and two tiny rooms unfit for human habitation, sewers that have been stopped up tpr wctks, build ings made largely of scraps of wood and tin gathered from the public i dumps, whole groups:©f houses with : only an outside hydrant and no run i ning water inside; "apartments" over stables and over garages in j which gasoline is stored, and filth .beyond description. The party found families with ; fairly good incomes living in sur j roundings that by comparison would makf Hogan's Alley look like a Paris boulevard; not that all of! jthem want to live that way, but be cause they are comparative new comers and can find no houses in I Harrisburg for rent within their | means. Rents for these shacks are jas high as they ought to be for| I good houses, in many cases, and one ' 'of the evils encountered in this re spect is subleasing, the owner per-j jmitting an agent to lease the build | ing for a reasonable sum and then l renting it out by the room at figures i beyond belief. Ten dollars a month' ■ for a single room with one window.! j no light, no water and onlv outside) toilet, is not the highest rental en- i I countered by any manner of means. ! Xear Heart of Town The first stop was made in Cow-! den street, just north of Strawberry. | where there are several run-down disreputable appearing "apartment" I houses. An intelligent colored man I who said he had resided in the Eighth ward for many years, told I the investigators that he lived on the top floor of No. 16 Cowden I street, which is an attic room with 1 sloping roof ventilated with one small window. "I pay $lO a month 1 for my room, with a bed, a bureau and a chair thrown in," he explained. "The place is dirty and unfit for human habitation, but I have no place else to go. I eat rav meals with the family for whom T work. I < )thers who live in even worse rooms> than I, without air in summer or neat in winter, do their cooking in their rooms on oil stoves. Ten dol-l lars for a single room of the kind is pretty high; don't you think so? The house is owned by a Steelton man and sublet by a woman who' lives in Steelton." The same man pijoted the inspec tors to Strawberry street, just around the corner, where i onditions are even worse. These buildings are old and reconstructed so as to give a maximum number of rooms with out regard to light, air or privacy. A family may have as many rooms as it can afford. Here the health officers were shown toilets that had been stopped up for several weeks and water in cellars that reached at times halfway from floor to ceil ing. The place was like a pigpen, although the interiors of some of the rooms showed efforts on the part of the colored people who live there to keep them as clean as the sur roundings will permit. The apart ments are dark and dingv and the halls without light. The steps are narrow and shaky and glass in the few windows that exists is in many cases smashed. "Rotten." said Or. Raunick. as he inspected conditions, "but much better than when we got after them six months ago." Many families live in these houses under conditions bound to result in disease, immorality and crime of all sorts. In Capitol Street Strange as it may seem, one of the worst housing conditions in the city exists in Capitol street right in the heart of a district surrounded by fine types of houses occupied by prosperous people who have com plained again and again with no re sults against a continuance of the nuisance. The four-story brick house at 802 Capitol street has been transformed into what its owner designates as an "apartment house." It looks as though it might be a relic of the San Francisco earthquake so far as the interior is concerned. It was once a high-class residence. It is well built and capable of being trans formed into a really desirable dwell ing place. At present it is unsani tary, dark, filthy and run on the basis of the most profit for the least outlay. The plaster is dropping from the walls, the floors of the halls are grimy, the backyard is a Utter of plaster-covered bricks and pools of stagnant water and there is no light within at night save that which leaks in from far-off street lamps. Whole families live in one room each and they use a common kitchen In the basement. The garbage must be carried out through the build ing. because the thrifty owner has erected a garage across the whole of the rear yard. And for these palatial quarters the renters are charged as much as $lO each per month per room, although a few apartments" may be had fo rless. Severar hundred dollars judiciously expended ,woold transform the place. Conditions are so bad here that even with houses as few as at present not all the "apartments" are filled. Two old tumble-down houses next door are even in worse condition. They will fall down shortly if they are not torn away. Another "Apartment" House Army Auxiliaries Play Great Part In Halting German Drive Carrier Pigeons Bear Messages Advising Staff of Enemy Movements; Huns Hurled Against Fire of Machine Guns By Associated Press On the French Front In France, July 18.—One of the principal ele ments which worked toward bring ing the German offensive to a halt was the splendid co-operation of the transport and information serv ices. In Champagne, lorry drivers passed four days and nights without a moment's repose In hurrying troops from one section of the line to another, wherever most needed, and conveying tens of thousands of men, often under heavy Are. The role of the carrier pigeon proved most Important in the Cham pagne fighting where the French ad vance posts were cften cut off from the main body ai d possessed only this means of roa municating.

Wednesday, July 17. —1n stirring phrases, imploring them to stand firm. General H. J. E. Gauraud, In command of the French and Ameri can •■oops east of Rhelms and in Champagne, appealed to his men before the German offensive began. In an order issued to his soldiers, he said: , "We may be attacked at any mo ment. You all feel that a defensive battle never has been engaged in under more favorable conditions. You were warned and are on guard with powerful reinforcements of in fantry and artillery. You will fight on the ground you have transformed by your hard work into redoubtable fortresses which are invincible if the passages are properly guarded. "The bombardment Will be ter rible, but you will stand it without weakening. The assault will be vio lent, i clouds of smoke, dust, gas,. but your position and armament are j formidable. Urges But One Thoußht "In your breasts beat free men's brave, strong hearts. Nobody will look behind nor recede a pace. Each of you will have one thought—to kill" and kill many until they cry enough. "For this reason your general says you will break this assault, and it will be broken gloriously." Conditions in Hay alley back of the Verbeke street markethouse are greatly improved as a result of health department efforts and also because one of the "apartment houses" of that district fell down last winter and the tenants perforce had to move out. The inspectors found a force of workmen trying to put this old three-story structure hack into shape for habitation. How it ever got past the building inspec tor nobody knows. The walls are bulging and there is a great gap in the wall on one side. The work men pottered about timidly, fearing the thing would collapse on them while making repairs. "What do they intend to do with that?" asked Dr. Raunick. "Make an apartment house out of it," said a nearby resident. "Looks pretty bad," said the Doc tor. "Yes," was the reply, "but Great Guns you ought to see the inside." The inspectors declined to inves tigate further. This structure bears a stone in the front wall reading "John Usau. M. D.. Built A. D., 1881." Over Stables Rapidly running through the bad quarter along Capitol and Marion streets north of Verbeke street the worst conditions were found in the rear of 1419 an 1 1421 Marion street, where four "apartments," renting at $4 a month each and each consist ing of one room occupied by one family, had been constructed over a horse stahle. These are approached by an outside gallery, rickety and unsafe, to which shaky steps lead up. They have little light but plenty of air—both from the stable below and through the numerous cracks. There are no chimneys and one toilet. A single outside hydrant supplies water for these and nearby houses. The "apartments" are scarcely fit for chicken coops and not much larger. In case of tire the occupants would be caugjit like rats in a trap. Another "apartment house" at 1419 Capitol street is of much bet ter variety and has electric light in the halls. It is fairly clean but the sewers are badly constructed and out of order most of the winter, while a barrel of oil stored in the vestibule has soaked the floor and invites fire. Kooms rent from $7 to $9 a month, without heat or light. The old Seventh ward deserves a whole chapter of its own. Here the houses were for the most part owned or rented by self-respecting, prosperous people k'&fore the re moval of the old Eighth ward shacks caused an influx of people from that district. Quite a few very good houses still exist and there are many fine people scattered through out this whole district who resent the slum conditions being forced into their neighborhoods. These conditions are especially bad in the lower part where property owners have been compelled to sacrifice their homes and get out or put up with a state of affairs that is well nigh intolerable. It is pitiable to see the effort many of those who have remained try to make to have their homes attractive while grasp ing landlords on all sides huddle many families into one house and let the dwellings go to pot. In Sayford street one property in the rear of a store room has been reconstructed and enlarged by the addition of flimsily constructed little rooms made largely of material that looks as though it had been gath ered from dumps and here whole families are quartered at $8 to $lO a month for two to three rooms. The roofs leak so that tubs have to be kept in constant readiness, the plaster is dropping off and the walls lack paper. Children are sick con stantly here, and little wonder. "I'm ready to go elsewhere if I can find a place I can afford," said one of the men coming home for dinner. Outside drainage conditions are ter rible and the whole situation |t enough to turn even a good think ing citizen into a criminal or an anarchist. These are Vut samples. There are scores and hundreds as bad and worse. cerning the movements of the Ger mans. Aim Spares Comrades In one instance a pigeon brought a request that the Krench artillery open fire on a position occupied by their own comrades, because the Germans were surrounding them in dense masses. The gunners com plied. mowing lanes In the German waves. Their wonderful accuracy of aim spared their comrades, manv of whom afterward were able to make their way back. The admittedly enormous losses of the Germans during the crossing of the Marne must have been fully equaled in the Champagne sector, where their assaulting waves hurled themselves vainly against dee*, bar riers of barbed wire under the Are ol hundreds oXjnaciUn**una, WAR SHARES SPURT IN EARLY MARKET NEW YORK STOCKS Chandler Brothers and Company, members of New York and Philadel phia Stock Exchanges— 3 North Mar ket Square, Harrisburg; 336 Chestnut street, Philadelphia: 34 Pine street- New York—furnish the following Open.
