FROM FIRST PAGE and legislative agents of the government at Washington ought of course to lead in the right direction Puts Blame on the People But ultimately we the people have only ourselves to blame if they do not for it la our fault if we permit them to lead us wrong Therefore I wish you to understand that I am putting the blame primarily on us the people on us ourselves although It Is necessary in order to avoid circumlocution that I peak at times by our governmental agents We through our representatives at Washington have absolutely refused in the smallest degree to prepare during these 23 months of world cataclysm We have refused to learn the smallest part of the lesson being written on the scroll of torment In Europe There Is no sign as far as governmental action goes that we have any appreciation of our danger or of the needs of the country No action hae been taken to meet these needs No ao tlon adequately to meet them is even contemplated No Real Opposition It has been announced In vindication of the political wisdom of those declin ing to take such action that thereby they would favorably impress our home pacifists This hope has been only par said the colonel planned to visit Mr Ford at the latters factory Mr Roosevelts Speech In Ms address at the theater CoL Roosevelt said in part I have been very reluctant to make speeches during these weeks immediately preceding the national nominating conventions because It is very difficult to make people understand that speeches at such a time are not of the ordinary political type made in the interest of some particular Individuals candidacy But I Anally determined that I would come here to Michigan to say certain things which I believe should be said at this time What I have to say to you will not be in the interest of any man and least of all of myself It will not refer to the candidacy of any individual It will not refer to the policy of any party save as such party policy may and ought to vitally concern the welfare of the nation My speech wil be devoted exclusively to certain great principles which should be fundamental In this giant democratic commonwealth of ours Wherever I touch on an Individual it will be because I cannot make my mnntner clear save bv sneaklne of In dividuals who embody or typify certain tlally Justified by the result The ultra origin moral treason One of the most sinister developments of the last 22 months has been the fact that a section of the professional German Americans has Joined the pacifists in the effort to keep America helpless while this same section of German Americans Is lauding German militarism to the skies and apologizing for every manifestation of that militarism even when it is ruthlessly used against the welfare of the weak I wish to say a special word to my fellow Americans who are In whole or In part of Greman blood I very heartily admire them I believe In them I understand the difficulties under which they have labored during the last twentytwenty two months I sympathize with I feel for them even although I feel that many of them are not taking the position they ought to take Would Mean Ruin to All I know that what I preach to them Is hard doctrine But I believe it to be a doctrine necessary for them and for all their and my fellow countrymen I do not address them as German AmericansAmericans for I hold that here in the United States ruin will come to the country In which our children and childrens children are to live your children and mine friends If we permit ourselves to be sundered one from the other by the lines either of creed or of national TO REPRESENT CLERKS One Will Vote for Each Group of Fifty in New Union SELECTIONS TO BE MADE SOON DEATH OF MRS MLEAN Ex President General of the A Passes in

late todav She was born iji Frederick JId 57 years ago and cane of distinguished ancesm Burial will be in Frederick next Monda Mrs McLean was brought to the hospital on April 14 from Norfolk Va where she had been visiting her brotherbrother in law Rear Admiral McLean commandant of the Norfolk navy vard Beside being charter member of the National Societ of the Daughters of the American Revolution Mrs McLean was a member of the Colonial Dames of America and a number of other organ laztions During her presidency general from 1905 to 1909 6he brought to practical conclusion the building of Continental Memorial Hall at Washington built entirely by the efforts of women as a memorial to the heroes and heroines of the American Revolution A fund established for lectures on American history in Continental Hall was named the Emily NtUon Ritchie McLean fund movements Comes to Answer Ford I come here to Michigan because In the primary for the selection of delegates to the Republican national con ention Mr Ford was victorious and following on his victory here he showed a marked popular strength In Nebraska and Pennsylvania The effect of this Bhowlng has been Immediately visible upon many of the politicians within and without Congress One of the leading anti preparedness or peace at any pric papers In New York recently commented with great satisfaction upon the defeat in the lower house of Congress of the proposal to increase our regular army to 250000 men This paper stated that originally the proposal was defeated by only 22 otes but when the vote came up again ten days ago it was defeated by 79 votes It continues I condense Of these 221 negative votes 51 were cast by Republicans 49 being from the central West what has come to be known as tho Henry Ford territory These included 6 of the 11 from Michigan a notable change since It was proposed 1r the House Since then Mr Fords large votes in Michigan and Nebraska have been recorded All three Republican representatives from Nebraska were opposed If this is not a pretty clear indication as to prevailing anti militarist temper In the middle West what can be It Is as well refreshing proof that there will be strong forces In both party conventions to throw their Influence against the militarist planks of Mr Roosevelt Must Speak With Frankness This situation makes It advisable to speak with courtesy but with entire frankness of what the euccees of Mr Ford means and Is taken to mean and of the forces that have given Mr Ford his strength It is In Michigan Mr Fords own State where the Ford movement began that I wish to say what I have to say on the subject For Mr Ford personally ieei noi merely friendliness but in many respects a very genuine admiration There is much in the methods and very much in the purposes with which he has conducted his business notably in his relations to his working people that commands my hearty sympathy and resnect Moreover there is always something attractive to an American in tne career of a man who has raised himself from the Industrial ranks until he Is one of the captains of Industry But all that I have thus said can with truth be said of many perhaps of most of the Tories of the revolutionary war and of many or most of the pacifists of the civil war the extremists among whom were popularly known as Copper Heads Believed in Their Cause Many of these Tories and civil war pacifists were men of fine character pacifists as represented by Mr Ford have made their great 6howlng precisely because there has been no real and resolute opposition to them The administration at Washington backed by the majority of Con STfM has taken no step for preparedness and haa done nothing efficient to sustain our national rights It has stood for applied pacifism as far as deeds are concerned There are at this time two great Issues before us both Inseparably bound together They are the issues of Americanism and preparedness As a people we have to decide whether we are to be in good faith a people and able and ready to take care of ourselves or whether we doubt our national unity and fear to prepare and intend instead to trust partly to a merciful Providence and partly to elocutionary ability In high places Those In power at Washington have taken the latter position The followers of Mr Ford In the Republican primaries have taken what is In reality the same position Explanation of Ford Strength A considerable part Of the strength of Mr Ford in the primaries and of the strength of the advocates of half preparednees at Washington comes from the faot that no real alternative of policy Is offered with sincerity and fearlessness Mr Fords supporters in the primaries seemingly come chiefly from three classes the workingmen who believe that he represents the desire to do Justice to them the pacifists who think that a policy of helplessness In the face of other nations will Insure our national safety and the German Amer It la not possible permanently to possess a divided national allegiance If men are not whole hearted in their Americanism if they try to combine loyalty to this land with loyalty to some other land it is Inevitable that to a greater or lesser degree they make the loyalty to another land overshadow their loyalty to this Played Honorable Part Here The men of German blood have always played a high and honorable part In this country In the great crisis ef the civil war they stood with loyal devotion by the Union and against slavery and it Is probably true of them that at that time more generally than those of any other blood they upheld the cause personified by Abraham Lincoln I believe that the great mass of them are at the present day undivided in their loyal devotion to this country I know that our entire national irovernment from President down could be manned with men of fier man birth or descent who Mould he American and nothing elite who would stand for the tnlted State first and for no other nation second A large proportion of my elonest friends of the men In whom I most hellete are Americans of German birth but they are Americans first and last and only Americans I very earnestly wish that some way could be found for repudiating the men whose actions have made it possible for foreigners to write with the insolent belief that they can use our fellow citizens of German birth and descent so that their political Influence may be exerted in such fashion as to make this country helpless to defend itself against Miss Etheridges Suggestion That Women Members Be Chosen

is i4j uci uiAii ui liuui any vmci tjuvri sincere mood of protest and the others under the Influence of that portion of the professional German Americans who have permitted their devotion to Germany finally to make them antagonistic to the welfare of the United States As for the wage workers Who sup port Mr Ford I understand entirely their desire to support any man who in their belief stands for a more substantial measure of social and industrial Justice But I wish with all the emphasis in my power to call their attention to the fact that In order for us to work within our wn borders for social and industrial Justice it is necessary to secure to ourselves the power to determine these questions for ourselves If a nation cannot defend Itself then we may rest assured that sooner or later eome stronger outside power will Impose an alien will upon it and will deprive It of the eay as to how It will determine Its own destinies Pacifists Too Long in Mexico Now as to the pacifists They have told us that if we remain helpless we shall escape all difficulties with other nations and earn their good will Let them ponder on what has happened In Must All Act as Americans and upright purpose who sincerely bo I Mexico today Let them ponder our re IN WIRE TAPPING OONTIMJED rEOM FIRST TKGT mlttee absolved the firm from any connection with the documents taken from the Morgan offices District Attorney Bwann declared after the secret session that he had obtained sufficient evidence to institute proceedings against persons whom he would not name The district attorne alleged that one member of the firm Frederick Seymour admitted that het together with four other men previously reported to have had only desk room in the Seymour offices conducted a munition brokerage business Seymour according to the district attorney admitted that he and his colleagues made money by supplying Information concerning war contracts of the entente allies to munition manufacturers Cable Message in Evidence A cable message alleged to have been remoed from the Morgan offices was introduced in evidence and is now In the possession of the district attorney He claimed that the cablegram was found on the desk of one of Sejmours associates and that the document indicates money was realized from the sale of Morgan 6crets Mr Swann also declared that one of the men claimed to be a representative of the Morgan firm Frederick Seymour denied inputa tons against his business and declared he had handled munition contra ta f0r the Morgan firm He was supported in spiritual suocessors of the Republicans who 20 years ago In Congress voted for all kinds of half measures which they hoped would convince the free silver people that we were to have the unlimited coinage of silver and would his contention by Senator Thompson I convince the other people that we were lations at this moment with Germany and the other great powers engaged In the world war They will then realize the utter futility of their hopes For nearly five years we have followed the principles of the pacificists as re gards Mexico We have not ourselves prepared but we have helped the Mexicans to prepare by furnishing them arms and munitions We have tamely submitted to the murder of our men and the rape of our women The policy of pacifism has been practically applied tn Mexico nnd It has resulted in Incalculable loss of life and property It has gained ns the ntter contempt of the people with whom we dealt and It has brought ns to the verge of war with them Definition of Ultimatum Exactly tho same thing is true as regards Germany For sixteen months we have been employed In sending Germany ultimatum after ultimatum In monotonous succession while Germany In equally monotonous succession sank ship after ship drowning our men women and children by the hundreds I use the word ultimatum In the sense that It has been given by our practice with both Mexico and Germany during the past three years for under this condition an ultimatum is a note which Is not ultimate but an invitation to further correspondence and is on no account to be translated Into action We have suffered as a nation from prolonged and excessive indulgence In notewritlng and Incidentally we have made the discovery that notewritlng Is not an antidote to murder Let my pacifist friends understand that I am advocating preparedness so as to avoid war and I am advocating preparedness In the work of peace as In size In the world I believe In a thoroughly efficient navy the second In sle In the world I believe in a email but thoroughly efficient regular army an army of 250000 men with a proper reserve This would give us a mobile army of 125000 men But back of the regular army and navy must stand the strength of the people themselves and this strength must be prepared in advance or It will be utterly useless in time of trial Must Not Tolerate Hyphen As part of the work of preparedness as part of the work of Americanism and of nationalization we must set our faces like flint against any effort to silver Above all they strove to avoid divide our people along the lines of the use of the word gold The 61 creed or of national origin The poll Republicans who the other day voted tlco racial hyphen is the breeder of against an adequate army are the lieved in the cause they advocated They included all the men who were the pacifists of their day These pacifists who formed so large a proportion of the old time Tories and Copper Heads abhorred and denounced the militarism of Washington in 1776 and of Lincoln in 1S61 They were against all war and all preparedness for war In the revolutionary contest they Insisted that Washington was the embodiment of anarchic militarism Their purpose was to get the boys of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge out of the trenches and bring them back to their homes and make them quit fighting In 1S64 they denounced Lincoln as a military dictator They praised peace as the greatest of all earthly blessings They demanded that the war should cease and they wished to get the boys of the Army of the Potomac out of the trenches before Christmas and bring them back to the farm the shop and the counting house If these pacifists of the Revolution and civil war had had their way they would have put an Immediate stop to much suffering and much loss of life Third Great National Crisis The lssne is clear cnt in this year 1916 as It wm In 1901 or 1776 In the history of this country this Is the third great crisis and It coincides with a tremendous world crisis The Issue 1st Are we prepared with a sane and lofty Idealism to fit ourselves to render great sertlce to mankind by rendering ourseltes fit for onr own service or are content to avoid effort and labor In the present by preparing to tread the path that China hag trodden We must choose one course or the other We shall gain nothing by making believe that we can avoid choosing either course At present the attitude of many of our politicians In Congress and outside strongly resembles the attitude of many of the politicians in the gold and silver controversy of 20 years ago At that time the free silver men were bold and insistent Just as the professional pacifists are today At that time as today the great bulk of the politicians not only in the Democratic party but in the Republican party were at first mortally afraid to offend the free silver men Feared to Use Word Gold They made every effort to compromise and to take some position that should not be etther for gold or for and Special Counsel Moss who declared the Seymour enterprise to be a legitimate one ALLENS FOOT EASE DOES IT not to have it At this moment Jhe majority of our political leaders either keep silent on the vital Issues

by Germany or by any other European power or San Francisco taken by Japan because we had failed to prepare to defend ourselves the weight of the hand of the alien victor would be felt by all our citizens alike and the story of our shame would be as evil for your childrens children as for mine When the British took Washington in 1814 the disgrace and the loss fell Just as heavily on Americans of English origin as on Americans of any other origin Would Force to Taj Bills The extreme naval party in Germany has recently advocated war with the United States on the ground that in the end as a result of such a war we would have to pay all the war expenditures of the Germanic powers and their allies These enormous sums would be raised by taxation on all our citizens those of German descent would pay as heavily as those of any other descent and all would share equally the shame and dishonor A foreign foe is the foe of all of us alike If in this land the citizens of one national origin successfully set the fashion of influencing this nation to Its own detriment In the interest of the country from which they originally came sooner or later It is absolutely certain that the citizens of some other national origin will repeat the experiment and this country will be left degraded and helpless among the nations If such an event befall us the bitter bread of humiliation will be eaten by all those who dwell in this land no matter what their creed no matter what their national origin It will be eaten by your children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren Just as by mine Same Flea Made to All I make the same plea precisely to the Americans of German birth or descent that I always have made and always shall make to all Americans no matter what their creed or their national origin I am exactly as much opposed to English Americans as to German Americans I oppose all kinds of hyphenated Americanism I ask my fellow Americans who are partly or wholly of German blood to show the foreign foes of America who from abroad Instigate and guide our traitors at home and above all I a6k them to show these traitors at home that the immense majority of Americans of German descent whether naturalized or native born are loyal Americans and nothing else and that they stand for the honor and the interest of the United States shoulder to shoulder with all other good Americans of no matter what creed or national origin Americanism Matter of Spirit Americanism is a matter of the spirit not of birthplace or descent Among the best Americans I have ever known among the men closest to me in social and political life are and have been men born in or men whose fathers were born in Germany Ireland the Scandi ravlan kingdoms and other European countries They stand on an exact level with the other Americans whose ancestors were here In colonial times We are all part of the same people We all stand together for our common flag and our common country We must so prepare that this country will be a good place In which the childrens children of all of us shall live and to do this we must so prepare that we can repel ail foreign foes and preserve the inestimable right of settling for ourselves the fate of this mighty democratic republic But the essence of this policy of full preparedness which remember is not only military but at least as much in dustrial and social Is that It Is purely i defensive and Is the best possible as surance of peace No nation will ever attack a unified and prepared America Mount Vernon Council Adjourns The council of the Mount Vernon Ladles

Methods of distributing the repre sentation among the 5000 members of the Federal Employes Union of the District so as to facilitate the enact ment of legislation and the transaction of general business were decided on at a meeting of the union In the National Rifles Armory street between Ninth and Tenth streets northwest last night It was decided that one representative should be accorded each group of 60 members In the union The voting for these representatives probably will take place in the next two weeks The methods of voting and other necessary questions relating to this business were also taken up last night Wants Women ns Representatives A unique feature of the meeting occurred when Miss Florence Etheridge treasurer of the organization In a talk urged the women members to attempt to have members of their own sex among the representatives The suggestion met with applause from alL Grant Hamilton of the American Federation of Labor In an address before the union last night explained the federations side of the recent strike resulting in the federation withdrawing Its connection with the strikers Has No Apologies to Make The American Federation of Labor has no apologies to make to any one he declared He then explained why the charter was revoked He said that there are thousands of laboring men all over the country whose protection depended op the American Federation of Labor agreements and those of the affiliated organizations being kept to the letter There are 2000 men right in the District he said whose protection hinged on the agreements being kept What will protect these men If the agreement between employer and employe is not worth the paper It is written on he asked Reviews History of Recent Strike Hamilton then reviewed the history of recent strikes in Washington and of the one which led to the charter being revoked He declared that he and his associates had done all that was possible to bring about a peaceable ending of the strike and that when the agreement was broken had done everything in their power to right matters The fact that the urgent suggestions of the American Federation of Labor were not heeded he said could not be overlooked for it would lessen the prestige of the organization if It were unable to back up agreements It stood sponsor for CAR SERVICE IS KEPT UP Few Breaks in Bay Schedule Due to Old Dominion
