Jan. 4.—Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt, breaking the silence he had maintained since the day be- fore election, resumed the leadership last night of the forces opposing President Wilson and his administra- tion. He picked out the Wilson peace note of Dec. 30 and Secretary Lan- slngs explanation of it, issued the following day, as a text for his at- tack, and demanded an investigation of the charges that persons who had received advance information had benefitted by the consequent agita- tion of the stock market. He did not, however, mention any names in thie connection. Colonel Roosevelt gave evidence of agitation as he dictated his arraign- ment of the president to a reporter at the Hotel Langdon. Since the day of thé president's peace note he had been revolving in his mind the wis- dom of still another bitter fight against' the administration. The al- legations made since that time, de- cided the Colonel to demand a thor- ough investigation of the charge that ‘Wall street profited through the note. He intends' from now on to back made by Rapresentative W. R. Wood of Indiana, Representative Gardner | of Massachusetts, and other republi- ' cans. He is also determinéd to aid Senator Lodge of Massachusetts in his fight against the senate indorse- ment of the Wilson peace note and | the League for the Enforcement of Peace. Colonel Rooseveit in his statement puts upon the president’s note an interpretation similar to that place on it by several foreign governments, an interpretation which has since ‘been proclaimed by friends of the admin- istration as a false reading of the president’s lines. Thus Mr. Roose- velt says: “For example, the note says that ! thus far both sides seem to be fight- ing for the same thing,” and from this premise he develops an attack that questions the president’s judg- ment, his wisdom, and his courage. ‘What the\note‘ signed by Secretary of State Lansing, quoting the presi- dent, said was this: ““He takes the liberty of calling at- | tention to the fact that the objects, which the statesmen of the belliger- ents on both sides have in mind in this war. are virtually the same as stated in general terms to their own people and to the world. Each side desires to make the rights and priv- ileges of weak people and small states as secure against aggression or de- nial in the future as the rights and privileges of the great and powerful states now at war. Each wishes it- self to be made secure in future along with all other nations and peoples against the recurrence of wars like this and agalinst aggression or selfish interference of any kind.” FIRST IN THE FIELD! HAPPY NEW YEAR---1917 OHN A. ‘read in the papers, statement: “Senator Lodge and Congressman Gardner have rendered a great pub- lic service and have made all good citizens of this country their debtors. The defenders of the administration are still actively discussing whether the president’s recent manifesto wasa peace note or a war note, the presi- dent's own secretary of state having | interpreted it in two precisely oppos- ing directions within six hours. To be sure this represents a rather longer interval than that usual between, the changes of mind of the administra- tion, but in the present instance there seems to have been more design than usual in the change of mind. “For while neither the dream nor the two interpretations thereof have the slightest effect in securing peace in Europe they have an extraordinary effect upon the stock market in New York and, to judge from what I the net effect, and the only net effect, of this sup- posed action for peace was to ruin an immense number of small invest- ors who were not forwarned for the benefit of a very few persons, who, {in the present mishandling of no fall to produce upon the stock market the exact effect which they actually did. The statements pub- | lished in the press of what occurred in the stock market make it morally certain that somehow or other some- body had advance information. It is utterly useless for any committee to deny facts thus apparent on their face but the committee can tender a great service if they follow Mr. Gardner's lead and take steps which will pre- vent the future hitching up of con- tradictatory manifestoes about our foreign policy with manipulations of the stock market. David Jayne Hill on Note. “When the president’s policy in | vital matters is both so suddenly an- | nounced and so wrapped in a fog of obscurity that his own secretary of state interprets it in two different ways within six hours, the only peo- ple who can possibly benefit are the biggest and most conscienceless stock gamblers, and this fact might as well be understood. As regards Senator Lodge’s speech, all persons interested our j ous, because it took no account what- ever of the most serious causes of offense that have been given to the United States and invited insincere and improper bidding for our sup- ! port. Nor is this all. The note takes po- sitions so profoundly immoral and ! misleading that high-minded and | right-thinking ~ American citizens whose country this note places in a thoroughly false light are in honor bound to protest. For example the note says that thus far both sides seem to be fighting for the same thing. This is palpably false. Nor is this all. It is wickedly false. To say that the Germans who have trampelled Belgium under heel and are at this moment transporting 10,- 000 Belgians to serve as state slaves | 'in Germany are fighting for the same things as their hunted victims, the Belgians who have fought only for their country and their hearthstones, and their wives and their children, is not only a falsehood, but a callous if they did not know of these events | foreign affairs would do well to read and a most immoral felsehood, a thing | the comment of the Hon.

Most Preposterous Absurdity. “But perhaps the most preposter- ous absurdity s the statement that the United States is ready and eager to guarantee the peace of the world. The spectacle of the president trying, by the aid of Messrs, Daniels and Baker, to guarantee the peace of any nation under the sun against a single powerful and resolute foe is-as comic as anything that was ever written by Artemus Ward. If his words meant anything they would mean that here- after we intended to embark on a policy of violent meddling in every European quarrel, and in return to meddle in everything American. Of course, as a matter of fact, the words mean nothing whatever. Mr. Wilson pompously announces that we are to use every resource at our command to secure the future peace of the world’ &t the very time that, after three years of effort, he is helplessly unable to secure peace in that small part of the world immediately adjoining ue which is called Mexico. The presi- dent is nervously backing away from Mr. Carranza, and he is busily en- gaged in finding new excuses for not securing peace in Mexlco at the very time that he is fulminating these vague threats and uttering these vague promises in reference to the formidable military powers who are engaged in their great death Wrestle across the seas. “Let the president keep the prom- ises he made in The Hague conven- Hons and let him bend all hi; to' secure the ideals of unive ligatory military training and tary service for our youmg fore, in the interest of the hag wronged Belgium and murtered our citizens on tl @eas by the hundreds, he m ises which he could not fulfill § minates threats which, when secretary of state takes them 1y, so frighten Wall Street th same secretary of state is fou mediately to announce that hi pretation was mistaken and all these same threats are to terpreted in a strictly Piek] sense.” Mr. Roosevelt declined to a thing to his statement, althou| understood that he has entef fight to force an investigation| so-called ‘“leak” from Was} and means to stay in it unti made certain that the matter be allowed to die out. by local applications, as they ce: the diseased portion of the ear: is only one way to cure catarr] apd that i by a constitutional ;hlar‘rlhnl ?lu?ll!.ll is caused by smed condition of the mucous the Eustashian Tube.
