L, Jan. 29.—Dis- cussing President Wilson’s remarks on universal military service to the Mary- land preparedness delegation last Thursday, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt night: “President Wilson has announced himself in favor of peace without vic- tory, and now he has declared himself against universal service—that i against all efficient preparedness by the United States, “Peace without victory is the natural ideal of the man who is too proud to fight. In the event of war it is the only the nation whose governors and leaders are too proud to fight and too foolish to prepare. It is spurned by call themselves fellow citizens of | Washington and Lincoln, or of the war-worn fighters who followed Grant and Lee. “The Tories of 1776 demanded peace without victory. The (opper- heads of 1864 demanded peace with- out victory. These men were Mr. Wilson’s spiritual forbears. But neither Washington nor Lincoln was among the men who draw the sword lightly. or who, when once it has been drawn, sheath it without victory. If a righteous war is concluded by a peace without victory, such a peace means the triumph of wrong over right, and neutrality between right and wrong means the support of Wwrong against right. “Mr. ' Wilsan asks the world to ac- cept a Copperhead peoce of dishonor, a peace without tory for the right, a peace deslgne%: let wrong triumph, a peace championed in neutral coun- tries by the apostles of timidity and greed. In Mexico he has accepted and is accepting such a peace, and by his Mexican policy he has brought dis- aster to Mexico” and dishonor to the United States. His policies through- out his four years have brought woe to humanity and shame and bitterness of heart to all Americans proud of the honor of their flag. ‘““President Wilson talks of the ‘free- dom of the seas’ The basic form of freedom is to be free from murder. Yet, President Wilson has not dared to secure even this elementary free- dom for our men, women and chil- dren on the seas. Let him first act in the present to secure this elementary treedam from Germany before, In the interest of Germany, he asks the abolition of naval power, Let him remember that to work for disarma- ment on the seas until after there has been disarmament on land by the great military powers of Burope and Asla, is to put this non-military coun- try at the mercy of every military monarchy; for inasmuch as we are now defenseless on land, our navy is our only safeguard against invasion. “It would be well of Mr. Wilson would cease to tread in the footsteps of the Tories of the Revolutian and the Copperheads of the Civil war. Let him think of the men of Valley Forge, who in the last extremity of want and misery yet spurned peace without vic- tory and scorned to be neutral be- tween right and wrong. Let him think of the men of the Civil war and of | Lowell’s trumpet lines: first holy communion.

Not like a mourner bowed, For honor lost and dear ones wasted; But proud to meet a people proud, With eves that tell of triumph tasted. “When fear of the German sub- marine next moves Mr. Wilson to de- clare for ‘peace without victory' be- tween the tortured Belgians and their cruel oppressers and taskmasters; when such fear next moves him to utter the shameful untruth that each side is fighting for the same things, and to declare for neutrality between wrong and right; let him think of the prophetess Deborah, who, when Sisera mightily oppressed the children aof Israel with his chariots of iron, and when the people of Meroz stood neu- tral between the oppressed and the oppressor, sang of them: “‘Curse ve, Meroz, said the Angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the in- habitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord, against the mighty.’ “President Wilson has earned for this nation the curse of Meroz, for he has not dared to stand on the side of the Lord against the wrongdoings of the mighty.” What to Do for Itching Skins There is usually immediate relief for skins itching, burning and disfigured by eczema, Tingworm, or similar torment- ing skin-trouble, in a warm vath with resinol soap and a simple application of resinol ointment.

England now faces the large problem of diverting this production into new and useful channels, by which the na- tion will again supply the outside world with goods, thus diminishing the steady outflow of gold and check- ing the decline in the British exchange rate. There are now 4,623 private factor- ies and works, ordinarlly employed in various useful kinds of metal produc- tion, which have been taken over by the government and are now ‘con- trolled” works. These are in addition to the regular government factories. There are 2,250,000 employes work- ing in these “controlled” and gov- ly guns and shells. This enormous production has now reached a point where the equipment of the army is approximately complete in some of the main lines. The extent to which this gun and shell output has grown is shown by figures given at the ministry of muni- tions. The comparison is made be- tween June, 1915, when the war had just got under way, and today. For every heavy howitzer produced then there are 323 produced now; for every field howitzer produced then there are 46 produced now; for every medium gun then there are 66 now. The output of 80- pounders and 6-inch guns went up eighteen fold and has now dropped- back to twelve fold, as the supply is too great. As a whole the production of guns of all calibres has increased forty-one fold on those of medium weight and twelve fold on the heavier guns. About the only exception is in small arms, as the increase of regulation rifles is particularly difficult and has not much more than doubled. The shell production, however, has taken such a leap that the production for heavy guns in a single day equals the entire year's production during the first year of the war. It is because this high water mark in the output of ammunition has been reached and passed that attention is now being given to gradually divert- ing beo 03 ether lines so that the ernment factories making exclusive- | ' Oh, thank you, Mr. Smith. like to have you come to see sister, ’cause you always have this nice Adams Black Jack gum. She says. it makes your breath sweet, and Ma says it’s fine for colds—but I like it just because it tastes so good, I do trade and export war may be carried n. At the board of trade the returns show that the scale is already turning favorably and thut exports are stead- fly increasing and the heavy trade balance against England steadily go- - ing down. On practically all the ar- ticles usually sent to America the ex- ports kept stéadily dropping off last vear. This is what has given point to the present movement to concentrate all attention on essential industries. ITALY AN INSTANGE OF WILSON'S AIM Rufiini Agrees With the Basic Thought of Senate Speech Rome, Jan. 28, via Paris, 4:55 a. m.—Italy wishes once for all to free the Itallans who are still living under Austrian tyranny,” said Francesco Ruffini, minister of public isstructions, in a statement today to the Associat- ed Press in regard to President Wil- san’s address to the senate. ‘‘Part of the president’s message, regarding the possibility of seeking guarantees e for future peace, is supported in its | fundamental ideas by the Entente, which in its note set forth the same aspirations for a stable settlement in Europe. “Naturally the particular way in which Mr. Wilson proposes to safe- guard the peace in the future re- quires discussion. Such a discus- sion, however, is premature at this time for us since, as the president himself admits, an. indispensable pre- liminary to a future understanding is that the present war must first be ended. “For us—actors, not spectators terest. Therefore it is essential.to see whether our war aims, which in- volve such successes for us, are in conflict with those essential condi- tions indicated by President Wilson as necessary to safeguard peace in the future. “The aims of TItaly are able conditions of peace. Mr. Wilson cited as an example of what was needed the reconstruction of Poland, indispens- cial development' for all peoples who have lived heretofore under the pow- er of goverrments devoted to a pur- pose hostile to their own. “The president also said the world can be at peace only if its life is | stable and there can be no stability i where the will is in rebellion, where there is not tranquility of spirit and a sense of justice of freedom and of right. “Italy, having laboriously emerged from bondage by 'driving out the Austrians, has among her war aims the attainment of complete unity. This is justified historically and its completion will be a proper act, be- cause Italy does not wish to live by the grace of others. President Wilson could not find a better examplification of these prin ciples than the war in which Italy is fighting beside her allies. Tndin Thanks President.
