In the past, Young America ;ha! been responsible for a . certain | number of false alarms. Similar conditions existed in the jurisdiction of the police department, the augmented force directed person- elly by Chief Willlam J. Rawlings finding little more than normal condi- tions existing. There were only eight '[cnses before the police court yesterday morning, none connected in any war with the Fourth or differing from those coming up for trial any morn- ing throughout the year. Chiefs Dame and Rawlings consid- er the conditions to be a true echo of the times and the spirit to be found among the people of America, a feel- ing bent towards the giving of aid, rather than hinderance to the authori- tles, in meeting abnormal conditions caused by the war. ‘W.

El- ambassador to in this country yes- terday, accompanied by his three children and a trained nurse. Relative and members of the Mayor's committee, headed by Ralph wife, i T. Stanton and George Ieatherstone, met him and notified him of the re- ception at City hall in his honor at noon today. The Battery near Pier A. was thronged with persons at- tracted by the squad of police and motorcycle policemen under Police Inspector Myers awaiting the arrival of the launch patrol with the am- bassador and his party. Mr. Elkus looked bronzed and well as he walked down the gangplank to the pier and no signs of the fever with which he was attacked in Constanti- nople. . “I am perfectly recovered from my he said, “and have enjoyved good health on the voyage ac S, { which was pleasant with fine weather and no incident to speak of. At noon today 1 had a very pleasant sur- prise when I was asked to go te the grand oon on the liner, where I found twenty French officers repre- senting all branches of the service in their full uniform waiting to salute the United States on Independence Day. The Colonel of Artillery who acted as spokesman said he and his brother officers wished on this day to express their thanks to the United States through me, its representative on board, for the way the country had entered the war and the energetic manner in which American troops had been rushed to France in such a short time. The officers compre- hended me on my being an Americat and said that America’s joining the Allies would mean the shortening of the war. Then they all stood to at- tention and saluted the American flag hung in the saloon. T returned the compliment to the French flag.” Never Heard of Loan. When asked about the report sent from Berlin that the ambassador had offered the Austrian government on the part of the United States, a loan of $2,000,000,000 if Austria would withdraw from the war and that the offer had been declined, Mr. Elkus is the first I lhave heard of y such proposal and there is not a word of truth in it. I cannot speak of any diplomatic matter connected with my post until I have reported to the state department at Washing- ton, and I expect to go there. to- morrow afternoon after the Mayor's reception at the City hall. On my wday home from Constantinople I spent two days at Berne, in Switzer- land, where I found. the hotels filled with people but not the regular tour- ists one met there in summer before the war. There was no shortage o food in Switzerland that I could no- tice and the people seemed to be making a good deal of money. “In Paris T found the French people had recovered from the gloom: caused, by the withdrawal of the Russian army from action on the eastern front and rejoiced by the entry of America into the war and\the arrival of Major General Pershing and his staff. I can say without any exag- geration that his® reception® every- where in the French capitai was most enthusiastic, and in the receptions he attended he had ovations from French officials of every degree. I was present when General Pershing visited the senate chamber and the chamber of deputies and heard Vi- viani make the address of welcome. It was a remarkable scene and a very gratitying one for an American to witness. The general was also 2a guest at a luncheon given in my honor on June 22 by President of the Council Ribot. “During my stay in Paris I had the opportunity of visiting the French front and spent a day near St. Quen< tin, within four miles of the first line of trenches. Even at that distance the continuous roar of the heavy artillery was deafening tg those unaccustomed to* the sound. I!*m not know what my: plans are définitely until I haye been to Washis on.” Major H. L. Newbold, U. S. A. mil- jtary attache at Constantinople; A. Van Engel, United States Vice Consul at Censtantinople, and Irvine T. Lan- zy, United States Vive Consul at Bru-* za, Turkev, were also on the liner with the ambassador and accom- panied him on the Patrol to the Bat- tery. Mr. Elkus went to his home at Seabright. FACING DEPORTATION. Immigration Officials at Boston Con- sidering Malikowski’s Case. Facing deportation on the ground that he and his family are likely to become public charges through his conduct and alleged neglect, Peter Malikowski of 78 Beaver street is being held by the federal immigra- tion authorities at Boston pending the handing down of a decision by of- ficials in charge of contested cases. Malikowski, who has been in this country about four years with a wife and five children looking to him for support, was taken into custody last week by federal agents and taken to Boston for a hearing. The hearing was glven Tuesday. Among thoso attending to act as official interpreter and furnish information possessed by him as to details of the case was City and Police Court Interpreter M. R. Malinowsky. It was testified the accused had been previously ar- raigned in the loca] tribunal on non- support charges, this arraignment coming to the attentfon of the gov- ernment authorities and leading to the fear there would be future sup- port expense. 'ROOSEVELT language. RAPS, “MORAL TRAITORS’ mount to Treason, Says Colonel Forest Hills, July 5.—Declaring America who Long Island, N. Y., that those champion Germany’'s against the cause of America in cause are guility of moral treason, and are in fact, although not in law, moral traitors, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in a Fourth of July address here pleaded for a single standard of pa- triotism and loyalty. “We are now at war with Ger- many,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “For over two years Germany has heaped insult upon insult, injury upon in- jury, on our people. We did not even dare to prepare so as to be able ef- fectively to resent wrong in the fu- ture. Our supine inaction was part- ly due to the folly engendered in our people by the professional pacifists. But an even more important factor was the dread many of our politi- cians felt, not merely of the German army abroad, but of German votes at home. The selfishness ana short- sightedness of the American politi- cians were indefensible, and they were due to the fact that the men who took the lead in the German- American movement sought entirely to subordinate the actions of the country of which they wers nom- inally citizens, the United States, to the needs of the country for which they cared, Germany. “Now we are at war with Ger- many, yet many of these persons sup- ported, of course, by professional pacifists, continue to champion Ger- many's cause as against the cause for which we are fighting. This is a moral treason to the republic, and all who engage in it are in fact, al- though not in law, traitors who have no right longer to be treated as American citizens. The time has come to insist that they drop their dual allegiance, and in good faith be- come outright Germans or outright Americans. They cannot be both, and those who pretend to be both are merely Germans who hypocritically pretend to be Americans in order to serve Germany .and damage Amer- ica. At this moment the vital thing to remember about these half-hiddew traitors is that to attack America’s allles, while we are at death grips with a peculiarly ruthless and brutal foe, or to champion that foe as against our allies, or to apologize for that foe’s infamous wrongdoing, is to be false to the cause of liberty and to the United States. No Lmke Warm Patriotism. “There can be no half and half at- titude in this war, and no- honorable man can afford to take such an at- titude. We are bound by every con- sideration of lovalty and good faith to our allies, and any opposition to them, or any aid given to thelr and our enemy, is basely dishonorabls as regards our allies, and treasonable as regards our country.” Colonel Roosevelt said that thae claim that it was natural for Ameri- can citizens of German origin -to favor Germany was ‘“nonsense, and criminal nonsense to boot,” and afd- ed, “either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an Ameri- can at all. We are akin by blood and descent to most of " the nations of Europe, but we arc' separate from all of them. We are a new and distinct nation, and we are bound always to give our whole-hearted and undivid- ed loyvalty to our flag, and in any in- ternational crisis to treat every for- eign nation purely according to its conduct in that crisis. It is bhoth weak and wicked to permit any of our citizens to hold dual or divided allegiance, and it is just as mischiev- ous, just as un-American, to discrim- inate against any good American be- cause of his birthplace, creed or par- entage.” Elaborating on that point and pro- testing against the plan to exclude from American Red Cross units #Americans of German or Austrian parentage or descent, Colonel Roose- velt said%that if he had been per- mitted to raise a militagy force for service in France many of his officers would have been chosen from among men of German parentage who were undoubted Americans. Colonel = Roosevelt severely ar- ralgned those who seek to excuse the acts of Germany ‘“our embittered and envenomed foe”, by saying ‘“we would behave in like manner if we had the opportunity,” and reviewed the his- tory of the Civil War in support of his contention. that the utterance was “infamous falsity.” German Official Brutality. “Contrast the brutality shown to- wards women and children on Lusi- tania, and scores of other ships, by the officially dlrected German sub- marines, with the Alabama’s action fifty years ago,”he continued. “Sem- mes never destroved a vessel without providing for the safety of the pas- sengers and crew. He turned his own officers out of their cabins to put in them the women and children of his foes, and once when he had 700 pris- oners and a prize he allowed them to go in freedecm on the vessel rather than send them to a nearby port where there was yellow fever. Com- pare these actlons with the methodi- cal and organized brutality of the Ger- man military authorities in this war, and then brand with shame the American traltors who seek to aid Germany by asserting that we, iIf giv- en the chance, would be yuilty of atrocities like those she has commit- ted.” Touching on the matter of language Colonel Roosevelt declared that “We must have in this country but one flag, and for the speech of the péo- ple but one langusge, the English During the present war all f newspapers published in German, or in the spéech of any of our foes, should be required to publish, side by side with the forein text, columns in English containing the exact transla- tion of everything said in the for- eign language. Ultimately this should be done wth all newspapers published in foreign tongues in this country. “Universal suffrage should be based on universal service in peace as well as war,” said Colonel Roosevelt in concluding his address. “Those who refuse to render the one should have no title to the enjoyment of the other. We stand for the democracy of ser- vice; we are against privilege, there- fore against the privilege which would escape service in war. “We must fight with steadfast en- durance, until we win the peace of overwhelming victory for righteous- ness, and even while thus fighting we must prepare the way for the peace of industrial justice, and the peace of in- dustrial democracy, which are to come after, and to consecrate the war.” AUTO LICENSES SPENDED. According to notification received by Chief of Bolice William J. Rawlings from Automobile Commissioner Rob- bins B. Stoeckel, the motor vehicle li- censes, locally, of Jacob Winkle, Max Surat of 176 High street and Joseph Jacobs of 55 Austin street have been suspended pending investigation into recent accidents in which those men- tioned have been implicated. It was found, according to the notification, that the license held by Jacobs was issued in the name of Joe Jakubinas. Local authorfties believe the investi- gation will include inquiry as to the difference in names. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. 300 Three-Piece Sufs for | Men and Young Men On Sale!
