Root, who appeared on the platform with Samuel Gompers, men- tioned no names in his address. The crowd inferred whom he meant at in- tervals, and there were frequent out- bursts. The meeting was held under the direction of the Chicago branch of the National Security league. In defining the attitude of citizens toward the conduct of the war, and incidentally what constituted being a traitor, Elihu Root said in part: “The declaration of war between the United States and Germany com- pletely changed the relations of all the inhabitants of the country to the subject of peace and war. “Anybody who seeks to stop the ex- ecution of the order sending troops to Trance ard Belgium is simply trying to prevent the American Government from carrying on the war successful- ly. He is aiding the enemies of his country, and if he understands what he is doing he is a traitor at heart. “It is beyond doubt that many of the professed pacifists, tho opponents of the war after the war has been en- tered upon, the men who are trying to stir up resistance to the draft, the men who are inciting strikes in the particular branches of production which are necessary for the supply of arms and ammunition of war, are in- tentionally seeking to aid Germany and defeat the United States. As time goes on the character of these acts becomes more clearly manifest, all who continue to associate with them must come under the same condemna- tlon as traitors to their country. War of Defense. “This is a war of defense. Tt is per- fectly cribed in the words of the Constitution which established this na- tion—‘to previde for the common de- fense’ and ‘to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.’ The national defense demands not merely force, but intellizence. By en- tering this war in April, the United States availead itself of the very last | opportunity to defend itself against subjection to German power before t was too late to defend itself success- fully. 3efore the declaration everybody had a right to discuss whether the United States should carry on war against Germany. But the question of peace or war has now been decided by the president and congress, not sud- denly or rashly, but advisedly, after a long delay and discussion and patience under provocation after repeated diplomatic warnings to Germany, to known the whole country. “When such a decision has been made, the duties—and therefore the rights—of all the people of the coun- try immediately change. It becomes their duty to stop discussion upon the question decided and to act, to pro- ceed immediately to do everything in their power to enable the government of thelr country to succeed in the war upon which the country has entered. Pacifists Aides to Kaiser. “The men who are speaking and writing and printing arguments against the war now, and against everything that is being done to car- ry on the war are rendering more ef- fective service to Germany than they could render in the fleld. The pur- pose and effect of what they are doing is so plain that it is impossible to re- sist the conclusion that the greater part of them are at heart traitors to the United States and willfully seek- ing to bring about the triumph of Germany and the humiliation and de- feat of their country. “The instinct of the American de- mocracy, which led them to act when it did, arose from a long-delayed and reluctant consciousness, still vague and half-expressed, that this is no ordinary war which the world is waging. It is the climax of the su- preme struggle between autocracy and democracy. If autocracy is de- feated, the nations are compelled to recognize the rules of law and of morals; then and then only will de- mocracy be safe. “To this great conflict for human rights and human liberty America has committed herself. There can be no backward step. There must be either humiliating and degrading sub- | mission, or glorious victory. Governor Lowden, who had been scheduled to appear, was unable to attend on account of the extraordin- ary labor situation at the State Cap- itol. e sent this message: “Springfield is the storm center of | Tllinois just now, and I must remain at my post. The great majority of working men here are loyal. But sin- ister influences are at work to in- volve labor in a hostile attitude to- ward the government. We must sep- arate these two forces. “To do so we must give larger rec- ognition to loyal labor organizations such those represented by Mr. Gompers. Above all, labor and cap- ital are equally interested in main- taining internal order while this war is on. “Tt will abroad if do no good to win battle we cannot maintain peace dgeport next year. ‘at home.

INSURANGE MEASURE PASSAGE GERTAIN President Tells Leaders He Wants Action Now ‘Washington, Sept. 15.—President Wilson has communicated directly (o senate leaders his wish that the sol- diers ’and sailors’ insurance bill be cnacted befare adjournment and it is virtually certain that.his plan will be followed. Unless some agreement can be made to cut down debate, plans for adjournment around October 1 will. be seriously disarranged. Passage by night of the eleven billion dollar war credits bill seemed virtually certain when the senate to- day resumed debate on the measure, although lack of a quarum may pre- vent action should the point be raised. | The average attendance yesterday was fewer than a dozen senators. Several amendments were added, among them being one increasing from one-seventh to one-fourth of one per cent. as the cost of floating the bonds and war certificates and decreasing from one-tenth to one-twentieth of one per cent. the allowance for the debtedness certificates. Senate and house confrees on the war tax bill today continued their de- liherations after having tentativel posed of all majar points of dispute except the war profits and postage sec tions. These probably will be dis- posed of last. The rapid progress made so far en- | courageed the belief today that early next week would see a complete agree- | ment. Features tentatively agreed upon include the income tax, tobacco, | liquor and public utility sections. The confrees today gave considera- tion to points over which there is no dispute. They began with the manu- facturing tax section, taking up first the automobile clausc. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mrs. Ellen McCarthy.

Men’s Dept. Henry Clews’ Weekly Letter (Special the Herald) York, Sept. 15.—Further per- | stent liquidation has left its imprint | on the price level of securitics this week. Indications are present that this selling has to some extent at least been of foreign origin. Sweden ap- pears to have been one source, fol- | lowing the disclosures of the use by | the German Ambassador at Buenos | Aries of the Swedish diplomatic ser- vice to send unneutral information to his government It is quite desir- able to emphasize that \nformation regarding all these foreign sales is not tangible. But it is well known that Swedish interests have, like those of other neutral countries, been realizing enormous profits during the war. Hence it does not appear un- reasonable to believe that they in- vested substantial amounts of these profits in American securities. Cer- tainly no better avenues for invest- ments were present. ' The liquidation of a purely local character appears to have been a response to the continued uncertain- ty resulting from the various in- fluences that have become such im- portant factors in the general market situation For instance, railroad if comparison are made with the corresponding figures of a year ago, suggest, in nearly all instances, remarkable increases in ex- increases sufficient to cut down to extremely unsatisfactory pro- portions the equally remarkable im- provement in gross earnings that has resulted from the unexampled move- ment of merchandise. As a second factor in the market's nervousness should be mentioned the uncertain- ty that continues as the government’s price fixing plans. Reports have reached New York from Washington almost daily that announcement of to New government for iron, steel and copper and other metals would be made in a short time. But at this writing the official figures still have not been pro- | mulgated and our manufacturers are in the dark as to the approximate figures they are to receive for the sup- plies covered by the contracts either with our own government or with the " governments that are our associates in | 3 all this nervou: ness the avs among large man- acturers a feeling of confidence that | the prices when finally announced will be such as to justify the belief that | they will represent a policy of liberal- the administration. Difficulty in in- creasing the volume of funds that is necessary for prompt vietory will be increased if the sources of supply are arbitrarily dried up, as cannot fail to be the result in the event of taxa- tion being too burdensome. The reve- nue bill passed the upper house early in the week. It now goes to confer- ence and soon will be on the statute books., It represents in the main the victory of calm minded men over a few who were hysterically demanding a conscription of wealth on a scale calculated to do lasting injury to our | country. Nevertheless the burden of taxation which will. be cheerfully | borne as a war-time necessity is a | heavy one. In providing funds for | carrying on the war the. men of mature age already are bearing the greater part of the burden, so far as money is concerned. The young men | are doing their full share in enlist- | ing in the dervice of their country | and they will soon be actually fighting our battles. It is no more than fair ‘that the coming generation, who will benefit by a victory for democracy over autocracy, should pay a part of the debts we are now contracting for war purposes. Therefore I believe bonds should be issued in to provide for actual war needs, rather than that vast amounts should be raised by tax- ation of individuals and business sur- plus profits. In other words, we should pay our share to preserve the rights of the future generation, but in their turn, should pay the debt incurred to insure their heritage of liberty. So far as the railroads are involved, the heavy reductions in net reyenues are very apt to be accorded cxagger- ated importance. The volume of busi- ness that is being carried by the trans portation lines has never before been equaled; there is no immediate pros- pect of an important change in this respect.” Reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission from 155 of the large roads for the month of July show their revenues $302,839,088, as compared with $263,501,346 for the same month la After allow- ing for the inc cd operating ex- penses the net revenue amounted to $96,649,534, comparing with $93,881,- 174. For the seven months ended with July the gross receipts were $1,949,- 770,000, an increase from $1,738,298,- 000 for the same period of 1916, while the net revenues were $571,834,000, compared with $576,778,000 last year. that as these comparisons are with a periad of unexampied prosperity in the trans- world a reaction is not un- natural. 1If we take the New York Central as a specific instance, the un- representative basis of a comparison of last vear becomes evident. The July atement indicated gross reve- nues of $19 6,340. This compared with $17,127,204 in 1916 and $13,947,- 770 in the vear preceding.

Co. available for dividends despite the higher gross was only $3,543,955, and compares with $3,641,126 for July last vear, which, of course, is a reduction of close to $100,000. But it neverthe- less is no less than $1,200,000 larger than the corresponding surplus in 1915. The Pennsylvania’s net earningg for the seven months indicate a de- crease of $10,000,000 from the corres- ponding period of 1916; ;but they are still more than $12,500,000 in excess of the 1915 figures and are no less than $17,000,000 greater than those of 1914, If these comparisons are represen- tative of the general railroad situation, and it is believed they are, there cer- tainly is no incentive for permanent investors (in contradistinction to speculators who are desirous of secur- ing day to day profits) to indulge in the active liquidation that has so re- cently been a feature of the market for railroad securities. We are very apt, and not unnaturally, so to overlook because of our sympathies and the per- sonal dangers of our loved ones, the material advantages that must inevi- tably result from a war that we tried 5o hard to avoid. America has attained and will main- tain a new financial position among the nations of the world; it will be re- stored to the seas as an important maritime nation; it will have become associated in a practical way with many new export markets, and, finally, it will moreover have the lasting repu- tation of being the nation that at the | in to decide This is crucial moment stepped the war in favor of democracy. a position that cannot fail to mean much in the material sense. It will mean a post-war continuance of our national activities on a remarkable scale and a continuing prosperity for the great corporations that so clearly activities. Our cauntry has yet far to go before are responsible for those it reaches the peak of its development. For our farms and mines we have had series of weonderfully ars. High prices have been paid for our products by foreign countries, thus increasing our wealth. This vear we have in sight a corn crop of 3,248,000,- 000 bushels. Winter wheat crop is below the average, but spring wheat pramises about an average out-turn. Meanwhile virtually all the minor crops are well in excess of average vields. These facts indicate the de- gree of prosperity that is being ex- perienced in the agricultural seations of the country. Industry is presenting a similar position. Labor is so active- ly employed at high wages that its spending pawer can hardly be over- etimated. The increase in the price of silver to virtually $1,00 per ounce is an indication of the increasing value of the product of our mines. This, too, means a corresponding increase in our wealth especially if, as seems not im- probable, advantage can be taken of the current opportunity to export a considerable part of the huge volume af silver that we have on hand. A period of some strain has de- veloped in money circles. It is not calculated to be of a protracted na- ture. The government, through our new banking tem, which has shown its ability to handle such per- iods of strain, may be depended upon to keep the money market in a com- fortable position, at any rate during the period of distribution of new loan. The subject has already been taken up officially with the banks by the government authorities with a view of nationwide co-operation. Our Fed- eral banking officials have full au- thority to issue notes as needed; thus member banks of the Reserve system need experience no strain, since they are able to rediscount their own com- mercial paper at the Federal institu- tions whenever they desire. MONEY SAVED ON PAPFR. Washington, Sept. 15.—Senator Fletcher told the senate today that the joint congressional committee on print- ing had saved the government half a million dollars by close supervision of its paper purchases and its refusal to become panicky when others, scared by the false cry of shortage, were buying paper at excessive prices.
