NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1917. ki GERMANS UNIT FOR . . KAISER, SAYS T.R. Believes America Is Fighting Peo- ple As Well As Government | Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 25.—The , attitude of the German-American press and the German Alliance in this dountry “in their hearty support of the German government” and the at- titude of the Germans at home toward their government shows that they are back of it, Colonel Roosevelt said, in | a speech at the Old Glory week fe: A CREATION OF SATIN AND GOLD tival shere last night in commenting | ‘on the theory that the United States is fighting the German government »but not the German people. “For no nation does Germany feel and express such bitter and contemp- tuous hostility as for the United | States,” he said. ‘‘There is no ion on the face of the globe which they ‘would be more delighted to ruin and plunder. Under such circumstances . the public men and newspapers en- | ,8aged in defending Germany or -a: “sailing England and our other allies or in protesting against the war and demanding an inconclusive peace are guilty of moral treason to this coun- try, and while the German-American papers have achieved an evil promi- nence in this matter the professiona anti-English Irish papers are as bad and the purely sensational demagogic and unpatriotic section of the native _American press is the worst of all. Kaiser Truly Supported. : “Germany embodies the principles | of successful militaristic autocracy. Much has been said about our being against the German government but not against the German people. The attitude of the German-American press and the German Alliance in this *country in their hearty support of the German government and the practi- cally unanimous support of that gov- ernment heretofore by the Germans at home shows that at present the Ger- mans are back of the German gov- ernment. “They have enthusiastically sup- ported its policy of brutal disregard of the rights of others. Until they re- Werse themselves, until they cast off the yoke of militaristic autocracy they identify themselves with it and force us to be against them. It is for the German people themselves to differen- tiate themselves from their govern- ment. Until they do this they force us to be against the German people BS a necessary incldent of being pgainst the German government. > “Phe Germans govern from above down. The people of this republic, like the people of France, like the people of England, believe in govern- ment from below up. In other words we bellieve in government by our- selves. The Germans believe in being governed by an autocratic dynasty which rests primarily on a great mili- taristic class and a great bureaucratic class. No man who supports Germany & this timé can clalm to be a real democrat or a real lover of free in- stitutions. He is false both to demo- cracy and freedom.” Plan to Smash America. Germany had well matured plans for the conquest and oppression of the Ynited States, he sald. This was evidenced, he said, by the conversa- tion of some recently captured Ger- man officers who talked to their English captors freely without know- ing that an American officer was present. “These Germans announced that Germany was going to win and that they were going to smash the United States and bleed it white with an enormous indemnity and make it pay the whole expense of the war,” he pald. “They had no thought of peace and no man in his senses doubts that this would be the policy adopted as a matter of course by Germany. “If at this moment, while we are sftll helpless, France and England were defeated, the German fleet would be at our doors in a fortnight and an army of conquest would have landed here within a month. Some years ago I saw openly published in Ger- many a pamphlet written by a mem- ber of the German general staff con- taining a well worked out plan for the In the vanguard of the season's feminine adornment.

In fact, though an after- noon gown it is suitable for almost i any occasion except the ultra formal. Wide gold lace banding forming the shoulder straps and collar and cuffs is but one of the distinctive features. The same banding is gracefully ar- ranged to trim the tunic, and a deep cuff of rich fur finishes the tunic.

The Siamese government, accord- ing to a despatch from Bangkok to Reuter’s has called for valunteers who may be sent to the western front. ‘The volunteers the despatch says will be instructed by officers trained in Bel- gium. The correspondent also states that a prize court has condemned six Ger- man steamers of a total tonnage of 8,021, Soon after the entrance of Siam into the war on July 22, nine Austro-Ger- man steamers, aggregating 19,000 tons, were seized by that government. They were owned chiefly by the North German Lloyd company. BOARDS ARE WORKING.

This applies to the twenty-two warships of the light squadron, consisting of de- stroyers, gunboats and light cruisers, chief of and Kilkish, battleships which are the Lemnos formerly the American Idaho and Mississippi. This change back to Greek control is one of the results of the recent Bal- kan conference at Paris, when the al- lled military and naval activities were confined to the Saloniki region, while the new Venizelos regime was strength ened by entrusting to it the military and naval control of lower Greece. The Entente troops were rapidly with- | drawn from all these southern scctions and at the same time the Entente crews turned over the warships to their Greek commande It was last October that ex-King tary and naval ac- were considered by the Entente allies as such a menace in the rear of the Saloniki expedition that allied con- trol should be applied. On the light squadron there was a change of flags and crews, and the ships went to Sa- loniki where they joined the allicd squadron. The battleships Lemnos and Kilkish remained at the arsenai near here, but had some of the vital parts removed so as to render them incapable of doing any damage by the government then in control. A crowd of several thousand Greek officers and their partisans gathered in front of the American legation at the time, trying to have the American minister intervene, which he sternly refused to do as being a matter en- tirely outside his functions. The American authorities are satisfied this demonstration was planned by the then existing government for political effect, to create the impression that American sympathy was against the Entente allies. 1t failed of that effect, and thereafter the delegations of agi- tators had te bear a request from the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs before being received at the American lega- tion.
