Theodore Roose velt urcrprt thorough military prepared ness for the United States and pleaded for true Americanism In two addresses here today; discussed 'Social Justice before the convention of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen and shook hands with several thousand persons at a public reception shortly before de- carting for JSew x or. The ex-President was greeted en thusiastically during his 11-hour stay here as honor guest or an American day celebration. An unusual, demon stration occurred while he was deliver ing his forenoon address at a theater, when an elderly woman, interrupting his expression of approval of universal military service cried out: "I have two one whom I offer." No Need, tt All "Were Willing. "If every mother would make the came offer," the speaker replied, "there would be no need of any mother to send her sons to the front." Speaking at a luncheon at the De troit Athletic Club, Mr. Roosevelt de clared that true Americanism "means unity of the Nation without regard to the lands from which our fathers came; without regard to religious differences, and without regard to the different sections of the country in which we live.' Rain prevented the Colonel from ad dressing a mass meeting at Grand Cir cus Park. After an automobile tour of the city which was preceded by his ad dress before the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen. Mr. Roosevelt returned to his hotel, where thousands thronged the lobbies and stood outside in the rain awaiting an opportunity to catch a glimpse of him. Colonel Does Kot Meet Mr. Ford. Mr. Roosevelt did not meet Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, al though early in the day it was said the Colonel planned to visit Mr. Ford at the latter's factory. Colonel Roosevelt in his main address said he had "come here to Michigan because in the primary for the selection of delegates to the Republican National convention Mr. Ford was victorious, and following his victory here he "showed a marked popular strength in Nebraska and Pennsylvania. The effect of this showing has been immediately visible upon many of the politicians within and without Congress." He charged that Congress had failed to "learn the smallest part of the les son being written in Europe. "We must make this Nation as strong as are its convictions in reference to "right and wrong," declared Colonel Roosevelt. "It little matters what our ideals may be and what Achievements we may hope for, if these ideals and achievements cannot be reduced to action. A considerable part of the strength of Mr. Ford in the primaries. and of the strength of the advocates of half-preparedness at Washington, comes from the fact that no real alternative policy is offered with sincerity and fearlessness. Universal Training Advocated. In urging "universal military service based on universal trainng," Colonel Roosevelt said he believed in it be cause "it would be not only of great benefit to the Nation in the event of war, but of incalculable benefit to the individuals undergoing it and therefore to the Nation, as regards the work o peace." Colonel Roosevelt asserted that "the extreme naval party in Germany has recently advocated, war with the United States on the ground that in the end, as the result of such a war. we would have to pay all the war expenditures of the Germanic powers and their allies." "These enormous sums would be raised by taxation, on all our citizens, he said; "those of German descent would, pay as heavily as those of any other descent and all would share equally the shame and dishonor. "Americanism is a .matter of the spirit, not of. birthplace or descent. Among the best Americans . I have known are, and have been, men born in or men .whose fathers were born in Germany, Ireland. the Scandinavian kingdoms and .other European coun tries. They stand on an exact level with Americans whose ancestors were here in colonial times." Samuel Hill Says Germany Is Already Beaten.

NEW YORK, May 14. Samuel Hill. who has been associated for 12 years with his father-in-law, James J. Hill, in the latter's railroad enterprises, ar rived last night from Liverpool on the American liner Philadelphia, on which he mad the round voyage. Whifci the liner was in port on the other side, from Monday morning. May 1. to Saturday afternoon. May 6. Mr. Hill traveled to London, crossed over to France, dined with Albert, King of the Belgians, at his headquarters; visited the firing line in Western France and r lanaers, reiurnea 10 ionaon oy way of Boulogne, met Cabinet Ministers, went to Scotland, visited the fleet, saw the harbor protections against sub marines, and reached Liverpool some hours before the Philadelphia sailed for New York. Germany Declared Beaten. Mr. Hill said he had made this rapid trip to get certain information, and had succeeded in his mission, the nature of which he could not disclose yet. He s going to Washington today. "Germany is beaten." he said, "and the end of the war is in sight. Peace will come suddenly, as the great war started, in August. 1914. There will not be another Winter campaign. Germany cannot struggle against the overwhelm ing financial strain 'and the economic conditions prevailing since the war. "In 1913 Germany imported 600,000 laborers to harvest her crops, and this year she will only gather in 60 per cent of the harvest of the year before tha war. "King Albert, whom I have known personally for 20 years, was in excellent health and confident of having his country restored to1 him at the end of the war, which in France and England is regarded as a certain victory for the allies. The French people have got living down to a practical economic basis. They eat only sufficient food to sustain them in health. Special Permit Obtained. "When the Philadelphia got alongside the Liverpool landing stage early Mon day morning I was permitted to leave at once and caught the 9:20 train to London, where I arrived four hours later. I drove at once to the French Embassy, presented my credentials from Ambassador Jusserand and the State Department, and obtained a spe cial permit to travel that night to Paris via . Southampton and Havre, which is prohibited generally to neu trals, who have to go by Folkstone and Dieppe. "On my arrival at Havre on Tuesday forenoon I drove to the capital of Bel gium, which is called Nice Havraise, and saw the Minister of Justice, who telephoned to Paris and arranged for my visit to King Albert. Before taking the train for Paris I was taken for a 25-mile automobile drive outside Havre, where the crops are aDundant. JNot a square inch of ground has been left un cultivated. I saw more vegetation In that ride than I did afterward in the whole of my trip through England and Scotland. "I slept in Paris on Tuesday night and started early Wednesday morning in the direction of Dunkirk. There were no cabs in the French capital, and the porter had to carry my bag to the hotel wnue 1 followed on foot. "When I left the ' train at a small station, of which I may not give the name, I was met by an aide de camp with an automobile marked "S. M.' in white letters on the front and side. There was a soldier chauffeur In front, and the officer and myself sa,t in the tonneau. "I do not know the make ,of the car. uui jl went at a speea i nad never traveled before over hills, streams and plains, never- stopping, for nearly five hours. Our average speed was 55 miles an hour, and we were 75 to 80 miles on the down grades. At every main road crossing soldiers covered us with their rifles, but fell back as the officer made them a sign. This scared me fre quently, as I felt that he might make a mistake in the sign and the soldiers would fire on us without stopping for inquiries. "It was about 4 o'clock on Wednes day afternoon when we arrived at the small village near Lappin, where King Albert and Queen Elizabeth were stay ing at that timet I had a conference with his Majesty which lasted three hours, and then had dinner with him. The Queen and a Belgian General were the only others present. The meal was a very simple one, consisting of soup ana roast chicken, with salad and des sert. There was no wine on the table. After dinner I talked with King Albert until 10:30 o'clock, and then drove off In the automobile to a small ramshackle house, where I slept until 4 o'clock next morning in a sparsely furnished room. German Salnte Dawn. "At that hour I was awakened by a rocking sensation accompanied by a heavy booming, which I discovered to be the Germans saluting the dawn. The King had promised that I was to see something of the firing lines, and he kept his word. After breakfasting on eggs. Dread and corree 1 drove some dls tance in ine automobile until appar ently we came quite close to the Ger man guns and saw the Belgian soldiers in the distance, scattered in twos and threes, lying on the ground. I remained there until 8 o'clock, when King Albert and his staff arrived, with the Queen, in tne rear or tne nrlng line. "After leaving the Belgian battle front I drove in the King's automobile at the same terrific speed for about 200 miles to Boulogne, where I had a ene- cial permit to cross over to Folkstone on one of the British transports."
