The Freedom of
Enslavement
By- Theodore- Roosevelt
(Coyprlght, , 1918, Kansas Ctly Star)
The surest way to kill a great
cause Is to reduce It to a hard
iund fast formula and Insist upon
the' application' of the formula
without iegsrd to actual existing
j conditions. If Is announced In' the
; press' that the president Is going
to' the' peace conference especially
! to lrsi.it, amo.ig other things, on
that one of his 14 polntB dealing
wllh tho so-called "freedom of the
sens." The preaidflnt's position In
the matter is, of course, eagerly
chami4oned by Germany, aB it
lias been .Germany's special posi
tion throughout the war. .It Is, of
coiirse', eagerly championed by the
New Yovk World, the Haarst pa
pers and all the rubber-stamp gen
try, it-is antagonized-by England
and France and by every nntl-Oor-
man In America who understands
the situation.
It Is utterly Impossible, In- view
of the Immense rapidity of the
change In modern war conditions,
to formulate abstraet policies about
such matters as contraband block-
.uuVn. These policies most be act
ually tested in order to- see how
they work. ' Both reversod them
selves In tills matter on several dif
ferent occasions. This Is interest
ing as a matter of history, but
from .no other standpoint; If- we
are honorable and Intelligent we
will .follow the course In this mat-
tor- which under- existing conditions
at this time seems most likely to
work Justice in the immediate fu
ture. !J
Germany's posllon was that Eng
land had no right to blockade her
so us to cut off her sifpplies from
the outside world, l'resident WilJ
son at the time accepted this view
and talked n good deal about the
freedom of the seas. Meanwhile.
Germany, through her submarines,
began an unprecedented course of
wholesale murder on the- seas
President Wilson protested against
this In language much more jipol-
ogotlc and tender .than he used In
protesting against 'Groat Britain
Iblockudlng Germany In- what was
essentially the same manner in
which we blockaded the south dur
ing the civil war. He put the do
llar above the man snil incidentally
above' the women and the children.
He protested more vigorously upon

Iierson- In a dream. Perhaps some of
the great store of impressions hidden
nwny In your unconscious mind will
come to the surface In a dream In such
a way Unit you will feel that Uiera Is
something mysterious about it.
An old lady once told tho writer of
a dream she had, citing It as a com
plete Justification of her belief in
spirits. While on n shopping tour she
mislaid a valuublo umbrella, and for
the life of her could not remember
what she had done with It. It worried
her considerably, and that night site

go Into n restaurant, hang up the um
brella, and after eating her lunch go

Monarch's Costly Whim.
King Alfonso's ruined palace of Sun
Hdcfnuso nt Ln Granja is ono of the
freaks and one of tile glories of Spnin,
It was a liourhon monnrch who Invent
ed It nt the beginning of the eigh
teenth century. Philip V was out hunt
ing one day and rested at a sunny farm
culled the Grunge, occupied by monks,
The monks had humored tho moun
tain upon whoso slopes the fnrmbouso
was built nnd hud, made their beautiful
gardens conform- to1 tho ways of tho
irlnnt. i
Hut the king compelled the moun-
tnln to obey him. He blasted smooth
places on precipitous slopes, curry
ing uway thousands of tons of earth
nnd Rtones, nnd from the valley be
low he brought up miles of fertile
earth to form new fields and gardens.
Ily the time he had finished creatlfig
n new landscape and tilling Uic new
Versailles with tho best picture his
taste suggested, Philip was ready to
die In debt to the tuno of 43,000,1)00
pesetas. For that Is the sum -which
the monarch spent on San Ildcfonso.
Borneo Not Yet Civilized.
Although civilisation has made ex
cellent progress In Bomo parts of the
East Indies, bnrbnrous practices by the
natives on the Island of Borneo still
continue, according to O. K. Hoey, a
merchant of Pintnvin, .Tuva. He said
that traders who -visit Isolated sections
of Borneo found It necessary to re
main constantly nlert ln order te guard
against littacks hy Dynks, who, how
ever, are gradually being -driven farth

Then, we finally went to war with

ward neutrals like HolUud exactly
the position which President Wil
son has been denouncing England
for adopting toward Germany and
toward us. Our action in this
aase was quite right, whereas our
protest' against- England's action
had been entirely wrong. ',
President Wilson - now proposes
to accept the German view and '
provide a system which, If It had
been in existence in 1914, would
have meant the inevitable and rap
id triumph ' of Germany. ' If this
particular one of the proposed 14
points had been in treaty form
and had been lived up to in 1S14.
Germany would have had free ac
cess to the outsldu world. Eng
land's fleet would - not have en
ubied her to bring economic pres
sure to bear upon. Germany, and
doubtless Germany would have won
an -overwhelming victory within a
couple of years. Therefore, Mr.
Wilson's proposals is that now.
when no human being run foretell
whether Germany will not feel
chastened1 and morally changed, we
shall' take steps-which will - meun
that If the- war has to be fought

have been secured In advanco, so

England before the outbreak of

Whatever- our views prior to the
greut war, we are fools indued if
we have not learned the lessons
these last four and a half terrible
years have taught us.
The freedom of the seas la tho
sense used by Germany and Mr.
Wilson would have , meant the en
slavement of mankind to Germany.
It would have meant that this
country would at this time either
be lying prostrate under the feet
of German invaders or bo purchas
ing peace by runsonis heavier than
were paid by Belgium.
No patriotic American has tho
right to stand quiet and Bee the
president of the country try to
bring upon us such outrageous
potential disaster as would be- im

adoption of the so-called "free
dom ot the seas."

' "My stomneh has given me so much
trouble for the past eight or nine
years," he continued, "that I was all
the time taking something trying to
get some relief. My food didn't seem
to digest at all, and my stomach was
in such a bad fix that if I leaned
against my desk I would almost cry
out with pain. I tried doing without
meats, and lived on a diet of the
very lightest things, but neither that
nor anything else helped me. Finally
my back got to hurting me so across
my kidneys, and I got so tired nnd
worn-out thnt I would have to lay
off some days and rest up. I was
troubled with constipntaion, and fre
