COMPLETE VICTORY
IS T. RS
DEMAND
Dissolution of Turkey and Aus
' tria Held Necessary for
World Peace.
PLEA IS MADE FOR BELGIUM
Ex-President Outlines Scheme for
Placing? of Small Nations After
Power of Germany Is
Overthrown.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5. Theodore
Roosevelt, speaking here tonight at a
"'National service" mass meeting under
the auspices of the Mayor's committee
on National defense, declared the only
peace which will make the world safe
for democracy must be based upon the
complete overthrow of Germany and
the dissolution of Austria and Turkey.
Included In the programme he outlined
were a free Arabia and Armenia, Po
land and Lithuania, with an independ
ent Czech commonwealth and a Jugo
slav state.
"Continually we hear rumors of
peace," he said. "I think the circula
tion of such rumors is injurious to
America and to. the cause of decency
end democracy. We should make it
clear they understood that the con
duct of Germany has been such that we
regard as enemies of mankind all peo
ple who would strive to bring about
a peace based upon treating Germany,
Austria and Turkey, on the one hand,
and the allies on the other, an stand
ing on a footing of equality. The only
peace that will make the world safe
for democracy is a peace basd upon
the complete overthrow of Germany
and the dissolution of Austria and
Turkey.
"Turk Must Be Driven Out."
'X'nless we have used the phrase in
a. hypocritical and insincere manner,
this is the way to make the world safe
for democracy, and the only way, and
this means that the only peace we can
accept is the peace of overwhelming
victory. Turkey's conduct toward the
Armenian and Syrian Christians has
been such as to make It evident that
the Turks must not only be driven out
of Kurope, but the empire destroyed.
Give Arabia freedom, give Armenia
freedom. Establish a free city at Con
stantinople and keep the straits abso
lutely open for the Russians and every
one else.
"Restore Italian Austria to Italy and
Roumanian Hungary to Roumania.
"As for Belgium, she is not only en
titled to restoration, but to the heaviest
kind of Indemnity. Let France have
Alsace-Lorraine; let Poland include the
whole Baltic coast, to which she is en
titled. Let the English and Japanese
keep the colonies they have won.
TJ. S. Aaka Nothing.
"As for the United 6tates, we wish
nothing except to have it clearly un
derstood that the Monroe Doctrine is
to be upheld in the future as in the
past. South of the equator this doc
trine can be left to Brazil, Argentina
and Chile, who are strong enough to
maintain it and whom we will aid in
maintaining it only when they so desire.
"Peace should come along the lines
thus roughly indicated. Then do what
ever treaties and agreements can do to
make the peace permanent and mini
mize the chances of war in the future.
But avoid folly and hypocrisy and do
not make believo that any paper
scheme will bring the millennium or
abolish all chances of future war. Aft
er we have done all we can do by
Hague conferences and arbitration
agreements and treaties, let us profit
by the lessons of the last three and a
quarter years and remember that all
these things taken together will be an
utterly insufficient safeguard for peace
against alien aggression.
"There is but one permanent method
of securing safety for this Nation, and
that is by training our strength in time
of peace, by preparedness; and the only
effective preparedness must rest on a
principle of universal obligatory train
ing for all our young men."
18th annual convention in rtgrular session
assembled, in the city of Sacramento. In
speaking a message of calmness and toler
ance to all citizens of our land during this
great war crisis: therefore, be It
Kesolved, That we ask for Robert M. La
Follette the greatest right of all democracy,
a right to be heard, a right to express the
views of an intelligent minority, for on
this rock Is founded all liberty.
Resolved, That we convey to Senator La
Follette our confidence in his integrity and
loyalty as a true American citizen, even
though he differ with the great body of
labor and our people on some questions of
the war.
The labor convention also approved
resolutions urging organized labor to
strive for the success of the second lib
erty loan and endorsing the sugges
tion of President Wilson that the edu
cational system of the country be lib
eralized by the inclusion of studies of
social and economic questions, "bear
ing directly on the problems of com
munity and National life."

STRIKE UP TO GOVERNMENT
GoTcrnor Lister Says Ho Intends to
Keep Hands Off.
TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 5. (Special.)
Hope that the shipbuilding strike will
be satisfactorily settled by the Federal
representatives in a short time was ex
pressed today by Governor Lister, who
was in Tacoma.
"The ship strike now is entirely in
the hands of the Federal authorities,"
said Governor Lister. "The State Coun
cil of Defense and myself are leaving
the matter to them, realizing that
should we attempt to intervene it would
result in confusion rather than in assistance."

that German money had been used to
influence Congress, was complet
ed today in one short ses
sion and a report will be made
tomorrow. In effect, the report is ex
pected to repeat what Mr. Heflin has
said many times that he has no di
rect evidence of wrongdoing against
any member of Congress and that
there is nothing to investigate.
The Alabama member told the com
mittee, in answer to questions, that he
never knew of any member obtaining
German money, denied that he ever said
he had heard rumors that they had
gotten it, and said that his suspicions
against members were aroused by the
character of the proposals they intro
duced in Congress.

Whereas. The great body of the American

Whereas. The long years of experience and
deep friendship between Senator La. Follette
and organized labor, in whoso cause no

MALVY DENIES TALE
Ex-Minister Asserts He Is Vic
tim of Slander.
OWN COURSE IS DEFENDED
Press of Right Party Is Accused of
Campaigning Against ex-Chief
of the Interior De
partment. PARIS, Oct. 4. (Delayed.) The
charges made against Louis J. Malvy,
ex-Minister of the Interior, by - Leon
Daudet, a newspaper editor, were de
nied by M. Malvy in his statement in
the Chamber of Deputies today. M.
Malvy announced that he had been
slanderously accused of abusing his
position as Minister, to betray the
country.
The ex-Minister of the Interior said
that M. Daudet had called on Andre
Maginot. then Minister for the Colo
nies, and accused Malvy In the pres
ence of Maginot of going every week
to Vaucresson, a suburb of Paris, to
meet a German agent. M. Malvy de
clared that he never had gone to Vau
cresson. M. Maginot arose and ex
plained that when Daudet visited him
he had declared himself absolutely sure
of the information he produced.
Suspicions Are Aroused.
Declaring that he wished to put an
end to tho "almereyda legend," M.
Malvy said that he had never been on
ntimate terms with the editor of the
Bonnet Rouge. He explained that as
Minister of the Interior he was anx
ious to preserve order without resort-
ng to violence. Fof that purpose, he
obtained the co-operation of the Bon
net Rouge, which seemed to exert corns
nfluence in certain circles. A year
later, he said, his suspicions were
aroused regarding the Bonnet Rouge
and he reported the matter to M.
Briand, who was then Premier.
M. Brian-d arose and said that toward
th end of 1916 he noticed symptoms
of a peace campaign in certain news
papers. He used the censorship in act-
ng againt them and gave M. Malvy
certain information be had on the new
tendency of the Bonnet Rouge. . He
said he charged M.' Malvy to watch the
men connected with the Bonnet Rouge.
Malvy Accuses .
'I know he had them ..ned," said
the former Premier. "I must declare
that M. Malvy, far from hesitating,
gave orders to smite with the greatest
severity."
M. Malvy defended his conduct dur
ing the strikes in May and June, amid
noisy confusion, and accused the press
of the Right party of campaigning
against him. He. concluded:
'My conscience tells me 1 have done
all my duty."
Premier Palnleve asked the Chamber
to let justice accomplish its duty. He
promised the Chamber that M. Daudet
would have to prove his charges con
tained in the letter to President Poin-
care. The Chamber then votea conn-
dence in the government.

PUPILS TO HAVE TRUTH
Bulletin on German Government to
Be Issued for Teachers.
EUGENE. Or., Oct. 6. (Special.)
Superintendent W. R. Rutherford, of
the Eugene public schools, announced
today that he will issue a bulletin to
teachers telling them just what to give
the pupils as the true nature and
actual working practice of the German
government. This action is to be taken
as the result of the discovery yester
day that paragraphs in Carpenter's
Geographical Reader of Europe were
incorrect.
"I think it will be well to issue a
bulletin to all teachers whose work in
any way touches this subject, whether
they use this particular book or not,
for practically all textbooks, on ge
ography as well 3 the reference works
we depend upon are more or less mis
leading on that subject," Mr. Ruther
ford said. "For instance, the Encyclo
pedia Brltannica says, 'The Reichstag is
elected by universal suffrage.' The
International Encyclopedia says. The
Reichstag consists of representatives
chosen for a term ' of five years by
direct universal suffrage,' and it makes
no reference to property qualifications
for voting."

held no malice or hatred against the
labor unions which raised the money
to prosecute, his case, and. in speaking
of the alleged plot said:
The plot was conducted in Grayvllle,
111., in the hope of preventing mo from
appearing further against the bomb de
fendants and in the hope of obtaining a
new trial for Mooney. I have names
and all other facts in connection with
tne conspiracy.
"Union men all over the country con
tributed to the fund that was used to
prosecute me. They would never have
done it if they had known the facts
of Mooney's guilt."
