PATRIOTIC VIGOR IS LOST 'Many Americans Hare Become Lovers of Ease Kather Than Ixiv- ers of National Honor," Statea- man Tells New York lawyers. WATERTOWN, N. T., .Tun 3. Sec retary Lansing before the (Jefferson County Bar Association here scored critics of the Administration's foreign policy who would have It do more than has been done in the negotiations aris ing from the war and replied to those who complain the United States had been more vigorous in Its dealings with Germany than with Great Britain. "The violation of the National right f life Is a. much more serious offense againsf an individual and against his Nation." said Secretary Lansing, "than the violation of the legal right of prop erty. Can you doubt for a moment which one gives this Government the greatest concern?" That there was an influence in Amer ica and even in Congress which put right of property and right of life on a. par. Secretary Lansing declared, showed that ' the "great heart of the republic, is threatened with fatty de generacy through those who have lost their patriotic vigor: that many Amer icans have become lovers of ease rath er than lovers of National honor." Mr. Lansing said: Task Great to Meet Situation. "The great war has caused so many conditions which are entirely new that It has been no easy task to meet and answer them. The relations between neutrals and belligerents were never more difficult of adjustment. It was never harder to preserve neutral rights from invasion by the desperate oppo nents in the titanic influence in which the power if not life of the great em pires of the earth is at stake. "The peoples and governments at war are blinded by passion: their opinions are unavoidably biased; their conduct frequently influenced by hysterical im pulse which approaches to madness. Patience and forbearance are essential to a neutral in dealing with such na tions. Acts, which under normal con ditions would be most offensive, must be considered calmly and -without tem per. It is an extraordinary situation and requires extraordinary treatment with a due regard for the mental state of those who are straining every nerve to defeat their enemies and to that end using' every possible means to weaken them in their industrial as well as their military power. "In a nutshell the situation of our re lations with Great Britain and Ger many and the powers with which we have had our principal controversies is this: Situation Sized tip. "Germany, having developed the sub marine as an offensive engine of de struction, asserts that she cannot, on account of the resulting conditions, conform to the established rules of naval warfare and we should not, there fore, insist on strict compliance. Great Britain has no sympathy with the Ger man point of view and demands the submarines observe the rules of visit and search without exception. "On the other hand Great Britain de clares that on account of the new con ditions resulting from the submarine activity and the use of mines and from the geographical position of Germany, she cannot conform to the established rules of blockade and contraband and we should not, therefore, hold her to strict compliance with those rules. Germany insists, nevertheless, that Great Britain be made to follow the existing law. "Both governments bave the same arguments, based primarily on military necessity, and offer the same excuses lor their illegal acts, but neither will admit that the other is, in any way. justified for its conduct. If we admit that the arguments advanced are eound, and I am sure no one will deny that they are more or less reasonable, and submit to changes in the rules of naval warfare, we will be without any standard of neutral rights. Conceding that the rules can be modified by a belligerent to meet new conditions, now far could a belligerent go in changing the ruleB? As it is, under the old rules, neutrals suffer enough when a state of war exists. They should not be further restricted in the exer cise of their rights. America's Stand Defined. "The only alternative is for this Government to hold firmly to those neutral rights which internatlonaltiaw clearly has defined and to insist Vig orously on their observance. In not the slightest, degree can the settled rules be modified unless all the parties consent to tue modifications. If Germany finds it difficult or im possible to conform submarine war fare to the international naval code or If Great Britain finds It equally difficult to obey the rules of block ade and contraband, that is their mis fortune. They certainly cannot expect neutral nations to submit without re distance to further invasion of . their rights. "This has been tha position of the United btates from the beginning i.f the war. It twice has sought to ob tain mutual consent from the belliger ents to certain changes in the rules. but in both cases 't failed, ani the tsuggest ons were withdrawn. Government Unjustly Condemned. . "A government which places lire and property on an equality would be gen erally condemned, and justly con demed. and yet, .1 regret to say, there are some Americans who do not roal ize this difference. Judging by the let ters and telegrams received in Wash iiU'ton. the number who take this view is larcre. Indeed, it is held by some who sit in the halls of Congress. These people openly complain that the Gov ernment does not exert as much press ure to protect American property as it oocs to protect American lives. xriia meniai amiuae makes one wonder-if the sensibilities of the Amer ican people have become so blunted by materialism that they think as much of the loss of their property as they do of the loss of the lives of their fellow-countrymen. Such an idea is hos tile to the spirit of true Americanism. Yet it exists and is widespread, and must be reckoned with. "With the knowledge that a num ber of citizens prefer to have their meterial interests protected even to the extent of not insisting on our rights, the conduct of our foreign relations is made most difficult. How extensive is this influence no one can say with certainty. That it exists at all is bad enough, for it shows that the great heart of the republic is threatened with fatty degeneracy through those who have lost their patriotic vigor, that many Americans have become lovers of OUCH! and Hoity-toity! Temperament flared up yesterday in the regal Rose Festival Household and burned the interfering fingers of the Rose Festival board. Several days ago the official Rose Festival board beseecbed Mrs. Bruce Stewart (Irene Albee). daughter of Mayor and Mrs. Albee. to be the goddess. Miss Columbia, at the Columbia High way dedication June 7. She hesitated and only agreed after repeated implor ing and long distance telephone calls. well and good! No regal dignity had been dimmed yet. Then, the Rose Festival board, ac knowledging Mrs. Stewart's deference to the board's pleadings, forthwith, and apparently without her consent, elevated her to Royal Maid, to act with Queen Muriel and her royal suite. The appointment was given out to the newspapers and the fact emblazoned in picture and story. But in the meantime Mrs. Stewart had declined and told why. She ex plained she had agreed to be Miss Co- umbia only and that she could not be a royal maid. The maid and the queen had been duly elected by contest: they had earned their honor, whereas, she explained, she had not. It would be a grave faux pas to make her a royal maid. The newspaper presses rumbled off the story of her appointment and ease, rather honor. newspaper presses do not wait for time, tide or readjustments. The festival board was embarrassed. They had mapped out duties for the appointed maid. They hurried to re pair their ill-studied plans and sought Bo bestow additional honor and glory on some of the duly elected maids. But regal dignity is not to -be trifled with with second-choice after thoughts. The Festival board had fig ured without its hosts. The maids were highly incensed, and showed it. The board members did the wrong thing and sought to argue with the royal suite. Hoity-toity! The Festival board members learned what argumentative powers and emo tional explosives lay hidden beneath the royal purple. An exciting hour ensued. There was no "fixing" it. The Festival board had "faux-pas-ed" and the girls told them so in no uncertain way. Finally the board issued a statement after the flare-up and took the blame. Mrs. Stewart, they explained, never had consented to become a royal maid; she had consented to be Miss Columbia only. She was right in her estimate of the occasion. Also, the royal maids, who are about to enter upon their reign with Queen Muriel, also were right. The Festival board erred but to err is human, they philosophized. And anyhow, who are they that they should know regal etiquette! than lovers of National Diplomats' Work Made Difficult. 'This attitude of mind of a nortion of our people as I said increases the difficulties of diplomacy. It is almost mpossible to present a strong and unbending front in a controversy unless a united and determined nation is be hind you. The knowledge that our people are not a unit in supporting a vigorous policy encourages a foreign government to resist our protests, feel ing sure that we must withdraw or modify them. I firmly believe that the American people will one of these days crush out this influence and be come, as they should be, a great united Nation, jealous of their rights and eager to defend their honor regardless of personal sacrifice. Americanism. with all that term implies of patrio tism, loyalty and zeal must be from this time forth the great standing policy of this republic. Let me add lust a word. When the foreign policies of the Government are criticised by honest critics I mean by honest" critics, those who are not in fluenced solely by political considera tions or personal ambitions I often wonder what the critics would do if they had the responsibility. Would they make demands when it was questionable whether they could compel compliance? Would they count the full cost of their action? Responsi bility makes a world of difference in man s point of view. When a few words may plunge this country into war. the man who has the power to utter those words will think a long. long time before he exercises that power. Only the supreme necessity of maintaining the honor of the United States or of defending its independence and the liberties of its people will in duce him to speak the fateful words which may bring death to thousands of his fellow-countrymen and change the destinies of the republic. "Those who are prone to blame the Government because it does not de mand and threaten ought to consider seriously what ' it would mean to the Nation if their wishes were carried out. If they were responsible for the consequences would they give the counsel, which as private citizens, they are so ready to give?" FARMERS ARE IN PARADE NINE BODIES FOUND Packard, la., Wreck Rescue Work Puts Death List at 13. FOUR KNOWN TO BE MISSING IMPRESSIVE SHOWING MADE KEWDERQ VISITORS.

The greatest pa rade ever held In Chicago ended to night arter 130.214 persons, one-sixth of whom were women, had filed through the streets In the preparedness demon stration. The parade was 11 hours In passing. More than 1.000,000 persons are estimated to have witnessed It. The night division was made up largely of militia organizations, which included all branches of the Army, and Navy service. The parade began at 9 o'clock in the morning and did not conclude until nearly midnight. All day long and far Into the night. he marchers, massed from curb to urb. rolled like & tide through the treats. It was as If the great sky scrapers were the banks of a river and the marching thousands, each per- on with an American flag, the waters moving between them. Spectacle la Inspiring. Major-Oeneral T. H. Barry, com mander of the Central Department. U. S. A who sat In the reviewing stand, declared it to be the greatest and most nspiring spectacle he had ever wit nessed. The demonstration Impressed by Its bulk, and by the absence, to a large extent, of the hilarity accompanying most parades. There were no floats, no comic costumes and little of the holiday spirit apparent. The airs ayed by the bands either were patriot ic or military. Patriotic songs were sung. or. hummed or whistled, for few knew the words. They did much bet- er, occasionally, with hymns. Many of the. marchers knew the words of Onward. Christian Soldier." a hymn which seemed to strike the paraders as appropriate to the occasion. A division of clergymen carried off the singing honors they knew the words of every song they attempted, including "Amer- ca and the Star-Spangled. Banner." ' Parade Moves With Precision. The precision with which the parade moved was itself said to be a lesson n preparedness, for It was handled by Captain Raymond Sheldon, of the Reg ular Army, by a system of telephones. The demonstration started promptly at 9 A. M. upon a salute of 21 guns. About per cent of the marchers were women. The first division finished passing the reviewing stand at 12:25 P. M. and was followed by the second division. At 4 o'clock the end was not in sight. A tremendous crowd witnessed the spectacle. As to its numbers, only the wildest guesswork - was posible. Local newpapers mentioned "a million," but in any event they lined the streets throughout the three and one-quarter miles of the route and people were In the windows and balconies wherever available.
