THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER G, 1918. ROOSEVELTATTACKS IT IIOIiPHF SANGL10UE Ex-President Makes Sthring Talk at Billings, Mont., on Issues Today. STATE SOCIALISM TARGET "There Isn't a ticrman Abroad or a Pro-German at Home Who Does Hot WIsb Success to Townley's Organization," Says Colonel. BILLIXGS. Mont.. Oct. 5. Xearly 10, 000 out-of-town persons were here to day for the programme incident to the visit of Theoaore Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt, escorted from the train to a hotel by a large number of cowpunchers and pioneers, was the guest at a trout breakfast. Following his speech this afternoon, a "chuck wagon" dinner was served. Colonel Roosevelt was. a stockman in Eastern Montana 30 years ago. Mayor Johnson extended a formal welcome to the former President at the trout breakfast. Senator J. E. Edwards, In behalf of Eastern Montana, and for mer Senator Dixon, in behalf of West ern' Montana, and F. B. Connelly, for the Chamber of Commerce, also wel comed Mr. Roosevelt to Montana. After meeting old acquaintances for an hour. Colonel Roosevelt visited the principal points of Interest around the city and spoke to a delegation of wom en at the Methodist Church and to the assembled school children at the Court house. Biar Crowd Hear. Addresa. Tne auditorium, containing 7000 seats, was unable to accommodate those de sirous of hearing his main address this evening- on "War and Patriotism." America cannot afford to accept the lead of any party, nor of any organiza tion calling itself non-partisan, but really acting as a party, which is not first and foremost American and nothing but American, declared Colonel Roosevelt. "There are real and grave causes for complaint among the farmers here in the Northwest," the former President continued, as he read from a paper figures which purported to show dis crepancies in connection with the prices paict for wheat and in freight rates, but, he asserted that "many of the remedies proposed are not only false, but mischievous, and very grave harm may be caused by the character of the agitation conducted by some of the men who profess to be seeking these remedies. "To introduce state socialism as a relief for these conditions would re sult in nothing but widespread damage. Some of the conditions complained of can be met bv state action. There should be Federal control of elevators and flour mills with established termi nal elevators at convenient points. "Slnnle Classes" Attacked. "But I emphatically disbelieve in any party, and especially if that party calls Itself a non-partisan party, which or ganizes a single class against other classes. I object just as strongly whether such a political organization claims to be in the interest of towns people or country peoples, of mer chants, lawyers, farmers or wage- earners. ' "When the Non-Partisan League first apurtred I was inclined to welcome it, and it was with real reluctance that I was obliged to believe that the leader ship that controlled it wa3 of auch i character as to threaten this country with evils analogous to those which came from Bolshevism abroad and from 1. W. W.'ism at home. "Finally, the meeting of the league at Minneapolis about a year ago was turned into a ghost dance of Huns- within-our-gates, and it become evi dent to me that, insofar as they dared, the most prominent leaders - of the league were playing the game of dition and' disloyalty and that they were seeking to acquire power by pandering to and Influencing the base spirit of greed -and envy and ignorance and class hatred. They were trying to do what Lenine and Trotzky have done to Russia. I. IV. W. Leaders Proved Disloyal. "The I. W. W. leaders have been con vioted of disloyalty and yet it was to the head of this organization, W. D. Haywood, that the secretary of the Non-Partisan League wrote, on April 5 1917, a letter in which he spoke of this damned war business.' "There isn't a German abroad, or pro-German at home who does not wish success to the 1 Non-Partisan League as at present controlled, and to the I. W. W." Colonel Roosevelt asserted that the two great issues at this time were to put through the war successfully and insist on thorough-going Americanism. In connection with Germany's pro posal to enter a league of nations. Mr. Roosevelt vehemently declared that un til Germany has been "beaten to her knees and just so long- as Germany is under her present government, to allow her to join such a league would be like asking outlaws, train robbers and gun men to join a Sheriff's posse as guar dians of the peace." Turkey aad nnlparla Targets. "We have a league of free nations now that Is an actual going concern," continued the Colonel, "and inasmuch as we are members of that league, we have been culpably derelict in our duty in not long ago declaring war on the armed enemies of the league. Turkey and Bulgaria. We have wrongfully left our allies to win without our aid, de cisive victories over these two vassal states of Germany." The speaker advocated the recog nition . of the Jugo-Slavs, Armenians, Poles and other oppressed nationalities, as well as the Czechoslovaks, and con tinued, "but we must not expect from such a league more than it can do, lior ourselves promise more than we can perform: and we must never forget that such a league to enforce peace, or league of nations, must be treated as an addition to, and under no circum stances as a substitute for, the pre paring of our own defenses. "Uncle iam must, in the last analysis rely on himseif for his safety and not on scraps of paper signed by others." as is used on the Coast in launching steel and wooden steamers, Is favored by Oregon builders. At the Vancouver plant innumerable little concrete blocks, 2Vj Inches long by 1 inches wide and three-fourth of an inch thick, have be:n cast and are intended to be placed beneath the rods of reinforcing steel. There is a wire running through each concrete block with which to fasten it to the eteel. When the concrete mixture is poured into the forms the blocks and rods be come firmly imbedded in the concrete skin. The work of setting the steel will start this week, the first carload hav ing reached here yesterday. When the steel ia in place the inside forms will be finished and the latter part of the month it is exrrctcd a start will be maSe pouring the concrete. Three of the vassals will be under way at the same time and will be close together in launching and time of delivery. The five vessels, each 100 feet long, are for the Quartermaster Department of the Army and half of their capacity will be for oil carrying and the re mainder for general freight. They are to be propelled by powerful gasoline engines. Oregon Man Shares Record.

A code of general road regulations, effective in all Northwest states, was advocated by speakers at the Oakland conference, and was heartily favored by delegates. The conference was attended by traf fic experts, signal appliance representa tives, auto lens agents and officials on whom rests enforcement of the laws. Safety appliances were demonstrated, and a number of standard lenses were approved as most satisfactory. Chief Johnson was elected secretary of the National association for the com ing year.

The Germans and Austrlans, tha Daily Mall says, are making great efforts to place a new army in Bulgaria in order to hold the railroad to Constantinople. Men are being drawn from 34 German and 12 Austrian divisions in Russia, but the divisions generally are poor in qual ity and weak in numbers. Turkey, concludes the Daily Mail, will be the prize of the army that wins the race for the railroad. (Special.)
