ROOSEVELT S FOURTH OF JULY AD
DRESS.
Probably no F o u rth of J u ly address
was ever given t h a t created more fa
vorable com m ent th a n the one given by
Colonel Roosevelt List F o u rth at Forest
Hills, Jjong Island. He pleaded with
th e people for a single sta n d a rd of
loyalty, and argued th a t th e re were
some who were not really treasonable,
according to law, were morally so.
Among other things Colonel Roese-
velt said : “ There can be no half and
half a ttitu d e in this war, and no ho n
orable m an can afford to take such an
a ttitude. We are bound by «very con
sideration of loyalty and goad faith to
our allies, and any opposition to them ,
and any aid given to their and our e n
em y, is basely dishonorable as regards
our allies and treasonable as regards our
own c o u n try .”
He said t h a t th e claim t h a t it was
n a tu r a l for A m erican citizens of G er
m an origin to favor G erm any was " n o n
sense, and criminal nonsense to boot,”
and added, “ E ith e r a m an is an A m eri
can and nothing else, or he is not an
A m erican a t all. We are akin by blood
and descent to most of the nations of
Europe, but w-e are se) arate from all of
them . We are a new and distin c t n a
tion, and we are bound always to give
our w holehearted undivided lovalty to
our flag, and in any international crisis
to tre a t e ie r v foreign nation purely ac
cording to its conduct in tha t crisis. It
is both weak and wicked to permit any
of our citizens te hold dual or divided
allegiance, and it is just as mischievous,
just as un-A merican to d.scrim inate
against any good American because of
his birthplace, creed or p a re n ta g e .”
E laborating on tha t point and pro
testing against the plan to exclude from
American Red Cross unite Americans of
G erm an or A ustrian parentage or des
cent. Colonel Roosevelt said th a t if he
had been perm itted to raise a military
force for service in France m any of hie
officers would have beep chosen from
men of G erm an parentage who were u n
doubtedly Americans.
Colonel Roosevelt severely arraigned
those who eeek to excuse the acts ot
G erm any, “ our em bittered and enven
omed foe,” by saying, “ we woeld be
have in like m a n n e r if we had the op
p o r tu n ity ,” and reviewed th e history of
th e Civil W ar in support of his conten
tion th a t the utterance was “ infameus
falsity.”
“ C o n tra st the b rutality shown to
wards women and children on the Lusi
ta n ia , and scoies of other ships by the
officially directed G erm an subm arines,
with the A labam a’s action 50 year* ago,”
he coutinued. “ Semmes never destroy
ed a veesel w ithout providing for the
safety of the passengers and crew. He
tu rn e d his own officers out of their cab
in to put in th e quartere the women and
children of his foes, and onco when he
bad 700 prisoners and a prize be allowed
th e m to go in freedom on the vessel
ra th e r than to send them to a nearby-
port where there was yellow fever. Com
pare these actions with the methodical
and organized brutality of the G erm an
m ilitary authorities in this war, and
th e n brand with sha m s the American
tra ito rs who seek to aid G e rm a n y by
asserting th a t we, if given tb e chance,
would be guilty of atrocities like those
ebe has com m itted ”
“ IM ore I conclude this speech I wish
to say one word on the in sta n t need of
today, July 4th, Independence Day, the
day on which the Nation was born and
was dedicated to th e cause of orderly
liberty and equal rights for a ll," be
said.
