" At present, in this world and for the immediate fu ture, it is certain that the only way successfully to oppose the might which is the servant of wrong is by means of right." In these words, Colonel Roosevelt summed up his reasons for advocating military preparedness, in a paper read for him today by Professor Ed Robs of the University of Wisconsin before the American Sociology society. In referring to the civilizations of Belgium, China and Persia, he declared that before these nations were overrun they had men who took toward the realities the same attitude as Dr. Da vid Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford university, California, and Henry Ford, at present entertain. "We have discovered how right liv ing may spread so universally in Chi cago and New York," he said, "that abolish their police forces, then and not until then it will be worth while to talk about the 'abolition of war.' " Roosevelt held the essential thing for a nation to bear mind "is that if an unscrupulous, warliko and militaris tic nation is not held in check by the warlike ability of a non-militaristic and well behaving nation, then the lat ter will be spared the necessity of deal with 'moral and social' values because it will out be allowed to deal with any thing." He scoffed at tie non-militarists as "comic" for failing to see the ex ample of what an aggressive nation can do, as in the case of Belgium. More over, he ridiculed those who hold force is immoral. "If they are right in the theory," he said, "then it is wrone for a man to endeavor bv force to save his wife or daughter from abuse, or to save his children from abduction nnd torture." At the same time, he declared that opposition to armed force is just as logical as opposition to having consta bles, sheriffs and policemen. Salem Minister Will Become Evangelist The Rev. W. G. Lienkaemper, of the Bethany Reformed church, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday and will leave today for Portland where he will tnko up evangelical work. He cnnie to Salem about five years ago under tho auspices of the Board of Home Missions of the Reformed church in order to build up the local ehurch. His work has been very successful here, and tho board now asks him to leave nnd take up social work in Portland. Monday evening, a, reception was tendered him and his wife in the way of a farewell parting. C. Andere.gg, who had charge of the reception, called on Mrs. Hans Tuffli, who spoke in be half of tho Ladies Aid society, present ing Mrs. Lienkaemper wih a sum of money in gold. Speaking in behalf of the congregation, Hans Tuffli ex pressed the regret of the congregation tnnt he should leave for another field of work. John Denny, president of the Heidelberg Guild, also spoke a few ap propriate and fitting words in behalf of the society. A call has been extended to the Rev. M. Denny of Dillon, Kansas, who will enter upon his work in the near future, Two Austrians Accused of Munitions Plot Gary, Ind., Dec. 2t.

(United Press stuff correspondent.) Salonica, Greece, Dee. 10. Tho lust days at Monastir, before its full, were indescribably exciting. Monuatir is really Bulgarian. Talk of massacre wus in the air. While tho Bulgarian guns boomed within earshot of the town rum ors of plans for a general massacre by the Bulgarians of the few remaining Herbian civilians filled the air. The few remaining Serbian civilians were going to massacre tho Bulgarians. The Serbian soldiers wero going to loot the town. Among the Bulgarians wero hun dreds of Bulgarian soldiers, disguised as civilians, who at tho last moment would mobilize in the town and ravage it. All these rumors found believers. Nish. when the German-Austrian army entered Sorbin, decorated with flags of the allies, believing the French and British would come dashing in on trains and stop the German tide. But the days went by and the flags were stained by the rauis and becamo as limp nnd lifeless ns tno nopes or imsu for rescue. Nish finally fell to the Teu tons and the Bulgars with tho bedrag gled flags still hanging. The Herbian folk at Ushkub did the same, usnauo fell with Nish. Monastir had no such feeling. In Monastir. Buliznrian until three years ago, were plenty of folk who would have hung German, Austrinu and Bul garian flags except for the presence of a few Herbinn soldiers who held Monastir with an Iron hand. Through tho nights before the Bulgarians come, they marched the streets in patrols of fours. Herman civilian volunteers stood at all important street corners with rifles. Bulgnriiins found with fire arms were considered spies or trnitors and shot. Tho few Serbians in tho town were lords of authority as long as their little army of two regiments held Bul buno, Fans, 40 miles north of Monastir. On Friday, November 12, wo saw a strange procession pass through the streets. It was a little regiment of Serbian farmers with shovels. In their queer fur coats, woolen stockings and odd hats, they presented a most pe culiar sight. Their long hnndlcd, diamond-shaped shovels took the places of bayonets. The long ragged Hue march ed out of the town. Women and girls ran alongside, carrying baskets of food. A fow miles out they stopped and began to dig trenches under the direction of Serbian officers. This was the first sign that Monastir was in. danger. To the north the lit tle Serbian army was giving way against terrific odds. Sometime soou they would come falling back through the mountain passes and over the farms and hills to these trenches the farmers were digging and here make their last stnnd. The men with the shovels told Mmitistir the whole story. That uight in Monastir the guard wns doTiblcd. t'iviliaus ncre ordered indoors. evio: many ways.

Guns! the faces on the streets told no stories; but you passed Monnstirians who listened ns to sweet music; you passed Serbians who 'listened with fear in. theicr hearts. There were no communiques. Only rumors, signs. Sunday was a bud day. The sound of guus wiis nearer. In the late afternoon wagons begun currying packages from the Bussiun, Italian and French consulates to the station. Tims was the story being told of what wns happening north of tho city. At S went with a correspondent to army I headquarters, We were received by Col. Niketich. He entered the room and I shook our hands. I "What about our going to the front ?" wo asked him. "Gentlemen," ho said, "Iho situa tion is very grave. We have dnno our best but we're falling back. Only two ' regiments are left. They can hold Bill buna Pass nntil tonight. They wit' full back and hold Terlepe two days, then fall back toward Monastir. They can hold Monastir three days. Gentle men, we nre ready to evacuate." We tried to sympathize with him. He 'wouldn't accept sympathy. lie stoini strnight and 'pro'"1. "It's war," he Unid simply, "and the Serbians liuve 'done the bent they could." Then Col. ! Niketich put the censor's murk nn our despatches and ns we started to say eoodbye, he snid: "But. gentlemen, whut about your selves! How will you leave the town?" We said we had hoped to go toward rerlcue. "Don't do that," snld the colonel. "Tou would certainly bo caught by Bulgarian comitndjis. Let mo wain you not to go on the roads outside tho town. We snid goodbye to him ns if we were going to see him again. He snid good bye in the snmo spirit.
