Authentic Proof That Americana In
Peril Were Deserted by Their Own
Government Against the Protests of
the Senior Naval Officer Present—
Moat Puaillanimoua Episode in the
Naval Annate of Our Country.
Theodore Roosevelt In a letter to
Henry Reuterdahl, the naval critic,
criticises President Wilson and Secre-
tary Daniels iu connection with the
Tamplco affair, when the American
warships were withdrawn by unlet* of
the Administration. The colonel says:
"You have presented authentic proof
of how the Americans iu peril ut
Tamplco were deserted by their own
governmeut against the protest of the
senior American naval officer present.
You have shown that the government
at Washington had full knowledge of
the danger of the situation through
telegrams from Admiral Mayo sent
by wireless to the navy department
on April 11, 12 and 18. You also
give the telegram of Mr. Daniels of
April lit) directing the admiral to pro-
ceed to Vera Crue.
i.iayo Feared Lose of Life.
"You have shown that Admiral
Mayo made an emphatic protest to
the navy department, stating that he
feared the restllt of the squadron's
leaving would be the loss of American
lives and property. You also quote
the telegrams sent by Admiral Mayo
the following day, containing the pro-
test of the American consul, Mr.
Miller, and requesting authority to
remain at Tamplco. You have shown
that, nevertheless, the navy depart-
ment ou the 21st confirmed Its previ-
ous orders and directed the ships to
leave at once.
"You have shown that the acfmlral
put out into the ocean eight miles
distant, but received a protest from
Consul Miller reiterating his demand
for protection. You then quote the
telegrams and signals of Admiral
Mayo, who, in spite of his orders,
nobly refused to run from the post
of duty while the lives of American
men, women and children were In
danger."
Can't Hide Behind Daniels.
Of the President and Secretary
Daniels the colonel writes:
"President Wilson cannot shield him-
self behind Mr. Daniels, for Mr. Dan-
iels could do nothing that the
president does not order or sanction.
When Mr. Daniels' actions have been
brought to the attention of Mr. Wil-
son, and are not repudiated by him,
they become Mr. Wilson's; and Mr.
Wilson is fully and completely respon-
sible for Mr. Daniels, for all that
he has done and left uudoue.
"The proof is absolute that when
Admiral Mayo was at Tamplco he had
received full knowledge of the rioting j 0f McAdoo shipping law:

sagacity of Josephus Daniels? Then,
why let him handle the millions that
are to be spent on the new navy?
Judging by the signs of War Depart-
ment activity the Administration Is
cunningly arranging to nring the
militiamen home just in time to enable
them to vote for Mr. Hughes.
A train of thought on a one-track
mind has to be composed of shuttle
cars.
Three years ago Woodrow Wilson
was explaining that hard times flere
psychological, but he Isn't trying to
squirm out of responsibility for the
present prosperity.
The disaster to the Memphis caused
very little excitement, Americans be-
ing used nowadays to seeing the navy
on the rocks.
This Democratic Congress has pass-
ed Into history—profane history.
President Wilson's speech of accep-
tance could have been phrased even
more succinctly la the graphic words
of Ross Tweed, "What are you going
to do about It?"
We see by the interviews with the
Mexican commissioners that the cam- |
palgn slogan this year in the Sonora j
bandit belt Is "Thank God for Wood- I
row Wilson."
Mr. Wilson's eulogy of Lincoln at
Hodgenville was more literary but
less sincere than the one he pro-
nounced upon himself at Shadow
Law®.

Pete is a 74-year-old Italian cobbler
with a little shop in the basement of
a Mulberry street tenement in New
York. Until a few weeks ago fame had
never blinked uu eyelash at him and
it looked like "tap, tap, tap," with his

She saw that Pete was a good cob-

he found it. Not only did he persuade
Pete to leave his shop for a while
to work in pictures but Mrs. Ragolli j
as well.
Peter liked working In pictures. No !
young tyro ever worked more enthusi-
astically than he. His ardor was infec- j
tious. No scene that he appeared in ,
required a retake. Pete proved to
be a true actor despite the fact that
for fifty years he had been serving hu-
manity along humble lines.
When you see Pete's honest
wrinkled face in "The Shine Girl'
you'll like him, for he plays his part

We are working every day on that

if the public will give us the money

the business. Manager Dwight Whiting

he steamed away into the ocean, and
that the Americans were rescued by
German and British ships. This a«
tion constituted so grave an offense
from the standpoint of national duty
and self-respect, that any man re-
sponsible for it should be at once
taken out of office.
Facts Made Public in U. S.
"Shortly thereafter tiie facts were
made public in the United States. If
Admiral Mayo had been responsible
and had not acted uuder orders, then
the only proper course for Secretary
Daniels would have been to order his
Instant court-martial, and In such case
the failure to do so would have shifted
the blame at once from the shoulders
of Admiral Mayo to the shoulders of
superiors, President Wilson anil Secre-
tary Daniels.
"Therefore, even if these telegrams
did not exist, even if there had been
no such orders, or those actually Is-
sued by the secretary of the navy
to Admiral Mayo, nevertheless, his
superiors, Secretary Daniels aud
President Wilson, would both have
become fully responsible for the
guilty transaction by their acquies-
cence therein. They cannot, as they

SINFUL MUTILATION
OF FAMOUS SPEECH
We notice that the editor of the
Democratic campaign book, made up
of samples of "Woodrow Wilson's Wit
and Wisdom," has tampered with one
specimen speech by omitting the
phrase "too proud to fight."
This smacks of lese majeste, to say

of omission that we can think of is
that there may also be times when a
