this thrilling drama of life "over there." He is so intensely human,

ROOSEVELT ON THE
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
In his daily editorial in the Kansas
City Star, Col. Theodore Roosevelt
comments as follows on President
Wilson's recent message.
The President has in admirable lan-
guage set forth the firm resolve of
the American people that the war
shall be fought through to the end
until it is crowned by the peace of
complete victory. He states unequi-
voaally that our task is to win the
war, that nothing shall turn us aside
from it until it is accomplished and
that every power and recource we pos-
sess will be used to achieve his pur-
pose. He states that there shall be
no peace until the war is won. He
says that this peace must deliver, not
only Belgium and Northern France,
but the peoples of Austria-Hungary,
of the Balkan peninsula and of Tur-
key in Europe and Asia from "the im-
pudent and alien domination of the
Prussian military and commercial
autocracy." He emphatically states
that we have nt> purpose to wrong the
German people or subject them to op-
pression, but merely to prevent others
from being oppressed by them. He
states that if Germany persists in ad-
herence to her present rulers and
their policies it will be impossible,
even after the war, to treat her as
other nations are treated, but that al-
though we intend to right the wrongs
inflicted by Germany on other na-
tions, we have no intention to inflict
similar wrongs on Germany in return
He says that the mind of the Rus-
sian people has been poisoned by the
rulers of Germany, exactly as the lat.
ter have poisoned the minds of their
own people.
To all of this the heart of the
American people will answer a devout
amen. The message is a solemn pledge
on behalf of this Nation that we rV.ll
use every energy we possess to win
the war, and that we shall accept no
peace not based on the complete over-
throw of Germany. The Ameri in
people must now devote themselves
with grim resolution and whole-
hearted purpose to the effective
translation of this pledge into action
for, of course, the sole value of such a
promise lies in the manner in which it
is actually made good. The people
must back the government in e/eiy
step to carry into effect this pledge
and must tolerate no failure in any
official charged with the duty of car-
rying it into effect.
I shall shortly discuss the propo-
sals of the President in reference to
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. But
in this editorial I wish merely as one
among the -ountless Americans to
whom the honor and welfare and high
ideals of America are dear, to say
amen to the President's expressed
purpose to wage this war through to
the end with all our strength and to
accept no peace save that of complete
victory.
