"Tho astonishing feature which utnnds out at the conclusion of tho In vestigation and which Is well calcu lated to ninko patriotic persons shud der with alarm la found in the dis closure of the number of men enjoying tho protection of the government who arc so far unmindful of social duties and obligations ns to openly advocate the most vicious forms of sabotage, particularly In Industries engaged in furnishing war munitions," snys the report of the grand Jury. "Tho activities of these defendants have been directed against what they conceive or pretend to conceive, to be tho misguided attltudo of tho world at largo toward persons not possessed of property, tho result being that this time of general stress and strain has been Belted upon because, as they In sist, tho opportunity was hero nnd now presented to make effective these se cret and covert processes of destruc tion which they traitorously employed while pretending to work. "Boiled down nnd stated In n few words, the propaganda of those defend ants consists of these assertions : 'Wo re going to take possession of the In dustries of this country. 1.

Because we aro In this crisis possessed of the power to put It over.1 "In addition, thcro Is running through all theso endeavors a pro nounced opposition to the support of the war In which this country Is en listed." MICHAELIS ASSAILS WILSON Chancellor Says Statement of War Alms Would Prejudice Questions at Peace Parley. Amsterdam, Oct. 1. Doctor Ml chaells, the German Imperial chancel lor, In a speech to the main commltteo of the relchstng, said that Popo Bene dict's pence proposals wero inspired by moral seriousness, pure Justice and neutrality, which things were lacking In tho reply raado by President Wil son to the pope.

R. CALLED KAISER COLONEL R008EVELT FORCED ARBITRATION ON VENE ZUELA AFFAIR. THREATENED TO SEND DEWEY Former President Reveals Inside Story About Ultimatum Giving Ger man Fleet Three Hours to Leave. Chicago, Sept. 20. Painting Ger many as the arch foe of tho world, as u tuition drunk with power and with the sword as Its God, Col. Theodore Roosevelt on Thursday told tlio Inside story of tho Venezuelan Incident, when, as president he gave Germany three days In which to get Its warships out of Venezuelan waters or fuce a tight with Dewey. The story was told on the spur of the moment at a luncheon given for the colonel at the New Morrison hotel by the local branch of the National Se curity league. Colonel Roosevelt said: "I let Hay write a reasonable num ber of notes. Note writing Is not n form of mental exercise that 1 am tie voted to. Finally I told Hay that I would handle It myself. I told the Ger man ambassador to come In, and 1 said : " 'This Venezuelan business has gono far enough. We don't wnnt to let It come to a point where It will make trouble between our countries. You have your licet down there, and we must have an understanding that you cannot take possession of u single foot of Venezuelan territory.' "He said: 'We won't take per nent possession.' I said: 'Oh. no, of course not, but we arc not going to allow any temporary possession for ninety-nine years or so.' He said: 'Rut I cannot discuss that.' I said: 'I don't want you to discuss It. Just tell your government that In ten days they must arbitrate or I will send Dewey down with our licet to see that you don't take a foot of Venezuelan soil.' "He said: 'But I cannot send such n message. You do not realize what It means.' I said: 'Oh, yes, I do. We're nlonc here nnd I can say It. You are afraid It may mean war.' He snld: 'This Is awful. It will be ter rible for your country ,' and I said: 'Yes, but It will be more unpleasant for yours.' " Then Colonel Rooseovelt explained that he hnd sent Dewey with his fleet to tho West Indies on a "friendly" cruise, and notified rim to be ready to sail at an hour's notice. The Ameri can fleet was then stronger than Ger many's. Englnnd was supposed to bo backing Germany up, but ho paid no attention to England, because he was sure her heart was not in It. In a week the German ambassador called on Colonel Roosevelt and made no ref erence to the ultimatum. The presi dent asked whether the message had been transmitted. Tho ambassador re plied that he had not taken the presi dent seriously, nnd he was sure his country would not arbitrate. Colonel Roosevelt continued: "I said there were three days of tho ten left, nnd that unless I got an an swer within forty-eight hours, Dewey would sail. In thlrty-slx hours tho ambassador called on me and notified mo that his country wished me to ar bitrate between them nnd Venezueln."
