Emphasizes Necessity of As

; "My fcllevr Americans, I have come
Jbere tonight to speak first of our un
mediate duty to win this war," Colone!
Roosevelt said at the opening of hit
speech to the throng that packed the
Omaha auditorium last night, ''and
our duty to tolerate in this country
nothing but Americanism, and i also
5 intend to say a few words on the
heed of preparedness as a permanent
'policy. j
"Anybody can be excused from
v miking a mistake, but not if he de
nied having made it or if he makes it
over again. We are fortunate in nav
ing state councils of defense and one
- of the fruits of their usefulness are
the enemies thev make.
"Directing his remarks particularly
for a few moments to the members of
the Grand Army, of the Republic in
the front seats, he said: "I pay spe
cial tribute of homage to the men who
t50 odd years ago proved themselves
wormy in inc great civu war.
Fathers Men of Iron.
; "There were persons then who put
peace above righteousness and they
voted against Lincoln. Ihey wanted
peace and you men of the Grand Army
of the Republic could have had peace
for a few years if you had stopped
fighting and then you would have had
-soother war. Thank heaven that our
fathers had iron in their blood. We
are here tonight because the best men
in the country during the years of
ISol to 1865 counted all things of no
consequence when the national honor
and existence were at stake. ' They
fousfht for a high ideal . - v
"There are two or hree things
necessary . for a nation tf trwouid
count for anything, and the first is
, that it showd be a nation, we De
lie ved that all emigrants should be as
similated to become Americans. The
events of the last four years have
shown us that there is no room in this
country for 50-50 Americans. If
man is an American with a hyphen, he
is only a 50-50 American and in that
case he is not an American at an. in
this connection one of the most strik
ing instances was the German-Ameri-can
alliance; and we had no dea what
mischief it was doing until the war
broke and then we were awakened 'to
the fact that thousands were serving
Grmany at the expense Of America.
. I ! Kill the Snake. '
"We had branches of the alliance in
Kew York that did really comic
-things. In the state of New York, I
am happy to say, that we 'repealed
the charter of the German-American
alliance and I wish to see 4ho con
gress of the United States repeal the
charter of that alliance. They have
disbanded nationally, to be sure, but
wt should kill the snake to be certain
that it will not come to life again. We
do not want any loyalty that is tem
pattd by a loyalty to any other coun
try. We must insist that there shall
be only one loyalty in this land and
that if any man has a feeling toward
iry other land, he should go back to
that land. We should have only one
Ha"? and we should rule out the red
nd black flags of anarchy. In every
country the disorderly elements have
been shown to be allies of Germany.
The bolsheviki and the Industrial
Workers of -the World have done
what Germany wished . them 'to do.
They took German money. Don't f or
iel that the pro-German who thinks
it is not safe to be so 6penly,attacks
our allies and he should be made to
feel that when he attacks our allies,
he attacks us. Some of them jeer at
those who are supporting the war and
some were profiteers before the war.
It was to the interest of profiteers be
fit the war to keep us out of war.
l.:.;e-tenths of the profiteering
stepped with the war.
i Only One Language.
We can afford to tolerate in this
1 country permanently but one lang
uage, the language of (he Declaration
of Independence, the language of
Washington's farewell address and the
Iceguage of Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech,-the English language. I un
derstand that , you here in Nebraska
have made a wise provision that only
English, shall be taught in the pri
mary public schools. '
"I am going to take the liberty of
rpeaking of my ancestors. I repre
sent many mixed strains and I repre
sent the average American of the fu
ture. My Scotch, Irish, Dutch, Ger
rn and Welsh ancestors came here
2o) years ago and became Americans.
- These ancestors intermarried or I
would not be here tonight 'They all
tecame Americans. We can not af
tori to have communities growing tip
n this country as communities of dif-
- l:rcnt spirit and languages. If a man
-s not come here to be an American
(....-en, let him stay way. He does
r :t have to come, but when he does
come, we have the right to lay down
the terms on which he may come.
- Instruct the Immigrant
- 1 hope that we will place quality
above quantity, to the end that any
emigrant who comes here must learn
tc speak our language. We have not
always in the past seen that he be
came Americanized. We should have
night schools where every emigrant
'may learn to speak and read English
within five years, and if he bas not
learned the language in that time, then
send him back to the country he came
from, I hope you will work for 'the
passage of such laws, not after the
war, but now. Our people, are at
"lite-heat of Americanism now.
TV:rt wait for reaction after the war.
..a man who is not ah American, and
'- ,ing else, has any right to be a
t of our American life,- ..'-;;
"If man is a straight American,
f: an irafamy not to treat him as
. X notwithstanding his creed or
.re his ancestors came from. Be-
e the war I had the acquaintance
many Germans and to my amaze
t some were not loyal, but the
jority showed themselves to be as
-1 as any in the land.1 Any Ameri
i who discriminates against a Ger
i who is a good' American is not
; 1 because he forces such a Ger-
r back to those who are aliens in
i land. We should not vent our
'.imlhy ; on wrong (objects. . - t
"I wish congress would pass a law
against the publication of papers in
any except the English language, I
say that knowing well that some pa
pers published in English are just as
bad as they can be. If we read anti
American newspapers, then we are to
blame. We should see that we have
laws which will force all foreign Ian
euaee oaoers to be printed in Eng'
Tish. If we dor not read and think
the ame thouehts. we will turn our
country into a Balkan peninsula where
there are many conflicting languages.
As to Pacifists.
"In the oast many men ' of high
ideals were pacifists who believed that
by passing resolutions they couio
make the meek men live unharmed
by strong and cruel men. We must
know that as the world is now. we
can only win respect when we show
that we are in the right. I don't
care for a good man who is good be
cause he is an anaemic; it is the same
with a nation. If I could have my
advice heeded, I would have a nation
govern its conduct the same as a
high-minded man would govern his
conduct. I will not subscribe to the
doctrine thalf there is one type of
morality for a nation and another for
a man. When I was president I tried
to live up to, that doctrine. I hate
a nation that is a bully. My feeling
is, don't fight if you ean help it, but
if you have to fight, then fight. To
a -young man I would say, 'Don't hit
if you can help it, but don't hit softly.'
Nobody is gratetur for being hit sou
ly. If you do hit him put-him to
sleep 1 ,
"We are in the war. It is 16 months
since Germany went to war with us
and 14 months since we went to war
with Germany. For two months we
were in the twilight. Our troops
are fighting abroad with the allies so
that they won t have to fight at home
without these allies.
This War's, Sumnter..
"The sinking of the Lusitania was
the firing on Fort Sumter in our
case. We not only have our own
grievances, but if there was ever a
war demanded by every principle of
justice, it was this war. It took us
months to realize the hideous horror
of Germany and its vassal states.
If we allow Germany to escaoe with
out punishment for itf misdeeds, we
shall place a premium on internation
al wrongdoing in the future. A more
wanton outrage than the invasion of
Belgium was never committed and
the massacre of the Armenians was
with German connivance. -
' I speak literally when I say life
would not be worth living, for any
man who had to bow the neck to
German conquest. ' Let us be on our
puard in this country lest we say that
Germany can ,not hurt us. We can
hot have a peace that will be n ac
ceptable peace to all parties in this
case,. Any man who tells you that
he wishes to preserve the feeling! of
Germany as well as of Belgium, is
Breaching the gospel , of the devils.
We must fight this war through; we
have no alternative. We must make
sacrifices.
Must Put War Through.
"If, when this war first broke, we
had begun to prepare our strength .
or even when the Lusitania was sunk
Russia would not have broken and
the war would have been over by
this time and an era of peace dawned
tor mankind. We must now insist
that we put this war through.

COLONEL LAUGHS AT STORY
T. R. Declares lias Enough Ginger Left
to Help Lick Hun If He Had Chance.
NOT-SO FEEBLE AS SOME WISH
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is not
ready for the grave yet. He laughed
heartily Saturday night at a pub
lished story which pictured him as
old and feeble. ,
"I think that paper which said I
am feeble wishes I were more feeble
than I am," he chuckled.
"I still have enough ginger to help
lick the hun. if only they would
give me a chance," he added.
Then he pointed to the five-star
service flag on the lapel of his coat,
"Four sons and a son-in-law are
doing their part in the war. I
would like to bevwith them."
ar and a quarter has shown us how
hard it is to prepare for wan when
war comes. VVe have not yet built
any modern artillery. As yet if it
had not been for our allies we would
have been unable to make any head
way against the enemy. I doubt not
that a year hence we will bt strong.
Let us never again expose ourselves
to such humiliation and danger. Let
us prepare; don t let George do it
For Universal Training.
"The law of service should be tfTe
law of life. We should prepare in
peace, not for war. but against war.
Two years ago our pacifists said that
the way to keep out ot war was to De
unprepared for war. We tried the
experiment ana now we are in war.
Some nice, worthy pacifist people tell
us that this will be the last great war.
Four years ago they told us there
would be no more wars. David Starr
Jordan told us one month. there would
e no war and in the next month the
world blew up, but I don't think that
he damaged his reputation very much.
We have found out in this war how a
brutal nation can Wok 'at a treaty as
a scrap of paper. ' ' y '
. "I would have every man between
19 and 21 spend some time training
under the colors. I believe that our
national cantonments are great uni
versities. -I believe that the training
of the young even in time of peace
would make for better citizenship and
for stronger loyalty, to flag and coun
try. That would neither invite war
nor interfere with the pursuits of
peace. I sm asking only that we
adopt what Switzerland has had for
70 years.
"While I was president for seven
and. one-half years not a shot was
fired by an American soldier nor was
an offense committed against an
American citizen, because it was un
derstood that1 it would be unhealthy
to start anything. The surest way
for the mothers of this 'country ti
push their sons against the cannon is
to assure other countries that, they
can wage war against us. .
This an Exclusive War. .
"Let the young men fight Some of
us old men would like to fight. I did
get into the Spanish war, but that was
not as exclusive as the present war. ;
"I read signs about food winning
the war. It will be the men in khaki
that will win the war and it will be
easiet for you young men to. explain
why you went to war than it will be;
to explain why you did not go. The
men who go to the front will make
Americans forever their debtors. !
"When we have gotten through
with this war, let us take to heart the
lessons of the war. Let us remember
our refusal to see the truth when the
truth looked us in the face. Let us
never again be caught as we have
been caught Let us say with Wash
ington that every American shall do
his part tinder arms and make that
service a prerequisite to vote.' ,

past and a future such as no other
