OOALA, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY,
TEDDY SAYS THOSE WHO
AMERICA ARE
(Associated
Forest Hills, L. I., July 4. Declar
ing that those in America who cham
pion Germany's cause against the
cause of America are guilty of moral
treason, and are in fact, although not
in law, moral traitors, Colonel Roose
velt, in a fourth of July address here
today, pleaded for a single standard
of patriotism and loyalty.
"We are now at war with Ger
many," said Colonel Roosevelt. "For
over two years Germany has heaped
insult upon insult, injury upon injury,
on our people. We did not even dare
to prepare so as to be able effectively
to resent wrongs in the future. Our
supine inaction was partly due to the
folly engendered in our people by the
professional pacifists. But an even
more important factor was the dread
many of our politicians felt, not
merely of the German army, abroad,
but of German votes at home. The
selfishness and shortsightedness of
the American politicians were inde
fensible, and they were due to the
fact that the men who took the lead
in the German-American movement
sought entirely to subordinate the ac actions
tions actions of the country of which they
were nominally citizens, the United
States, to the needs of the country
for which they cared, Germany.
"Now we are at war with Ger

pacifists,, continue to champion Ger Germany's

which we are fighting. This is a moral
treason to the republic, and all who
engage in it are in fact, although not
in-law, traitors who have ,. no fright
longer to be treated as American citi citi-ens.
ens. citi-ens. The time has come to insist
that they drop their dual allegiance,
and in good faith become outright
Germans or outright Americans. They
cannot be both, and those who pre
tend to be both are merely Germans
who hypocritically pretend to be Am.
eiicans in order to serve Germany and
damage America. At this moment
the vital thing to remember about
those half -hidden traitors is that to
attack America's allies, while we are
at death grips with, a peculiarly ruth ruthless
less ruthless and brutal foe, or to champion
that foe as against our allies, or to
apologize for that foe's infamous
wrongdoing, is to be false to the cause
of liberty and to the United States.
"There can be no half and half at
titude in this war, and no honorable
man can afford to take such an atti
tude. We are bound by every consid
eration of loyalty and good faith to
our allies, and any opposition to them,
or any aid given to their and our en enemy,
emy, enemy, is basely dishonorable as regards
our allies, and treasonable as regards
our own country.?
Colonel Roosevelt said that the
claim that it was natural for Ameri American
can American citizens of German origin to
favor Germany was "nonsense,' and
criminal nonsense to boot," and add added,
ed, added, "either a man is an American and
nothing else, or he is not an Ameri
can at all. 'We are akin by blood and
descent to most of the ; nations of
Europe, but we are separate from all
of them. We are a new and distinct
nation, and we are bound always to
give our whole-hearted and individual
loyalty to our flag, and in any inter international

nation purely according to its con
duct in that crisis. It is both weak
and wicked to permit any of our citi citizens
zens citizens to hold dual or divided alleg allegiance,

just as un-American, to discriminate

Anglers have laid so much stress on
the need of exciting a fish's interest by
the look of food that the effect of scene

bite at a hook containing a piece of
fat pork, although the pork does not
ook like any kind of fish that swims
the sea. Why, then, should the trout
be expected to be Interested only In an
artificial "gray hackle?"
It may be heresy In angling to sug
gest that a "fly" should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large a part smell plays In the
food pursuit of fish. Bait, such, as
small crabs, was found and eaten by
the fishes two or three times as rap-
Idly when the shells were broken. Bait

Aluminum Can Now Be Soldered.
The great drawback to the use of
aluminum for industrial purposes has
hitherto been that once broken or
cracked it could be mended only by
riveting or welding, a costly process,
for there has been no way of solder
ing the metal. At last, however, a
solder has been found that seems to
remedy this defect. This has been
tested by the advisory panel of" scien scientific
tific scientific experts In the British ministry of
munitions and reported upon so favor
ably that the comptroller of munitions
has called It to the attention of the
Woolwich arsenal and other munition
makers in England. T
The inventor has not made public
the formula, but states that it lsmere-
ly an alloy of common metals, blended
In certain proportions and applied In
the ordinarv wav with a torch. He
shows a series of photographs of a
large aluminum casting with a great
piece being broken out of it being
patched on, soldered and then filed
down smooth.
For welding aluminum a temperature
of more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit
Is necessary ; 350 degrees suffice for
soldering.

Build Vast Artificial Lake.
A remarkable engineering feat was
recently accomplished in southern
India when the mammoth artificial
lake of Marikanave was completed in
Mysore an Indian state twice as
large as Maryland, ruled by an en enlightened
lightened enlightened and progressive maharaja. It
is 18 miles long and has an area of SO
square miles. The dam thrown across
the gorge 240 feet wide to impound
water that formerly ran to waste and
is now being utilized for irrigating
land that would be otherwise parched
and barren, is 1,330 feet long, 162 feet
high, and 15 feet thick. A weir 470
feet long has been built to discharge
excess water, which, during the mon monsoon
soon monsoon is heavy. The work was initiat initiated

and is a monument to their engineer engineering

Instantaneous Hot Water.
The "thermo-faucet" Is the name
of a new invention designed to
bring a supply of hot water from the
most stubbornly cold spigot within a
few seconds. It Is. a 660-watt elec electric
tric electric heater which is readily at attached
tached attached to the plumbing piping, and
when connected with the nearest elec electric
tric electric lighting outlet heats the water In
the faucet to the boiling point three
seconds after the current is turned on.
The water coming through this heater
Is pure, we are told, and may there therefore
fore therefore beTised "where ordinary tank wa water
ter water would not be sufficiently sanitary."
Hence It should prove a boon to doc-,
tors, dentists, trained nurses, confec confectioners,

SODA WATER WELLES FOUND
it
Is in the Philippines, and Experts
Declare It Is Carbonized by
Nature.
Many queer thlng3 have been dis discovered
covered discovered by the drill since and before
Colonel Drake discovered that oil
could be obtained by the artesian pro process,
cess, process, but the most unique one is that
recently struck in the Philippines. It
is located in the town of San Fernan Fernando,
do, Fernando, on the island of Ticao. At the
depth of 403 feet an enormous vein of
water was struck, with such a gas
pressure that the volume was thrown
80 feet In the air. It was only by ex exerting
erting exerting every possible effort that a
small flood was averted. The flow was
finally checked, however, aad the wa
ter directed out and downward
through two small pipes, through
which it continues to rush with un
diminished force.
Samples of the water taken show
that it is heavily charged with car carbonic
bonic carbonic acid gas and appears and tastes
like ordinary soda water, but analysis
is not yet completed.
The man in charge of the drilling,
who has had 40. years experience in
drilling artesian wells in many parts
of the world, maintains that he has
never seen or heard of the equal of
the Ticao island phenomenon.
WHEN ONE'S LIFE IS SHAPED
Not in the Cradle, But From 12 to 18
Years of Age, Prof. Earl
Barnes Declares.
The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world?' Nonsense; It only
handles the material. The time of the
shaping of life is from twelve to eight eighteen
een eighteen years old; that Is the formative
period. All great educators know
that," Earl Barnes said in his lecture
on Jean Christophe at Pittsburgh. It
was the last of six studies in genius
given by Mr. Barnes before the Uni University
versity University Extension society.
"Nothing Is more tragic than thee re relation
lation relation of genius to professional life,"
said Mr. Barnes. "Genius is solitary
and individual, can never be fulfilled
until it goes out from the routine and
stays out. If genius were respectable,
like you or me, he would be mediocre
like you or me."
Perfect Watch.
When a part of the Shackleton expe expedition
dition expedition to the Antarctic land was ma marooned
rooned marooned at Elephant island they had
only one timekeeper, and it hung over
a blubber stove for four months, in
the smoky atmosphere of a hut wade
of stray pieces of wood, blocks of ice,
odd bits of canvas and an upturned
boat. But this is only a part of Its
history. The watch belonged to the
man who had charge of the motor
sledges, and it was reported that in
the two and one-half years of the ex
pedition this watch was never altered,
never stopped going and gained just
one minute.
The following incident from an Eng
lish paper shows how important a
chronometer is on an expedition of
this kind.
At one period, in order to accom
plish an arduous march, Sir Ernest
Shackelton told his companions to dis
card all their personal belongings. It
was Imperative to march "light." Sir
Ernest himself set the example by
throwing away .50 sovereigns (per
haps, had they been treasury notes
instead of gold he might have retained
them), and everything else went but
six pairs of sox, one pound 'of tobacco
and one pound of cocoa and the
watch.
Bean-Shooter Minds.
Bean-shooter minds is the latest san
ity to be reported. They are the dis
covery of Dr. George Edgar Vincent,
president of the University of Minne Minnesota
sota Minnesota and president-elect of the Rocke
feller foundation.
Speaking on "Crowd Psychology" in
Chicago "a few evenings ago he said,
among other things : "The truth is,
we are so much alike that we bore each
other almost to distraction.
"Some people have tubular minds,
like bean shooters. You load them at
one end and shoot the contents out of
the other.
"Idiots and children are the only
ones you cannot hypnotize.
"A society for the suppression of the
obvious remark would soon fill a city
block."
Fastidious Fox.
Waldemar Eitingon of New York re recently
cently recently presented a live silver fox to the
Zoological society of St.-Louis. The
animal Is valued at $550. The gift was
hurriedly accepted with profuse expres expressions
sions expressions of thanks which are now in a fair
way to be reconsidered and revised.
The fox refuses to eat ordinary food
and rejects practically everything of offered
fered offered it except fresh eggs. And fresh
eggs are 60 cents a dozen in St. Louis,
scarce and apparently looking up.

SOUL'S ENTRANCE INTO BODY
Matter Over Which -Theologians Have
Differed Since the First Time a
Theory Was Advanced.
Dr. Austin O'Malley of New York
has just revived the ancient discus discussion
sion discussion concerning the moment the hu human
man human soul enters the body. In an ar
tide in America he contrasts the two
opposite theories: (1) That of Aris
totle, that the soul Is Infused about
the fortieth day, to which St. Thomas
Aquinas, St. Anselm, Sti Alphonsus
Liguori and most of the medieval mor moralists
alists moralists and theologians adhered. (2)
That the entrance of the soul Is simul simultaneous
taneous simultaneous with the fusion of the single
nuclei in the two parental germ cells,
to which most modern embryologists,
physicians and moralists "give their
adhesion.
Cardinal Mercier.- and some other
great theologians cling to the Aristote Aristotelian
lian Aristotelian theory today, basing their belief
on the idea that not until the body
takes actual human form Is the
breath of life" breathed into it and It
becomes "a living souL"
But Doctor O'Malley and the embry
ologists hold that the earliest embryo
is a human being, therefore a body
with a human soul.

of Germans a count of 4,570,000 white
corpuscles per cubic millimeter has
been made, while a similar count in the
blood of French has shown an average
of 5,500,000; and it Is believed that
other racial differences quite as notable
will be revealed when a wide compara comparative
tive comparative study shall have been made. The
study as suggested would include the
density of organs, viscosity of the
blood, and the general chemical rela relations
tions relations of the various parts of the body.
It is pointed out that the results might
clear up the mystery of the immunity
of certain races to certain diseases, ex
plain the cat-and-dog antipathies of
same races, and show us why certain
instincts and appetites are so persist
ent in various people. Doctor Barillon
foresees that the chemical test of races
woum even greatly ala in shaplng'im
migration and marriage laws.
Steel for Battleships.
Nearly 15,000 gross tons of steel will
be neededxto build the 66 various new
battleships, destroyers and submarines,
bids for the construction of which were
taken by the United States navy In
October. When these are added to our
navy they will make it one of the most
formidable in the world. Some en
lightening statistics regarding these
naval vessels appear in Popular Me Mechanics
chanics Mechanics Magazine. In each of the four
new battle cruisers there will be 15,025
tons of steel ; in each of the four new
battleships there will be 13,761 tons
of steel ; in the 20 new destroyers, 325
tons of steel each, and in the 30 new
submarines, 186 tons each. A hospital
ship and an ammunition ship will need
4,000 tons of steel each; Taking $70 a
ton as the average price of steel at
present, these vessels mean an outlay
of not less than $10,000,000 for the
steel only.
War on Mosquitoes.
The New Jersey Mosquito Extermin
atlon association has asked the legis
lature of that state to appropriate $100,'
000 for prosecution of scientific war warfare
fare warfare on mosquitoes. This sum will be
supplementary to funds provided by
counties, cities and towns in the state
for the same purpose. "Part of the
work consists in drainage of extensive
salt marshes, filling in lowlands, study studying
ing studying the habits of the insects, oiling
pools, etc It is expected that in the
course of the campaign more than 200,'
000 acres of now useless land where
the insects propagate will be redeemed
and made agriculturally available.
Not Like a Church.
The express elevator In one of the
office buildings flew up to the tenth
floor. Nobody called for a floor num number,
ber, number, nobody spoke.
All at once a timid little voice said:
"Mother, please, may I speak?"
"Ui course, aear, way not? an
swered mother.
"O, it Is not here like in church
then. Isn't it?" came the quite relieved
reply.

TEHIGE NOTES
(By the National Woman's Chris Christian
tian Christian Temperance Union.)
GIVE US NATION-WIDE PROHIBI PROHIBITION.
TION. PROHIBITION. Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
who, as everybody is aware, knows
something of government service both
as a navy officer and as a civilian, 'say9
that a first-class government should
standardize its service as do all first first-class
class first-class American railroads. It should
require abstinence from liquor In army,
navy and civil departments, and among
all its employees at home and abroad.
This in the Interests of efficiency and
the public welfare. Scientific experi
ment has proved that the drinking of
an ordinary glass of wine or stein of
beer will lower a man's efficiency to a
measurable degree for 24 houre in
ordinary muscular occupations about 8
per cent on the average. Three times
this amount a day regularly, is cumula cumulative
tive cumulative In its effect. Increasing the loss of
efficiency from day to day. At the
end of 12 days ordinary muscular effi efficiency
ciency efficiency will go down 25 per cent on the
average, and higher mental activity
twice that amount.
Let us raise the standard of citizen
ship throughout all these United
States and all territory under the jur jurisdiction
isdiction jurisdiction thereof by putting prohibi
tion into the national constitution.
LICENSE MONEY NOT NEEDED
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The liquor interests continually re
mind us of the need of license money
for the public schools. The experi experience
ence experience of prohibition states shows the
weakness of that argument. Take
North Carolina for example. Ex-Gov.
Locke Craig is authority for the state
ment that since prohibition went into
effect there has been an Increase in
school enrollment of 20.47 per cent,
and an actual Increased dally attend
ance of 32 per cent. In other words,
since its adoption nearly 21 more chil children
dren children out of every 100 of school age
have enrolled In the schools and 32
more children out of every 100 of
school age have actually been at school
each day.
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC IS THE
CURSE.
"The great curse of the laboring man
is intemperance. It has brought more
desolation to the wage-earners than
strikes, or war, or sickness, or death.
It is a more unrelenting tyrant than
the grasping monopolist. It has
caused little children to be hungry and
cold, to grow up among evil associates,
to be reared without the knowledge of
God. It has broken up more homes
and wrecked more lives than any other
curse on the face of the earth." Car Cardinal
dinal Cardinal Gibbons.
And there will be intemperance as
long as the beverage traffic In alcoholic
liquors continues to exist.
BREWERS TO BENEFIT BY PROHI PROHIBITION.
BITION. PROHIBITION. The sixty or more breweries in the
state of Michigan, which under the
dry law close April 30, 1918, will very
likely be used for the manufacture
of denatured alcohoL The brewers
seem to be taking kindly to the sug suggestion
gestion suggestion of Henry Ford that they thus
utilize their plants. It Is believed that
they can make much greater profit on
denatured alcohol for automobile con consumption
sumption consumption than on beer for human con consumption,
sumption, consumption, and that-inany more men
will be employed.
Every license to sell intoxicating
liquor that hangs in the win window
dow window or behind the bar of an American
saloon today will be a scrap of paper
In ten years. Clinton N. Howard In
the 808th lecture in his home city,
Rochester, N. Y.
"Regulating the private lives of
other people" is one newspaper's esti estimate
mate estimate of what prohibition aims at. Yet
the same Issue contains an account of
the shooting up of a neighborhood and
the beating of a defenseless womamfcy
her drunken husband. Exchange.
"If buttermilk affected people like
liquor does you'd kill every cow."
