"Tho men seemed to feel that the rep- resentatives of the Salvation Army in Europe were particularly useful be- cause they went out among the .men even Into the front line trenches and gave them hot drinks and a kind of whole hearted encouragement which made their days and nights of trial much easier. "I hope your present campaign may be successful In order that the work which has been so splendidly started may be carried on without Interruption." WEDDINGS. O'CONNOR DU "vTVTER.

The law requires only tno witnesses to tack the last desree of legality to a marriage ceremony, but the Marriage Chapel In Brooklyn's Borough Hull hod Its capacity tested yesterday when James Harvey Hart, retired Jewqller and real estate operator, who had confessed to 86 years of life as a Brooklynlte, stood up and said "les without tremor to all the questions tho,t made Miss Katherine wolf, u manicurist, IS years of age, his bride. Apparently th couple anticipated trouble over the bride m age, because she brought along her mother to connvlnce the clerk who made out the murrlago licence that tho bride to bo really was a year or two older than she looked. Mr. Hart likewise had difficulty convincing the clerks that he was sixty-eig- years the senior or the blond young woman, While the papers were being Piled In Mr. Hart walked spryly up anil down the office of City Clerk James V. Scully with a tight hold on the arm of Miss Wolf. As . roon ns the license formalities were over. Mr. Scully led the bridal couple Into the marlage license bureau nnd performed tho ceremony without more ado. When It wns nver, the bride's mother edged her daughter and son swiftly past the company of re porters. For many years Mr. Hart was the owner of a Jewelry store at Fulton and Jchn.on streets, but he retired from that business neveral years ogo to outer the real estate field, from which he also re tired three years ago. He Is reputei tn be wealthy and has lived nt 1 South Elliott place for many' years. There last night relatives of tho aged bride groom refused to discuss the marriage In any way, or even to euy where the couple had gone on their honeymoon, Miss Wolf lived with her mother and brother at 33SA Irving nvenue, Brook lyn, but there tho brother said he faw no reasmi to discuss how his sister met Mr. Hart.

UNROOT ALSO HITS OUT Wisconsin Man Asserts This Country Will Not Tolerate Further Muddling. Wisconsin's loyalty pledge to tho Union, United States Senator Irvine L. Lenroot, said a few downright things before the National Security League at tha Metropolitan Opera House last night about the fighting of the U. H. A., the necessity of abolish- ing the whole Hohcnxollern crew be- fore there can be any talk of peace and the purpose of the people to demand that hereafter there shall be) honest and eff- icient expenditure of tho public's money In war preparations. Tho man from Wisconsin did not mines words In discussing any of these cardinal topics. He said that if Ger many wins in lEurope, beats France mid 'Italy and cripples England the United .States will keep on fighting on land and In'sea and air, and will keep on and on to that last fifteen minutes of which tho Old Tiger of France has spoken.' Ha said that anybody who talks about the wisdom of peace nego, tlatlons before the Kaiser and his set are driven from power Is a traitor. He said that the airplane, ship ping und, ordnance programmes have been failures, and that the people were in no mood for further incompetence. He eald thero had been too much boast ing and too little doing. He cyttln gulshed O eore;e, Creel and the Commit tee on Public Information with a phrase. Ilia Speech Left No Doubt. Out In Wisconsin, somo people used to sniff at Lenroot's patriotism, saying mat beroro wo went Into tho war he eeemcd none too keen about interfering with German alms ; but no one who heard his speech before 4,000 persons last night had a doubt as to tho stuff he Is made of. It was Interesting not only as signifying the Senator's purpose to work and talk for war to Mm nmsn no matter what tho odds may be, but us Indicative of the determination of the Republican party in Congress to fight administrative Incompetency and to de mand that tho people shall know the truth. That determination flashed all through the speech. Some speakers, even united States Senators of Intellectual repute, would have been unfortunately placed In com lng after Elihu Root on one of those oc casions when Mr. Root's mind mills big Ideas, but Senator Lenroot's speech did not suffer even by comparison with the ringing patriotism of Mr. Roots ad dress. Tho two Republican statesmen. the elder and tho younger, fixed and held the attention of the thousands. Mr. Root began by asking the ques tlon : "Is the Uovernment of the United States too weak to maintain Itself In the presence of this great emergency?" That Is the Question that must bo an swered, he went on. If the men In the trenches are properly to be supported He thought It was) a question that must be answered with the determination that will outlast all discouragement, all doubt und pessimism. Two Ways Out ef It. There are but two ways out of It," ho continued. "One, humiliation, ro- - treat and slavery, for It will bo slavery, Tho people of Russia have found out what It meant to yield to Germany The people of the Ukraine are finding out to-d- what It means to yield to Germany, and If we retreat. If wo sur- render, we will learn what It meanB to become a people subject to the arrogant and brutal power of that military caste, It seiks to dominate the world by force of arms. "And the other way. The other way la by the power of the manhood of this 100,000,000 people: by the unstinted ufo of the wealth that wo have been piling up In our security for this century nnd almost a half; by the exerclfv of that In dividual strength nnd morale which has been nurtured and brought to maturity by generations of life and freedom to go on with men, money and arms. lth courageous determination and dogged- - ness. Irretlstlble onward power, we can win tho victory on the battlo field over Germany. 'We must bo one. To do It impulses of all our hearts must move In the same direction. To do It we must each one be willing to surrender all minor Im pulses and motives and desires and have but one overwhelming purpose In life till this war Is won, and that purpose is to help our country to win tho war, He that lias any other, the woman o man who has any other purpopo or mo live or desire that overtops that great patriotic desire. Is a trltler and a das tard. "Wo are going to elect a Congress till coming fall. There Is ono great slnsle predominant qualification for an elec tlon to that Congress, and that Is a loya heart. I don t care whether a man Is a Democrat or a Republican or a Pro gresnlMi or a Socialist or Prohibition 1st ur what not, he must have a loynl hait or It is treason to scud him to Congress. There are probably from twenty to thirty Congressional districts in thi: country where there sn loyal majority. hut where there Is so large a jiisloya minority that n dlwtlon of the loyal ma Jorlty may let a ti In.

"Tho great thing Is to mako Germany feel that tho hundred millions of Amer lea aro going ns one man to beat them, to mako every American feel that all tho rest of the hundred millions nrc with him In tils mightiest efforts to beat the German."

Stanwood Menken, saying that 'for many months prior to our en- try Into the war the league was a voice crying In the wilderness. He continued : Nothing that Germany may do upon the western front will win tho war for her. Even though she could drive the allied armies Into tho sea, though she may sweep through France and take Paris, she would not win the war; for America knows now that which most of us merely believed a year ago, that tho very existence of our Republic, de- pends upon tho outcome ot this war. The German autocracy must be defeated and overthrown, or popular government not only In America, but throughout the world, must perish. 'America must therefore resolve, and I believe that America has resolved, that whatever may befall Europe, liberty and civilisation must be kept safe In Amer ica ; that wo will light on European soli with our allies and win thero If we can : that wo will send them men aa fast as we can train and equip them, and pro- - iie snips to transport them; but even If we shall fall over there, we will con- tinue to defend ourselves here, wa will continue to fight Germany on the aea, under the sea and. In the air. To Fla-a-t With Every nesosroe. We will fight with every resource at our command until German autocracy Is overthrown, for so long aa that sur- vives there can be no peace. Any treaty with ths present Government of Germany would not be peace, but only a truce, a truce to be broken at the will of the Kaiser, another scrap ot paper to be torn up whenever It suited his pur pose. "Tho best service America can render the world to-d- Is to resolve unalter ably that there shall be no negotiated peace with the present Government of Germany; that before we will offer or consider any terms of peace we must have assurances that the German Gov ernment will be reformed ; that at the least there shall be such a parlia- mentary system on England enjoys. We should make a plan that we will not consider any terms of peace with the Kaiser, who has violated every law, human and divine. The record of twelve months In the way of war preparation Is not alio. gether Inspiring. The Incompetency In carrying out our aircraft programme Is disheartening. The record of tho first six months of our shipping programme W something that we do not llko to UiInK about. The delay In securing heavy artillery wo deplore. Tho record of the lost twcho months In these regards must not ho repeated. We will not tolerate It. It will not be rrneated because at last we are beginning to recognize that publicity Is of greater value tn prepar ing for a tight than the concealment of our plans of preparation from the enemy.

Back of Gift Is Story of Official Saved From Gut-

ter by Lattlc.

Permission has been granted the Salvation Army to eTect two booths on thefloor of the Now York Btock Exchange,from which literature concerning thearmy's drive wilt be distributed andcollections made. Yesterday's totalamounted to more than $48,000. It I

expected tho Indorsement given to thecampaign by the Htoolc 1 Exchange andby J. P. Morgan te Co. will add considerably to the collections of the remain-ing days.

The Barber Hteamshln Comoanv sentIn a check for $1,500. Accompanyingthe check waa a letter which atatedthat the company "recognised the Sal-vation Army among the most potent ofthe agencies for relief, now accomplish-ing real war work among our troops."

in connection with this there Is anInteresting story. In the company thereIs an official who eighteen months agowas rescued from the gutter by AdjtCrosby.

Ship Captain Saved.This official was formerly a shin's cap

tain, earning $280 a month. He hadserved the Ilarber company well in thiscapacity until ha began to drink. Theresponsibility of his occupation necessitated his Immediate discharge andhaving lost his position he became evenmore addicted to drink. He was foundwandering aimlessly on the Bowery byAdjt. Crosby, who put him to work Inthe Salvation Army Building.

when he had been there a number ofmonths she went to tho officials of thesteamship company and asked that theformer captain- - be reinstated. Finallythe request was granted, and eighteenmonths ago he was taken into tho officesin a clerical position. To-da- y he isearning 3800 a month.

Testifying to the work that the salvation Army Is doing In France, a tetterwas sent to headquarters by Guy Emerson, publicity director or the LioertyLoan Committee. This letter said incart :

"I thought you might De interested toknow that In receiving the fifty IVrshlnsveterans here In New York last week Iheard a great many fine things fromthem with regard to the work of thsSalvation Army In France.

Appreciated by Soldiers."Tho men seemed to feel that the rep-

resentatives of the Salvation Army inEurope were particularly useful be-

cause they went out among the .meneven Into the front line trenches andgave them hot drinks and a kind ofwhole hearted encouragement whichmade their days and nights of trialmuch easier.

"I hope your present campaign maybe successful In order that the workwhich has been so splendidly startedmay be carried on without Interruption."

PACIFISTS CALLED

DASTARDS 8Y ROOT

Former Senator Makes Hinging Speech for Prosecution

of War.

UNROOT ALSO HITS OUT

Wisconsin Man Asserts ThisCountry Will Not Tolerate

Further Muddling.

Wisconsin's loyalty pledge to thoUnion, United States Senator Irvine L.Lenroot, said a few downright thingsbefore the National Security League attha Metropolitan Opera House last nightabout the fighting ofthe U. H. A., the necessity of abolish-ing the whole Hohcnxollern crew be-

fore there can be any talk of peace andthe purpose of the people to demand thathereafter there shall be) honest and eff-icient expenditure of tho public's moneyIn war preparations.

Tho man from Wisconsin did notmines words In discussing any of thesecardinal topics. He said that if Germany wins in lEurope, beats France mid'Italy and cripples England the United.States will keep on fighting on land andIn'sea and air, and will keep on and onto that last fifteen minutes of which thoOld Tiger of France has spoken.'

Ha said that anybody who talksabout the wisdom of peace nego,tlatlons before the Kaiser and hisset are driven from power Is atraitor. He said that the airplane, shipping und, ordnance programmes havebeen failures, and that the people werein no mood for further incompetence.He eald thero had been too much boasting and too little doing. He cyttlngulshed O eore;e, Creel and the Committee on Public Information with a phrase.

Ilia Speech Left No Doubt.Out In Wisconsin, somo people used

to sniff at Lenroot's patriotism, sayingmat beroro wo went Into tho war heeeemcd none too keen about interferingwith German alms ; but no one whoheard his speech before 4,000 personslast night had a doubt as to tho stuffhe Is made of. It was Interesting notonly as signifying the Senator's purposeto work and talk for war to Mm nmsnno matter what tho odds may be, but usIndicative of the determination of theRepublican party in Congress to fightadministrative Incompetency and to demand that tho people shall know thetruth. That determination flashed allthrough the speech.

Some speakers, even united StatesSenators of Intellectual repute, wouldhave been unfortunately placed In comlng after Elihu Root on one of those occasions when Mr. Root's mind mills bigIdeas, but Senator Lenroot's speech didnot suffer even by comparison with theringing patriotism of Mr. Roots address. Tho two Republican statesmen.the elder and tho younger, fixed and heldthe attention of the thousands.

Mr. Root began by asking the questlon : "Is the Uovernment of the UnitedStates too weak to maintain Itself Inthe presence of this great emergency?"That Is the Question that must bo answered, he went on. If the men In thetrenches are properly to be supportedHe thought It was) a question that mustbe answered with the determination thatwill outlast all discouragement, alldoubt und pessimism.

Two Ways Out ef It.There are but two ways out of It,"

ho continued. "One, humiliation, ro- -

treat and slavery, for It will bo slavery,Tho people of Russia have found outwhat It meant to yield to GermanyThe people of the Ukraine are findingout to-d- what It means to yield toGermany, and If we retreat. If wo sur-render, we will learn what It meanB tobecome a people subject to the arrogantand brutal power of that military caste,It seiks to dominate the world by forceof arms.

"And the other way. The other wayla by the power of the manhood of this100,000,000 people: by the unstinted ufoof the wealth that wo have been pilingup In our security for this century nndalmost a half; by the exerclfv of that Individual strength nnd morale which hasbeen nurtured and brought to maturityby generations of life and freedom togo on with men, money and arms. lthcourageous determination and dogged- -ness. Irretlstlble onward power, we canwin tho victory on the battlo field overGermany.

'We must bo one. To do It impulsesof all our hearts must move In the samedirection. To do It we must each onebe willing to surrender all minor Impulses and motives and desires and havebut one overwhelming purpose In life tillthis war Is won, and that purpose isto help our country to win tho war,He that lias any other, the woman oman who has any other purpopo or molive or desire that overtops that greatpatriotic desire. Is a trltler and a dastard.

"Wo are going to elect a Congress tillcoming fall. There Is ono great slnslepredominant qualification for an electlon to that Congress, and that Is a loyaheart. I don t care whether a man Is aDemocrat or a Republican or a ProgresnlMi or a Socialist or Prohibition1st ur what not, he must have a loynlhait or It is treason to scud him toCongress.

There are probably from twenty tothirty Congressional districts in thi:country where there s n loyal majority.hut where there Is so large a jiisloyaminority that n dlwtlon of the loyal maJorlty may let a ti In. Inevery one of those districts Democratand Republicans .and all loyal menshould get together ond tueree upon tholoyal man of ono party or the other whIs the surest to carry the district undall unlto on him without regard to party

Parlies Are Subordinate."Any man who would not uccept that

Idea and follow It I would want to llvi hundred years to vote and work

against htm. Human nature, has notchanged. There are going to be. parties, going to be politics hereafter, hutnow they arn subordinate, they urn u:iImportant. The ono thing only is to wnthe war and put men In Congress whowill represent the driving jiower of theAmerican people, the driving power thaIs behind Congress, that Ih behind theAdministration and that, God grant, mamake Itself felt behind the men who areputtering over contracts und lingeringon the road to victory.

"Tho great thing Is to mako Germanyfeel that tho hundred millions of Amerlea aro going ns one man to beat them,to mako every American feel that alltho rest of the hundred millions nrc withhim In tils mightiest efforts to beat theGerman."

James W. Gerard, former Ambasbadorto the German Empire, reod resolutionwhich subsequently were adopted withn roar of ayes.

president, H. Stanwood Menken, sayingthat 'for many months prior to our en-try Into the war the league was a voicecrying In the wilderness. He continued :

Nothing that Germany may do uponthe western front will win tho war forher. Even though she could drive theallied armies Into tho sea, though shemay sweep through France and takeParis, she would not win the war; forAmerica knows now that which mostof us merely believed a year ago, thattho very existence of our Republic, de-pends upon tho outcome ot this war.The German autocracy must be defeatedand overthrown, or popular governmentnot only In America, but throughout theworld, must perish.

'America must therefore resolve, andI believe that America has resolved, thatwhatever may befall Europe, liberty andcivilisation must be kept safe In America ; that wo will light on European soliwith our allies and win thero If we can :

that wo will send them men aa fast aswe can train and equip them, and pro- -

iie snips to transport them; but evenIf we shall fall over there, we will con-tinue to defend ourselves here, wa willcontinue to fight Germany on the aea,under the sea and. In the air.

To Fla-a-t With Every nesosroe.We will fight with every resource at

our command until German autocracyIs overthrown, for so long aa that sur-vives there can be no peace. Anytreaty with ths present Government ofGermany would not be peace, but onlya truce, a truce to be broken at the willof the Kaiser, another scrap ot paper tobe torn up whenever It suited his purpose.

"Tho best service America can renderthe world to-d- Is to resolve unalterably that there shall be no negotiatedpeace with the present Government ofGermany; that before we will offer orconsider any terms of peace we musthave assurances that the German Government will be reformed ; that at theleast there shall be such a parlia-mentary system on England enjoys. Weshould make a plan that we will notconsider any terms of peace with theKaiser, who has violated every law,human and divine.

The record of twelve months In theway of war preparation Is not alio.gether Inspiring. The Incompetency Incarrying out our aircraft programme Isdisheartening. The record of tho firstsix months of our shipping programmeW something that we do not llko toUiInK about.

The delay In securing heavy artillerywo deplore. Tho record of the losttwcho months In these regards mustnot ho repeated. We will not tolerateIt. It will not be rrneated because atlast we are beginning to recognize thatpublicity Is of greater value tn preparing for a tight than the concealment ofour plans of preparation from theenemy.

Mast Have Less Boasting."Wo must have less boasting about

what we are going to do and more doingof what wo. should do. Congress tpowerless to prevent Incompetency andwasto of money. All that Congress canlo Is to provide the means with whichto rr..secuto tho war, and through itscommittees Investigate the expenditureswhich It uuthorlzen. Tho result thenmui-- t rest with the executive departmentof tho Government, with tho Americanpeople. I say with tho American people,because when Incompetency and wasteare permitted to exist the force ot public opinion l tile only remedy.

'Publicity In our preparation for waruuu of the best aids that President

Wilson can have. We have assumed toplace upon lilm du tie's und responslbllities tli at no living man could possiblyhimself perform. Ho must act throughothers, and the American people demandthat the men selected by him bhall bothe bct that the country has. Whenever nnd wherever he has made Incompetent selections the fact should bemade known to him and to the countryho that ho may rerlaco them with otherslit for the Job.

'I regret to say that the official Commlttee on Public Information, as ntpresent organized cannot be relied upon;nd that It no longer enjoys the confldence of the public as a means of transmilling reliable Information as to ourwar preparations."

There's just one way toget the jump on the wea-ther! Buy your straw hatnow!

But as a matter of pre-caution may we suggestthat you make sure of yourdealer. You have perhapsread in the newspapers thata lot of last year's strawsare pretty apt to turn up as"new" --carried over stuff.

Don't look for them here;it's long been our policy tostart with a .clean, tresnstock. Besides, any hatterwill tell you that there's noway of keeping old stockfrom becoming "yellow."That's how you tell!

As always, we plannedearly and bought liberally;had our orders in sixmonths ago.

The result is here to-da- y

and incidentally about 80are the comfortable, flex-

ible kind that take theshape of any head withoutconforming.

An abundance of styles,including plenty of "extrasmall" brims for menwho've had trouble gettingthem in the past.
