ONE FIRM GIVES $1,500
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.

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."

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.
