Vents Wrath at German
American Alliance In
vades Center of German
Americanism to Deliver
Himself of Sentiments
By PERRY ARNOLD.
(United Preaa Staff Correspondent)
St. Louis, May 31. Col. Roosevelt
in a speech today flayed, dlssectec'
and excoriated hyphenated Ameri
cana in this city, having the second
largest German-American population
in the United States. The formei
President has seldom been ao vitri
olic as when he denounced the "mor
al treason" of the hyphenates at a
City Olub luncheon.
The "German-American Alliance"
came in for a part of Roosevelt's
wrath. He declared that it and its
branches are composed of people
"disloyal" to the United States Bnd
"unfit for citizenship." He appealed
powerfully for "America for Ameri
cans," lauding in flowing terms
those immigrants who sought politi
cal freedom here and fought and bled
in proving their fealty to the Stara
and Stripes.
The Colonel said. "I stand for
straight Americanism, uncondition
ed, unqualified, and against any form
of hyphenism. I do not mean when
the hyphen la employed as a matter
of convenience, although that should
be avoided. I condemn it whenever
It representa any effort to form po
litical organizations along racial
lines."
Caret Not What Germans
Think of Him.
, Discussing the German-American
Alliance, its eims from published
statements and its warning to lead
ers in the national conventions that
they must deal with the solid German-American
vote, Roosevelt said:
"Such a statement represents mo
ral treason 'to the Republic. The pro
gram on which the Alliance wants
American citizens to vote is one af
fecting Germany, only Germany. I
do not in the least object because it
denounces me. It has denounced Mr.
Wilson almost as often, almost as
severely."

rights when those rights are coinci
dent with the rights of man and humanity."

ANTI-TRUST LAW
NOT ADVANTAGEOUS
TO BUSINESS, SAYS
Wisconsin University Presi
dent Tells Natl. Lumber
Manufacturers It Should
Be Amended to Permit of
Co-operation, Etc.
(By the United Press)
Chicago, 111., May 31. Declaring
the Sherman Anti-Trust law should
'jo modified to permit business in
terests to co-operate and promote,
not restrain, trade, President Chas.
R. Van Hise of the University of
Wisconsin was applauded long and
loud at the opening session of the
National Lumber Manufacturers'
convention here today.
The address was declared particu
larly appropriate at this time, when
business men in all lines of Amcri-
an trade are trying to have the new
Federal Trade Relations Committee
itiven authority to pass on co-oper-
Uive contracts between business con
cerns.
They want the lino drawn between
ulvani'.ageous co-operation and
blighting monopoly.
President Van Hise, who went be
fore a committee of congress re
cently and asked the amending of
the anti-trust law to permit the lum
ber, manufacturers to curtail pro
duction, under federal regulation, to
point which would make it possible
for them to profitably conserve their
forest supplies for future genera
tions, explained his views on this
point. He declared that under pres
ent conditions it might be possible
for an industry to waste its entire
future natural supply to meet a
present demand.
Mayor William H. Thompson open
ed the convert ion. R. A. Long of
Kansas City responded. The annual
address of the president was then
made by President R. H. Downman
of New Orleans.
At the afternoon session Dr. Her
man von Shrenk of St. Louis read a
paper on tests of fire-resistant paints
in which he touched on '.he latest
move of the nation's lumbermen, to
find means for making the nation's
lumber building material non-inflam
triable.

Why Yoin Should Own
Comfort
Service
First, because it is a comfortable riding car. Plenty of room for five
DeoDle: deep, soft cushions; springs made of the best spring steel,
scientifically heat-treated, accurately suspended and balanced. You
will always be comfortable in a Maxwell.
Appearance Second, because the Maxwell is a trim, smart, good-looking car.
Many makers of heavy, high priced cars, as you know, have copied the
general lines, the shape of the body and hood of the Maxwell. This is
more of a compliment than an infringement.
Third, because the Maxwell, being a product of thirteen years evolution, -is
so designed and manufactured that it gives unfailing, consistent and
and satisfying service to thousands of owners.
Maxwell cars are made of the best materials that money and brains can
buy and they are made right. You can get out of any car only what
is put into it
Fourth, because you get everything in a Maxwell that you can get in
any car and you get it for less money.
The answer to this is that the Maxwell is a light car and it is built in
enormous quantities. The Maxwell Co. is one of the three largest pro
ducers of high grade motor cars in the world.
Fifth, because the Maxwell will give you more miles per dollar than
any car built
We say this without hesitation or doubt. It is our honest belief and we
are willing to prove it by Maxwell owners, by comparison with any
other car or by any other way you suggest or prefer.
The Maxwell will please you. We know it will. Let U3 arrange for a dem
onstration and we II take the responsibility of satisfying you completely.

KAISER MAKING LAST SUPREME EFFORT TO
TAKE VERDUN; MILLIONS OF TEUTONS
WILL BE ASSAULTING BY END OF WEEK
-J-
(B th
the United Press)
Tans, May 31. The hundredth day of the world's
greatest battle at Verdun found the German Crown
Prince rushing fresh legions to the front amid the roar
of great guns along the Meuse.
Military experts are convinced that this latest offens
ive, begun Sunday, will be the final supreme effort to
pierce the French lines. The volume and violence of the
artillery fire and the frequency and intensity of the in
fantry attacks eclipse anything seen on a battlefield in
the world's history.
The Kaiser is sending every man he can spare into the
Verdun sector. He is himself expected to be present at
the last desperate assault For the past 72 hours trains
have been unloading divisions from the Russian front.
One of these divisions has already suffered terrible los
ses. ;' : '' '. ' , ,;
The report is current that a large Austrian force is en
rftute to participate." It is believed here that Teutons
umbering millions wFl be hammering at Verdun by the
d or -the week. . ...., ,
