GARRISON ON ROOSEVELT'S
IRAIL FOR TOO MUCH “GAB”
Washington, Aug. 26.—The propriety of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt’s speech at the military training camp at Plattsburg, N.
Y., yesterday, in which he attacked the President and declared
the United States should have helped Belgium in the war, may be
made the subject of an investigation by Secretary of War Gsrrison.
Asked whether e had taken any action in the matter, the Secre
tary loday stated that he had not yet gathered all the facts, and
until he had done so he would not make any statement regarding
the matter. He indicated that he was getting the facts as fast as
possible.
The action of Major General Leonard Wood, in charge of the
camp, in inviting the former President to address enlisted men
and officers in the 'arm, it Wa§ reported, may be taken up. The
War Department is actinz, it was stated, because President Wilsou
is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and an attack on
him before enlisted men may have serious results.
The investigation which Secretary Garrison is making may be
a broad one. 1t is understood that at least six army officers have
made speeches at Plattsburg in which they touched upon lack of
preparedness of the United States and upon the European war.
In speaking of these subjects, they violated an order of the Secre
tary of War that such matters should not be mentioned by any
army officer at any time. It is also believed they violated Presi
dents Wilson’s order to maintain the strictest neutrality.
When an injuiry was made at the White House today as to
whether any action would be taken regarding Roosevelt’s speech,
Secretary Tumulty referred all questioners to Secretary Garrison.
Berlin, August 26.—The Associated Press is in a position te
state on the best authority that the Arabic incident may be consid
ered as eliminated as a source of discord between Germany and
America, or at least it is regarded by the German goverment in
that light.
Moreover, Germany, in her desire to continue friendly with
the American nation, had adopted, before the sinking of the Ara
bic, a policy designed to settle éompletely the whole submarine
problem, as affecting America, on a basis of good will and mutual
understanding. - _
This is shown clearly in a statement made by Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg last night to the Associated Press, particularly
by his concluding remark to the effect that not until the circum
stances in connection with the sinking of the Arabic were cleared
up would it be possible to say whether the commander of the sub-

The greatest influence for thrift and prospenty in any
community is a well conducted bank. Business character s
moulded by association with it. The officers of the First
National Bank always aim to cultivate the closest relations
with its patrons and its policy has proven of mutual benefit
in many ways. The newspapers carry many schemes that
promise great returns from a few dollars invested, which in
fluence the small saver to withdraw his earnings from the
banks to invest. We advise caution on the part of all who
contemplate such a move. There are only a few except
ionnal cases where small sums are invested safely, and which
pay more than a reasonably good return. Good bargains, as
a rule, never go begging. Your money in the bank is safe;
you may add small sums from time to time, or withdraw any
part of your savings in case of need. ' Security is the first
consideration when you save for the future.
Money in the bank is more than money—it is a char
acter. The man with the bank account is seldom out of
work. His thrift is recognized. Itmakes him a good work
man. If a man is to be sclected for promotion—the man
with the bank account is apt to be chosen. He is looked
upon as a reliable man, he is a good citizen. This bank
solicits the accounts of wage earners, farmers, merchants and
all others who wish to become thrifty. It does not matter
how small your first deposit may be, it will be none the
less appreciated. Start an account today with

marine went beyond his instructions. In this event he said Ger
many would give the United States complete satisfaction.
‘ During his conversation the Chancellor twic2 referred to the
instractions given submarine commanders. He did not specify in
detail their nature, but it may be said that they are designed to
prevent a repetition of the Lusitania case and provide for the es
cape of American non-combatants upon torpedoed ships. ‘
¢
Having given the instructions, Germany asked sus pension' of .
judgment in the Arabic case until all the facts are ascertained.
The Chancellor is confident that it will be shown that the sinking
of the Arabic was not an ufprovoked assault without warning, but.
attributable either to a min# explosion or to some action of the Vesa
sel herself. Should it de\?elop. however, that the submarine acted.
contrary to instructions, ample reparation will be offerrd.
Germany is still unable to understand why Americans travel
on belligerent ships, instead of taking neutral steamers, but since
they in some instances insist on traveling on belligerent vessels
Germany will do her utmost to provide for their safety.
It is not permissable to quote the remarks made by the Chan
cellor, other than his formal statement- It may be said, however
that he showed genuine interest in the state of feeling in the
United States and expressed the hope that Americans would net
form an opinion based on the conflicting statements of one side,
He spoke with emphasis of Germany’s desire to maintsin friend
ship with America.
