President Roosevelt Denounces War At Peace Parley
President Roosevelt Denounces War At Peace Parley
Shaky, dull in contrast and imagery President Roosevelt making a strong plea for peace, in a speech delivered at Chautauqua, N.Y.; Scores of young daredevils dashing down a steep hill at Akron, Ohio. In their soapbox racers in the international derby, and an impressive test by the U.S. Army of Mechanized Equipment, during maneuvers at lake Selkirk, Michigan. Words of President Roosevelt: "I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I seen blood running from the wounded. I seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities that cried. I have seen two hundred limping exhausted men come out of line. The survivors of the regiment of 1000 that went foreward 48 hours before. I have seen children sobbing. I have seen the agony of mothers and wifes. I Hate War."
