PLAIN SPEECH TO AMERICANS. By Telegraph—Prese Association—Copyright New York, February 1. Mr. Roosevelt, in an address at the Brooklyn Institute, declared that a year ago the German Government had been notified that it wonld he held to strict accountability if German submarines sank passenger ships and murdered non-combatants, but in contemptuous defiance of that 'warning Germany had repeatedly been the aggressor. The .victims of the submarines numbered thousands. Whether tho acts wero perpetrated by German, Austrian, or Turkish submarines, they all represented the contemptuous desire of Germany to give the United States _ a chance of crawlingly recanting. "With fine words it was now announced that America was Koine; td accept money, to kiss the bloody hands of the murderers and play their game against the nations. America would have behaved more valiantly and. righteously by trying to free Belgium. He denounced the suggestion to boycott the export of war materials and to serve despotism against democracy, tyranny against freedom, and wrong against right.
