FIRE-STRICKEN BADAJOZ REPORTED CAPTURED BY INSURGENTS

"WE CHOOSE PEACE," SAYS ROOSEVELT

STRIKING ADDRESS MADE

AT CHAUTAUGUA COMPLETE ISOLATION FROM WAR

New York, To-day.

America's determination to isolate herself completely from war was emphasised by Pre- sident Roosevelt in a striking address to the summer conference at Chautaugua. Mr. Roose- velt expressed himself as more concerned and less cheerful about international world condi- tions than America's immediate domestic pros- pects.

It was a bitter experience to witness not only the spirit but the letter of international agreements violated with impunty and without regard to the simple principles of honour.
