WILSON OUTLINES
PREPAREDNESS
PLAN FOR NATION

New York. Nov. b.---President
Wilson's plans for national defense
are before the nation. He Ia now
waiting TO hear what the country has
to say concerning them. His views.
outlined last night before the Map
haitian club. are expected TO develop
criticisms from both the advocates Of
a large army and navy and the pa
cifsts." but, on the other hand, the
presidents friends hope for approval
by n majority OF citizens.
Declaring his firm belief that
America will never take another foot
Of territory by conquest. the presi-
dent went on record as declaring the
ambition Of the United States is mot
only to be free and prosperous our
selves but also TO be the friend and
thoughtfuI partisan OF those who are
free or who desire freedom the
world over"
His defense policy scontemplates
defense---not war.
The army increase he outlined as
follows:
An increase In the regular army
to meet required duties In our in
sular possessions along the United
States borders and at interior posts.
Training OF 100000 citizen SOL
dlers In the next three years In an
nual contingents of 133. 900, expect
cd to enlist for three years with the
colors and three years on furlough,
but actually undergoing intensive
training only few months each
year. .
No subordination Of the national
guard.
without going into detail as to the
navy plans. he pointed out that part
OF the problem OF this arm OF de-
Tense Ia to mobilize the resources OF
the nation at the proper time. He
declared his belief that the navy
plans. already partially made public,
are plans which the whole nation
can approve with rational enthusi-
asm.'' iE .
Taking fling at "hyphenated
Americans" the president aroused
q wild demonstration Of approval,
"The only thing within our own
borders." he said that has given US
grave concern In recent months has
been that voicos have been raised In
America protesting to be the voices
Of Americans which we're not indeed
and IN truth American. but which
spoke allen sympathies, which came
from men who loved other countries
better than they loved America. and
had forgotten that their chief and
only allegiance was TO the great gov
ernment under which they live"

Deaths Near Saude.

Ole E. Natvig died at his home near
Saude Friday morning July 2, 1915, at
the ripe age of 50 years.
Mr.. Natvig was one of the earliest
settlers of this county, and was one of
those sturdy, earnest, upright and hon
ored citizens, whom all look to with re-
spect and confidence. The funeral was
held Monday, July 5, from the Luther
an church at Saude.
We had expected notes for a more
detailed history, but it failed to reach
us. The sympathy of all is extended to
the family.
Nicholas Borloug, son of John Bor-
loug, Saude, Ia, was called Friday
morning to that celestial home beyond
the grave. Mickey, as he was gener-
ally known, was, up to months ago, a
strong robust young gentleman, full of
life and lnanliness. A bright future
was vividly pictured by the minds eye
of the deceased, until the appearance of
that fatal disease, consumption, which
soon sapped the vitality and life from
this fine young man. He was % years
old. The funeral was held Monday af-
ternoon at Saude, Rev. Bleken officia-
ting. The sympathy of all go out to
his father. .-Lawler Dispatch.

At the meeting of the Iowa Demo

president Emmett Tinley called upon
attorney M. X. Geske, of McGregor for
an address. In introducing him to the
club Mr.. Tinley said that Mr.. Geske is
the type of man that Iowa Democracy
needs. and he expressed the hope that
his modesty would not prevent him
from being seen more prominently and
heard more often in Democratic gath
erings. Although the invitation to
speak came to Mr.. Geske unexpectedly,
he acquitted himself with great credit
and made a remarkable impression on
his auditors. He speaks distinctly,
pleasantly, intelligently and persuas-
lively. Mr.. Geske was the only speak
er from the fourth district and no dis
trict in the whole state was more ably
represented. DEBORAH Journal.

Great Ball Game.

The ball game between Waukon and
Cresco on the home grounds Monday
afternoon was one of the most interest
ing and exiting games ever seen here.
The game went twelve innings and was
won by Waukon 4 to 8. Cresco started
out like whirlwind, and it looked as
though they would have everything
their own way. They made four or five
hits and two scores in the first inning.
After this they could do nothing until
the twelfth, when they got one. Wau-
kon took four whitewashes and in the
fifth beautiful two-base hit by Mat
ter drove in two scores. Wankon could
do nothing more until twelfth, although
runners were the bases every inning.
With the score standing to 2 in favor
Of Cresco, Sickmier made hit which
sent two runs home and won the game.
1t was thrilling game from start to
finish and gave Manager Robey's team
high place in the affections Of the
fans. Lyons and Donegan formed the
battery for Cresco. o.-Waukon Journal.

Elna Banker Dies Suddenly.

Maurice Despres of Elma, Iowa, sen
ior member of the M. Despres & Sor

day evening. He had not been real
well for some time, but the end came
when his family and friends little ex.
pected it. The cause is given as the
hardening of the arteries.
With the assistance of Mrs. Despres,
he had mounted the stairway of his
home and had laid down on the bed.
Mrs Despres went down stairs, but re-
turned shortly. She thought him
asleep, but upon closer examination,
found that his spirit had gone. He was
dead.
Mr.. Despres had lived at Charles City
for years and from there moved to Chi
cago. When his son, Sam, bought the
Elma bank he came to that place, which
until death remained his home. He is
survived by his wife and three sons

At the Biz Tent West Of Court House

We desire to make the evangelistic
effort now in progress most definite,
helpful one-reaching the unconverted,
winning the lost, reclaiming the wan
derer and backslider, and helping tc
deepen the spiritual life of the believ-
er.
We wish the effort to be a veritable
crusade for truth and righteousness as
against error and sin.
We will, therefore, endeavor to pre-
sent with force, clearness and simple
ity, the great fundamental truths of the
religion of Jesus Christ, dealing with
the bible questions which today con-
Germ all mankind, and about which SO
many people are at sea. We will also
study prophecy, which confirms divin-
ity, sanctions inspiration, proves the
messiahship of Christ, establishes faith,
strengthens hope and quickens love,
thus leaving no loophole for sophistry;
skepticism or infdelity. This move
ment is part of a great campaign
which is being pushed in every state in
the Union and in thirty-seven foreign
countries. We have operated with
tents in America for over half a CEN
tury, and are yearly spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars in the extern
tion of the principles of the everlasting
gospel. The series of addresses at the
big tent will be Of general benefit, and
we therefore desire the presence of all,
cordially soliciting sympathy and CO.
operation. Note this weeks program.
