Hits at the Hyphenates.

THE only thing within our own bor-
ders that has given us grave concern
in recent months has been that voices
have been raised in America profess
ing to be the voices of Americans
which were not indeed and in truth
American, but which spoke alien SYM
pathies, which came from men who
loved other countries better than they
loved America, men who were par
tisans Of other causes than that of
America and had forgotten that their
chief and only allegiance was to the
great government under which they
live. These voices have not been
many, but they have been very loud
and very clamorous. They have pro-
ceeded from a few who were bitter
and who were grievously misled.
America has not opened it's doors in
vain to men and women out of other
nations. The vast majority of those
who have come to take advantage OF
her hospitality have united their spirits
with hers as we'll as their fortunes.
These men who speak alien sympa-
thies are not their spokesman, but are
the spokesman of small groups whom
it is high time that the nation should
necessary in America in order that she
should let all the world know
that she is prepared to main
tain her own great position is that
the real voice of the nation should
sound forth Enthusiastically and in ma
jestic volume, in the deep unison Of
common, unhesitating national feel
ing. | do not doubt that upon the
first occasion, upon the first opportu-
nifty, upon the first definite challenge,
that voice will speak forth in tones
which no man can doubt and with
commands which no man dare gain
say or resist.
May | not say, while | am speak
ing of this, that there is another dan.
ger that we should guard against?
We should rebuke not only NANTES
tt tons of racial feeling here in Amer
lea where there should be none but
also every manifestation of religious
and sectarian antagonism
Here is the nation God has builded
by our hands. What shall we do with
it? Who is there who does not stand
ready at all times to act in her behalf
in a spirit of devoted and disinterest-
ed patriotism? We are yet only in
the youth and first consciousness of
our power. The day of our countrys
life is still but in its fresh morning
Let US lift our eyes to the great tracts
of life yet to be conquered in the in
terests of righteous peace Come, let
US renew our allegiance to America,
conserve her strength in its purity,
make her chief among those who
serve mankind, self-reverenced, self
commanded, mistress of all forces of
quiet counsel, strong above all others
in good will and the might of irwin

ern time. All that is needed in order
to bring it to point of extraordinary
force and efficiency as compared with
the other navies of the world is that
we should hasten our pace in the
policy we have long been pursuing,
and that chief of all we should have
definite policy of development, not
made from year to year but looking
well into the future and planning for
definite consummation We can and
should profit in all that we do by the
experience and example that have
been made obvious to US by the mill
tary and naval events of the actual
present. 1t is not merely a matter of
building battleships and cruisers and
submarines, but also matter of max
ing sure that we shall have the ade-
quate equipment of men and NUM-
tons and supplies for the vessels we
build and intend to build. Part of our
problem is the problem of what may
call the mobilization of the resources
Of the nation at the proper time if it
should ever be necessary to mobilize
them for national defense. We shall
study the efficiency and adequate
equipment as carefully as we shall
study the number and size of our
ships, and l believe that the plans al
ready in part made public by the navy
department are plans which the whole
nation can approve with rational en-
thusiasm
No thoughtful man feels any panic
haste in this matter. The country is
not threatened from any quarter She
stands in friendly relations with all
the world. Her resources are known
and her self-respect and her capacity
to care for her own citizens and her
own rights. There is no fear amongst
us. Under the new world conditions
we have become thoughtful of the
things which all reasonable men con-
slider necessary for security and self
defense on the part of every nation
confronted with the great enterprise
OF human liberty and independence.

propose | shall ask for the hearty sup
port of the country, of the rank and
file of America, of men of all shades
of political opinion. | would not feel

legation | owe the country were | not

ty of preparing ourselves to guard and

fathers who struggled to make us an
independent nation.

New York, Nov. 5.-Setting forth
his ideas of what should be done in
the way of rational military prepared
ness, President Wilson last night in an
address at the fiftieth anniversary din
ner of the Manhattan club asked for
support for the administration pro-
gram.
Our ambition, said Mr.. Wilson, is
not only to be free and prosperous
ourselves, but also to be the friend
and thoughtful partisan of those who
are free or who desire freedom the
world over We shall, he declared he
believed, never again take another
foot of territory by conquest, or seek
to make an independent people sub
ject to our dominion. Because of the
great European conflict, said the pres
ident, from one end of our own dear
country to the other men are asking
one another what our own force is,
how far we are prepared to maintain
ourselves against any interference
with our action or development"
Though the mission of America in
the world is essentially a mission of
peace and good will among men, de
clared Mr.. Wilson, we feel justified in
preparing ourselves to vindicate our
right to Independent and unmolested
action by making the force that is in
US ready for assertion.
