"AMERICA FIRST"

WASHINGTON, Oct Il, America
first"
President Wilson this afternoon
launched this slogan in a speech before
tho Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, celebrating the 18th anniversary OF
the organizations founding. He declared
himself in favor of ostracizing, through
public opiinon, those who use the might
OF the United States to aid the aims of
another country.
Mrs. Norman Gait, the President 2
fiancee, was present and she blushed
when he said, after calling on the wo-
men to help preserve American neutrality.
You see, 1 have only recently come un-
der the influence to which 1 am now APP
pealing."
In the political conditions which are
near at hand, he said he looked to see
every man called upon to state just
where he stands.
rs it America first, or is it not?" he
asked.
81 am in hurry for an opportunity
TO have this lineup" he said. Let those
who are for America first and all the time
be placed on one side, and those for any
one else be placed on the other side"
He predicted that in the very near fu-
ture it would be necessary in a political
campaign to challenge the loyalty and
patriotism of men running for office.
