PRESIDENT WOULD
ARM FOR PEACE
Declares for Preparedness
Against Invasion of Country.
ASKS couNTRY's SUPPORT
President Strongly Condemns Wall
From Men Processing To BE
Americana, But Who Love
Other Countries Better.

New York.-President Wilson open
ed the Administration campaign for
it's national defense program in a COM
prehensive and carefully prepared ad-
dress delivered here at the Manhattan
Club banquet.
He declared solemnly that the
United States had no aggressive pur-
poses. but must be prepared to defend
itself, to assume full liberty and self
development" Significantly, he said,
with ourselves in this great matter
we associate all the peoples OF our
own hemisphere" adding that 1--WE
wish not only for the United States
but for them the fullest freedom Of
independent growth and action"
Within year." said the President,
1--WE have witnessed what we did not
think possible, great European con-
f1ict involving many of the. greatest ma
tions of the world. The influences of
the great war are everywhere in the
air. All Europe is in battle. Force
everywhere speaks out with loud and
imperious voice in titanic struggle OF
government and 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 main
tain ourselves against any interference
with our national action or develop
ment."'
The President called upon 'men Of
all shades of political opinion" to rally
to the support of the program. He
said it represented "the best profess
sional and expert opinion of the coun-
try" and gave warning that "if men
differ with me in this vital matter
shall ask them to make it clear how
far and in what way they are inter-
ested in making the permanent inter-
ests of the country safe against dis
turbance."
There is no need for the country to
clared, because it stands in friendly
relations with the world. He spoke of
the United States as "a nation too big
and generous to be exacting, but yet
courageous enough to defend it's
rights and the liberties of its people
wherever assailed or involved
In addition to speaking on national
defense, the President attacked men
who love other countries better than
America" and men who stir up relig-
ious and sectarian antagonism. He
declared that such men should be
"called to reckoning"
Just before the dinner the President
shook hands with all the guests.

AMERICANS KILLED
AIDING WOUNDED
Two Doctors and Their Chauf-
feurs We're With Villa.
FIRED UPON BY GALES MEN
Also informs American Army officers
At Naco That He will Not
Permit the Bodies To Be
Dislnterred.

Naco, Ariz.-Francisco Villa, with
5000 of his troops defeated at Aqua
Prieta by the forces of Gen. p Elias
Gales, Carranza commander there,
reached Naco, the Mexican town
across the border from here, and told
American army officers that four
Americans were shot down by Gales
troops while succoring wounded under
Red Cross flag in front of the breast
works at Aqua Prieta.
The Americans killed were, accord
ing to Villa DIR. r. H Tighen, chief
surgeon of the Cananea Consolidated
Copper Company; his assistant, DR..
Miller, and two American chauffeurs,
J. d. Pylant and A. L. Wilson. Villa,
while formally expressing regret at
their deaths, declined to say where
they are buried He said he could not
permit any bodies to be disinterred,
even to clear doubt that they actu-
ally had been killed.
This doubt was caused by the state
ment of DIR. Frederick H. Wickman, of
st. Louis, Mo-, who dashed across the
line shouting that he was about to be
shot, and afterward declared that he
had seen Drs. Tighen and Miller.
Wickman, however, appeared to be
somewhat dazed from fatigue and from
shock sustained while under death
watch awaiting execution for some un-
known offense.

IS DIE IN FIRE

Fifty Injured When Crowd is
Trapped.
GIRLS LEAP OUT WINDOWS
Old Brick And Wooden Structure
Burns So Rapidly That Most OF
The Men And Girls Have No
Chance To Escape.

New York.-Thirteen men and girls
lost their lives in fire that destroyed
an old four-story brick and wooden
factory building in the Williamsburg
section Of Brooklyn. A search of the
ruins is expected to uncover the
bodies of IL other victims, eight OF
them girls, who were reported as miss
ing. OF the 40 injured in hospitals
many were expected to die, and score
more were less seriously burned and
bruised
The building was occupied by a
candy manufacturing concern and
three firms manufacturing clothing,
whose employees normally totaled 300
but more than third had been dis
missed before the fire started for
Saturday half holiday.
Owners Arrested.
After preliminary investigation by
the authorities, Mrs. Edward l.. Dia-
mond, owner of the building, and her
husband were arrested on charge of
criminal negligence and remanded to
jail without bail. Mr.. Diamond said
he was in the building at the time OF
the fire, but claimed ignorance as to
the cause.
Four separate Investigations are
under way in an effort to fix the re-
sponsibility for the loss of life. These
were begun by the coroner, district at
torney, fire marshal and police depart.
ment.
Main Stairway Blocked.
The flames were discovered shortly
before o'clock by a girl employe OF
the candy factory, which occupied the
ground floor and basement, and were
soon roaring up the elevator shaft,
around which wound the principal
stairway.
There was one other stairway in the
rear of the building, and some OF the
entrapped persons escaped by that,
but before the firemen arrived men
and women were leaping from tho
windows. The flames had swiftly
mushroomed from the elevator shaft
into the fourth floor, and scarcely had
the first streams of water entered the
building when the roof collapsed. The
other floors soon after fell one by one.
The disaster was the worst factory
fire in New York since the plant of the
Triangle Waist Company was burned
out several years ago with loss OF
148 lives.
But One Fire-Escape.
The flames spread so rapidly that
escape for most of the employees In
the building by stairs and elevator
was impossible The only fire-escape
became jammed The flames drove
the frightened men and women to the
windows and forced them to jump. or
the bodies recovered from the ruins.
six were taken from the fire-escape
and four were found hanging out OF
windows charred beyond recognition
Several of these were girls, burned to
death in the sight Of a great crowd OF
helpless spectators.
