HUMANITY FIRST" GIS7 OF
 SPEECH AT PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia, May II - Before an audience of 15,OOO people here last right President Wilson in his speech used Humanity First" as the gist of his talk and said there was such a thing as people being too proud 70 fight, and to thrnh first not only of America s but hu- manity's peace, with its healing and eleyaung influences; there is such a thing as being so much in the right that 1t is absolutely unneces- sary to try and convince others by force that 1t is right.
 Many of those present believed while listening to the president that ne was expressing his policy witt reference to Germany and the Lusi- tania affair, but at tho conclusion of his remarks he stated that the impression was an erroneous one and that he had no particular ob- iect in view except to rebuke those who were taking advantage of the strong sentiment raised against Germany In America oy the disaster to raise Cain.

 The west shores of Chilkat inlet, and the Chilkat river arc fast filling up with settlers. There are now 22 homesteaders from the Chilkat river down to the south end of Sullivan island, all of whom are improving their property, and raising veget- ables, small fruits, cattle, hogs, chickens, etc, but there is one great drawback to that fertile country, 1t Las no outlet except by small TOW or sail boat,by which people go te Haines for supplies. This is very unsatisfactory, as bad weather conditions on Chilkat inlet will only allow one to travel at certain times, and again it is very hard to move horses, cattle or machin- cry nv small boat. What is badly needed by the homesteaders there is connection with the Haines road which would only Lt the matter or few miles, as the homeSteaders have cut a road as far as they can, which stretches fOG some miles along he west side of Chilkat in- let, up near Pyramid harbor, but are there stuck on account of q short bit of rough country. Connec- ton with the Haines road would put us in direct communication with that place and Skagway, as the homesteaders could start out at any time, regardless of weather conditions, with their horses and wagons, instead of by the very un- desirable small boat, going as far as Haines with the horses, and from there to Skagway by the large steamers plying up and down the inside passage, and all the produce could be marketed instead of being let go to waste through having no way Of getting 1t out. Again, if the homeSteaders had a road outlet for their produce they would put in much larger crops as they would feel safe In doing so on account of a way of getting it out to put it on the market; also new homesteaders would come in. Some good road connections Is the great need Of this district, which cannot and will not show up in good shape un- til they materialize.
