 TO pHENAYED President Hibben Says No Place in U. $. for
 Hyphenated Loyalty. PREPAREDNESS IS WAR PREVENTATIVE Points to Invisible Army of Swiizer. land, Mobilized in IS Hours. Which Has Saved That Country from
 Belgium's Fate.

Buffalo, \. Y, Dec. 4.--Presdent versity applied the term "traitor' tv the "hyphenated" citizens of the United States at the close of his speech Un national prepar dness for war before the University club of Buffalo here this evening.
 "Let us not shrink from calling things by their right name,' he said, "and therefore let us brand as trai- tor whoever lives in our r<iast enjoy ing the protection and prosperity of our country and yet dares to express by word or deed the spirit of hyphen- ated loyalty There are welcome and room within cur borders for all sorts and conditions of men, but no place and no quarter for traitors.'
 Mir. Hibben said his interest in pre- paredness did not date from the pres ent war, but started in May, 1893, when he and other college presidents agreed with Gen. Leonard Wood to cooperate in the establishment of summer officer training camps. Ii war started, he said, young colleg~ graduates would volunteer freely and "it is like hideous nightmare to think that under the possible circum- stances of a sudden surprise of an invading enemy these young men would be led 10 slaughter like cattle to the shambIes.'
 Drawing the lesson of preparedness from our history, he commented:
 "For lack of trained troops, thou sands and thousands of Our young American citizens have been truly sacrificed and warfare needlessly pro- longed in every conflict in which our country has been engaged.'
 As to the question, Against whom shall we prepare? he said this lodges the question. for if we wait until we know definitely who our enemy is, that enemy will find us defenseless and will overwhelm us before we have time to prepare.
 "The true pacifist," he continued, "is one whose counsel makes for peace and therefore I hold that he who urges a policy which will leave our nation shorn of her strength and a prey to any envious and covetous people, has no right to call himself a pacifist-a maker of peace. His way is the way of war-war which is resisted means disaster and death; if not resisted means shame and servi- tude, the loss of liberty and the sur render of our birthright.
 Invisible Swiss Army.
 "It happened that I crossed the western frontier of Switzerland on the first day of August, 1914, and was compelled to travel towards the east ern frontier in the Engadine valley during the time of the mobilization of the troops. The invisible army or Switzerland came into being within AS hours. On the first day of August there was no evidence of any military organization in the country; then within four days between 400.00 and 500,00O troops were cn the border, guides from the mountains, men from the shops and stores and fields, from all of the industrial pursuits of the country, and they remain there to this day defending their land from the incursion of any foreign foe. If Switzerland had not been prepared to fight for peace, that country would have met the same fate as Belgium and Poland.
 "Thera is nc country in Europe that gives as little impression of military display as Switzerland, and no coun- Try better prepared to defend it's borders against the devastation and disaster of war. For our own coun- try it. is possible for us to follow d similar policy. We too, can have within our midst if we choose an ln- visible army, men having some traning in military affairs and yet not withdraw from their daily activi- ties and pursuits"
