son voiced the nations pride in the
navy and its readiness to cope with
any responsibility, in a patriotic ad-
dress at a civil banquet this after
noon. He declared America asks
nothing for itself except what it has
a right to ask for humanity, adding:
I'VE want no nations property and
question no nations honor. We stand
for that which every nation should
wish to stand for"
Discussing public devotion to am
ideal, he said:
"When a crisis comes to this conn
try 1T is as though you place your
hands on the pulse of a dynamo. This
spirit now broods over the river where
the fleet in anchored. No threat IS
illted against any man or nation This
is just an evidence that the force of
America is lifted for great moral prin-
ciples."
New York, May l7-With his head
hared in a downpom of rain, Wilson
stood on the reviewing stand and
watched thousands of jackies and ma
rines in parade today that was one
of the most impressive professions in
the history Of New York. The presi-
dent was given an ovation and intense
patriotism was manifested by hun
dreds Of thousands standing in the
rain and cheering every flag.
The president arrived early and re-
manned aboard the Mayflower until
nearly time for the land review of the
Jackes from the fleet, then went di-
rectly to the reviewing stand on Fifth
avenue.
The sailors landed at the foot of

Berlin, May II (Via the Hague and

presidents note will draw distinct
line between the sinking of the Brit

lean Gulflight
1t can be stated on the best OF

is concerned, the kaiser's reply will
leave nothing to be desired by the
American government. Every pos
sible reparation will be offered in the
hope of eliminating this phase of the
controversy.

Contraband or No Contraband.
Of the e,543,0OO bales of Ameri-
can cotton shipped to Europe in the
fiscal year ending July 81, 1915, on
ly 242,00O bales went to German
ports. Of course, there was more
that went indirectly to Germany, but
we must remember that a consider
able part Of Germany's normal de-
mand for cotton was exported to
Germany's foreign trade and that
this trade will now be supplied by
other countries. The contraband or
der may almost be termed Infamous
if England does nothing to compen-
safe us for trying to make Southern
farmers bear her burdens, but in
any case to offset the contraband or
der we have CD the greatly increas-
ed demand for cotton for war purA
poses, (2) the increased demand for
American, English, and continental
factories that must supply the trade
formerly supplied by German mills,
together with the fact CD that Ger
many is almost sure to buy and store
up cotton right here in America to
hold until sea trade is reopened.
Even with the contraband order in
effect, therefore, twelve-cent prices
are amply justified, whereas with
open seas to all Europe, cotton would

mense Russian race will be prodigious
To the supremacy Of the Latin race

Anglo Saxon races. Tomorrow, he
believes will be the turn Of the Slavs
| To have Russia as an enemy would
be very disadvantageous. 1t would be
| terrible for Japan to be in disaccord

her assistance Japan could not main
tain peace in Asia. The author Won
ders whether the alliance with Eng

have the right to be treated in Can

we cannot count upon the friend
ship Of the United States nor on the
alliance with England on account Of
these questions of emigration and as
similation.'
Make an alliance with Russia, keep

augment her financial and economic

will ever go to the strong. Remember
| that commerce follows the flag. We
must substitute japanese products in
the markets Of this hemisphere for

| The writer thinks the exhausted
European Powers cannot intervene in
the Orient and the United States is
the only country to be feared in this
connection. He adds: Not content
| with depressing us so unjustly 4
America, the United States will per-
haps cause our policy to fail in China

what point are we to accept this
pressure from the United State?"
The Taiyo Review believes firmly
in trying to keep good relations with
the United States. 1t concludes: III
the United States understands our
loyalty they will do nothing to hurt
our interests; il. on the other hand.
they suspect US they will bring forces

SOLDIERS LETTERS AND

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Hamburg, May THE Museum OF
Hamburg History has begun the col
lection Of soldiers letters from the
front to relatives at home. and the
latter's replies, as adjunct to its
archives connected with the war.
The aim is to get. not the writings
Of officers and the exceptionally well
educated, but the humble comments
Of those who have written without
any expectation that their words ever
would be published, and therefore
were completely unconscious.
The proponents Of the plan want to
get an insight into the patriotic
courage. hate and love Of peasant and
citizen, worker and store keeper by
which they were actuated while at the
front, to know their feelings as they
thought of their homes, their rela-
tives and their families.
