The president says that the precise

tary Of the treasury.
I have spoken to you today, gentle
men. upon single theme, the thor
ough preparation Of the nation to care
for its own security and to make sure
Of entire freedom to play the impair
tial role in this hemisphere and in the
world which we all believe to have
been providentially assigned to it. I
have had In my mind no thought Of
any immediate or particular danger
arising out of our relations with other
nations. We are at peace with all the
nations of the world, and there is rea-
son to hope that no question in con-
troversy between this and other gov
ernments will lead to any serious
breach Of amicable relations. grave as
some differences of attitude and policy
have been and may yet turn out to be.
i am sorry to say that the gravest
threats against our national peace and
safety have been uttered within our
own borders. There are citizens Of the

under other dags, but welcomed under
our generous naturalization laws to the

chosen lines Of national development.
We do more than that. We demand 1t
also for others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for Individual liberty and
free national development to the incl

affect only ourselves. We feel 1t wher-
ever there b a people that tries to walk

Out Of such thoughts grow all our

means of asserting the rights Of a peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fercely jealous Of coercive or dicta-
torial power within our own nation
as Of aggression from without. We

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, OCT. 15, 1915.

The announcement that President Wilson mas dennIte4y decided to place the country in a state Of security will aouptIess be received with approba- ton by every true American citizen regardless of class. The disclosure of the pIu1ul weakness of this great na- ton, ln the matter of military defenses has not been lost and, if the signs are an accurate indication of the real feel ing, the American public are thor oughly awake to the fact that they are over come by either passive waiting or pacific inclinations. The develop ments of the past year have disclosed plainly enough that ethics are but the fiimsiest bulwark of defence in the face of rapacious power. We have wit messed the spectacle of great and sup posedly honorable nations trampling their most sacred obligations into the mire of dishonesty and double dealing under the plea that others are responsible and have also found that deliberate lies are the principal stock in trade of those whom we have been accustomed to respect and honor. All this has been most convincing proof that na- tional safety lies only in the possession of power; in the ability to meet with brand and truncheon the aggressions of any foe that may threaten safety. In the midst of savage ruthlessness naught but the possession of strength can secure immunity from harm;
 the sword and gun are the only things that command respect. All this has been sufficiently impressed upon us that
 We cannot but realize to the full that
 only In the maintenance of sufficient
 strength may we look for safety. The
 argument of your worthy pacihcist
 that the possession of a mighty mill
 tary engine Is the surest guarantee of
 trouble through lessenlng the inclina-
 tion to preserve peace, Is doubtless
 true in a great degree but at the same
 time 1t has been disclosed that a lack
 of military power Is no guarantee of
 immunity from unjpstifable aggres-

 that it is weak Is not restraining
 influence to nations which are con-
 trolled by greed and rapacity and
 which accept the view that that all

 for a weaker nelghbor will restrain
