AMERICA FIRST.
WILSON SLOGAN
PRESIDENT, IN ADDRESS, ASKS
LINEUP OF NATURALIZED
CITIZENS.
OLD SYSTEM
WANTS A SEPARATION OF THOSE
THINKING OF OTHER coUN-
TRIES BEFORE AMERICA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. "A demand upon ali
Americans on pain of ostracism to be
more neutral in regard to the Gu
ropean war; to take their stand for
America, first. last and all the time.
was voiced by President Wilson III
speecn in the celebration OF the tHen-
ey-fifth anniversary of the founding o.
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.
The United States, the President
said. was not merely trying to keep
out of trouble. but was trying to pre-
serve the foundations upon which
peace could be, rebuilt.
Peace can be rebuilt" he added,
"only upon the ancient and accepted
principles of international law. It can
be only upon those things which re-
mind nations of their duties to each
other, and, deeper than that, of their
duties to mankind and humanity.
America has a great cause, which
is not confined to the American conti-
nent. 1t is the cause of humanity
itself"
Declaring his faith in the loyalty of
the great body of naturalized citizens
of foreign birth, the President said he
believed the impression was too gem
eral that a very large number of these
citizens were without sufficient af-
lection for the American ideal.
But l am in hurry to have line
up" he explained. "and let the men
who are thinking first of other coun-
tries stand on one side and those who
are for America first, last and all the
time, on the other side"
Every political action and every So
cial action in America at this time,
said Mr.. Wilson, should have for its
object to challenge the spirit of
Americanism.
The Presidents address was marked
by frequent applause. AS he entered
Memorial Continental hall, in which
the meeting was sheld. band played
the "Star Spangled Banner" and the
audience rose and clapped.
| He walked from the White House to
the hall with military aide and his
approach was heralded by blare of
bugles.
He was introduced by Mrs. William
Cummings Story. president general of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton.
Mrs. Norman Gait, the Presidents s
/ fiance6, occupied a box above the
stage.

London, Oct 12.-The Austro-Ger
mans now are in full possession of
Belgrade and the heights surrounding
the city, and have begun an advance
eastward toward the mountains which
the Serbians last year so stubbornly
defended against the Austriaas. For
some time to come the invaders, it
is expected, will have to fight only
rear guards, whose duty it is to delay
their progress, for the Serbians will
doubtless do as they have done on
previous occasions-fall back until
they reach positions in which they
will have the best opportunity of hold
ing their ground In fact, military
writer's here do not expect a pitched
battle on this front for ten days or a
fortnight, by which time the allies
forces landed at Saloniki should have

London, Oct. 13.-Bulgaria has defi-
nitely thrown in her lot with Ger
many, Austria and Turkey and her
troops, having crossed the Serbian
border, are endeavoring to capture
and hold the railway connecting Bel
grade with Constantinople and pos
sibly also the line running south from
Nish to Saloniki over which French
and British troops. who recently land
ed at Saloniki, are moving north to
the aid of Serbia.
Coincidently with Bulgaria's attack
the British government sent the Bull
garian minister at London his pass
ports There is word also from Toxic
that Bulgaria's action has aroused in
the Japanese capital a widespread
discussion respecting the possible dis
patch of Japanese troops to the Bal
kan war zone. The return OF Baron
Ishii. the newly appointed foreign min
lister, who had previously held the
post of ambassador at Paris, it is
said is likely to be followed by a re-
consideration of the international sit
uation with special reference to Ja-
pans policy for the presentation of
her permanent interests. Meanwhile
the Austro-Germans who have invad-
ed Serbia are making progress. They
have captured the fortress and town
of Semendria, lying to the east of Bel
grade and are advancing southwark
from the Danube and Save rivers.
AS to the Bulgars, however, Nish
asserts that all their attacks have
been decisively repulsed by the Serbs
Emperor William has arrived at the
Austro-German headquarters in Ser
bia, according to a dispatch from
Copenhagen.

months ago. The rise from 81 cents
has enriched great many.
Who has made all the money?
The best informed men at the board
of trade say the American farmer has
reaped the richest profit. Some of the
farmers assert that the gamblers at
the board Of trade" have benefited
most and there are wild stories afloat
about fabulous winnings of a lot Of
Wall-street spectators who have been
active in the Chicago market.
It is true that both Wall-street and
the board of trade have made money
out Of the rise in the price Of wheat.
In the aggregate the farmers profits
are believed to have far outrun all that
the spectators have made. For the
farmers have lost nothing by the ad-
vance and many spectators have.
Some Of the biggest traders were
frightened from the market before the
wheat passed $1.50 a bushel and they
failed to get the real cream Of the
rise.
James A. Patten says he has had no
wheat since the price left $l.40, but
he had a lot before it got there and his
profits have been estimated from
$3.50, 900 to 81, 100000.

Ardent Appeal Made for
Irritation ADDrODriatiOn

State Capitol, Salem-Leading busi-
ness men of Portland, Eastern Oregon
an other sections of the state at a
meeting here urged the joint ways
and means committee to report favor
ably upon the house bill providing an
appropriation Of $3.50, 1000 for irriga-
tion work the next two years. All de-
clared that the proposed work would
constitute an investment the state
could ill-afford to decline to make, in
asmuch as the Federal government had
guaranteed to give similar amount in
the reclamation Of the arid lands of
the state.
Joseph 7. Hinkle, representative in
the Legislature from Umatilla county,
and chairman of the house irrigation
committee, said the progressive bust
ness men of the state wanted the ap-
preparation as was evidenced by its ad-
vocacy by the Portland Commercial
club, the Portland Chamber Of Com
merce, the Progressive Business Mems
club, the lumber, railroad and other
interests.
]. N. Teal, of the conservation COM
mission, said the legislature faced a
question Of economy, not parsimony.
The day of large irrigation projects
being carried to a successful conclus-
ion by private capital, he said, had
passed. 1t was purely governmental
function, he declared, for individuals
would want profits, but the govern
ment, working in the interest Of the

have to be done, he declared, either
by the state or the National govern
ment or by them working in cooper

part of the eastern section of the state
was desert and would remain so until
it was supplied with water, Mr.. Teal

ness to improve the land as soon as
possible. He urged that continuous
plan of work be adopted until all arid
land was reclaimed.
