BUSINESS PREPAREDNESS
IN ADDRESS At COLUMBUS THE
PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE
TO BUSINESS MEN.
Characterized Domestic Questions
Referred to in Message as Vital
to Life of Nation.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 10.-Presi-
dent Wilson today made strong
plea fof commercial preparedness,
He addressed nearly 1000 persons
at luncheon given at the Masonic
Temple by the Columbus Chamber
of Commerce.
The presidents words were a
message to the business men OF
America under the general theme OF
Steamship Industry
The president said thsh the real
strength of the nation is in its ser
curity and ability to accomplish and
successfully understand business.
The domestic questions to which he
called attention in his recent mes
sage to congress he characterized as
most vital to the life of the nation.
When the president arose TO speak
there was a roar of cheering and
hand clapping which lasted three
minutes.
Down to the war of 1872" he
said, 'the seas we're full of American
ships and American commerce Went
everywhere. Then the nation was
small Now the nation is great and
the seas are almost barren of Ameri-
can vessels.
He then assailed the high protect
i've tariff. American business men, :
he said, instead of being protected
against other countries proceed to
protect themselves against each 9th
er. The spirit of exclusion and mo
nopoly is not the American spiri. =

BRITISH PRESS COMMENTS
on CAlnCEll0R's SPEECH

LONDON, December 10.-Angry
comment was made by the London
press on Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's speech In the reicfIstag
yesterday. The papers we're unani-
nous in the declaration that the
chancellor merely repeated his old
bluff and brag."
.sHe had the temerity 10 warn US
that the longer the war continues
the harder will be Germany's terms
of peace" said the Daily Express,
..and this in face OF the common
knowledge that Germany is neces-
sarily growing weaker every day.
Thus he is able to carry out the
grandiose plans OF the rulers. For
tunately for the world the leaders
OF the German people are determin-
ed to rush on to irretrievable disas-
ter and the allies will read the chan
cellor's speech with entire satisfac-
tion."

LONDON, Dec. 1o.--Chancellor
Won -Hollwegg's speech in
the reichstag yesterday has prac-
tieally put an end to all talk OF

Several high officials interviewed

that the chancellor's speech should

end Of the war is not in sight. The
London newspapers not only took

mani in Germany for peace
.Germany's efforts to throw on
the allies the onus for continuance
of the war is both grotesque and
ludicrous. said one. THE prospect
for peace is more acute now than at
any period OF the war.
The outside world has no de-
lusion as to who forced the war or
who is forcing it now. but by their
own psychology the German people
generally accepted the govern
ment's declaration as gospel and
thus the purpose of the speech was
accomplished. Hollwegg's boasting

determination of the allies to. con-
tinue the war
Their attitude and the attitude of
the London press apparently cor
rectly represent the attitude OF the
