, Aid. Jacob 0uthard made char
acteristic speech. declaring that he
wouldn't 60 over one OF those
damned wooden ones" In his auto
mobile. He favored a steel bridge
on the. old piers. The committee
disregarded the fact that Commits
sioner Fenkell's advertisement read
"for the repair of tho Belle Isle
bridge. using the old piers" Most
OF the IL bidders submitted their
designs. following the commission
er's instructions. Mr.. Cooke was
the only bidder whose plan contem-
plated q bridge to the west OF the
old structure. When the committee
agreed with Aid. Rutter as to the
construction and location OF the
temporary bridge. Mr. Cooke was
the only bidder left in the field.
The new bridge will be plainly
temporary. II will likely be neces-
sary to bend the bridge at an ugly
angle to make use OF the mainland
approach. On the island side the
contractor figures on making use
of the pony spans from the old
bridge.
The committee received a great
deal Of Information, Friday after
noon. about the construction Of tenn
porary bridges. wooden. steel and
pontoon, the fire hazard Of differ
ent types OF bridges, margin OF safe
ty. etc. For two hours the alder
men discussed bridge construction
with the engineers. and then the
committee went into executive SEES

Most of the engineers present dis
agreed with City Engineer McCor-
mick, who told the committee that
II would cost the city 100000 more
in the construction OF new per-
manent bridge IL the temporary
structure were placed on the old
piles. Expert bridge builders point
ed ont the necessity Of having a
temporary bridge while perma-
nent concrete structure Is being
built. They declared that the tenn.
porary bridge instead OF being an
interference, would be an asset
when the time came to build new
bridge. Mr.. Cooke said he could
have the new bridge ready early in
the spring.

HIGH IDEALS ARE SET FORTH
Nation Should Show "Impar.
TALLY Of Spirit and Judg.
ment," He Says.
is READY FOR WORTHY SCRAP

The New York World of Wednes-
day says:
In an address delivered at the an
nual luncheon of the Associated
Press yesterday afternoon at the
Waldorf-Astoria, President Wilson
declared it to be "clear that the
worlds affairs are drawing rapidly
to a climax"
LET us think of America before
we think of Europe, in order that
America may be fit to be Europe's
! friend when the day of tested
| friendship comes" the President
added, and, in this, his hearers
seemed to find an intimation that
the United States might become an
agent of pacification.
Mr.. Wilson made his definition of
neutrality motif of his address
sympathy for mankind, fairness,
| good will at bottom. impartiality of
spirit and judgment" He deplored
the uttering of ISLANDERS against
America, as if to excite her." and
declared it to be IAN abominablei
libel of ignorance to say there
would be a divided America, even if
she should be drawn into the war.
Regarding neutrality, he said:
"My interest in the neutrality OF
America is not the petty desire to
keep out of trouble. do not want
| to walk around trouble. If any man
wants a scrap that is an interesting
scrap and worth while, l am his
man. | warn him that he is not
going to draw me into the scrap for
his advertisement, but if he is look
ing for trouble that is the trouble
of men in general. and l can help a
little, why, then, I am in for it,"
1t was evident that the President
appreciated the Importance of his
declarations. He spoke earnestly
and in words as weighed as though
he read them from manuscript. For
him, it was asked that no attempt
be made to paraphrase his utter
ances, but that the official transcript
ton, by stenographer brought by
him from the White House, be
awaited before any publication was
made.
Two hundred and seventy-five
members and guests of the Asso-
ciated Press greeted the President
at 2 o'clock in the grand ballroom
of the Waldorf-Astoria. Again and
again during the address there were
bursts of applause. notably when
Mr.. Wilson pictured his efforts to
put himself in the place of the man
"who remembers first that the
whole destiny of modern affairs
centers largely upon his being an
American first of ALL"
higher, healthier color marked
Mr. Wilson than on his first visit to
New York. There was tone OF
sadness sometimes in his voice, but
there was, too, militant note in II
as he came to his concluding SEN
tence:
but do claim this worthiness-
that before everything else. | love
America"
