PRESIDENT WILSON'S
ADDRESS TO OAR.

AID PATRIOTISM - INFLUX
SERVES TO REMIND US.
LOYALTY TO FOREIGN BORN
He Now Calls for Rally-President De-
clares Now s the Time for All Peo-
pie to Show Loyalty-Be More
Than Neutral.

Washington.=A demand on all
Americans, on penalty of ostracism, to
be more than neutral in regard to the
European war, to take their stand for
America first, last, and all the time,
was voiced by President Wilson Mon
day in a speech in celebration of the
25th anniversary of the founding of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton The United States, the presi-
dent said, was not merely trying to
keep out of trouble, but was trying to
preserve the foundations upon which
peace could be rebuilt.
Humanity Is Our Cause.
Peace can be rebuilt" he added
"only upon the ancient and accepted
principles Of international law; only
upon those things which remind ma
tons of their uties to each other, and
deeper than that, their duties to man
kind and humanity America has a
great cause which is not confined to
the American continent. 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 gen
eral that large number of these citi
zens were without a sufficient affec
ton for the American ideal.
But l am in hurry to have line
up" he explained, land let the meI
who are thinking first 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 OBJ
ject to challenge the spirit of Amer
icanism.

Europe Will Follow Suit.
BANDITS MAKE RICH HAUL.
Rob Baltimore & Ohio Mail Train of
About 100000.

Washington.-Posto inspectors
after investigation of the recent hold
up on the Baltimore & Ohio train near
Central Station, w. Va, said that less
than 100000 in currency was taken
by the robbers.
Later Comptroller Williams issued a
statement that the train carried only
$4,000 in unsigned national bank
notes. How much OF the money on
the train was stolen has not been as
certained.
Government officials, who have been
in touch with the situation, are of the
opinion that the bandits were aware
that the money. which was being sent
from Washington, was on his train, as
it has been definitely learned that
they demanded the Washington pack
ages of the main clerks.

MORGAN EXPLAINS BIG LOAN
Says 1t Is Absolutely Imperative That
Nations Pay Outside Debts.


New York.-That the acceptance by
American bankers of the $500, 900
Anglo-French five-year 5 per cent loan
was strictly neutral business trans
action designed to promote the COM
mercial prosperity of the United
States was the position taken by J.. P.
Morgan in an address delivered by him
Saturday to bondmen. The bondmen
represented financial houses interest
ed in the sale of the Anglo-French
bonds.
Mr. Morgan said the bonds repre-
sented the only external debts of the
two nations and, being an external
obligation, they were the first charge
on the revenues OF the guaranteeing
nations.
"And it is absolutely imperative" he
added, for nation to meet its exter-
nal obligations if it is to escape the
worst form of bankruptcy and dis
grace. Nations must care for their
external obligations regardless of what
arrangements they make for their in
ternal debts"
In referring to the convertible fea-
ture Of the bonds, Mr.. Morgan called
attention to the five-year period and
said:
within five years, please God, the
war will be over and we'll over, and
want to say that nobody is going to
extinguish any great nation in this
war"
