the lambent flame of dawn life leap

Have you never watched the red

WILSON GREETED
BY THOUSANDS

DES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 2.-Five
THOUSAND people crowded the great
auditorium last night to hear Presi-
dent Wilson deliver his appeal for the
country's support of his prepared
ness program. The capacity of the
structure was far too small to ac-
commodate the large number who at
tempted to gain entrance.
The dishonor of peace at any price
was the central thought of his ad-
dress. He indicated that unless the
United States was in position to meet
the attacks of any power or COM
bination of powers on land or sea
we would be compelled to continue 10
utter protests, which could not be
enforced by deed.
The president referred to the ter
rible difficulties the administration
had met with its efforts to keep our
country out of war since the life and
death struggle started. He suggest
ed these had been of such startling
nature they could not be disclosed
now and possibly can never be with
safety.
He outlined plans for protection
which would hold invaders from our
shores until an army of million or
double the number could be raised to
drive the enemy away. His plans for
the navy is one so strong that no
either can successfully meet it.
