Alden. the Gibraltar Of the East q.
key to the Suez Canal, was reported
by Berlin to be in great peril from at
tacks by vastly superior forces Of
Turks and Arabs.
The British are said to have been
driven from all the vast territory held
by them in southern and southwestern
Arabia at the beginning of the war and
TO have fallen back to Alden for a
final stand after losing $4,000 men
killed and 10000 wounded.
The Germans say the British forces
are penned up in Alden. near the en-
trance to the Red Sea, and If they fail
to hold their position the approach TO
the canal will pass from their hands.
The garrison is defending itself stub
bornly and only the support Of the
warships, II is said, has saved il from
capture.
The British official Press Bureau
gave out statement denying the
truth of German reports concerning
the situation at Alden.
The British army besieged at Kut-
el-Amara by the Turks has driven
back the investing force. The Mos.
lens have evacuated their trenches
on the land side of the city and with
drawn to about a mile from the Brit
ish defenses.
Fighting has been renewed on the
Russian front, and at many places
from Riga down into eastern Galicia
the armies have come to grips without
important changes Of terrain.
Dispatches regarding the situation
in Albania Indicate that the Austrians
are still advancing. British military
men predict that Essad Pashs, the
Provisional Governor, would be able to
hold out a considerable time. as the
condition OF the roads prevents the
moving Of artillery.

President said.
81 know that on the other side
OF the water there has been great
deal of cruel misjudgment with re-
gard to the reasons why America has
remained neutral. Those looking at us
from distance do not feel the strong
pulses of ideals and principles that
are in us.
"They do not feel the conviction
of America that our mission is mis-
sion Of peace and that righteousness
cannot be maintained as standard
in the midst of arms. They do not
realize that back of all our energy
we are body OF idealists much more
ready to lay down our lives for a
thought than for a dollar"

that the very fundamentals Of our
life are not comprehended or under

81 thank God there is no man In
the United States who has the au-
thority to bring on war without the
consent OF the nation" he said.
The task of the United States. he
said. has been to assert the principle
OF law in a world in which the princi-
pies of law have broken down.
I'VE are not now thinking OF inva-
sion of the territory of the United
States" the President declaSed. That
is not what is making us think. We
are not asking ourselves shall we
be prepared only to defend our own
homes and our own shores.
"Is that all we stand for? To keep
the door shut securely against our
enemies? What about the great trus-
teeship set up for liberty of national
government in the whole western
hemisphere? We stand pledged to
see that both continents of America
are to be left free TO be used by
their people as those people choose
10 use them under q system of ma
tional popular sovereignty as abso-
lutely unchalleneged as our own.
AT this moment the Americas are
growing together upon that hand

and defence"
Detailed plans for strengthening
the army and navy and the aviation
corps and for making munitions and
armament by the government were
outlined The President spoke for
