PUBLISHERS OF GERMAN PAPERS
 FORM COMBINE

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S.-The National Association Of German Publishers was organized today with Paul F. Muller, of Chicago. as president. Fifty pub fishers rom leading cities of the country were present. and Congress- man Richard dathoIdt of st. Louis, was also at the meetIng.
 Politics received little attention from the publishers and what was said was from Congressman Bartholdt, who remarked informally that "of course it was understood that the Germans generally are not pleased with Presi. dent wilson's Idea of neutrality nor do they Ike Colonel Roosevelt. The organization Is not formed, however, with an .dea of being concerned in politics. The German editors do not want a prc-German for President, nor pro-British for Presideut, but rather they want pro-American as the country's chies executive."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. --.l President Woodrow Wilson told the members and guests at tlHt GridirOn Club dinner Saturday night that America ought lo keep out of the European war sli the sacrifice Of everything ei:- cept this single thing upon which her character and her history are founded, her sense of humail- ity and justice"
 The President spoke Of the nn- tion's affairs with unusual grily- ity. His hearers included seyeA- al hundred members of COn- gress, government officials, busl- ness men and correspondents. Every person present jumped 10 his feet and cheei.ed for se'T- eral minutes when inc President concluded with the following words of his speech:
 ''I would be be just as much ashamed to be rash as ] would to be a coward.
 1'ValOr is self respecting.
 ~Valor is circumspect.
 "Valor strikes only when it has a right to strike.
 "Yalor withl0lds itself from all entanglements and implita- tions and waits for the Opportun- ity when the sword will flash as if it carried the light of Heaven on its blade.
 'There is no question what the roll of honor is in America, The roll of honor consists of the names of men who have squared their conduct by ideals of duty. There is no one else upon inc roster7
 Earlier, in his speech, the President touched upon his can didacy. He said:
 ssYOur talk, Mr. Postmaster, has been this evening a great deal about my candidacy for the Presidency. This is not a new feeling on my part but one which { entertain with greater inten- sity than formerly That a man who seeks the Presidency of the United States for anything that it will bring to him, is an audar- i0us fool. The responsibilities of Che office ought to sober q man even before he approaches it. One of the difficulties of the office is seldom appreciated and l dare say that it is very diffi- cult to think why so many peor pie are talking and particularly why so many people are talkinl in a way that Obscures counr sel, and is entirely off point" "
 Never before at any gather ing like the GridirOn has the President made such a pointed speech. Yesterday and today his speech has been one of the chief topics of conversation. His speech was fOrceful and to the point, and it is conceded by all that it was effective.
