WILSON HOPES us.
 WILL NOT BE FORGED
 INTO GREAT TROUBLE
Speaking Before Democrats at Jefferson Day Banquet the President Defends His Past Three Years as Executive.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Presi- dent Wilson, speaking at Jefferson Day banquet of Democrats from all parts of the United States here to- night, prayed that the United States would not be drawn into quarrel not of it's own choosing, but asked tf the people wre ready to go in where the interests of America were coinci- dent with the interests of humanity, and have the courage to withdraw when the interests of humanity had been conserved
 He was interrupted by cheers and shouts of YES" During his address the president had mentioned the Flu ropean war and the Mexican question. without intimating what were his plans in either of the problems con fronting the United States. He declar- ed that in the present situation the re sponsibility was with the Democratic party because that party controls the government and that it is for us to hold the balance even and not to allow some malign interference to 1e-
 press one side or the other
 Most of the speech was devoted to reviewing the achievements of the
 Democratic party during the last three years, and to a criticism of the republicans as the party with "a pro
 vincial spirit" The President as serted that the nation was better pre- pared than ever before to show how America can lead the way along the
 path of light.
 The president declared that he was , not interested in personal ambition nor even over party success, but he
 was interested in seeing the load ci depressing humanity lifted. He men tioned none of the Republican leaders by name, but when he spoke of ambi- tious men, there were shouts of ''T R."
 What the nation demands now | the President said, sservice and es' sentially non partisan. not only 1T consideration of foreign affairs, but il 1 domestic affairs as well.
 Referring incidentally to Mexico he ] told of how a man had urged that trus l tees for that nations welfare be chos

 General Funston made it clear in his dispatches that Parral is so situ- ated physically that it is difficult to pass around it and is almost neces- sary to pass through it to proceed south. This possibly was responsible for the cavalrymen entering the town and officials noted that all the Ameri-

In the way Of obtaining about as

reasonably expect, the chief interest
Of our nation turns to the revival Of
Mexican commerce.
In this matter, hawever, our trade
organizations seem to be making a
mistake that is almost habitual with
Americans. They are planning hard

1916 LOOKS ROSY.

The year 1916 has been ushered in
with bright prospects for the future
Of the American business conditions,
in striking contrast to the beginning
Of 1915. Bank clearings, the iron and
steel industry, railways, and all other
trustworthy barometers, point to a
period Of great prosperity, with a
found dalton that cannot be easily up
set. A year ago there was hope, to-
day we have realized those hopes he
yond all expectations. The confidence
of the business world Of today Is the
confidence born of the knowledge Of
the soundness of its foundation. We
have as a foundation the record
breaking crops of 1915, with good
prices for practically all commodities
raised by the farmer, the best credit
facilities in the history Of the country.
due to the new currency law, as well
as the increased purchasing power Of
the country due to the economy prac-
ticed during the earlier months Of
the war. Our only fear is that Of
over confidence and imitation that us
ually produces a panic. BY proper
foresight this can be eliminated.
The only cloud on the business hor-
lion was the serious labor troubles
of last week in the Youngstown dis
trict, which are pointed to by some
prophets as the forerunner OF others.
To offset this, however, was the an
nouncement Of the United States
steel Corporation OF an advance of
10 per cent. in wages Of its unskill-
ed laborers, which means an addition
of S9,OO0,O00 a year for them.
Everything looks rosy why not
make II permanent?
