NEW YORK. N. Y.-"one glance Is
enough to tell which people have iron
in their blood" said Doctor Sauer. a
specialist OF this city. in a recent dis
course. They are the ones that do and

class. Sleepless nights spent worrying
over supposed ailments. CONSTANT dos
ing with patent medicines and narcotics
for nervous weakness. stomach. liver or
kidney disease and useless attemptE to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stimulants are what keep them suffer-
ing and valnly longing to be strong.
Their real trouble is lack of iron in the
blood. Without iron the blood has no
power to change food into living It's

you any good: you don't get the strength

months without any benefit.

PULSORY ARMY
SERVICE DEMANDED

With demands for compulsory military
service and greatly increased army and
navy. the National Security League
placed itself on record last night as
fayOrinR the plans of the general board
OF the navy and the general stan OF
the army. as opposed to the ideas OF
Secretaries Daniels and Garrison.
Secretary. GarrIson's recommendation
to enlarge the regular army was spe-
officially indorsed. But In every other
respect the league lined up for a larger
degree of preparedness than has yet
been submitted to Congress.
Further. it recommended the Joining
Of all forces favorinG preparedness into
one big organization: and council of
national defense, which shall assume
the function-now vested I'm the Presi-
dent alone-of recommending military
legislation to Congress.
In addition TO coast artillery and
auxiliary troops. the mobile regular
army" It was declared. should be in
creased to four complete divisions.
State militia and volunteer military
systems were attacked by resolution.
This nation has too long ignored the
great democratic principle that every
citizen is bound to render military SER
vice" said George w. Wickersham,
former Attorney General.
The three-day convention of the
league was concluded last night with a
banquet at the Willard, at which $50
men and women gathered. Speeches

NAVY DARES
GERMANS TO FIGHT
Report Of Enemy's Entry Into
North Sea Stirs English to
Issue Challenge.

LONDON. Jan. 2S.-The report that
the German fleet, led by new dread
nauEhts carrying f7-inch guns. is pre-
pairing TO engage the British fleet IN
the North sea, brought forth from
every sailor In the English navy today
a wish that the probability would be-
come a fact.
Men Of the British fleet from Admiral
Jedico down, could wish for nothing
better and challenge the enemy. No
one in England's navy believes the
story Of the 17-inch guns, but II makes
no difference. All the British sailors
want Is the German fleet out in the
North Sea TO settle the question OF
naval supremacy in one tremendous
battle.
A young naval officer at one OF the
bases of tn British fleet expressed the
sentiments of all his comrades when
he said:
"The German high sea fleet can
choose the day, the hour. and the place
OF battle II they win only come out and
fight"

WILSON DESPERATE
IN NDEFENSE FIGHT
Tour Planned as Final Move to-
Win Sympathy Of Whole
Country in Campaign.
CONTINUED from First PaEel.

NCOnNhlhNu AAVMA AAHA hkNsl-
hrst trip route which would prac-
tically confne him to the Middle West
is easily explained. Without the vote
OF members Of Congress from this Sec
tion the defense program has small
chance OF success. For geographical
reasons, principally. the people OF this
section are more or less apathetic on
the question, OF preparedness, With
many square miles OF mountain and
plain separating them from the sea-
coast they find II hard to get the point
Of view OF the seaboard States and to
fear the possibilities of Invasion by a
foreign foe.
The extent to which this apathy still
exists. not only in the Middle West,
but in certain sections of the South,
is proved by the situation In Congress.
There all Is chaos on the subject. The
Democrats from these sections either
have small sympathy for the Admin
istration program, or are openly hos
tile. There Is no leadership. and the
power OF the President to hold mem
bers in line is not as strong as u was
at the beginning OF the Administra-
tion. Feeling no pressure from home
in behalf of preparedness, these Demo-
Gratis are many OF them "off the res
ervation." And they hold the situation
more or less in their hands.
For this condition many Of the Admin
istration leaders are directly blaming
the President. The preparedness policy
Is threatened with defeat, they say,
principally because the President has
not taken on the task of creating pub
lie sentiment, but has left II for the
public itself to create-a public more or
less mystified and bewildered by dis
cord of opinions that emanate from
Congress-. According to these friends
Of the President, had he from the first
aIwwN-
what he Is trying to accomplish, he
would have minimized all programs. but
the one that bears the stamp of Ad-
nlinlstratlon approval. And because
they believe hthat there is still chance
for this to be done. they have at last
persuaded the President to go before
the country and prove that his heart Is
IN the program They feel that, having
reversed himself completely in twelve
months time on the need OF better pre-
naredness he should go the linls to con-
vince the country that his present Views
are correct.
Fight Popular Then
At the time that the President re-
vcrsed himself and adopted the cause
Of preparedness the issue was UNI
doubtedly a popular one. 1t was at the
height Of the crisis following the sink
( of the Lusitania, when war with
,rmany was more Imminent than
my people now recall. that the Presi-
MT gave notice of his change Of
mt. A year previous. In an address
fore Congress, he had pooh-poohed all
TX Of bigger army and navy, and laid
ress on what could be expected from
"citizen soldiery."
Now, he gave 1t to be understood mat
"a had changed his opinions, and in
hanging he broke finally from the In
tiuence OF Bryan. At the time the break
with Bryan did not appear serious.
