OF MOST BRUTAL HIGHWAYMEN
GAUNTLET IS THROWN
DOWN BY PRESIDENT
To Opponents Who Say Pro-
gram is Based on a Desire
of Some TO, Make Money.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.-President
Wilson threw down the gauntlet Mon
day to opponents of national prepared
ness, who have declared that the
movement sprang from the desires OF
munitions and armament manufactur-
ers to make money.
There are some things that are be-
ing said that l hope you will not be-
lieve," the president declared. ut is
being said among other things that
this agitation for preparation for ma
tional defense comes chiefly from
those who are interested in supplying
the government with the munitions Of
war and from those who are interested
in supplying it with armament.
Gentlemen, do not allow yourselves
to be misled by statements of that
sort. Anything that the government
does somebody is going to make mon
ey' out Of; but the impulse for this
thing does net come from those quar-
tiers. The impulse comes from men
d]isinterested. men who know the act
ual circumstances of the country and
who know that these things are neces-
sary."

.LEVEE lets CO
At West Hickman, KY, and the
River is Flooding Factory
District There.

HICKMAN, KY, Jan. 31.-The
west Hickman levee gave way early
today and the Mississippi rier is now
flooding a large area in the manufac-
turing district.
The water is backing up into the
business section. About 500 people
are homeless.
A large force of men worked
throughout Sunday and Sunday night
in an effort to hold the levee against
the flood, but shortly after A o'clock
this morning the river broke through
with a rush and the water quickly
filled the lower part Of the town.
Additional forces have been sent
to the Reel Foot district to protect
the levees there.
/. Although the breaking OF the West
Hickman levee cannot do any great
damage to Hickman it always causes
considerable anxiety among the en-
gineers charged with the safety Of
the great government levee which
protects the Reel Foot district and
which begins just below Hickman
and a short distance back Of the
local levee.
