some FOREIGNERS

Washington. June 16.-1n Flag day
speech here President Wilson charged
that there are some foreign born per-
sons in the United States who are
trying to levy kind of political
blackmail on the American political
parties in the interests of foreign
governments.
This, the president declared. must
be stopped. He was sounding what
some of his advisers said would be
one of the issues of the coming presi-
Dental campaign.
Speaking of disloyalty in the Unit
ed States the president said:
1T proceeds from minority, very
small minority, but an active and sub
tie minority, working underground.
but also showing its ugly head where
1t may be seen, and it is this minority
that at this very moment is striving
to levy a kind of political blackmail
or wreak it's vengeance at the polls.
This is the sort Of thing against which
the American people will turn. That
is the lesson which come to remind
you of today"

President Wilson.
FRENZY OF ENTHUSIASM

OSmOOOIVatSOU VOtsO"O OSSsos Ss'S''
That Chief Executive Won Acquies'
ence in Demand for American Rights
From Worlds Most Militant Power.
st. Louis, June 16.-His voice burn
ing with emotion, Senator Ollie James
eloquently told to the Democratic con-
vention the story Of three years OF
Democratic leadership.
Senator James speech was an ap'
peal not to swap horses while cross
ing a bloody stream, and plea for
recognition Of the president as
master diplomat" and "unconquer
able leader" worthy Of brilliant rec.
ord in the book of history for his
achievements for peace.
1.-The Democratic party is proud OF
the achievements of Woodrow Will
son." he said.
"He has brought prosperity and
plenty to 100, 600. 900 Americans. Hehas
given work to every willing hand in
the republic. Every toiler has the full
dinner pail-full to overlooking.
HE elevates himself" the kentuck'
ian continued, ITO that lofty but lone
ly eminence occupied by George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
Woodrow Wilson, the three worst
abused, but best loved Americans. the
republic ever knew.
"He neither DULLES the weak nor
fears the strong. Mexico, England
Germany and Austria look alike to
him when America is involved.
HE might overlook the wrong OF
the weak. but never the insult of the
strong"
Phrase PIeases Audience.
Another phrase which brought forth
burst was James assertion:
president Wilson acts, he does not
rant. He builds, he does not buster.
Without orphaning single child.
without widowing a single wife, with
out the firing of a gun, Woodrow
Wilson won from the most militant
power that ever brooded over bat
tie field complete acquiescence in his
demands for American rights"
There was an insistent yell and
then cries Of repeat it."
James grinned, having spoken from
memory and being unable to give the
exact words over again. Finally he
paraphrased and dealing the desk in
front Of him to drive home every
word he shouted out the declaration
anew.
This brought cheer that almost
raised the roof.
On the back of the platform Jim
Heflin did a war dance Of frenzied
applause, while Senator Taggart,
standing besides Senator James, lean
ed forward and shouted LET 'er go!"
In few minutes parade OF the
states started with the Texas lone
star flag leading.
Cheers swept the hall and galleries
and the demonstration continued for
several minutes.

on establishing her identity, al

The Kansan came into Boston

The hostile submarine is be-
lieved to be the U-53, which paid

disappeared at sunset. Some
naval men, however, declared that
at least two submarines are oper-

though outside of the three-mile

is becoming more acute than ever,
according to Charles K. Keller, sup

Free Employment Bureau here:
"a year ago, we had plenty of ap-
p1icants for trough work. he said
today. To-day, we can't get any
where near enough women to take
the jobs that are open. The factories
have taken them, and are giving them
steady work at better pay. Within
the past few weeks, the situation has
become rather acute and many homes
are without their customary quota OF
servants" ~
According to Mr. keller, the short
age has caused a simultaneous de-
mand for increased pay. He says that
a domestic who commanded $12 to SIS
a month for rough work. a year ago,
is now asking an increase ranging
from 25 to SO per cent.
Mr. Keller reports that there is still
a shortage in the city of experienced
