SAYS NATION MUST BE READY
Wilson Tells Davenport, Iowa, Audi
ence United States Does Not Con-
troll Movement Of Affairs.

Davenport, Iowa, Feb. 3.-President
Wilson, in an address here said:
Il need not tell you, my fellow citi-
zens, that I love peace profoundly, and
that l will do everything within my
power to preserve It. But in the world
as it is now disturbed, we do not con-
troll the movement of affairs. There
may arise at any time a condition Of
things when l will have adequately to
protect the honor and majesty and
character of the United States and
when that time comes, I know that
you will be ready to stand by the gov
eminent; but l must be ready, and
everybody connected with the govern
ment, to supply you with the adequate
means of standing by it if it should
unhappily become necessary for you to
do So"

ILWAUKEE GREETS WILSON
Milwaukee, "The Most I4yphenated
City" in the Country, AppIauds
Speech on Preparedness.

Milwaukee, Feb. 2. - Milwaukee,
"the most hyphenated city" in Amer
lea, where President Wilson has been
assaulted bitterly by press and pulpit,
gave the president the warmest re-
ception he has met on his present
tour. The presidents entry into the
city was a triumphal one and, accord
ing to the oldest politicians, nothing
like it was ever before witnessed.
That the danger of hyphenated
Amerscanism is thing of the past
and that when the test comes every
mans heart will be first for America"
was the keynote of the presidents
address.

Many Cargoes
Are On Ocean
President Tells Hearers in St. Louis
That Country Must Have Ships
Enough.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-President Wilson
told an audience of $4,000, here which
swayed with a tumult of cheering
that the United States should have
the greatest navy in the world.
81 believe the navy of the United
States should be unconquerable," he
said. "The greatest in the world"
The President declared that subma
rine commanders abroad have instruc
lions which for the most part conform
with international law but that. the act
of one commander might set the world
afire, including America.
Upon the ocean there are hundreds
of cargoes of American goods he
said, cotton, grain and all the boun-
tiful supplies America is sending out
to the world, and any one Of those
cargoes, any one of those ships, may
be the point of contact that will bring
America into the war;
Must Have Ships Enough.
"America is not selfish in claiming
her rights. She is merely standing for
the rights of mankind while the life of
mankind is being extinguished in one
of the greatest catastrophies in the
world.
There isn't a better service in the
world than the United States navy.
But they must have ships enough and
we are going to give them ships
enough. We must get down to bust
ness and do it Systematically.
For the first time during the tour
the President told of how one set of
belligerents was cut off from the
world. He said this kept the United
States from helping them as it would
like to. He made the statement in
trying to show that the United States
was really neutral.

cans to travel abroad and their right
to send food, cotton and manufactured
products to peaceful populations in
open neutral markets, land wherever
the conditions of war make it possible,

tional law"
1T may be necessary to use the
force of the United States to vindicate
the rights Of American citizens to en-
Joy the protection Of international
law" he declared emphatically in a
speech before 1000 persons here. He
urged the support of the people Of
Kansas in preparing that force for use,
if necessary.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live we'll, eat we'll, digest we'll, work
we'll, sleep we'll, look we'll. What
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass OF real hot
water with a teaspoonful OF limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels tho
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C.
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get q quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
terual sanitatiOn.-Adv.

"AMERICA SHOULD HAVE
BEST NAVY IN WORLD"
Easy to. Raise
100000 Men
President Warns Kansas City Audience
That Most of Munition Factories
Are on Atlantic.

Kansas City, Feb. 4.-President VIII.
son, in his address here, demanded
that steps be taken at once to back
him up in defending American lives
and commerce abroad. His demand
met with shouts and applause from an
audience of 10000 persons who waved
American flags, leaped to their seats
and cheered.
When the president ceased speak
ing he leaned forward and asked the
great throng to join him in singing
"America." The band played softly
the audience stood and the words of
Americas national anthem came in a
glorious burst of song from the many
threats.
Crowd is For President.
The big crowd was for the President
from the start. 1t waited patiently for
an hour to see him and cheered itself
hoarse in a three-minute demonstra-
ton when he appeared. Sixteen thou
sand heard him, 10000 were turned
away and 10000 more tried to get a
glimpse of him as he left his hotel for
the hall.
"Why, some men in Washington are
questioning if we could get the 100000
men for which the government is ask
ing" he said at one point of his ad-
dress.
"Would they volunteer"
A man in the far end Of the hall
shouted his answer over the heads OF
the crowd. YES" he cried. A dozen,
a score, fifty, echoed the word and the
hall was in turmoil. President VIII
son smiled and held out his hand.
"Why, I believe" he said, as the
tumult decreased, "you could raise the
100000 men in almost any state. be-
lieve you could get 5000 men right
here in this audience.
President Gives Warning.
The president presented a warning
that most of the munition factories of
the United States are on the Atlantic
seaboard and that therefore the ma
ton must be ready to repel the first
big attack in order to avoid disaster.
1--WE are witnessing a cataclysm
and God only knows what the issue
shall be-" was the way he prefaced
his conclusion in which he asked his
audience to keep cool, but to uphold
the Judgment of the government in it's
demands for a larger, more effective
means of national defense.

THE BUILDING
Of A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse ana
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
of looking upon their work, and Its
results with pardonable pride If they
"Reminiscences, and tell of the hardsh1ps
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
IND prosperous of occupations-are
Aeing cultivated by men Of the highest
,Btamp of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs IN
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
It not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder Of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result OF
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex'
pand? It was probably some of this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president OF
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day In Winnipeg, when he said:
I am not in the habit Of giving ad.

rs the young men Of Canada, every
AssAng man, to get out and get piece

AT that time all the flour, meat and

Peace at ANY
Price? Never
Wilson Tells Des Moines Audience lie
Has Found Middle West for
Preparedness.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 3..-"Do you
want the situation to be such that all
the President can do is to write mes
sages and utter words Of protest!'
asked President Wilson here in adj
vocating preparedness before the larg.
est audience of his present trip. III
breaches of international law, which
are in daily danger of occurring,
should touch the very honor OF the
United States do you wish to do moth
ing about it? Do you wish to have all
the world say that the flag of the
United States can be stained with I'M
punity? Why, to ask the question is
to answer it. l know there is not a
man or woman within hearing OF my
voice who would wish peace at the
expense of the hohor of the United
States"
There are actually men in America
who are preaching war, the President
declared. Men who want the United
States to have entangling alliances
abroad. He added that others go furth-
err than he, in advocating peace.
"They preach the doctrine Of peace
at any price," he added, while men in
the audience called, never, never" "
He said these men did not know the
circumstances of the world.
The President declared he hoped ii
this war had no other result, it would
create an international tribunal to set
tie questions which cause war. His
declaration that he had found the
people of the Middle. West for prepar-
edness drew long applause.

Wilson and Wife "Lost" at Des Moines

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 3.-When
President Wilson arrived at the sta
ton from the Coliseum after making a
speech, his train, through misunder-
standing had been switched three
miles down the railroad yards. He
and his wife sat shivering in an open

waiting place in the train dispatcher's
office. They were forced to sit in the
dingy telegraph office for an additional
rs minutes before their car was backed

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 5.-The historic
Canadian parliament building was de-
stroyed by fire declared unofflcially
to have been caused by the explosion
of a gas bomb or an Internal machine.
Two women, Nine. Brayi of Mon
treal, and Nine. NORM of Beauce,
guests of the wife of Speaker Sevigny
we're overcome by smoke and per.
ished.
Killed by Falling Roof.
Two policemen and two commons
attendants were working in the cham
Der below the speakers quarters when
the roof fell. They are declared to
have been killed.
Frederick F. Pardee, chief liberal
whip, and William Logic, a member
of parliament from New Brunswick,
are missing and it is expected they
were killed.
Preceded by Explosion.
It has been established that the
first burst of flames in the reading
room Of the House of Commons was
preceded by at least one explosion
and probably by two.
The force of the conclusion was so
severe that persons standing some
distance away were hurled to the
floor.
A rigid investigation to determine
the cause of the fire already has been
undertaken by the Dominion authcri-
ties
Montreal Sends Aid.
The danes spread with such amaz-
Ing rapidity that the Ottawa fire brig
ade was utterly helpless to cope with
them. Aid was sent from Montreal
on a special train, but at 1 o'clock in
the morning the fire still was raging.
The loss cannot be estimated in
money. The building was valued at
about $5,OOO,O00. But the contents
are of inestimable value. There was
no insurance.
At midnight the Commons and SEN
ate chambers had been destroyed and
as the great clock doomed out the
hour, flames we're sweeping up the
magnificent tower and licking their
way to it's top.
Soldiers Placed on Duty.
The parliamentary library at the
rear probably will be saved Soldiers
we're assigned to carry out it's con-
tents.
Members of the parliament, spec.
tators in the gallery of the lower
house, government employees and 9th
ers who were in the building narrow
ly escaped death or injury. Within
a few minutes after the fire began,
corridors were filled with smoke and
at many points walls of flames barred
progress.
There were many doors to the great
building, but since the outbreak of the
war all except the main portals have
been closed to safeguard the legis-
lators.
Responsible for Two Deaths.
This precaution made escape more
difficult and probably was responsible
for the deaths of Nine. Brayi and
Nine. NORM in one of the rooms of
the speakers suite.
Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian
premier, who was in the building, es-
capped safely, but Maurice Burrell,
minister of agriculture, was burned
severely about the head, and DR..
Michael Clark, member for Red Deer,
was burned about the hands.
