THOUSANDS LINE THE STREETS

BUFFALO, N. Y., Nov. 2.-Presi- dent Wilson was rendered a luncheon yesterday noon by the Non-Partisan club of this city, at which were sev- eral hundred of the prominent men of the city. The president made q short talk in which he questioned the patriotism of those men, who in the midst of the most critical periods would advocate the taking of such stand in foreign affairs as would lead to the taking of the lives of American citizens, in order to create domestic political advantage. He made a plea for unity of the American people be- fore the world that this great nation might occupy the place among the ma : tions of the earth to which her mag nitude entitled her, and also briefly discussed the internal and foreign policies of his administration.
 On his way to the hall to make his speech last night he was greeted all along the streets by cheering thou sands. All along the streets were sta toned bands playing martial music and the glare of, red fire lighted the streets almost to the brightness of day. When he arose to make his ad- dress the audience arose en masse and for several minutes the cheering was tremendous.
 During his speech the President derided the attempt 70 stir up class feeling and pleaded for a unity Of spirit among all American citizens. He spoke of the remarkable gratitude displayed by labor when a simple act of justice was done them, and said he felt ashamed of being thanked for doing his duty as he saw it. He stated that if reelected he planned still further legislation in behalf oi the laboring man and woman, among which was vocational training for the young. He declared that an eight hour day for the laboring man meant justice, health and happiness for him. self and family.
 Referring to the war in Europe he said the United States was not going to be drawn into the European quar. rels, as they were not typical ol American purposes and ideals.
