 Among the possible sources of dan ger mentioned by the president were the difficulties growing out of the pro- lection of Americans abroad and the obligation of the United States to maintain the liberties of the people of the western h hemisphere.
 Thousands Stand in Rain.
 Thousands crowded Grays armory here Saturday night, where the pres ident brought his day to a close with the last of three addresses. The presi- dent will spend the day quietly here to- day, leaving at midnight for Milwau- kee to deliver an address today which some of his advisers regard as per- haps the most important of his tour.
 President Wilson's special rolled in- to Cleveland in a downpour. The heavy rain, however, did not deter tlns of thousands from standing patiently along the mile or more from the sta ton to the hotel. They cheered him as he appeared inside the heavy double cordon of bluecoats stretched around the station and applauded him all along the route.
 After dining at the hotel, the prest- dent and Mrs. Wilson drove between sidewalks black with umbrellas to tn e armory. There a crowd of 5000 had been waiting him for more than an hour. Many were turned away.

HONOR DEARER THAN PEACE AND COMFORT
Wilson Says We Are Daily Tread
 ing Amidst Intricate Dangers

Eleveiand, O., Jan. 31-President a Wilson, speaking as he said "solemlv" warned the nation Saturday night that the time may come when we cannot both keep the United States out of war and maintain it's honor. He de- clared that the country must be pre- pared to defend itself and be prepared at once.
 America is not afraid of anybody, he said. T know I reflect your feel ing and the feeling of all our citizens when l say the only thing I am afraid or is not being ready to perform my duty l am afraid of the danger of shame; I am afraid of the danger of 1nadequacy; l am afraid of the dan- ger of not being able to express the correct character of the country with tremendous might and effectiveness whenever we are called upon to act in the field of the worlds affairs"
 More Gravity and Force.
 The president spoke in Cleveland Saturday night with more gravity and force than he has shown during any of his previous addresses on prepared ness. He was applauded frequently and when he spoke of defending the nations honor the cheering was tre- n1endous,
 ''Let me tell you very solemly you cannot postpone this thing" he de. clared. T do not know what a single day may bring forth. do not wish to leave you with the impression that I am thinking of some particular dan ger.
 Treading Amidst Dangers.
 'I merely wish to tell you that we arc daily treading amidst intricate dangers. The dangers that we are treading amongst arc not of our own making and not under our control l think no man in the United States knows what a single week, a single day, a single hour may bring forth
 Again and again the president spoke of the nations honor. He declared the real man believes his honor is dearer than his life, and a nations honor is dearer than it's peace and com fort. He said it had been difficult to keep the United States out of the war and he felt he had proved he was a man Of peace when possible.
 Regrets Campaign Year.
 Regret that the question had come ID in a campaign year was expressed by MT. Wilson.
 s'Let us forget" he said, 'that this Is a year of national elections"
 The preparedness issue, he added, should have nothing to do with poli- tics. For the first time during his present tour. the presiden spoke of

place at the steering oar in the stern.
To be separated from him was all

tears left my eyes, and my head lifted,
as purpose and decision returned.
We were skirting the northern bank,
the high bluffs blotting out the stars,
with here and there, far up above us,
a light cleaning from some distant
window, its rays rejecting along the
black water. The Indian paddlers
worked silently, driving the sharp

lily up stream. Farther out to the left
was the dim outline of another boat,
keeping pace with ours, the moving
figures of the paddlers revealed
against the water beyond.

slowly and drifted aside, giving me

changed-I had been married and ex-
