PRESIDENT TELLSOF
H|SMANYPR0BLEMS
MUST TAKE NECESSARY WAY TO
DEAL WITH MEN, is THE
PRESIDENTS ADVICE.
ADDRESS TO THE PRESS CLUB
in the Capitalize is the Interpre-
ter-Grievance Is He Has to
Decide What People Want.

hington.-President Wilson on
Tuesday night made public frank and
intimate review of his three years in
the White House, and his impressions
of foreign and domestic problems, de-
livered confidentially Monday night
befoee Washington correspondents
gathered at the National Press club.
He spoke of the difficulties of the
presidency, and particularly of the mo-
tives which have guided his handling
of the European situation.
America" the president said, lis
for peace because she loves peace and
believes the present war has carried
the nations engaged so far they can
not be held to ordinary standards of
responsibility"
Must Act in Broad Way.
But" he added, "the United States
has grown to be one of the great ma
tons of the world, and therefore
must act more or less from the point
of view of the rest Of the world.
"If 1 can not retain my moral in
fluence over man except by occa-
sionally knocking him down." he said,
''if that is the only basis on which he
will respect me. then for the sake of
his soul l have got to occasionally
knock him down"
Can't Do as He PIeases.
The president declared he had been
kept awake nights considering the
European situation because there
might come time when the United
States would have to do what l did
not desire to do" and 'the great bur-
den on my spirits has been that II
has been up to me to choose when
that time came" He added that he
did not conceive that he had been
elected president to do as he pleased.
''If l were, it would have been very
much more interesting" he said.
Impressions of public men as class
were given frankly by the president,
with the comment that some grew and
some swelled. He also discussed the
relations of the newspapers to the
affairs of the nation, and sounded a
warning that false information about
foreign affairs was more than likely
to lead to trouble.
Speech Changed but Little.
The presidents remarks as origi-
nally delivered were read by him care
fully before being made public, but no
important portions were eliminated,
and the wording was not changed sub
stantially.

Story False Front Topples Over

Akron, Ohio, May 15.-Ten persons
were killed and nearly a score injured
Monday evening when the old Beacon
Journal building, occupied by the
Crystal restaurant, collapsed as a re-
suit of a blast of dynamite in an ad-
joining excavation.
A tremendous roar, echoing the
screams of dying people, brought
thousands to the scene of the disaster,
in the heart of Akron's business dis
trict.
A great pile of ruins, broken tim
bers, twisted steel and tons of brick
and mortar buried the victims who, a
moment before were dining in the res
taurant.
Proprletors Make Escape.
George Ferris, who. with his brother,
owned the restaurant, escaped from
the kitchen with a cook and two dish
washers, but all were injured by fall
ing bricks.

cavation for new building directly
north of the restaurant, unsettled the
foundation. The restaurant was a one
story structure with two-story false
front, and the latter, topping back
ward, added a weight of many tons to
the falling roof.

London, May 15.-Asiatic Turkey is
the only war theater where infantry
actions of Importance are reported.
On the line in France and Belgium,
and in the Austro-Itilian theaters there
have been minor engagements. On the
Russian front bombardments alone
are in progress.
The Russians and the Turks are con-
tinuing their attacks and counter at

endeavoring to force their way into
the Mesopotamia region, with Bagdad

Turks RepuIse Russians.
To the northwest of Erzerum, in the
Kope mountain region, Constantinople
reports the repulse, with heavy losses,
of Russian attacks to regain lost posi-
tions. Petrograd admits that in this
general region around Erzingan and
Ashkala, the Turks forced their ad-
vance guards to retire at some places,
but says the Ottoman forces desisted
in their attacks after having suffered
extremely heavy casualties.
Farther south, to the east of Mosul,
the Russians are throwing a fresh
force into the attacks directed against
the Bagdad region. Here they have
occupied the Rowanduz region, which
lies some 120 miles north of Kasr-I-
Shirin, where they were last reported
to be operating. This would place the
Russian troops at points about 220
miles north and 100 miles northeast
of Bagdad.

The region of LIE Mort Homme,
northwest of Verdun, again is under
heavy bombardment, while east of the
Mouse an intermittent cannonading is
in progress. No infantry attacks have
been attempted. The Germans sue

the Ploegsteert wood, but were i'm
mediately elected, while British pa
trolls captured German trenches south
of La Bassee canal. The Germans are
showing considerable artillery activ-

An Hui, or the Society for Preserva-

peal to the military and civil govern
crs of the various provinces and to
the newspapers of Shanghai, asking
them to support Yuan Shi-kai as pres

limitation and save China from fureher

Yang Tu assumes full responsibility
for the organization of the monarch

fortunes which the movement has
brought to China. He says in his ap-
peal that he still believes the monar-

ment for China, and that it was a mis-
take to cancel the monarchy. How
ever, since the monarchy is cancelled,
Yang Tu believes that all leaders in
China should join the movement to
support Yuan Shi-kai and restore or
der. He says in his announcement:
Now that the monarchy has been
cancelled, everything should be over.
But some people go so far as to de-
mand the abdication of the present
chief executive. If this is doHe, not
only can we enjoy the permanent
peace of a monarchy, but even the
temporary peace of republic will be
denied us. But for the efforts of the
present chief executive, peace and
order could never haye been main
tanned in the country for the last few
years; and the woes of a republic
would have already been realized if
the second revolution had not been
suppressed. You simply suggest abdi-
cation without guaranteeing anything.
