the Caucasus the Russians claim to
have scored material successes against
the Turks.
Petrograd again points to the pos
sibility Of the operations of the Rus
sian Caucasus army being markedly
helpful to the British in Mesopotamia,
referring to the. advance OF the Rus
sian column south Of Hamadan, where
a comparatively short distance sep
arated the Russian and British forces
in the two theaters Of war. Although.
the country between is broken and
mountainous Russian military obsery-'
.ers take the view that the Turks fear
a junction softthe two armies and are
taking measuresate protect their lines
against such an eventuality. in the
Balkans the Austrians continue to
make progress in Albania, reporting
the occupation Of Alessio, and SAM
Giovanni Di Medua on the Adriatic
coast. In Montenegro calm now pre-
walls, Vienna declares. The capture Of
314 cannon, more than 10000 rifles
and fifty machine guns in the Monte
aegtin, operations is reported. On the
eastern front there Have been only
isolated engagements between the
] Austrians and the Russians.

WILSON WARNS NATION
OF POSSIBLE DANGER
t1Y A%ssoeIArEp rREss,

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson arrived here at 6 p. M.
tonight. He will remain until mid
night tomorrow.
President Wilson speaking, said he
"solemnly" warned the nation to-
night that the time may come when
he can not both keep the United
States out of war and maintain it's
honor. He declared that the country
must be prepared to defend itself and
prepare at once.
America is not afraid Of any,
body" he said. II know I reflect
your feelings and the feeling of all
u citizens when l say the only
thing l am afraid of is not being
ready to perform my duty. l am
Afraid Of the Danger
OF shame. / am afraid Of the danger
OF inadequacy. l am afraid of the
danger of not being able to express
the correct character of this country
with tremendous might and effective
ness whenever We are called upon to
act in the field of the worlds af-
fairs"
The president spoke in Cleveland
tonight with more gravity and force
than he has shown during any of his
previous addresses on preparedness.
He was applauded frequently and
when he spoke of defending the ma
TONS honor the cheering was ire
mendous.
Let me tell You very solemnly you
can not postpone this thing" he de-
clared. II do not know what a sin
gle day may bring forth. l do not
wish to leave you with the impress
sion that am thinking of some par
ticular danger.
Il most solemnly wish to tell you
that we are daily treading
Amidst Intricate Dangers.
1.-THE dangers that we are tread
ing amongst are not of our own
making and not under our control.

be q partisan question. No man
should make political capital out Of
It. I will be ashamed of any friends
Of mine who take q different view.
Republicans and Democrats have
many differences but there Is no .rea-
son why they should differ on Tins
issue. Both parties are patriotic.
It has been very difficult to maintain
peace, but | am the friend Of peace.
There have been hourly dangers.
Often 1t has been impossible to con-
troll the situation because others
we're involved.
las your responsible servant !
must tell you that the dangers are
constant. must go out and tell the
people that new circumstances have
arisen which made 1t necessary that
America defend itself. =
I'VE should be prepared" con-
tinued the president. mot for war or
anything that

but for adequate national defense.
! am not afraid that America will
not do enough. ] am only earnestly
DESTROYS that 1t should be verify cody
considerable of what 1t does. One
cool judgment is worth a thousand
hasty counsels. The thing to do Is
to supply light and not heat. And
now In conclusion let me say that l
do not want you merely to listen to
speeches. l want you to become ac-
tive partlsans for national defense.
/ want you to realize deeply that the
people must be for preparedness.
Out of what seems to be an intri-
cate debate, a grand plan OF national
defense, ! believe will result. A plan,
I trust, of real adequate national
preparedness"
President Wilson later spoke to
an overflow meeting composed prin-
cipally Of women. The president de-
clared women were as much inter-
ested in national defense as the men.
In the home" he continued, 1.-The
women are able to feel the pulse of
the nation, The old cry for the de-
fei,se of the hearth and the home
WIS not particularly inspiring, for it
IL easy to fight for ones own. But
Il is harder to fight for the people
as a whole or a government. No
body supposes that If we have time
enough we can not defend ourselves.
But now the world is on fire. We
must not sit down and think, we
must do nothing until the vs..
Fire Spreads to Us.
I'VE cannot control the fire and
can not govern Its spread. l do not
believe the fire must touch us but
we must be ready to meet it.
so far we have held difficulty at
arms length by patience and | hope
we will continue to do SO. People
tell me must maintain peace and
also the honor Of the country. Per-
haps / shall not be able to do both.
i see no immediate danger but you
must be ready II trouble comes"
He opposed a large standing army
because he said a large standing
army brings about the desire to use
it., He begged that the administra-
tion defense plans not be confused
with militarlsm. President Wilson's
special train left Pittsburg for
Cleveland at 3:16 p. m.

AWFUL DAMAGE
 IN CALIFORNIA
SMALL CREEKS BECOME RAGING RIVERS TWO OR THREE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1S.-The storm which has just abated in South ern California was the worst in the history of the state. It ragged for two days and three double tracks and all the street cars almost have been crippled. Crowds of eastern passen- gers have been marooned at Pomona City and are practically isolated.
