WILSON WANTS TO SEE
HOW BUSINESS MEN
RECEIVE HIS ACID TEST
In Memorial Day Speech Warned
Preparedness Shouters That
He Might Test Their
Sincerity
PRESIDENT VERY GRAVE
By ROBERT j. BENDER


WASHINGTON, June 19.-President Will
son today awaited results of the "acid test
applied to business men of the country in
the issuance of orders for national guard
mobilization.
On May 80, in Arlington Cemetery, the
President told 500 veterans of the Civil War
that within month" 1t might be up to
the nations Industrial chiefs to determine
whether the new militia law was to receive
the support which might be expected from
the business men in their enthusiasm for
preparedness .,
1t is not likely President Wilson at this
time believed the law would face fire so soon,
But 1t may be said he regards the present
situation as a splendid application of the
test, He is awaiting results with keenest
interest. ......
AS rapidly as the War Department re-
ceved reports today from the different
militia commanders throughout the country
they were forwarded to the President.
In the meantime Washington appreciates
today that real crisis confronts the Presi-
dent in Mexico. Always little quick to
get excited over International developments
owing to its proximity ito the works"
Washington, strange enough, today is TAX
ing the situation calmly Last night, fol-
lowing the issuance of militia mobiliza-
tlon orders, official and civilian Washing
ton was aroused as II has not been since
the occupation of Vera Cruz. People gath
cred in clusters under street lamps, In front
OF store windows and elsewhere to read the
story OF the militia call, The State War
and Navy Building was ablaze with tights
until early today.
Throughout the afternoon and early
evening the President motored with Mrs.
Wilson. He was unusually grave. He
took the step he did with great reluctance
and after the order was determined upon
expressed to a number OF intimate friends
his concern over the sorrow the call would
bring into homes OF the country.
