WANTS THE UNITED

WAR MUNITIONS

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train, Racine. Wis, Jan. 3l.---Rap-
ping those who charge that the do
mand for national preparedness has
sprung from persons interested In
supplying the government with the
istruments OF war. President Wilson
today advocated government manu-
facture OF munitions.
Speaking TO thousands In rear
platform address. he declared.
II have all along advocated, and
always shall. that the government. as
far as possible. manufacture these
things for itself In order that II may
control prices at which they shall be
sold 10 the government. There are
adequate means OF defending our
selves against those who would make
money out OF tho necessities OF the
nation, and we will use them
But do not believe that the I'M
pulse for preparedness has come
from such sources
THE impulse comes from men who
are dislnterested, from men who
know the actual circumstances OF the
country and know that these things
are Immediately necessary"
Along the line from Chicago. en-
route to Milwaukee. the president
was accorded noisy reception every
where. At each stop he was forced
to wait several minutes before he
could make himself heard,

At each stop Mrs. Wilson Joined

ton that was only equalled by that
accorded Wilson.

handed over the rail to her; at Ra'
cine she delayed making her appear

Washington, Jan. 3i.---In an opin-

7. R. TAKES FLING
At WILSON POLICY
OF WORDY WAR

New York, Jan. S1.--That Colonel
Roosevelt does not intend to remain
silent while President Wilson is voic-
ing his preparedness views and his
willingness TO fight In good cause
was evidenced today from the col
onel's remarks before a Brooklyn
meeting last night.
In this he took fling at the ad-
ministration for writing notes to Ger
many instead OF acting; this he lik-
ened by inference to the tendecies OF
Dickens "Mr. Micawber." At the
same time he excoriated the govern
ment for not protesting against vio-
lation Of Belgium, raped the Mexi-
can situation and insinuated that
much OF the administration course
savored OF politics. with the foreign
vote involved.
Germany, he contended, had ac-
ceded to submarine demands only be
cause England had made 1t unprof-
Iitable to continue undersea warfare
