SIDERATION.
 # President Wilson has huge task
 his hands today. He will take
 s preparedness plans into Milwau-
 8Ae. looked upon as the stronghold of
 element not altogether disposed
 his way of thinking. But the
 resident will be equal to the occa-
 lon mayhap and convince his audi
 rs he is not as black as he has
 ben painted, that he favors no par #cular side in the struggle abroad,
 nd that whatever he does or sug-
 Rests is done for the ultimate good
 the United States of America, the Ration that interests him most. That #he President holds keenest regard those who come from foreign Bands and make their permanent #bode in this country is evidenced by &he following telegram he sent last Eight to be read by Senator Ollie anaes at an Austrian meeting in New # fork:
 May I not send my warmest greet %l ss to the meeting and will you not Express for me my very deep and sin &ere confidence in the entire loyalty Ind patriotism of the great body of Eur fellow citizens who have strength 5ned and enriched America by adding zheir energy to our own out of the RAations which have joined in their atocks to make a great America?" l Milwaukee has a large foreign born population, larger, perhaps, than ghat of any other American city it's Aize. It is expected he will urge all Americans, no matter where born, to Etand for America first, and flash his bit rspeated declaration that the Unit Ed States must prepare, and begin breparations at once, because of the of the international sit nation. Tn his Cleveland address ill support of his military policy the President reached the height of his argument when he propounded these Hhree paragraphs:
 s@There are two things which practi- |cally everybody who comes to the |executive office in Washington tells |nae. They tell me that the people |are counting upon me to keep us out of this war.
 And in the next breath they tell me; The people are equally count ing upon you to maintain the honor of the United States
 Have you reflected that a time might come when I could not do both, and have you made yourselves ready to stand behind your Government for inc maintenance of the honor of your country as well as for the mainten- ance of the peace of the country?"
 No matter from what nation man might come, if he is in the United States today as a citizen of this coun- try he must recognize the fact that the interests of America are his in- terests, that the Government is labor Ing under great difficulty in pre- serving his welfare. and that he in turn should contribute some measure of support. He is not supposed to stand idly by, an onlooker in anxious moments. Nor is he expected to kick the underpinnings from those struc- lures that were set up years ago so that men might live under democ- racy. The entire world, made up of kingdoms and such, has been always somewhat jealous of a government by the people. It is so opposed to aris- tocracy that it's success tends to breed unrest inlthe older nations.
 That is why the old line believers Tn the divine right of kings would up- set it. President Wilson stands ready to preserve peace so long as peace can be maintained without loss of honor But the moment honor is at stake he must have something more
