lest Point, ". Y, June 13.-One hun
-kyN and twenty-four superb young men,
SESS Sr the last time in the gray coat
Sfa' INK trousers OF a cadets Uniform
-epped forward In turn to the battle
monument this morning and received
from the hands of the President OF the
Snitsd States their diplomas OF gradua-
zion from the Military Academy.
They had Just listened to speech from
him in which he touched, even though
lightly, upon the subjects which were
uppermost In their minds. America and
Americsnism; preparedness, its dangers
and the need Of it-these were his themes.
1T is the present imperative duty of
America to be prepared" he said, $50
that mankind will know that when
America speaks she means what she
says" And again:
IAN Of its (America's) force is going
TO be behind its moral idea"
Refers to Danger of Times.
He referred to the dangers Of the times,
and the responsibility therein Of the
men before him, and with his arm
stretched out toward the martial statue
Of Washington astride a horse. behind
them, he defined. perhaps vaguely, the
spirit OF America as he feels 1t.
I'VE are not for anything selfish.
"Americanism consists in utterly be-
putting them first as above anything that
might by chance come into competition
with IL.
And I. for my part, believe that the
American test is a spiritual test"
These were some of his phrases:
He denounced the spirit of militarlsms
but said there were little danger OF II
becoming uppermost in this country, and
he urged his hearers always to be Ameri-
can citizens first, and army officers sec
ond.
Hyphenates Denounced.
The hyphenates were denounced, and
the Monroe doctrine explained, but ex'
cept insofar as the speech reflected
President Wilson'S mind. there was moth
Ing In II which had a direct application
to the political situation.
There was one part Of his speech tc
with which President Wilson did not
clothe It. He said:
Never since l was a youngster have
ever been afraid of the noisy man. have
always been afraid OF the still man.
have always been afraid of the quiet
man"
After the diplomas had been presented
the President and Mrs. Wilson were
taken on a tour Of inspection OF the
academy and the grounds. Luncheon
was served in the superintendent quar-
tiers. and the Presidential party left here
al 3:1s o'clock on board a special train
which went to weehawken over the West
Shore and then to Washington over the

The mid, yet satisfying Chester
field blend is not the result of happy
chance. 1t is one of the results of
our many years of cigarette experience
of the heavy volume of our purchases
of cigarette tobacco-of the prestige
and advantage these enormous pur-
chases give us in securing the choicest
leaf from the tobacco fields Of the world
Chesterfelds are an achievement
A New Thing
for Cigarette to Do
CHESTERFIELDS do the one
" thing you have always wished a
cigarette woaH do-hey satisfy!
Smoke them and we believe YOU
will find that ordinary CT garetteS seem
by comparison almost fiat.
Give Chesterfelds a trial. We
believe you will be glad to learn what
they can teach you about cigarette
enjoyment.
You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about a cigarette If Chester
fields were an mtried cigarette-if we
had not been observing their behavior
In other cities-if we did not KNOW
that they make good with smokers, we
could not afford to make these state
ments to you over our 81 ignature
But these statements. strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your
first Chesterfield
You will find that your own dealer
has Chesterhelds waiting for you.

ALMOST anybody can make cup
II of coffee. But there are said to
L n be not over a half dozen rest
aurants in the United States where
they know how to make it right
Similarly, almost anyone can make
a cigarette. Just roll up some tobacco
in a piece of pure paper - and there
you are.
There are, perhaps, over 800 brands
Of cigarettes sold in this country to-
day. But not one of them does what
Chesterfelds do-for Chesterfelds are
MILD; and yet they SATISFY.
Some cigarettes may be mild, but
they don't satisfy. Only one cigarette
does BOTH-Chesterfeld!
This truly unique cigarette has all
Of that refreshing taste deGcacy Tor
mildness) which any good cigarette
must have. Yet, without sacrificing
any of this delightful mildness, Ches-
terfelds 60 one step further-they do
more than merely please your taste
they let you know yoH've been
smoking. They saasfy
And yet they're mild!
A Step Forrpord
in Cigayette-M Making
WE are proud to be the finn that
w brought about this important de-
velopment in cigarette enjoyment
for that is exactly what the Chesterfield
blend is.
This cigarette IS an outg1owth Of
long earnest effort on the part of this,
the largest cigarette manufacturing
concern in the United States.
