America has not pleasant task to

The Mexican situation is a burden
placed upon the shoulders Of the Am

It will be solved without fuss or

be solved as the people solve their

is the American spirit.
The movement of the troops to the

For five years anarchy has been

WILSON SEES ]. s.
 AS PEACE MEDIATOR
Says We Should Refrain From
 War to Act as Adjuster

Washington, May 17.-[n the speech he delivered at the National Press club Monday night-a speech full of intimate human tOuches-Presiden Wilson indicated that if the country did not keep out of the European war there would be nobody to find the so- lution of the great problem confront ing the world when the war was over. His remarks in this connection strong ly suggested that this government could not be as able to help in the ad- justment following hostilities if 1t be- came a participant i'll the struggle. The whole tenor of his statement con- veyed the opinion that the belliger- ent nations would not be able to make the adjustment themselves. but would have to obtain the help of neutrals.
 If somebody does not keep the processes of peace going" said the president, Eff somebody does not keep their passions disengaged, by what impartial judgment and suggestion is the world to be aided to a solution when the whole thing is over: If you are in a conference in which you know nobody is distlrterested how are you going to make a plan? I tell you, gentlemen, the only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.
 The speech was delivered with the understanding that it was a confiden-

tial talk not to be printed textually, but the president revised the tran script of it yesterday and it was de- cided to give it to the press. Part Of the speech was devoted to some per- sonal touches, as for instance, how the entire population of a town turned out whent he president appeared there and how the president had seriously thought of renting a pair Of whiskers to serve as a disguise.
 Turns to Serious Things.
 After he had talked in a humorous vein along this line, the president spoke of the serious things with which he has had to deal lately. It was a spirit of the country, and a greater strain to decide when the time came whether to do something iii a way that we would prefer not to do it.
 This was an evident reference to the recent crisis with Germany. It had been "up to him." he said to choose when the time came, and he asked: Can you imagine a thing more cal culated to keep a man awake at nights than that?" He had the most imper- feet means of finding out what the people thought, and yet l have got to act as if I knew" That was the bur-
 den of it he added.
 The president said there were two reasons why the chief wish of Amer1- ca was for peace. One of them was their love of peace. The other was that, since the rest of the world was
 mad, as it had been expressed to him, why should we not simply refuse to have anything to do with the rest Of the world in the ordinary channels of action " The burden of the presl- dents remarks was that by Keeping
 ont of the war the United States would he in a superior position to help make peace.
