WILSON'S THEME,
"AMERICANISM"
Delivers an Address In Arlington
National Cemetery,

Washington, May 31.-President
Wilson took "Americanism" as the
text for an address which he delivered
at the Memorial day exercises at Ar.
Iington national cemetery. Some
Americans, he said. have allowed
their old ardor for another nationality
to overthrow their ardor for the ma
tionality to which they have given
their new and voluntary allegiance,
and this division of allegiance threat
ems the nation with new crisis as
important as that involved in the
struggles OF the civil war.
Americas task is never finished,
Mr., Wilson said, but always the ma

ward union and this task has been
given critical aspect by their cur
rents Of sympathy set up by the Eu-
ropean war. The president defended
his proposal for a world court to en-
force peace against the attacks which
have been made upon 1t, based upon
Washington's warning against "en-
tangling alliances"
The closing passages of the presi-
dents speech were devoted to discus
sion of preparedness. He said the es-
sence of the military problem before
the country is the spiritual compul-
sion which is TO be applied. He de-
clared his Willingness to favor "uni.

was confident America does not wish
anything but the compulsion Of the
spirit OF America.

Washington, May 31.-The house,

adopted an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill increasing the num-

fifty. Proposals to provide for six
battle cruisers instead of five and tn
add two dreadnoughts and two scout

after lively fight.
So decisive were the votes against
additional battle and scout cruisers
that the bigger navy advocates virtu-

have been urging that it would be bet

against the battleship proposal.
A vote of 109 to SO defeated the
proposal to construct six battle crtlis-

vote against the proposal to increase
the number Of scout cruisers from
four to six was so Overwhelming that
roll call was not sought.
Representative Ricketts,. Emerson

Secretary of State C. Q. Hildebrant
has some reason to resent the silence
of Governor Willis in Withholding en-
dorsement from his administration
and candidacy for reelection. Indeed
it is made to appear that the COVER
nor's associates are trying to produce
a candidate against "Hildy" just as
they did against Arnold. But this is
most unkind in view of the secre-
tary's proud endorsement of the gov
ernor just few days ago, and his
emphatic statement that under no cir
cumstances, regardless of stirring am
bition, would he enter the lists against
Willis as he had been importuned to

mics, one war plot is home-bred, and
in it the red blood of Canadian boys
and girls takes vigorous part. The
potato war plot" of the children of
Ontario has netted $1,S43 in cash, and
a motor ambulance was bought and
sent to the war zone, so that the
papas and uncles of the Canadian
children would have another friend
to stand by them. The Ontario de.
partment of agriculture furnished the
potato seedlings for some $500 of
these plots, and the boys and girls of
"a counties participated in the work.
Although a poor crop resulted in
many cases, the school pupils were
able to send bright new ambulance,
inscribed to tell the tale of their
work in the hot sun.

Boston-Results are beginning to
show in the new movement started a
year ago by the Massachusetts board
of education in training the coming
generation how to govern itself.
When the present school children of
the Old Bay state shall become voters
1t is promised that Massachusetts,
shall have a government truly and
intelligently by the people. Those
college-bred few who presumably
know good from evil, but seldom vote
for either, and those under-college
many who may or may not know. but
who vote just the same, at the dicta-
ton OF a boss-all these in the hap
py days of the future cast their bal
lots as regularly as they pay taxes,
and cast them independently. That,
at any rate, is the intention of the
education board The means to this
end is radical reorganization of the
method of teaching civil government
in the public schools. The children
are to grow into citizenship as a hab-
it, and will not suddenly become citi-
zens at 81.
