Says American Navy Is Fit
But Army Not Even Suf-
6Cient for Peace Times

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Fit for continuance
of his military preparedness stumping
tour after strenuous day yesterday,
President Wilson arose early, and hao
breakfast with Mrs. Wilson at s
clock. After seeing a number of Wis
itOrs at his hotel, he left shortly be-
fore 10 O'Clock for the Rock Island
station, destined for another full day.
His next goal is Des Moines, with
rear platform speeches at Joliet, Of
tawa, Rock Island, Moline, Davenport,
Iowa City, Grinelle and Newton.
The president last night delivered
here one of the most important speech
es of his political career, abounding in
pointed paragraphs, of which some of
the more prominent were:
"The American navy is ready for
war, but the American army is scarcely
sufficient for the requirements of peace
time. -
"This war was brought on by rulers,
not by peoples. "
CLAW has broken down.. "
"We may have to assert these prin-
ciples of right and humanity at any
time
"The force of American public opin-
ion is not going to stop the war,
81 did not come away from Wash
ington because I had the least misgiv-
ing as to what the United States was
going to do but that you
might have from my lips the assurance
of the absolute necessity that these
things (preparedness) should be done,
thoroughly done, and done very soon. !"
"It is probably fortunate circum-
stance that America has been cried
awake by those voices of the disturbed
and REDEEMED night when fire sweeps
sullenly from continent to continent"
At the same time, he declared that
the nation must prepare itself for DOS
sibilities ahead, and must be ready to
maintain justice on this continent. He
called it false that America has remain
ed aloof from the conflict because Of
money to be made from the struggle.
A disguised Austrian arrested while
trying to see the president last night
caused temporary stir.

tors in front of his hotel before depart.
ing, but Mrs. Wilson tucked herself
INTO a corner of their limousine and
ana not give them even a slanting shot.
Mounted officers kept back the crowds.
The president s train arrived at 10
O'Clock. Previously a few enthusiasts
broke through the guard of secret serv-
ice men at the train and eheered the
executive.
