 According to the information. the role of neither was entirely unselfish It is alleged that Germany WAS anxious that the United States become involved with Mexico. It is alleged that the represen- strenuously exerted themselves in the in terest of peace
 1t is alleged that Germany was moved through two motives. Were the United States at war. it is certain that the unreasonable quantity of ammunition until recently leaving this country daily for the consumption of the allies, would be claimed by the government and re- routed to the Mexican border. And it is said that Germany is very anxious to re- new it's submarine warfare against Eng- fish commerce, and that it could easily do so were the United States engaged in hostiities on it's own account
 It is alleged that England and France were moved through directly opposite reasons. It is said that they would have continued the shipments from America of munitions of war, and that they would have the United States remain at peace in order that this nation. as the most

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, invigor- ating air and exercise must take pre- ness, as fat acquired by indoor life is unhealthy and danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh is said to weaken the oxy- gen carrying power of the blood, so that it is unable to produce strong mus cles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the re- suit.

 ence Hall. He left for Washington imme- diately after the address.
 TEXT OF ADDRESS The full text of President Wilson's ad- dress follows:
 You will understand that I have not come here to make an extended address. do not need to explain to you the cir- cumstances which made it impossible that I should prepare an extended address; but count myself fortunate to be able to leave my duties at Washington long enough to face this interesting company of men who have the very fine conception that it is their duty to lift the standards and ideals of their profession.
 T understand, gentlemen, that you have associated yourselves together in order to promote candor and truth in the advertisement of your business. wish very much, gentlemen, that candor and truth might always be the standard of politics as well as the standard of business. I want to challenge your at tention for a moment to this aspect of your activities. I do not see how a man
 
 in the promotion of a particular busi ness without studying the life of the great nation to whom he addresses his advertising. I do not see how a man can fail, having estab blished the horizon of his business where the great hills of truth lie, to lift his eyes to the great multiple of laboring men and striving ( men who constitute a great nation like ours, and in the very act of addressing them get in his own consciousness some part of the impulse of their life. You cannot commend your business to peo- pie that you do not understand and you cannot understand the people of the Uni ted States without wishing to serve them.
 "So I come to you with this thought: America is at a point, gentlemen, where it is more than ever necessary that she should understand her own ideals, not only that, but be ready to put them into | action at any cost. It is one thing to entertain fine principles and another thing to make them work It is one thing to entertain them in the formulas of words like the splendid words which were uttered and gave distinction to this an- i cient and historic building behind me l but it is another thing to do what these l same men did, make these words live | in the action of their lives. And America | is summoned in each new generation to renew not only the pledges that those men made, but to renew the example which they gave to the world. NOT SELFISH INTEREST "I am not interested and I beg that | you will believe me when I say that never have been interested in fighting 1 for myself, but I am immensely inter- ested in fighting for the things that I believe in. and so far as they are con

 That night when I reached home my watch was lying on my table, just where had left it when 1 dressed hurriedly and went away that morning. Can you beat that?'
 Hard luck for the girl you had ar rested however" I suggested
 T should say it was, he declared 'and worse than you know, because l didn't stop at merely having her ar rested.''

 Some people here smile indulgently at other people who make open love-thats s the general term, I believe-on the Coney Island boats. and on the trains, subways, etc. Over on the drive at Seventy sixth street, however, is a place where autoists stop and gaze at the river by night. Looking into several cars stopped there bn nj ph pd thrOnOh hQ windows of some handsome limousines, I beheld activities that told very plainly that the occupants were not married-to each other, at least.

 This regiment, it is thought, will be raised within the next week or 10 days. Major Steiner is now awaiting word from Washington authorizing him to proceed with the organization of the regiment, and he does not anticipate that there will be any hitch in the matter of sc curing authority.
 Twelve of the most prominent citizens of Montgomery, the majority of whom are former officers of the National Guard, met with Maj. R. E. Steiner of this city this afternoon for the purpose of taking immediate steps toward the mobilization of two volunteer companies in Montgomery. Among those meeting with him were Gen. Bibb Graves, for mer adjutant general; Maj. Ben F. Kolb, Capt. James s. Harris, Capt. Will T. Sheehan and others.

New York, June -(SpeciaL)-"I have always had horror of being buried alive' said John Gillian, who came to New York city from Atlanta sometime before Caruso began paying his annual visit to that Georgia city.
 Indeed" I answered meaninglessly, yet feeling that he had something to un- burden.
 Yes" he resumed, "and for that req son I did not like living here for a long time, one has to go underground so often in Manhattan I used to live in Brooklyn and came over in the tube every day. I never liked it and going under East river was always an un- pleasant sensation to me. You know, don't you, how one's ears seem to feel as if someone were pressing against the drums? The feeling is similar to that you get as you come down out of the top of a skyscraper in a plunger elevator only under the river the sensations is more pronounced.
 Well, anyway" he continued, T was right under the river one day, in the sub when there was a terrible explosion, and all the lights went out just like that. It was before they had installed the little emergency lights in the sub way trains. I was about as near a real faint as 1 have ever been, but in an- other instant, almost. the lights were on again and we were rolling on toward the Manhattan side.
 Tt then occurred to me that the dark ness afforded a good opportunity for pickpockets, and l glanced at my neigh bors on either side. On my right, there was no one, but on my left sat re- markedly pretty girl who certainly did not look as if she ever picked pocket unless she did it with the tool called love Next, I felt for my watch-it was gone!
 There was nothing to it. That girl was the only one who could possibly

 DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT
 The Wilson advantage is tacitly ad- mitted however, in that he will begin with IA electoral votes-those of the solid south, including Oklahoma and Maryland.
 His strength will be increased, the re- publiGans admit, in that he has averted the European war cloud from the Amer ican horizon In New York, it will be the people lined up against Wall street determined to punish the administration because the administration deprived it of it's former control of the worlds money market.
 And while the republicans decline to admit it. the democrats are certain that the record of the administration will be upheld by the people generally and that the people of the nation are determined to rebuke the professional German in attempting to nominate Hughes and con trol politics of the United States.
