Greatest Reception in His Career

THOUSANDS CHEER MADL]
Half of Nebraska Turns Out to Greet Chief Executive-MOre Than 10, 1000 Hear Him Say America Has As Much Fight As Any Country.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 6.-After a day remarkable for immense crowds and for the enthusiasm displayed in their greeting, President Wilson last night addressed throng that packed the Auditorium to the doors. The nor mai capacity of the house is 10000
 The theme of the presidents speech was the part which America is now playing in the world and the part she must play in the future.
 America has held apart from the conflict with which the rest of tho world is ablaze, not because she was indifferent, not because she was not Interested, but because she wanted to play different part from that. The War has obscured European obejcts which have never been disclosed Eu- rope must understand that before we exert the force of this nation we want to know what we are exerting it for
 There is as much fight in America as in any nation in the world" he said in late phase of his speech, "bu+ she wants to know what for. Wash irgton advised against entangling Flu IOpean alliances, but we must not in terpret that as meaning world entan- elements, for we are a part of the world.
 We want to look forward in the years to come-I wish l could say fol months to come-tO the preservation of peace for the interests of mankind.
 The starting of war can never again be a matter for the decision of single nations. They must submit it to the decision of mankind.'
 MT. Wilson said that after the war this nation must join a league of na- tions to preserve the peace of the world.

Cheered For Four Minutes.


 As the president entered the audi torium the audience cheered him for fully four minutes. His introduction by Governor Moorehead was the sig nal for another outburst. The hall was filled with cries of Our Next President '"Three cheers for Wilson, and "Who saved the Union?' His de- velopment of the reasons for Ameri- cs's nOn-participation in the war was constantly interrupted by cheers. Tt would be very difficult to do jus tice to an occasion of this kind," be- gan the president. He spoke of the importance of the west mentioning Nebraska particularly, and praised the people who come from Europe to seek freedom. The doors to the United States, he said were built to be kept open, not to be closed. He paid trlb- ute to the western pioneers. Since 1890, when internal frontiers i'll the United States disappeared, the president declared, America had talk en on a new aspect and the nation had Eeen growing closer together. It was no coincidence, he said, that soon aft erward interest was shown in Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico.

 Tn order to carry out a program you must have unifcation of spirit in America" he continued. '"There can he no program without a unified course behind it.
 Tt is very important that states men of other nations should under stand America. We have held off from the conf1agration in Europe be- cause we wanted to play different part

Tn a group of ''pioneers" who passed the reviewing stand was one man who obviously had fortified him self too strongly for the occasion. He rolled from side to side, and as he passed the stand his face bore a fixed, uoceasingly amiable smile. He caught the presidents eye, and the glimpse was altogether too much for preslden- tial dignity. MT Wilson and the stand rocked with laughter together
