ed the keynote of addresses that he
will deliver in the next 10 days in the
Middle West.
Wilson in Fighting Mood.
Mr.. Wilson was in lighting mood
throughout his addresses. In speech
delivered early in the day, he declared
he always accepted an invitation to
fight. Later he told the railway men
he was an advocate of peace and had
struggled to keep the United States
at peace, but he considered the liber-
ty and honor of the nation even more
important than peace.

plot or who seeks to make party poll

dence over candor, honor and unset
fish, bipartisan service" the President
declared in speaking of his defense
plan before the railroad men. He de-
clared the country expects action.

him." he said amid laughter and ap.
plause.

the text of the address he had pre-.
pared previously for delivery there, he
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause.
Discusses Mexican Policy.
The President discussed his Mexican
policy vigorously. He asserted that
to invade Mexico would mean the los.

Western hemisphere. He cited the
freeing of Cuba as an instance of
good done by the United States.

PROTESTS HOLD-UP OF MAILS
American Note to Great Britain
Against Interference With Neutral
Pouches Made Public.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The text of
the American protest to Great Britain
against interference with neutral
mails, just made public, reveals that
diplomatic and consular pouches have
been treated in a manner the United
States considers "vexatiously inQuisi.
torial."
The note describes the practices Of
British officials as ''unwarranted in
references" and, urgently requesting
prompt reply, points out that "a
strong feeling is being aroused" in
this country by the loss of valuable
letters, while foreign banks are refus-
ing to cash American drafts because
they have no assurances that drafts
are secure in the mails.

The president introduced statistics

Have You reflected" he said, that
the time may come when l can not be
for both peace and war? The time
will come when must take one course.
No one doubts, that given proper time,
we can assert any amount of force
necessary. But when the world is on
fire, how much time do you want to
take to get ready? When you know
that there are combustible materials
in the life of the world and in your
own national life, and that the sky is
full of floating sparks from a great
conflagration, are you going to sit
down and say that when the fire be-

it if we were ready for the fire."
