SEA AND IN TRADE
Not Enough Soldiers to De-
fcnd the Mexican
Border.

President Wilson addressed three
large audiences yesterday. two in To-
,ska and one last night in Kansas
lily.
The PresideAt put dramatic climax
IN his Kansas City speech. He led
he audience of $1,000 in singing
America" He promised to make the
navy OF the United States first in the
world.
The chief Executive in the course
of his remarks made some of the
strongest declarations he has yet ut
'ered.
one that received the greatest ap-
p!ause was that he will use the army
and navy of the United States as fol-
iows:
To maintain the right OF Americans
20 travel on the high seas on legitf-
mate errands.
To maintain the rights of citizens
10 carry on unrestricted commerce
with neutral nations. To sell food and
clothing to peaceful populations
wherever conditions of war make 1t
po~sibe under rules OF international
law.
To maintain the Monroe Doctrine.
Again the President jumped upon
ne pacfists.
He asserted that he did not have
enough soldiers to patrol the Mexi-
can border Unable to do many things
ne should have done because Of lack OF
troops.
He paid tribute to the National
Guard, but said the total of l2s,000 is
too small and besides, they are under
Sato control,
Tie President asserted that the
tuted states surprised the world by
hauling down the flag in Cuba. He
declared that it would do likewise in
tNe Philippines.
