AMER|C ANS N is
NOT BLUSTER,
SAYS WILSON
Nation Should Not Garry a Chin on
Its Shoulder
TALKS TO WEST POINT men
President Tells Graduates Only Those
Who Put America First Should
Be Tolerated.

West Point, June 13.-Making his
first address since the presidential cam
paign began, President Wilson today
discussed preparedness, militarism,
Americanism, the causes of the war in
Europe, peace, the Monroe doctrine,
divided allegiance, and the ideals of
America. lie declared it is the imper-
atiye duty of the United States to be pre-
pared, adding that mankind is going
to know that when America speaks it
means what it says"
The President said the United States
should not be a clustering nation, a
nation with chip on its shoulder
but calm nation which will withhold
its hand as long as possible and strike
only for victory
The Presidents address ran through
almost the entire list of subjects dis
cussed by former Justice Hughes in his
telegram accepting the Republican
nomination, and he declared the Unit
ed States is ready to join other ma
tions to see that the kind of justice il
believes in is given
Shaking his finger emphatically the
President told the graduates OF the
! military academy and large audience
that nobody who does not put Ameri
ca first can be tolerated. He added
however that true Americans should
set good example.
The President declared the present
war did not come by accident but thai
it had to come. The United State:
wants nothing from Europe, he said
and there is nothing it wants which Il
| must get by war.
The word "Americanism' was use(
today by the President for the frs
time in recent addresses. He warned
the graduates against militarism.
| The speech was interrupted fire
quently by applause and he was chez
| ed as he concluded.

"Fultonville, June 3.-This morning

few intimate friends being present.
The ceremony was performed at II
o'clock by the Rev. c. II. Dow, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church, The
bride wore a dark blue travelling gown
with hat to match and carried a bou-
guet of white carnations. She was
given away by her father, George
'Horning. After a brief trip through
the Berkshires the young couple will
reside at No. SO Grove street., Rutland
Vt. The bride is one of the most at.
tractiye members of the younger set

ate from the F'ultonyille High school
in the class of 1911, and since has
been a successful teacher She will be
greatly missed from her home circle

NEW RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
Great Trial of Strength with Austria
Yet to Come.

The similarity between Gen Brush
lofts advance in the past week and
the Russian drive against the Aus
trians at the beginning of the war is
generally commented on at Petrograd.
One difference, however, is pointed out
that Gen. Brusiloff's initial blow has
been considerably more effective and
that the retreat of the Austrians be-
fore it more precipitate than during
the initial events of 1914.
The net result of the weeks opera
tions has surpassed the expectations
of the most ardent believers in the
southern leaders ability. With up
ward of 10000 prisoners (the latest
official statements now place the num-
Der of prisoners at about 10S,000) and
immense booty and with the COM
munications between the Austrian ar
mics around Czartorysky and Rata
loka. and those in the neighborhood
of Czernowitz seriously threatened,
there is great rejoicing among the mill
tary and civilian population.
The military authorities regard the
piercing of the Austrian line along
the Stripa as perhaps of greater i'm
| portance than breaking through at
Lutsk. Assuming that the Austrians,
even with the aid of the Germans, are
unable to push the Russians back
here, it will mean that the Austrians
themselves must fall back along the
whole line northward and quickly, in
order to maintain formidable front
1t is pointed out that an orderly re
treat with such gigantic armies is an
extremely difficult task. Once they
are on the move and with the Rus
slams pounding at their rear, it is con
tended the great drive of 1914 through
Poland and Galicia is likely to be re
peated
At the same time the militar!
critics warn the people that the grea
trial of strength between Gen Brusilof
and Gen Won Linsingen is yet 4
come and that it remains to be seel
! If the latter is able really to strik
back effectively. They add that

This loss by night assault is admit

says, however, that the Germans were

Following the lull after the capture
of Fort de Vaux, the Germans brought
up fresh effectiyes, reformed their
lines, and advanced their artillery to
positions from which they have now
begun a methodical pounding of the
main French defenses, especially the
powerful batteries at Tavannes and
Fort de Souvile.
The French, on their part, have not
been idle Thiaumont Farm bristles

which leads to the French positions,

for Colamer-Edmunds in t880-84.
The session OF the republican ma.
tional convention calls to mind the
fact that Col. Z. b. Sawyer of Hyde
Park is one of the very few delegates
now living to the convention held in
Chicago in 1860 which nominated
Abraham Lincoln. During the past
year another delegate to that conyen-
ton, ex-Gov. John w. Stewart OF Mid
dlebury, has died.
At that convention Vermonts 10
votes on the first ballot were cast for
Senator Jacob Collamer of this state.
In the conventions of 1880 and 1884
Senator George +. Edmunds of Yer
mont was a presidential candidate
The republican correspondence de
scribing at that time the details OF the
convention Of 1884 said that the
speech Of Gov, John ID. Long made at
midnight placing Senator Edmunds in
nomination was the greatest effort OF
Mr.. Longs life and made the speaker
a man of national reputation.
The speeches of Mr.. Long and
George William Curtis in support Of
Edmunds were called the strongest
made in behalf Of any candidate,

FOR AMERICANISM

Republican Candidate RedefineS
Attitude Toward RyphenateS
MOOSE Chief WILL HELP
Prominent Progressive Leaders Among
Callers at Former Justices Head
Quarters Yesterday.

New York, June 13.-Charles T..
Hughes today defined his attitude to-
ward German-American support as one
OF "undiluted Americanism.", IN the
first statement issued since his accept
ance of the republican nomination for
president he said:
Il stated my position very clear
ly in my telegram to the conven-
tion. My attitude is one of un-
diluted Americanism and anybody
that supports me is supporting an
out and out American and an out
and out American policy abso-
lutely nothing else"
The nominees day, busy one, was
devoted almost exclusively 20 receiv-
ing callers His vicitors were more
numerous than yesterday There were
so many of them at one time that q
line was formed and they filed past to
shake hands and chat for a moment
instead of waiting to be received
alone. Several progressive leaders and
republican supporters of Col Roosevelt
were among them.
Everett Colby of New Jel soy, who
placed John NJ. Parker in nomination
for the vice presidency at the pro-
gressive convention and Theodore
Douglass Robinson, nephew of Col.
Roosevelt and former progressive
leader in New York, called during Mr..
Hughes absence at luncheon. They
left word that they would return in a
day or so to deliver in person their
pledges of support. Oscar S. Straus
sent telegram from Cleveland pledg-
ing support and followed in person
later to congratulate the nominee and
reiterate his pledge.
