WILSON ADMITS HE FELT
LIKE FIGHTING IN CRISIS;
NOT SURE OF PUBLIC MIND
President Declares Moral Force Sometimes Requires
Use of Physical-Men Grow or Swell in Office
Yelled Praise of COL House.

WASH iNGToN, May l6.--In a speech
before the National Press Club last night
President Wilson told how he felt during
the crisis through which he has recently
been called TO pilot this Government.
The entire speech was devoted to an
intimate recital OF the Presidents men,
tai experiences and observations since he
entered the White House. Three years
ago he made similar speech to the
National Club, the only difference being
that he was then on the threshold Of
his administration. whereas last nigh, he
was looking backward and giving the
newspaper correspondents the benefit OF
his three years OF reflection.
President Wilson told how he some
times longed to dissociate himself from
the office and even to put on set Of
false whiskers so that he might be freed
from the attention that his official char
acter attracts. He told of the Intellectual
contempt he had for some men who
tried to tell him how to run the Govern
ment-contempt because he knew in ad
vance that he was talking "in vacuo"
MIR. wilson also made what was re-
garded as a reference TO his relations TO
Col. f. NJ. House when he said that
he had been able to find two or three
disinterested men to whom he clung
as advisers. Tho President talked in
timately OF the foreign situation. and at
one point In his speech. referring to our
foreign relations. he said:
III cannot retain my moral infiu-
ence over "A man except by occasionally
knocking him down. then for the sake
OF his soul have got TO knock him
down occasionally"

There Is already a wide divergence be-
tween the position which Secretary Lam
sing has assumed on the general subject
of the British negotiations and the posi-
ton which other advisers believe this
Government should assume. From the
state Department the news comes that
the United States will continue the nego-
uations less vigorously and less eXpe-
ditously than II Germany had not at
tempted to make vigorous action a condi-
tion upon which will rest continuance of
the abandonment of Illegal submarine
warfare.

Information was obtained to-day that
prominent middle Western Senator who
favors Elihu Root will come out in a
statement in Il few days in which he
will advocate the nomination of Justice
Hughes. declaring that the logic OF the
situation calls for his sele ection.
The Hughes sentiment Is growing so
rapidly in Washington, in fact. that a
boom was launched here to-day to make
Charles ". Fairbanks Of Indiana the
Vice. Presidential candidate Mr. Fair
banks IL one of the group OF favorite
sons and has forty delegates already
pledged to him for first place, and eN-
pects to have more before the convention
is called to order.
The drift of Republican sentiment
toward Justice Hughes Is pronounced
among what are known as the "old
Guardsmen." This element OF the party
started out several months ago in an
endeavor to stop Theodore Roosevelt.

Hughes
The old time politicians are frank In
the admissions that Hughes sentiment
has grown steadily instead Of declining.
ard that many of the delegates who
were hand picked for delivery To one
or the other OF the favorite sons have
given notice that after the required com
plmentary votes they intend to get
behind Hughes. Advices OF this char
aCter have come from the West, from
New England and from the South, where
the leaders are hungry for the return
OF a Republican President.

GRANTS RELIEF TO
ALL REQUESTS
SOLDIERS FUND COMMITTEE RE.
PORTS CONSIDERABLE AID "
GIVEN TO DEPENDENTS.

The committee of the soldiers re-
lief fund in its meeting Friday heard
the report of the treasurer which
showed what has been done since the
previous meeting. Considerable re-.
lief has been given dependents Of the
guardsmen now in the border camps
considering the small amount of the
contributions toward this fund. All ap-
plications for aid were given atten-
ton regardless of the fact that the
fund has not been very large and the
report showed that fewer families are
now in need of relief than at first. E6-
forts have been made to get some Of
the promised government aid but con.
siderable official red tape has had to
be gone through to obtain this al
though it is hoped to soon realize
something from this source. The ex.
pectation that the troops may not be
kept much longer on the border makes
the problem Of meeting the applics,
lions for aid somewhat easier tor the
committee. ~e s*%&5

M|LADY NEED NOT
WANT FOR ATTIRE
STYLES IN ALL KINDS OF DRESS
AND GOODS TO MAKE THEM
ABOUND IN SHOPS.

The poet Of old who wrote that the
pageant of autumn is riding past" re.
ferred to the vivid red, gold, blue and
green Of the foliage, yelled with the
purple haze Of Indian summer, when
the over-ripe fruits hang low on the
trees and nuts drop softly on carpet
of brown leaves below. But to the
city dweller, autumn usually means
that the gay, delicately colored gowns
and hats which are worn in summer
by the smart afternoon throngs on the
sunny streets, give way to the more
somber, but not less clever and dressy
clothes of early fall. A window shop
ping stroll serves but to whet the ap-
petite for the countless beautiful
things SO temptingly displayed within.
Ottumwa shops vie with one another
in the beauty and completeness Of
their stock, and hard to please one
must indeed be who cannot be outfit
ted charmingly from tip to toe.
Speaking of toes, footgear is unusual
and very good looking this year. Com
binations are the most distinctive
thing about the fall styles and shoes
are made up in two shades of gray,
taupe, brown and in black and white
mixtures. The tall heels are shaped
but not extreme the long vamp is
good and the tops are very high. So
are the prices.
Hats follow the combination theme,
especially in felts where the two
shades of purple, green and rose are
very pretty. Other odd colors used
much are the Bordeaux, combination
of plum color, tete d'negre myrtle and
metal. Trimmings are largely of rath-
er small appliqued designs Of darning,
beads, fiat silk patterns and many
beautifully tinted flowers are used
Any shape, any size and any color If
becoming to the owner, is good this
fall.
Wool velours, Bolivia cloth, a few
broadcloths, velvets and pushes are
the smartest materials for the suits
and long coats, with the usual serges,
gabardnes and poplins in the palmer
suits and novelties in the business like
top coats. Fur is used extensively
the newest being Hudson seal, mole
and beaver. The skirts are medium
full, smartly tlaring and if anything
a trifle longer than midsummer. The
long coats are very full and sweeping,
with wide sailor collars and cuffs of
fur and exquisitely lined.
Evening gowns are frail and beauti.
full creations of tulle on tulle, with
a foundation of the new silver cloth.
