to its feet was that he would do his

President Tells Cleveland Citizens
American interests Are Rcina
Drawn Into Maelstrom.


Cleveland, Jan, 3I.--President Wit
son. In his speech before 1000 persons
at Gray's armory here. asked the au.
dience Ii II were willing to stand be-
hind the government IL Ii took a stand
to maintain the honor OF the country;
said in one breath the people asked
him to keep them out of war and in
the next breath told him they were
willing to stand behind him In case of
conflict, And he incidentally referred
to the fact, that while our navy Is
ranked second by some statesmen, that
1t Is In reality fourth and should be
improved at once.
The president introduced statistics
to show the apparent weakness of the
navy and ominously mentioned that
ALI the world outside the United
States Is on fire."
Must Take One Course.
Have you reflected" he said that
the time may come when | 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 readyT When you know
that there are comhustible materials
in the life OF the world and in your
own national life. and that the sky Is
full of floating sparks from great
conflagration, are you going to sit
down and say that when the fire be-
gins II Is time to do something
about 1t"
II do not believe that the fire is so
ing to begin: but | should be surer OF
II II We were ready for the fire."
do you wonder men see rede" he
declared. Our interests are slowly
being drawn into this maelstrom. II is
difficult to hold of. We have done so.
But 1t has needed great deal of
watchfulness and unremitting Pc
tience"
