INHr. Wilson Goes Out to
lNl Arouse the Nation

In Cleveland on January 20, 1916, he
said:
81 should feel that was guilty of an un-
pardonable omission IL did not go out and
tell my fellow countrymen that new circum-
stances have arisen which make it absolutely
necessary that this country prepare herself,
not for war, not for anything that smacks in
the least Of aggression, but for adequate ma
tional defence"
At Kansas City on February 8, 1916
he told the Westerners that he favored
IAN impregnable navy"
At Des Moines, Iowa, where he encoun-
tered farmers, he said on February i:
There are actually men in America who
are preaching war There are men who want
the United States to have entanglng alli-
ances abroad"
He did not, he said, think these war agi-
tators represented the voice of America.
The background at this period showed
fight at Washington over the resolution
"to warn Americans off belligerent ships"
as indicated by this dispatch;
Washington, March 7, 1916.-By a vote Of
276 to 143 the House of Representatives to-
day killed the McLemore resolution warning
Americans off armed belligerent ships.
THE President Begins Now to
i Assume a Militant Attitude
Rid of Bryan and beset with demands
for preparedness on one side, by demands
for war on another and by German aggres-
sion at sea on a third, the President be-
gan to show a militant attitude, as indi-
Gated by this note to Berlin on April 10,
1916:
"Unless the imperial government should
now Immediately declare and effect an aban-
donment of its present methods of submarine
warfare against passenger and freight-carry-
ing vessels. the government of the United
States can have no choice but to sever diplo-
matte relations with the German Empire al
together This action the government of the
United States contemplates with the great
est reluctance, but feels constrained to take
in behalf Of humanity and the rights OF neu-
trail nations"
But he clung to the vision of peace again
in his speech at Charlotte, N. C., May 20,
4el6, when he said:

seemingly in conflict as to when Am
erlean troops should be sent to France
particular interest attaches to con-
ference at the White House Monday
between pre5idea, Wilson and Rene
Viyiani head Of the French mission
Decision rests with the president
through his Constitutional function as
commander in chief Of the army and
navy.
Stripped Of all military pros and
cons, the proposal made by Marshal
Joffre is understood here as provid-
ing that a small force of American
troops possibly a division numbering
1900 to $4,000 men, be sent at the
earliest possible moment to French
soil for the sentimental effect its pres
ense would have upon the French and
the Germans Admittedly no Amer
lean force that will be available for
months could greatly influence the
military situation by force Of arms.
On one point there is complete
agreement between Mr. Joffre and the
American officers; both believe that
any force sent to France, large OF
small, must be given additional train
ing on French soil behind the battle
lines.
