WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-
President Wilson leaves WASH
ington this evening on a lo.oeo-
mile speaking tour Of the United
States in nm effort to convince
the people that the peace trsaty
should be ratified as II stands.
He will attempt to solidify public
opinion in favor OF the treaty 30 that
pressure will be brought to bear on
opposition senators from their homo
territories. TO change their attitudes.
In this endeavor to create an ir-
resistible demand for quick ratifica.
ton. the president. 1t was learned to-
day. will make bald statements OF
what he considers the facts. rather
than oratoricai efforts.
His itinerary calls for invasion of
the states OF some OF his principal
opponents in the senate. Most OF his
speeches will be delivered west oe
Chicago. where the administration
believes antipathy to the treaty II
strongest.
To Review Fleet
Special attention is to be de-
voted TO the Pacific coast. where
the people. according TO Their
senators. are suspicious Of Japan
and resentful Of the ShantunR
settlement whereby Japan gets
important grants in China. In
addition TO his speeches on the
coast the president will review
the Pacific fleet at Seattle, Sep
tember 13.
One Of Wilson'S arguments for rat
ification is expected to be that the
industrial unrest and high prices era
cannot end until real peace is estab-
lished thru acceptance OF the treaty.
He plans to explain his reasons for
committing the United States to the
league of nations. and in fact make
n personal report to the American
them the why's and "wherefores."
The presidents addresses have not
been prepared in advance. due to
pressure of other duties at the White

he will jot down on the train. When
his opponents in the senate reply.
