Germany Still Retains
Capacity for Mischief

There is no conjecture about this,
my follow citizens. We know the
former purposes of German intrigue
IN this country, and they are being
revived. Why? We havene reduced
very materially the number Of the
German people. Germany remains
the great power Of Central Europe.
She has more than 60,O0O,O0O people
now. She had nearly 10000 900 be-
lore Poland and other provinces were
taken away. They are expecting the
time of the revival of their power,
and, along with the revival of their
power, goes their extraordinary ca
paclty, in their unparalleled educa-
,ion, their great commerce, finance
and manufacture.
The German bankers and the
German merchants and the German
manufacturers did not want this
war. They were making conquest of
the world without it. They knew
that it would spoil their plans, not
advance them.
There can be only one ineligible
reason for Americas staying out of
this. and that is that she does not
want peace; that she wants war
some time and the advantage which
war will bring to her. And | want
to say now and here that the men
who think that by that thought they
are Interpreting America are making
the sort of mistake upon which it
Will be useful for them to reflect in
obscurity for the rest Of their lives.
1T isn't our intellectual capacity,
my fellow citizens, that has given us
our place in the world, although I
rate that as high as the intellectual
capacity of any other people that
ever lived, but it is the heart that
lies back of the mind that makes
America.
81 hear opponents Of the league
OF nations say that this does not
guarantee peace. No, nothing guar
antees US against human passion and
error. But | like to put this busi-
ness proposition to you-if it in
creases the probability Of peace by,
let US say, 10 per cent, don't you
think 1t is worth while? And in nv
judgment it increases it about SO
per cent.
Il suppose there is intellectual ex-
citemcnt in debate, but l do not ex-
perience any when great issues like
this are pending. and I would be
very sad indeed if I did not have an
absolutely unclouded confidence in
the result"

Wilson Is Idealist
Has No Set Plan

am not dogmatc about this
matter. | cant presume that know
how it should be done. | know the
principle upon which it should be
done. The principle is that the in
terest OF capital and the interes. Of
labor are not different, but are the
same.
"You can't any longer regard labor
as commodity. You have got to
regard It as means of association,
and when that is done the Pre- duction
of the world is going to 90 forward
by leaps and bounds.
"Why is it that labor organizations
seriously limit the amount of work
they have in hand to do? 1t is be-
cause they are driving hard bargains
lney don't feel that they are your
partners at all. And so long as labor
and capital are antagonstic produc-
ton is going to be at iGs minimum.
Just so soon as they are sympathetic
and cooperative it is going to abound,
and that will be one of the means
of bringing down the cost of living.
America, though we do not like to
admit 1t, has been very provincial in
regard to the worlds business. When
we had to engage in banking t1ans-
actions outside of the United States,
we generally did it through English
banks or more often through Ger
man bankers, and here, all of sud
den, we are called upon to handle
the bulk of international exchange.
We have to learn it, and we have to
learn it fast.
"We have got to have American in
strumentalities in every part of the
world. If you want to trade YOU
have to have somebody to trade with.

conscience of every man who lives
/.

conscience of every man who lives
in this country.
cone Of the chief clements that
makes an American is that in almost
every other country there is some class
that dominates or some governmental
authority that determines the course
of policy, or some ancient system of
land laws that limits the freedom of
land tenure, or some ancient custom
which puts man into particular
groove in the land in which he lives,
and there ia none of that in America
We do not have to square ourselves
with standards that have been followed
ever since our GREAT grandfathers. We
are very much more interested in be-
coming great grandfathcrs than in
having had great grandfathers, because
our view is to the future.
1--WE arc the predestined mediators
OF mankind. Really, then, when ]
hear gentlemen saying we must keep
out of this thing and take care of
ourselves | ask where did they come
FROM Is there nobody else in the
world that we care for?

mixture of blood? Why, my fellow
citizens, that is a fundamental mis-
conception of what it is to be an
American. These gentlemen are do
ing 4 harm which they do not realize.
] want to testify to you here to-
night, my fellow countrymen, because
have the means of information,
that since it has seemed to be un-
certain whether we are Going to play
this part of leadership in the world
the old intrigues have started up in
the country again.
"That hyphen which looked to us
like a snake, the hyphen between
German and American, has reared
its head again. You hear the hiss of
its purpose. and what is that pur-
pose? 1t is to keep America out of
the concert Of nations in order that
America and Germany, being out of
that concert, may some time in their
mistaken dream unite to dominate
the world, or, at any rate. the one to
assist the other in holding the ma
tions of the world off while it's am
bltlOns are realized.

Statesmen Needed Now,
Not Provincials, EIe Says

Eve have either got to be provin-
cials or statesmen. We have either
got to be ostriches or eagles. Ths
ostrich is being overdone all around.
] see gentlemen bury their heads in
something and think that nobody
sees that they have submerged their
thinking apparatus. That is what [
mean b. beng an ostrich. Now what
] mean by being an oagle-I needn't
describe 1t. | mean leaving the mists
lying close to the ground, getting
upon strong winds into those spaces
where you can see all the affairs of
mankind, all the affairs of America,
seeing how the world appears.
This is an effective covenant. 1t
is carried out by the attitude of the
lrishman who Went into one Of those
antique institutions known as the
saloon and saw two men fighting in
the corner. He went to the bartender
and said Is this private fight or

abolishing private fighting and max
ing q law Of mankind that it is every
body's business and everybody can
get in and consequently there will
be no attempts at private fighting.

Secret Treaties Called
A Poisonous Growth

"Thc treaty provides that every
secret treaty Will be invalid. One
of the difficulties in framing this
treaty was the fact that after we got
over there private secret treaties
were sDrnglNg up on all sides like
noXlous growth. You had to guard
your brcathiAg apparatus against the
Iniasma that arose from it.
But they were treaties and the
war had been fought on the principle
OF the sIcrctness of treaties. We

our minds adjusted to the world.

People of Lichtenburg Suf- fering From Hunger and
 as Result of LoOting
gy Associated Press

Berlin, Monday, March 10.-The prog ress of the government troops against the Spartacans necessarily is slow. owing to the need of thoroughly clean ing up the reconquered parts of the city This means that Lichtenburg prob ably cannot be reached Inside of two days. The populace of Lichtenburg Is suffering severely from hunger and as a result of footing.
 The second important Spartacan stronghold Is Weissensee, suburb of Berlin. The Spartacans also are strong ly entrenched in Copenick, Neukolin and Rummelsburg.
 The correspondent today talked with a colonel of the government forces who estimated the Spartacans at about 5000. He admitted, however, that his figures were merely guess work. The colonel said that in addition to heavy and light artillery the Spartacans have scores of machine guns.
 The government troops are advancing in four columns-Colonel Reinhardt's s division to the north, General Won Ro- den's marines in the middle, with a guard of cavalry and riflemen next southward, and General Huelsen's vol unteers from the 0irection of Schoen- burg. Their conduct and discipline are exemplary.
 The eastern and southern parts of the city are still closed to all traffic. The inhabitants are suffering greatly from priyationS.

TO CONSIDER BOUNDARIES
 Qv Aseoriafed PresS

Paris, March 12-The council of the five great nations has decided that the question of the Turkish boundaries shall not be passed upon by the boundaries commission but shall be acted upon by the supreme council.
 The boundary between Albania and Jugo-Slovakia also has been reserved for action by the supreme council ana will be considered together with the en- tire Adriatic question and the delimlta- tion of the boundaries of Italy anG Jugo- -Slovakia The west German bound ary also has been reserved for action by the supreme council because of it's many complexities.
 The dicision to withhold the Turklsh' west German and Adriatic boundary diff ferences from the boundaries commission will not result in delay, as the couhcii probably will dispose of them as soon as the boundary commissions report It completed and the entire territorial ques- ton will be passed on at once, as much confusion would result from attempts to do piecemeal work.
 Countries having several Doundarles under question would endeavor to make up on one frontier what is denied on another All boundaries will be passed on and become part of the peace treaty. At least they will be generally outlined. but it may be necessary to leave minor details to the technical commission which will make surveys and inNestiga- tionS.

N, c. & St. l.. Clerks Walk Out and Tie-Up of Road Virtually Complete
 Last Night
By Associated Press

Atlanta, March 12.-Both sides to the controversy arising out of the walk out yesterday of some 1900 clerks on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad remained firm tonight in their determination not to give in. B. L. Winchell, regional director, is- sued a statement today saying the Washington officers of the clerks brotherhood "state that the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis strike Is li- legal, because the men failed to use the good offices of board number three in an effort to settle their griev- ance against A. P. Ottarson, federal auditor of the road.
 'I urge them to return at once to their old places as quick as possible" the statement added.
 The clerks walked out yesterday be- cause of MT. Winchell's refusal to dis charge Ottarson, whom the clerks as- sert was discriminating against them, and tonight E. M. McGhee, local chair man of the clerks brotherhood, said the men would remain out until Ottac- son was removed. He said the clerks had no charge to make against the ad- justment board to which MT. Winchell referred, but that they had to act quickly, as Ottarson was making great lnrOduS against the union ana would have crippled" it while the board was adjusting the matter
 MT. McGhee also denied that the Washington brotherhood officials were not supporting the strike, and asserted that the men would remain out not only until Ottarson was removed, but until they were assured that they would not lose their pay while out and would not lose seniority rights.

Judgment Against Czar,
 But Faces NeW Problem

Nicholas was deposed and, according to generally accepted reports, slain.
 MT. Naumberg recently learned that the Czar had s1,000,000 on deposit in the National City bank here. He ob- tained a court judgment for s117,4 but upon presenting it to the bank was informed that the bank could not pay out any of the fund unless Nicholas either were served with notice or were proved dead. He then applied for ap- pointment of a receiver for the fund, hoping to obtain satisfaction from the receiver. Justice Benedict denied the application, however, telling MT. Naum- berg it would be necessary first to serve Nicholas with notice or after proving him dead to serve notice upon his next of kin. The next of kin would be his wife, if she is alive, if not, his cousin if alive, if not, Michael Romanoff, his brother, who. at last accounts, was alive.
