Repeats Arguments in Be- half of Unreserved Rati- fication-Says League Is G. o. P. Idea

SEATTLE, Sept. 13.-Detailing the purposes for which the United States entered the war, as they were set forth and accepted by congress in his war message, President Wilson told the people of Washington today that the issue squarely facing the country in the treaty debate was whether that program should be carried through or abandoned. He called to mind also the cost in money and in human life by which the war had been won, and as- serted that those opposing the treaty now proposed that the sacrifice should be of no avail.
 In the first day of his stay of more than a week on the Pacific coast, Mir. Wilson spoke during the morning at Tacoma, and then came to Seattle in time to review the Pacific fleet in the afternoon and address a mass meeting at the arena. in the evening. In both thronged every point of vantage to get a glimpse of him, He will rest to- morrow at a Seattle hotel.
 Repeating many of the arguments he has used previously against qualified tions of the treaty by reservations or amendments, the president again ap- pealed to republicans of the country "to forget that there is an election in 1920" It was an American program which the treaty proposed, he said, and to be an American was a thing bigger than being a republican or a democrat He asserted his purpose to read the riot act' to any one who let political conditions dictate his course in rela- tion to the treaty.
 Seattle's downtown section was crowded to it's capacity when Mir. Will sons train arrived and all along the lins of two-mile automobile ride through the city, there was a roar of cheering. The police had strung ropes to keep the spectators on the side walks, but the crowds broke through and shrieking mobs followed the presidents car everywhere.
 Not all of those who wanted to see him could find place in the street through which he passed and side streets, which even afforded a scanty view of the presidential party, were damned Tor a block away. Mir. Will sons car passed along through a storm of confetti released from the tops of the office buildings.
 At a public dinner, which he at tended before going to the arena, MT Wilson said he had been impressed by the uniformity of opinion among the people from ocean to ocean.
 There is no essential division" he said, fin the thought or purpose of the American people. No amount of de- bate will set them off their balance"
 All the world was looking to the United States to put world affairs on a settled basis, he said, adding that the world would not be disappointed.
 Fourteen hundred tickets had beer distributed for the dinner.
 At the arena, which seats $500 there were a few empty seats wher the president began speaking, bui many were standing. When Mir Will son entered the crowd rose an6 cheered him for more than a minute and when he was introduced by Mayor Fitzgerald there was longer demon stration.
 On the stage were Secretary Dan- iels of the navy department, and Ad- miral Rodman, commander of the Pa cific fleet.
 The president began by saying he had heard that one of the former ad visers of the German government saw in some aspects of the treaty hope foi an outcome that might be pleasing tc Germany All over the country it is becoming more and more evident, ht asserted, that the pro- German element was pleased at some of the things thai had developed in the treaty discus. sion
 Asserting he had no doubt that 1T the end the United States would ac. cept it's responsibilities in regard to the peace settlement, he said he was fear full of the effects of some of the things that were being said.
 Applause repeatedly interrupted the speech, while outside the hall a crowd against which the police had closed the doors, kept up such roar of cheering that his words sometimes were drowned out. Pounding on the wall. and doors, the crowd, vainly tryins to get in, at last settled down tc shouting in unison We want Wilson The president digressed to remark that ''the applause is welcome but inoppor tune.7
 The president was cheered when h, said the idea of the league had come originally from republicans.
 When the republicans take thai road I take off my hat and follow" he continued, land I don't care whether lead or not-p
 Declaring Serbia had refused tc "sell the birthright of mankind for any sort of material advantage. the presi. dent continued there was only one way to guarantee the safety of the weal nations, by the strength of the strong nations.
 Again discussing article 10 of the league of nations covenant, the presi. dent declared the United States was not the only nation that was iealou. of it's sovereignty. and consequently there was not the slightest chance thaI article 10 would be construed to over. ride sovereignty in that respect

He said men did no know what was going to happen. ane asked whether any one thought tha' i3if unrest got abroad in the world i would not spread to the United States
