WILSON PLANS
TOUR OF U. S.
President Seeks Public View on
World League, Says Paris
Dispatch.
MAY MAKE TRIP IN MARCH
Plans to Return to Peace Conference
After Learning countrys Opinion
Gives Dinner to Members of
American Commission.

Paris, Jan. 15.-President Wilson is
considering speaking tour Of the
United States when he returns home.
1t is said that this trip will take him
into many of the principal cities and
1t is possible that he may touch the
Pacific coast. His plans are not as
yet matured, but it is believed that he
has discussed the plan with his adj
yisers.
With congress out Of the way early
in March Mr. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such Tour before re-
turning to Europe should he follow his
original plan and if his return should
be necessary. He would also have
time for his proposed trip before the
converting of an extraordinary session
Of congress should he decide to call
one.
So far as known, Mr.. Wilson has no
plans for an extra session, but he still
holds to his idea of returning to the
peace congress, if 1t is felt his presence
is necessary to the success Of the
league of nations
To Sound Public Sentiment.
The object Of his proposed speaking
tour would be to inform the country
by personal contact Of the proceedings
at Paris and at the same time sound
out and encourage public sentiment in
support Of the peace principles he has
enunciated and which he feels have
been acclaimed by the masses in Eu-
rope.
There are as yet no official announce
ments of the presidents purpose. but
some OF those close to him suggest
such trip is feasible in view of the
fact that it Is now certain that the
peace congress will still be working
on its problems during the summer
Mr. Wilson's frieRds believe that pop
ular expressions IN the United States
might support those of England
France and Italy and have great in
fluence ON European statesmen.
The president has told his friends
that he considers the receptions given
him by the people Of Europe, not as a
personal Endorsement but an approval
OF his peGce PRINCIPLES He is being
urged therefore, to make speaking
tour to give opportunity for popular
manifestations Of public opinion in his
own country.

Reserve District.
HALF OF POPULATION BOUGHT
Grand Total of Sales of Fourth Liberty
Loan is Placed at $S,572,S5O for
Kenosha comty-Get Ready for
Fifth Loan Campaign Now.

The final statement of the sales of
the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds in
Kenosha county has just been made
public by the officials of the Seventh
Reserve District and it shows that
Kenosha is leading the district by a
wide margin and the state by even
a wider margin.
With sale of 1890 of the quota as
signed to the county, the leadership of
Kenosha has attracted wide attention.
The total subscriptions TO: the
Liberty Loan bonds in Kenosha county
was 1852, $4,000 and the total num-
Der of subscribers to the loan was
1886, much larger number of sub
scribers than had been reported to any
of the loans offered by the government
to finance the war. Careful estimators
believe that one-half of Il the in
habitants in Kenosha, above the age
of FIVE years were subscribers to the
loan. 1t is doubtful if any county
in the Seventh Reserve District
can show so large proportion of
subscribers.

American coast had made her familiar
to every schoolboy. and the plan OF
the Navy Department was quickly and
effectually squelched.
The Navy Department thereupon
offered her to the State Of California
IS a training ship for that States
Naval Militia, and she was used In
that capacity throughout the war with
Germany. Her slowness and her age
barred her from active service either
overseas or as a harbor patrol boat on
the Atlantic coast. She would have
been easy prey to a German subma-
rine.
The Oregon was designed by Lewis
Nixon. one OF the most famous Of
American naval designers, who re-
Gently was appointed by Gov. Smith
as Public Service Commissioner. She
was OF the Indiana class, and her keel
was laid In 1891, the ship being put
In commission some two years later.
At the time she was built the Oregon

Horn and the tremendous amount Of
publicity and favorable comparison
with other ships that this feat brought
her. she has always been regarded by
Americans generally as a very fast
vessel. although as a matter of fact
she was much slower than many war
vessels Of her time. aud a great deal
slower thar any ship constructed
within the last ten years. Her official
rating was only fifteen knots. and on
her best trials she never did more
than sixteen. During the entire trip
from San Francisco to Key West, ac-
cording to the best available records,
she never exceeded fourteen and a
half knots. and most of the time she
averaged between ten and eleven.

nance experts theorized and debated
among themselves vigorously whether
a projectile at long range would or
would not do certain things. Similarly
they were not agreed as to the capac-
ity of the shell to bite" the face OF
the armor and to erect penetration
when hitting the steel at rather acute
angles. Further It was recognized
that a high explosive charge was es-
sential to offensive success, and the
problem was to make sure that the
detonator in the fuse would delay ac-
ton so that the burst would not take
place until after the projectile had
passed through the armor plate.
When our battle fleet lined up be-
fore the San Marcos and began firing
high explosive shells at that ship for
the first time more than one officer
had reason to gasp with amazement,
for the projectiles burst at various dis
tances between the muzzles OF the
rifles and the target, plainly indicating
that the fuses were not functioning as
designed. Likewise, when the shells
did hit and burst they left telltale
records on the steel structure that
revealed many illuminating facts.

The Oregon as we know has been

Is named, and It is more than likely
that the authorities win accept her

fighting unit, since she must neces-
sarily arrive with her boilers in bad
condition and with her crew In any
thing but fighting shape.
But ON the contrary the Oregon's
boilers when she arrived of Key West
were in just about as good condition as
they were when she left San Fran
cisco, due to the care which her engi-
neers took OF them. and the condition
and fighting ability of her crew can
best be judged by the fact that when
the Spanish feet had been scattered
and were being pursued by the Ameri-
can vessels the Oregon steamed ahead
Of some OF the other and supposedly
better ships, and finally ran down and
sank the Colon. a Spanish cruiser OF
larger tonnage and heavier armament
than the Oregon. In an interview
which was published in THE SUN sew
eral years ago Rear Admiral Charles
Z. Clark, who as a naval captain COM
manded the Oregon on her famous
trip, had this to say about the conduct
OF his men during the fight with the
Colon:
remember when we were still
chasing the Colon down the coast. all
the other Spanish ships having been
run In. we stopped firing until We
could get nearer While I was talking
with the ordnance officers as to
whether We should strain our guns by
opening up at long range the chief
engineer officer came up and said;
Captain. can't you fire another
gun? We're doing aliswe can just
now, but think We could do a little
more IL the boys below could hear
some shooting. There Is nothing they
can't do 50 long as they know the guns
are booming
And so we opened up again with
our thirteen inch guns at five miles
which was long range in those days

Colon done for" AS
