WILSON CALLS TO
PIONEER BLOOD
CBy Mt. Clemens News Bureau)

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train.-Through the regions made e.
nous by the pioneers of western Amer
lea President Wilson passed on the
beginning Of his homeward journey
from the Pacific coast, and to the de-
scendants of these pioneers he point
ed out in his addresses that in the
same way as the forward moving men
an dwomen of AZ had blazed the trail
which opened up our land, so the for
ward looking men and women of 1913
must blaze the way which shall lead
all the world to peace and justice just
as as those brave souls of 40 had gone
ahead, never fearing what was in the
next canyon ahead of them, we must
go ahead now, the president pointed
out, confident that in our leadership
of the world through the league OF ma
tons, we will find the right way that
will bring them all to the promised
land.
Delivers Brief Talk At Sacramento
From Los Angeles to Sacramento
and then through the territory which
Bret Harte immortalized in his short
stories, the presidential train moved
until it reached Reno, the first sched-
uled stop on the eastward route. Pc
ker fats, Dutch cIats and the other
old mining camps which Harte SO
breezily told of all were seen by Mr..
Wilson on his journey, and he related
to his companions what he remember
ed of the stories concerning them.
The president delivered a brief talk
at Sacramento from the train platform,
but at Reno he was met and cheered
by many thousands, and the inhabit-
ants proudly asserted that the town
held more people than it had ever
known since the Jeffries-JohnsOn prize,
fight of ancient history, and here ne
gave his formal talk Of the day.
Then And Now
The president eontrasted the pres
ent peace conference with the last
great so-called peace conference, that
which was held in Vienna in 1915.
1.-THE ancient conference" he said, was
one where a small coterie Of autocrats
were able to determine the fortunes
of their people without consulting
them, whereas the conference OF 1913
was devoted to establishing the rights
of all people to their own type OF gov
eminent" Just before that confer
ence, of 1915" the president said,
there has been signs Of the breaking
up of the old order of things. Though
there were but 100000 people subject
to the crown of Great Britain in Amer
lea. they had thrown off allegiance to
that crown and had de6ed the British

at a distance had a right to govern
them, and that nobody had a right "a
govern them who they did not choose
to be their government.
The president pointed out that n
every automatically governed nation
I'm the world up until 1914, there had
been revolutions, that is, In every On
tocratic nation save Germany. and en-
of Germany's prime ideas I'm staFaAa
the war was to re-establtsh the idea q
absolute autocracy. But the rest q
the world would not stand for that
he asserted, and therefore AnneG1aa

autocratic idea, and having pledges
