WILSON PLEADS
FOR COVENANT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 81
President Wilson, speaking to a
group Of proleague Republicans to-
day at the White House, declared
that the so-called Americanism
which we hear so much pratlng
about now is spurious and invented
for party purposes only" Appeal
ing for the completion Of the great
moral achievement" which he said
the war represented, the president
asserted that the war will have been
fought in vain and our immense
sacrifices thrown away unless we
complete the work we then began"
The president declared there is
only one way to assure the world
of peace, and that is by making 1t
so dangerous to break the peace
that no other nation will have the
audacity to attempt it," He warned
his hearers not to be deceived into
supposing that imperialistic schemes
ended with the defeat of Germany,
or that Germany IS the only ma
tion that entertained such schemes
or was moved by sinister ambition
and long standing iealousies to at
tack the structure of civilization" ="
Other nations. he said, are likely to
be powerfully moved by commercial
jealousies and a desire to dominate" ."

ihat "I am right, and everything
Else about the government is wrong"
She criticized Democrats and Repub-

he impression that her election
done was the remedy for all the
Dis which this country is suffering
The departure OF quite a number of
persons from the hal during her
speech made it difficult to hear. One
d Tie most noticeable features OF
BE meeting was the rapidity with
VaA the crowd left when DR.. Mar

Marta to this city, started to take
|Ba collection for campaign ex-
Fi'es at the end of her speech.
