Is Given an Ovation at Man

New York, November 4. Pres
ident Wilson opened the adminis
tration campaign for its National
defense, programme in a compre
hensive and " carefully prepared
address delivered here tonight at
the Manhattan Club banquet- He
declared solemnly, that the United
States had no aggressive purposes,
but must be prepared to defend it
self in order to assume "full lib
erty and self -development. ' ' Sig
nificantly, he said that " with our
selves in this great matter we as
sociate all the peoples of our own
hemisphere,' . adding that "we
wish not only for the United States
but for them the fullest freedom of
indepeiident-growth of actioji.,, i

the banquet hall, and during "his
- address. The hall was decorated
with" American flags and filled
even to the galleries with Demo
crats happy, over their victory of
Tuesday in New York city. When
the President arose to speak every
one applauded until he was forced
to signal for quiet.
- Tke People Are InqnlHar-
"Within a year, said the President,
"we have, witnessed what we did not
thtnk possible, a great European con
flict Involving many of the greatest
nations of the world. The influences
of the great war are everywhere In
the air. All Europe is in battle. Force
everywhere speaks out with a loud
and imperious voice in a titanic strug
gle of government; and from one end
of our own dear country to the other
men are asking one another what our
own force is, how far we are prepared
maintain ourselves against any in
terference with our national action or
3 ovolnnm TI t."
The President called : upon "men off
all shades of political opinion" to rally
to the support of the defense pro
gramme. He said it represented the
"best 'professional and expert opinion
" of the country" and gave warning that
"if men differ with me in this vital
matter, I shall ask them to make it
clear how far and in what way they
are interested in making the perma
nent Interests . of -the country sate
against disturbances."
. Ne Need ta Feel Pauley.
There is no n!ed for the country to
feel panic-stricken, -the President de
clared, because it stands in friendly
relations with the world. He spoke of
the United States as "a nation too big
- and generous to be exacting, but. yet
courageous enough to defend its rights
and the liberties of its people wher
ever assailed or involved."
Outlining the defense programme the
President said it included an Increase
in - the standing army, the training
within-the next three years of 400,000
citizen soldiers to be raised In annual
forces of 1S8.000 and the strengthening
of the National Guard. He laid par
ticular emphasis on the need of ample
equipment. .
The President declared that the rtavy
already is a "very great and efficient
force," but that in order ; to bring it
to a point, of , "extraordinary force and
efficiency" a definite policy must ..be
adopted and hastened and an adequate
supply of men and equipment provided.
America1 Saoold be First.
In addition to speaking on National
defense, the President attacked nen
who love other countries better than
America," and men who stir up relig
ious and sectarian antagonism. He
declared -that such men should be s call
ed to a reckoning." ' . 1 ' .
Just before the dinner the President
shook hands with all the guests, In
cluding Charles F. Murphy.
The guests included ? Secretary Of
War Garrison, Senator CQorman,
Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, Dudley
Kield Malone, collector :of the port ot
New York; Judge Edward Swann, dis

Text Of The MdentV Address On
His Programme For National Defense
,: -.:v; ' - ' ' ' - - - .. . . .. ... .
Mr. Teastmaster and Gentlemen t : ; . ; '
, I warmly felicitate the club up on, the completion of fifty years of
accewful and iateresttng life. Club life may be, made to mean a great
deal to thoe -who know how to use ft. I have no doubt that to a great
many of yon haa come genuine, stimulation In the aMoelatlons of this '
place and that as the years have multiplied you have seen more and more
the useful ends which may 4e served by organisations of this, sort.
But I have not eome to Speak wholly of that, for tbere : are others of
your own . members who can speak of the club with a knowledge and an
Intelligence which no One can have who has-not been Intimately asso
ciated, with it.. Men band themselves together for the sake of the asso
ciation, no doubt, but also for something greater and deeper than that
because they are conscious of common Interest's lying outside their busi
ness occupations, beeause they are members of the same community and
In frequent intercourse nnd mutual stimulation and a real maximum of
vitality and power. I shall assume that here around the dinner table on
this memorial occasion our - talk should , properly : turn to the wide and
common interests which are most in our thoughts, whether they be the
.interests of the community or of the nation.
. A year and a half ago our thought would have been almost alto
gether of great domestic questions. They are many and of vital conse
quence. We must nnd shall address ourselves to their solution with dili
gence, firmness, and self-possession, notwithstanding we ' find ourselves in
the midst of a world disturbed by great , disaster and . ablaze with ter
rible wart but our thought is now inevitably of new things about- which
formerly we gave ourselves little , concern. We : are thinking now chiefly ;
of our relations with, the rest of the world not ..nor commercial rela
tionsabout those we have ..thought and .planned always but about our .
political relations, our duties as an .individual and Independent force in
the world to ourselves, onr neighbors, and the world itself.
.. ' - v PRINCIPLES .WELL KNOWN. c..;
- Our principles are well known. It is not necessary to avow them
again.'., We believe in political liberty and' founded our .great govern
ment to obtain it, thejliberty of men and of peoples off men to . choose
their own lives and' sf peoples to choose their own ellegtsnce, Onr am
bition, also, all the. world has knowledge of. It is not only to be free
and prosperous oursefves, but also to be the friend and taonghtful par-"
tisan of those who are free or who desire freedom v the world .over. If
we have had aggressive purposes and covetous " ambitions, they were -the
fruit of our thoughtless youth as a nation and we have put them
aside. ' We shall, I confidently believe, never again .take another foot of
territory by conquest. We shall never In any circumstances ' seek to
make ;. an independent people . subject -to our dominion "because we be
lieve, we passionately believe,, in the right of every people to choose
their own nllegience and be free of masters ; altogether. . For ourselves "
.we; wish nothing but the full liberty of self -development) and with- our
selves in this great matter we associate aU the peoples of our own hemi
sphere. We wish hot only for the TJnlted - States but for them - the fullest
freedom of independent growth .and action, for we know that thrdughbut
this "hemisphere the same aspirations are everywhere being worked out,
under diverse .conditions but with -the same Impulse and ultimate object.
v All this is very clear to us andwlll, I confidently predict, become more '
and morei dear to the whole world as the gcreat processes of the future
unfold themselves. 'It Is with V.
yea we haxe . witnessed what we did not believe posslblei a -great Euro--:
pean conflict involving many "of the greatest . nations of the' world. The
Influences of. a great war are everywhere In the. air. .AU Europe Is em
battled, ' Force everywhere ' speaks, out with, a loud and imperious voice
in a titanic struggle of governments and from one end of our . own. dear
country to the other men- are asking one another what our. force is,: how
far we are prepared to maintain ourselves against -any--interference -with
our -national action or developments ;: . -f
: . " . ; no wxiFUi usb of fob.ce. . CT'; .. i .
In no man's mind, I am . sure, Is there even raised the question of the
wilful use -of . force on our part against any nation or any people. No. mat
ter what military or naval force the United States might develop, states
men throughout the whole world might rest assured, that we were gath-.
erlng that force, not for attack In any quarter, not for , aggression of
any kind, not for the satisfaction of any political or international ambi
tion, but merely to make sure ot our own security.. We . have - if .in - mind
to be prepared, but not. for war, but only for defense i - and with the
thought constantly In onr minds that the principles we hold most dear
can be achieved by the slow processes of history only in the kindly and
wholesome atmosphere of peace, and not by the use of hostile force. The ;
mission of America In 'the world is essentially a .mission of peace and
good will among men. She has become the home and asylum of men of
all creeds and races. Within her hospitable borders they have found
homes and congenial associations and freedom and a wide and cordial
welcome, and they have become part of the bone and sinew and spirit of
America itself.1 America has been made up out of the nations of the world
and is the friend of the nations of the world.
But we feel justified In preparing ourselves to vindicate our right to
independent and unmolested action by making the force that , is in us
ready for assertion. '
And we know thnt we can do this in a way that will be .Itself an illus
tration of the American spirit. In accordance with our American tradi
tions we want and. shall work for only an army adequate to the constant .
and legitimate uses of times of International peace. But we jdo want to
feel that there is a great body of citizens who have received at least the
most rudimentary and necessary forms of military training) that they wttl
he ready to form themselves into n fighting force at the call of the na
tion t and that the nation has the munitions and supplies with which to.
equip them without delay should It be necessary to call them into ac
tion. We wish to supply them with the training they need, and we think
we can do so without calling them at any time too long away from
their civilian pursuits. V
It is with this idea, with this conception, in mind that the plans have
been made which it will be my privilege to lay before the Congress at its
next session. That plan calls for only such an inerease in the .tegular
army of the , United States as experience has proved to be required : for
the performance of the necessary duties of the army in the Philippines,
in Hawaii, in Porto Rico, upon the borders of the United .States, .at the
coast fortifications, and at the military posts of the Interior. For the
reat, it calls for the training .within the next three years of a force of
400,000 citizen soldiers to be raised in annual -contingents - of 133,000,
who would be asked to enlist for three -years with the colors and ' three
years on furlough, but who during their. three years of enlistment with
the colors would not be organised as a standing force but - would be ex
pected merely to undergo, intensive training for a very brief period of each
year. Their training would take place in Immediate association with the
organised units of the regular army. It would have no touch of the
amateur about it, neither would' it exact of the volunteers more than
they could give In any one year from their civilian pursuits. ;
' AS TO NATIONAL GUARD.
And none of this would be done in .' such a way as in the slightest
degree to supersede or subordinate our present serviceable : and efficient
National Guard. On the contrary, the National Guard itself would be used
as part of the instrumentality by which training would be given the citi
zens who enlisted under the new conditions, and I should hope and expect
that the legislation by which all this would be . accomplished would put
the National Guard Itself upon n better and more permanent footing than
It has ever been before, giving it not only the recognition which It de
aerves, but n more definite support from the national government and a
more definite connection with the military organisation of the , nation.
What we all wish to - accomplish Is that the forces .of the nation
should indeed be part of -. the natlo n and not , a separate ') professional
force, and . the chief cost of the system would not be In ..the enlistment or
in the training of the men, but in the providing of ample equipment In
case It should be necessary to call all forces Into the field. ;
Moreover, it has been: American policy time out of mind to look to the
navy as the first and chief line of defense. - The navy of the United States
Is already, a very' great andeflleient force. - Not rapidly, but slowly,
with careful attention, our naval force has been developed ' until the
navy of the United States stands recognised as one " of the' most efficient
nnd notable of the modem time. All that Is needed in order to bring
It to- a point of extraordinary force and. efAeleney as compared with the
ether navies of the world Is that we should hasten bur paee in the policy
we have long been pursuing, nnd that chief of all we should have a defi
nite policy of development, not made , from year to year but looking
well into the future and planning for a definite consummation; We can
and should profit in all that we do by the experience and example, that
have been made obvious to ns'by -the "unitary and naval events of the
actual nresenf.-It is not merely a matter of building battleships . and
cruisers nd submarines, but also a matter of making sure that we shaU
have the adequate" equipment of men and munitions and supplies for the
vessels we buUd and Intend to build. Part of our problem Is the .prob
lem of what I may caU the mobilisation of the resources, of :the nation at
the nroser time if it should ever be necessary to mobnise them for na
tional defense. We shall study efflcieney and adequate Equipment, as
csrefnllr as we Shall study the number and slse of ur ships, and - I believe,
at tte Plans already In part mad public by the Navy Department are
S. whlen the whole nation can approve with rational enthusiasm.

Belgium to Pay the German War -Levy

Amsterdam, (via London), Nov. 4.
The chamber of commerce of Antwerp
has issued a report -written, by -its
president, E. Casteleinj, to the members
of the pernfcanent . deputation i which
represents the chamber before the Bel
gian government, "outlining . the steps
taken by Belgian provinces. to pay the
German war levy of 480,000,000. francs
(595,000,000). The report states: ;
"The Belgian provinces have just
paid the German administration the
ninth monthly installment of the war
levy of 480,000,000 francs. They have
up to date actually paid out 360,000,
000 francs, of which 46,000,000 are to
be credited to 60,000,000 imposed spe
cially with the guarantee, given by the
German authorities in December, 1914
that indemnity for " requisitioned mer
chandise, -would be paid as soon at
possible in currency,, in commercial
bills of exchange, - .or in credits on
German banks.
"For the past .nine months Belgium
has most scrupulously met the en
gagements .made -in' her name .at the
time of the convention relating -to war
contributions. This ' - convention' is,
however, of an - entirely reciprocal
character. Moreover,- if Belgium has

Gen. P. Elias Calles, Carransa com

while succoring wounded under a Red
Cross flag in front of the breastworks
at Agua Prieta. Villa also announced
that Naco would be the capital of

The Americans killed were, accord

surgeon of , the Cananea Consolidated
Copper Company; his assistant, Dr.
Miller, and two American chauffeurs,
J. i. Piyant and A. L. Wilson. Villa,
while formally expressing regret at
their " death; declined tonight to say
where they are buried. He said he
could not permit any bodies to be dis
interred, even, to clear a doubt that
they actually had been killed.
This doubt was caused by the state
ment of Dr. Frederick H. Wickman, of
St. Louis, who dashed across the line
this afternoon' shouting . that he was
about to be shot and afterward declar

the chamber of deputies and the
consequent resignation of the1Zai-; ;
mis cabinet, is the latest sensation
afforded by the Balkans. While, of ;
course, it was understood that ,
Eleutherios Venizelos, the formeir
premier, had it in his power to .;
turn the ' government out, j wjbe:
everhe so desired, having themiu fv,"
jority in the chamber at his back,
the fall of Zaimis came unexpect
edly, as it was believed that :the
leader of the majority Had decided
to accord the premier sufficient '
support to enable him to remain m ,

government on a matter of minor im
portance some dlfferettence of opinion
between M. Venlielos and the minister '
of war, General Yanakitzas, on mili
tary proposals and the government
was defeated by "a vote of 147 to 114.
By handing -the resignation of his
cabinet to King Constantino, M. Zaimis
again places on the Icing the respon
sibility of deciding the future policy
of his country.
In London the flrst impression was
that the defeat of the government '
would mean the immediate recall to
power of M. Venizelos and the fulfill
ment of the original agreement . be- r "
tween him and the allied powers to go - - "-.
to the assistance of Serbia. " , V
Stock' Exchange Rallies. ' -
In this belief, the news caused , a - '
distinct rally on the stock exchange.
Later dispatches from Athens, However,
indicated a possible dissolution of par
liament.. Should this course be taken "it
would be at least two months before an
election could be held and the new .-
chamber meet in Athens. In the mean- . -
Ume either the Zaimis cabinet, the res-'
lgnation of which has not yet been ac- '
cepted, with perhapus a change in the -ministry,
of war,, or some other cabinet
favoring the king's policy ofjcontlnucd
neutrality, ' would have, charge ofs af-1
fairs and consequently there would be
no change-In thg military situation.
Even should M.. Venizelos be called
upon to form a "new government, , It! Js .
not certain that he would .Join the Al- -lies
at present but the quadruple en- -tente
would have the assurance that
Greece would not turn against themi
On the other hand, it is not to be for-'' ,
gotten that King Constantitie'was will
ing to follow the policy of M. Venizelos '."
Up to a certain point and there are " '
some diplomats here who believe that;
assured of a landing of very strong;
Anglo-French ' forces at 'Salbnikl and
Kavala, together with a Russian army
on the other side of Thrace . and the
possible assistance of Rumania, the
Greek king might be willing to em- -bark
on operations . against. Bulgaria. :
Greene never looked with favor on,
Bulgarian occupation of Macedonia and
tnere are some in the country who feir
that a victorious Bulgaria", might throw
covetous eyes on Kavala which King
erdlnand fought so hard tb get at the
conclusion' of the.. Balkan wars. '
Rumania Also Upset. ..
Rumana is in somewhat the same ,
position as Greece. : A majority of then
people of that country for the Allies I
while the king : and government wish; '
to maintain neutrality, at least unll .
it appears clear that the Allies can
win. the 'war. There have been con
tinual demonstrations in Rumania Jn
-vor of intervention, which have been
heightened by. the presence of. a- large
Russian force on the northeastern '
ooi der waiting to attack Bulgaria.
In Berlin, according to reports, fear:
has been expressed that, this force will
be allowed to march nrough Rumanian '
terrritory and that it might be Joined ,
by the Rumanian army. To discourage
this, an Austro-Gernian army is being ,
assembled on -the western borders 'of -Rumania.
Thus the anxiety of the Ru
manian government can be understood.
Besides massing troops the Allies are
taking other steps to persuade Greece
and Rumania that it is tp their interest
to join .against the uentr ai powers.. J
