President "Wilson issued on August

can people to observe strict neutrality
in the European war:
"My Fellow Countrymen:
"I suppose that every thoughtful
Tnan in America has asked himself
daring the last troubled weeks, what
influence the European war may ex

the liberty of addressing a few words

entirely within oar own choice what
its .effects upon ns will be, and to
vrg& -very earnestly upon you the sort
of speech and conduct which will best
safeguard the nation against distress
and disaster.
""The effect of the war upon the
United States will depend upon whtt
American citizens ssy and do. Every
man -who really loves America will
act and speak in the true spirit of
neutrality, which is the spirit of Im
partiality and fairness and friendliness
to all concerned.
"The spirit of the nation in ihis
critical aaatter will he determined
largely by what Individuate and society
and those gathered in public meetings
Bo and say; upon what newspapers
'and magazines contain; upon what our J
ministers utter ia -their pulpits, and
men proclaim as their opinions on the
streets.
"The people of the United States
are drawn from many nations and
chiefly from the nations now at war.

will wish one nation, others another,
to succeed in te momentous struggle.
"It will be easy to excite passion
and difficult to allay it Those respon
sible for exciting it will assume a
heavy responsibility; responsibility
for no less a thing than that the people
of the United States, whose love of
their country, and whose loyalty to
its government should unite them as
Americans, all bound in honor and
affection to think first of her and her
interests, may be divided in camps of
hostile opinions, hot against each oth
er, involved in the war itself in im
pulse, and opinion, if not in action.
Such diversions amongst us would
be fatal to our peace of mind and
might seriously stand in the way of
the proper performance of our duty as
the one great nation at peace, the one
people holding itself ready to play a
part of impartial mediation and speak
the counsels of peace and accommo
dation, not as a partisan, but as a
friend.
'1 venture, therefore, my fellow
countrymen, to speak a solemn word
of warning to you against that deep

of neutrality which may spring out of
partisan ship, out of passionately tak

Registrar Satisfied That New System
Will be Made to Work in Fine
Shape. ;
The first day of registration went
along with unusual regularity. An
occasional hitch in ihe new system
was quickly regulated and Registrar
Oreer feels that the following toys
will only tend to strengthen the re
organized registration system.
Approximately four hundred students
completed their registration yesterday
and with a general familiarity with the
new system authorities look for a great
improvement along all lines.
All of the assignment and registra
tion cards for Thursday were .given out
some time before the close -of the day
yesterday. Many students were even
glad to get -cards for Friday. The call
for cards for their friends hy some of
the students greatly decreased yester
day when It was learned that such a
thing was entirely out of order and
practically Impossible. An occasional
freshman would stray away from the
"bHBch" he ibelenged to hut after in

was saade out to be they stayed on in
Benthein purl ihe smaller towns; then
a day or two at Wymar and then at
Leipsig. -From there they went to
Mount Brochar, the highest mount of
the Hartz mountains. A short time

shein.
On July 3L their party reached the
German capital They arrived at 3:30
in the afternoon and at 5:IH) the Ger
man orders to mobilize were posted.
Until this trip there had been so indi
cation of trouble, the only thing even
of an exciting trend happened in Leip-
sigon the twenty-sixth when some
frightened native declared that war
had been declared.
Prof. Candy and wife stayed on in
Berlin until August 19th when they
