WILSON ISSUES
WORD OFfARNIHG
President Says Breach of Neutrality
May Spring from Taking
Sides in War.
UNITED STATES FRIEND OF, ALL
f'pnpl Who Are Natives nf Other
Coantrlea Reminded that Thar
Are American tltlsens
rlrst.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Addreain;
the American people, President Wilson Is
sued a statement In connection with th
European war.' warning cltlcena of tha
I'nlted mates against "that deepest, most
subtle, most essential breach of neutral
ity which may aprlng out of partisanship,
out of pssslonately taxing sides."'
The president la understood, to he deeply
concerned because naturalised Americans
who roma from countries now at war
have' taken aides In public discussion
in tha I'nlted States of the European
mar. On previous occasions he has
publicly spoken against what ha termed
"hyphenated American' " declaring that
cltlsens of the I'nlted State should be
Americans only, not Irish-American,
German-American, or other clawilflea-
t.ona of tha sort. This fee ing Is under
stood to have prompted the Issuance of
his statement today.
The president's statement follows:
"My Fellow Countrymen: I suppose
that every thoughtful man in America
has asked himself during the lust troubled
weeks what Influence Ihe European wa!
may exert In the t'nited States, and I
take the l.berty of addressing a few words
to you in order to point out that It Is en
tirely within our own choice what Its ef
fects on us will be and to urge very
earnestly upon you the sort of speech
and conduct which will best safeguard
the nation against distress and disaster.
"Tha effect of the war ou tha United
Btates will depend on what American cltt
sens say and do. Every man who really
loves America will act and upesk In the
true spirit of neutrality, which Is tho
spirit of Impai tiklity aij'l . fairness and
friendliness to all concerned. The spirit
of the nation. In this critical matter will
be determined larrcly by what Individuals
and society and those gathered In public
meetings do and say, on what news
psprrs and magaslnes contain, on what
our ministers utter In their pulpits and
men proclaim as their opinions on the
streets.
People from Mans t'oaatrtea.
"Tha peipla of the I'nlted States are
drawn from many nations and chiefly
from the nations now at war. It Is nat
ural and inevitable that there should be
the utmost variety of sympathy and de
s.ie among them with regard to the la
sues and circumstances of the conflict.
