FIRE ON FOES IN
INDIANA ADDRESS
Wilson’s Speech Virtual An
nouncement of His Candidacy,
Plea For Party Unity and
Reply to Critics,
STRIKES RIGHT AND LEFT
Thousands Cheer When He Says
Public Must Judge Whether
He Knows What He Is
Talking About.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 11.—President
Woodrow Wilson, In veiled reference to
the future, virtually announced his can
didacy for the democratic nomination
for president In his Jackson day speech
here late Friday afternoon. An assem
bly of 4,000 people rose and cheered un
til the president himself called for quiet
when he said:
"There may come a time when the
American people will have to judge
whether I know what I am talking
about or not.”
The president paused slightly, but the
significance of his statement was
quickly grasped by those of the assem
bly and a mighty cheer burst forth. Af
ter a moment the president, realizing
how1 his remark had been interpreted,
raised his hand and said:
"I did not mean to stir up anything.
That was merely preparatory to saying
that for at least two more years I am
free to think I know the American peo
ple.”
Defends Mexican Policy.
The president had been discussing his
Mexican policy, after having discussed
legislation enacted during his adminis
tration and the objective tactics of the
minority and criticised the attitude or
the republican party.
“As long as I am president, he
snapped, "nobody shall Interfere with
the efforts of the Mexicans to get II*
erty. Europe has spilled blood and so
can Mexico, if necessary.”
Then he declared the American people
might some day have the opportunity ;
to judge whether he knew what he was
talking about. It was a challenge to
the critics of “watchful waiting”—an
announcement that he worfld not be
swerved from the course he has adopt,
ed in dealing with the turbulent bordei
republic.
The president's address left no doubt
In the minds of his hearers that he will
be a candidate for the presidential
nomination. His address had been
heralded as a pronouncement, a defense
of his administration and an answer to
his critics, and it was.
The president found vindication of
his record in the returns from the last
congressional election, citing that had
It been a presidential election, the dem
ocratic candidate would have been elect
ed with a plurality of 80 votes in the
electoral college.
Foes Within Party.
That the president takes cognizance
of a certain element within the dem
ocratic party to put the administration
on the defensive was indicated in a
warning he gave to democrats not to
break up the solidity of the party. "If
a man won’t play on a team he must
get off the team,” he declared, adding
In the next breath, "I am captain of the
Semocratic team for the present.” Those
who seek to thwart the administration
only gain an unenviable position for
themselves, he said.
The president indulged in one of his
, rare bits of sarcasm when he referred
■ to the republican party. "I would not
ipeak with disrespect of the republican
party,” he said. “I always speak with
great respect of the past; the past was
necessary to the present and was a sure
prediction of the future. The republi
can party is still a covert and refuge
for those who are afraid, for those who
want to consult their grandfathers
about everything.
"The republicans do not know how
to do anything but sit on the lid,” ho
continued. “Every time the country
really wants something done It returns
She democratic party to power.

Voting Men Who Dodge WaT

Feathers.
London—A seriocomic side to the
events of these dark days. If one may
use such an expression. Is the war be
tween the girls of the "white feather ,
brigade” and the young "nuts," who 1
ihlrk the country’s call to arms. These j
Slrls are searching the parks and g&r
3ens and seaside resorts, where young
men are holiday making, and If they
balk at the suggestion that they should
offer their services they are handed
promptly a white feather.
Down Deal way these girls had lots ,
of fun the other day with London and
sther young men. who were having a •
good time on vacation. The girls pa- f
raded the sea front, and to the coats ,
of every Idler they met they pinned
a white feather.
Mietoak Act* Fop a Joke.
The young men took It as a Joke,
thinking they were having favors be
stowed upon them, until the town
crier went round with the following
call:
“Oyez, oyes. oyez!
"Ladles want to present to the
young men of Deal and Walmer who
have no one dependent on them the
Order of the White Feather for shirk- i
lng their duty In not coming forward
In offering their services to uphold

"<3od save the king.”
Harry Provost Battorsby, the au- '
thor, being asked which white feather
might be most suitable for the brl- I
gade, first suggested the down of a
plucked goose, but now, conscience
stricken, he says he fears he has
wronged a noble bird, which was, at
least, once connected with a feat of
arms; and even any bird will fight In
defense of its home. Perhaps, he now
thinks rift of fur from tho tail of a
skunk might display “manly" qualities,
did one only know him.
KAISER PUTS MILLIONS
IN U. S. PROPERTY;
♦ STRING OF SHIPS *
♦ NEEDED IF BELGIUM
♦ IS NOT TO STARVE +
After two weeks' Investigations of ac
tual conditions In Belgium. Arno Dosch,
In a cable report to the New York World,
has the following to ray regarding Belgian
needs, now the work ot the commission:
"I have Just made a two weeks’ tour of
Belgium to see how America’s food was
being distributed, and 1 can say It Is going
to the right mouths by the swiftest and
surest means. Only hungry Belgians are
getting It and not one sack of flour has
been taken by the German soldiers.
“But If Belgium Is not to starve this
winter the United State* must send a con
tinuous string of ships loaded particularly
with grain and flour. What has arrived
already has been oaten at once. There Is
no surplus.
“Immediate success In relieving the
hungry has been due to two causes. The
rapidity with which the American com
mission for relief In Belgium has delivered
the food at the Belgian frontier, and the
business methods of the national commit
tee of relief, a Belgian organization. The
latter. In ordinary times, Is a remarkably
well organized charity which has been
used by the leading Belgian citizens and
was expanded to carry on this work. It
has advantage of organization without the
soullessness of organized charity.
“It makes all who cRn pay, but It gives
to all alike. It has 47 soup kitchens tn
Brussels alone, to which all classes of the
people come. There Is no shame In buy
ing at a soup kitchen. The most beau
tiful memory I have carried out of Bel
gium Is the sight of sweet and gentle Bel
gian women who run these spick and spaa
kitchens.
“I saw' the Blegc branch of this com
mittee Issue bread te 60,000 people at one
point. It took nearly three hours to do
It, and though the line was four deep and
kept moving rapid’. • the record of each
recipient of every ionf of that bread was
kept. I was a quarter of a mile away In
tho narrow streets when the distribution
began and I was swept along In that
great army of hungry people pouring
through the streets. Anyone who saw
that hungry throng w-ould stop eating
bread himself to hco that the Belgians
got It. In the crowil J was recognized con
stantly as an American and dozens said:
’* ‘Oh! You are cr.c of the people who
are sending us bread.’
"It was very touching. A11 the good
will that went from America with ths
food had been preserved In trust by ths
grateful Belgians.”
Tho Holy War Scare.
In a war news Issue of the American ,»
Board Quarterly, is this Important state
ment:
There has been so much talk In ths
newspapers over the declaration of "A
Holy War” by the sultan of Turkey, and
»o many friends appear to think that ths
Moslem world Is about to Indulge In s
general massacre of Christians, that ws
have asked the senior secretary of ths
board. Rev. James I,. Barton, D. D„ to
make a statement on the subject. Dr.
Barton says:
AH wars of the Turks, from their
point of view, are "holy wars,” and
tho public declaration that Turkey Is
now engaged In a holy war with the
allies is tantamount simply to the
declaration on the part of the alllee
that they are at war with Turkey.
It Is a simple declaration of war;
nothing more, nothing less. From the
Mohammedan standpoint, however,
there Is a great Incongruity, recog
nized by the Mohammedans them
selves and often "-pollen of In carry
ing on a holy war under tho leader
ship of non-Moslerr. or Christian offi
cers, as the Turkish army is now
largely officered by Germans. There
Is no possibility, In the Judgment of
those W'ho best understand the situa
tion, .that, under there circumstances,
what Is commonly understood as a
’’holy war” can be fought. Turkey to
day under German domination has no
leadership In the Mohammedan world.
No call for a holy war Issued from
Constantinople can have any Influence
over Mohammedans In general—even
In Turkey—much less In Arabia. Egypt,
Persia, India, and -lsewhere. There Is
no need of any anxious thought on the
subject of the calling of a holy war on
the part of Turkey at this time.
l'Tom xu lilts.
Thanks to the advice of financiers
who, for obvious reasons, he admitted
to his friendship, the kaiser's private
fortune has Increased to such an ex
tent of late years that It was estimated I
a short time ago by the eminent Ger- |
man authority, Herr Rudolph Martin, 1
that he is easily the richest man in
Germany, having an annual income of
£1,000,000, derived from possessions val
ued at approximately £20,000,000.
Apart from the kaiser’s fortune, his >
son, the crown prince, has a separate
income of £60,000, drawn from property
valued at nearly £1,000,000, while the
kaiser's brother. Prince Henry, enjoys
some £30,000 a year on account of an
estate worth £500,000. Altogether the
principal members of the Hohenzollern
family own property valued at approx
imately £25,000,000.
The kaiser’s fortune has been mainly
built up by investments in many busi
nesses. He has some very large hold
ings In the big German steamship lines,
is extensively interested in the diamond
mine enterprises of German West Afri
ca, owns forests and lands to the value
of £3,600,000, carries on a large lumber
business, and has a horse-breeding es
tablishment in western Prussia, which
brings him in a handsome revenue.
Furthermore, he has great financial in
terests in a municipal lager beer brew
ery at Hanover, and founded an exten
sive pottery factory on his private es
tates at Cadinen.
Altogether the kaiser owns about 40
castles and country houses, valued at
£2,000,000, and various property in Ber
lin, approximately worth £1,000,000. Jn
seven different provinces he owns 74
estates, comprising close on 600,000
acres.
It is interesting to note that ever
since Germany began to make prepa
rations for a great war the kaiser has
been Investing immense sums of mon
ey on the other side of the Atlantic. He
is one of the largest land owners in the
western states—not In his own name,
of course—and owns a considerable sec
tion of property in the west of Cana
da. So notorious is the fact that it
was at one time a standing Joke at
Vancouver that, although the kaiser
was a large owner of property in a cer
tain district, he declined to Join the lo
cal ratepayers’ association, which
would have been materially assisted in
its propaganda by the use of his name.
According to financial experts, the
kaiser's numerous investments In
America can only mean one thing. To
quote the words of one of these experts:
“They indicate very plainly that the
kaiser, at the time when he was pre
paring to stake the fortunes of his dy
nasty upon an attempt at the conquest
of western Europe, was also preparing
for the possibility of failure by con
solidating huge financial resources In
the United States and the neighboring
dominion, in case he had to escape to
that part of the world.”

GARRISON ASKS
Wants Fighting Force Raised
to 110,000—May Boost to
150,000—Other Improve
ments Are Sought.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 11.—Increase
of the enlisted strength of the army to
about 110,000 men, its full statutory
strength, possible increase to 125,000 or
150,000 men, an increase of officers to
the extent of 1,000. was recommended
by the secretary of war. He also fa
vors an Increase of the strength of the
coast artillery.
These new departures in army legis
lation are said today In Senate circles
to be likely to grow out of the meeting
of the Senate military committee Mon
day night.
The meeting was a special conference
called by Senator Chamberlain, chair
man, to consider the bills before the
committee which have been introduced
at the request of the secretary of war
or with his sanction. These bills cov
er a wide range. It is not expected the
committee will be willing at this time
to approve all of them. But it looks to
day as if the committee would go part
of the length which Secretary Garrison
wants it to go.
In Senate circles today predictions
are made that out of the meeting Mon
day night there will come at least an
Increase of the army and of the officers.
The reserve question will be considered,

f The Independent Voter,
“This country is now guided by the
Independent voter. There are few
regulars of either party left. Only
about one-third of the republican party
la progressive and about two-thirds of
the democratic party are progressives.
Therefore, the democratic party is
more progressive than the republican
party."
The president called himself an
"animated conservative.” He declared
amidst applause that the democratic
party was carrying out the progressive
aspirations of the nation. Praising the
federal reserve act, he said that this
was the first time in years when Jan
uary 1 had not brought financial
stringency to business men.
The president attacked the repub

ment ship purchase bill, whom ha
characterized as “self-styled friends o<

He said the credentials of these men
as "friends of business" will be

"1 wouid rather pray for such men
than abuse them," he went on. He

NATIONAL SYMPATHIES
RUN HIGH IN ALSACE
Basel, Switzerland, (via Paris), Jan.
i.—German martial law is described by
■ Alsatians in Basel as "weighing heav
ily” upon their countrymen at home.
\ They declare that the speaking of
French is classified as an offense un
I der the orders issued by the command
! ing generals of the Fourteenth, Fif
i teenth, Sixteenth and Twenty-first
i German army corps, who cite the im
perial law's of 1878 and 1882 to sup
; port their contention. The testimony
' of the children and servants is taken
j [>efore courtmartial as proof of guilt
of talking French.
Personal feeling between pro-French
and pro-German Alsatians is running
tiigh, visiting Alsatians say. The local
:ourts have granted divorces recently
to husbands and wives unable to live
narmoniously because of their oppos
ing national sympathies.
HARD BATTLE FOUGHT
IN GERMAN PROVINCE
Paris, Jan. 9.—French troops from
!he Congo, who have been occupying
Edea, in German Kamerun have been
attacked in force by a mixed detach -
jnent of German and native soldiers.
J’he Germans were repulsed, leaving on
the field 74 dead and wounded, one
machine gun and 50 rifles.
This information is contained in an
jfflcial telegram received today by the
French colonial office. The French
osses in tbe engagement are described
as trivial. The date of the fighting is
not given.
MEDALS GIVEN HEROES
OF V0LTURN0 DISASTER
New York, Jan. 9.—William C. Red
field, secretary of commerce, presented
today to Capt. Paul H. Kreibohm a
watch, and to 39 officers and seamen oj
the Red Star line steamship Kroon
land medals awarded to them by con
gress for their rescue of the S9 sur
vivors of the steamship Volturno,
burned in mid-Atlantic on October 9
and 10, 1913. Kach medal bore a draped
figure pointing to a burning steamer.
Washington, Jan. 9.—Secretary Bry
an and other administration officials
1 were at work today going over Great
Britain's preliminary reply to the
American note protesting against in
terference with commerce on the high
seas. Awaiting President Wilson’s re
turn to the city late today, however, all
officials refused absolutely to comment
upon it.
When the president returns the text
of the communication will be laid be
fore him.
Such study as officials have given to
the preliminary reply has convinced
them that probably it will be necessary
to await the supplementary note
promised by the Britisli government
before undertaking to continue the
negotiations so far as they relate to
the general board principles involved
in the American note. That, of course
will not prevent immediate considera
tion of special cases that may arise in
connection with the new seizures or
detentions.
Official circles regard the British
position as conciliatory and while Great
Britain has not yielded any of her sub
stantial claims in regard to the right
of search of neutral ships, the London
foreign office has shown a disposition
to discuss the subject in a friendly
spirit.
There is a disposition on the part of
the United States officials in the con
tinuation of the negotiations to sepa
rate the question of the manner in
which searches shall he conducted from
the other questions relating to contra
band. The British preliminary reply has
held out hope that speedy adjustment
of this question can be reported.
But the British note also makes it
apparent that there must be full op
portunity to discuss such questions as
the right of a belligerent government
to prescribe for Itself what shall con
stitute contraband and the extent to
which goods of that character may be
allowed exported to neutral countries,
which may serve as gateways for ad
mission to an enemy’s country.

WIT FROM STAGE STARS.
"A one-part play is soon ended.”
warns Ethel Wright.
“Many a pointed argument is dull
enough to sit on without pain,” Olive
Briscoe comments.
"The actor who knows all about ac
tors has a heavy load to carry,” Lil
lian Keller declares.
“However great the success achieved
by an actor.” Ida Hamilton remarks,
"it rarely comes up to his expecta
tions.”
"Few people believe so thoroughly
In worshiping stage Idols as the stage
idols themselves.” observes Dorothy
Bentley.
"The trouble with being absent
minded." laments Lillian Kingsbury,
"is that you do not forget the things
you wish to forget.”
“The principal trouble with private
theatricals,” warns pretty Marguerite
Skirvln. "is that they are generally
given to the public.”
"It does little good to hold the key
to a situation.” ruminates Bertha
Mann. “If the fellow before you has
picked the lock.”
"Every actress Is willing to play a
small part—the first time." is a trite
observation of Rhoda Leresford.
“The happy actress is not the one
with the best part, but the one who
makes the best of a part," Suzanne
Jackson insists.
“Perhaps the most needlecs of all
worries.” insists Hilda Knglund, “is
that the public will not accord us the
proper credit.”
"Opportunity never made an actor
who did not appreciate the value of
opportunity,” is the sage ati^ stage
observation of Rupert Harvey,
"The hardest job ever cut put for a
man.” Gilbert White insists, "t& to con
vince a farmer that actors and artists
earn the money they are supposed to
receive.”
"A sure road to popularity,” wisely
observes Whitford Kane, “is to tell an
actress who Is 40 that she doesn't look
30. and look as If you meant It."
I he Pork Barrel Rollers.
From Collier's.
How many of the people who support
the so-called national rivers and harbors
congress are aware that It Is the chief In
fluence which comes out avowedly and
frankly In favor of "pork?” Its purpose
Is to perpetuate our shameful method of
spending money on waterway Improve
ments and to keep the barrel as near hogs
head size as possible. And, by adhering
to the "pork" principle, It has hindered
rather than helped the sane development
of Inland navigation. In support of our
statement, and particularly for the edifi
cation of oil well-meaning and patiiotlo
persons who may happen to be contribut
ing to the support of the livers and har
bors congress, we quote this paragraph
from the resolutions adopted at the lob
by's annual convention:
"We regard the policy of annual river
and harbor bills as most essential to the
economical prosecution and preservation
of river and harbor improvements and
commend congress for Its continued ad
herence to this policy since its establish
ment several years ago. But we firmly
aver that real progress in the building up
of a comprehensive plan of water trans
portation as supplementary of transporta
tion by rail to meet the ever-increasing
demands of commerc-. requires that such
appropriations should be for not less than
$60.000.000 per annum.” , •
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts mads
an earnest plea for a commission with
Jurisdiction over all government work on
waterways, and authority to make up the
annual budget. Congress, he said, ought
to pass upon questions of policy, but
should appropriate the necessary money
In a lump sum, leaving to the commission
the expenditure of funds upon Individual
projects. One might have expected that
part of his speech to be greeted with a
few handclaps, but there was not a mur
mur of applause. Bui what does Senator
Weeks think a lobby is for anyway?
Time.
From Collier's.
Amid all the welter of talk about the
new year—the pretty-pretty sentimental
ity. the ponderous preaching about good
resolutions and swearing off—one great
fact remains. That Is Time. Time
passed. Art emus Ward once wrote: It's a
sort of way Time has. Here Is one thing
which no cynic has ever been able to de
ride successfully. Ideals, Innocence, love,
even death, have been targets, but no
sneer has ever touched Time. On and on
stalk the years—the most inexorable of
marchers. Time treats all alike—pugilist
and debutante, king and gutter snipe. It
plays no favorites. With each revolution
the creeping minute hand puts one more
hour behind. Perhaps it Is well that no
normal mind dwells on all this. It Is bet
ter to realise that the marching morrows
have their glorious and inspiring side.
What ts past Is past, beyond our altera
tion; but the future is always Just ahead,
and It is ours. __
The Hog Know*.
From Farm and Fireside.
Actual feeding tests show that anlmala
will choose as well the feeds they need
as the most skilful feeder can do with
his pencil, paper and tables of feeding
values. Hogs given corn and meat meal
in a self feeder, so that they could eat
as much of each as their appetites called
for, did better than hogs fed according
to a balanced ration, figured out for them.
Appetite Is a guide which has served
all animals since heard of.
