WILSON ADDRESSES
WEST POINT CADETS
President Discusses Preparedness,
Militarism, Monroe Doctrine and
"' ' Americanism.
KO DIVIDED A1LEOIANCE
DIRECTOR OF THE LATEST RUS
SIAN DRIVE.
West Point, N. Y, June 13. Presi
dent Wilson, making his first address
since the presidential campaign be
gan, today discussed preparedness,
militarism, Americanism and causes
of the war in Europe, peace, the Mon
roe doctrine, divided allegiance and
the ideals of America. He declared it
is the present imperative duty of the
United States to be prepared, adding
. "mankind ia going to know that when
America speaks it means what - it
says." '
General George W. Goethals. gov
ernor of the Panama canal zone, was1
one of the visitors here and expected
to confer with the president regard
ing his desire to retire. He considers
the canal finished.
t Following the parade the president
walked to the battle monument where
a canopy of American flags had been
erected over the seat As the presi
dent spoke he faced up the historic
Hudson river. Mrs. Wilson, dressed
entirely in white and wearing a bou
quet of purple orchids,1 sat facing the
president. . - . '
Following his address and a lunch
eon with a group of officers, the presi
dent motored around the grounds.
He planned to leave at 3 o'clock for
Washington.
America Must Come First
Shaking his finger emphatically, the
president told the graduates of the
military academy and a large audi
ence that nobody who does not put
America first can be tolerated. He
added, however, that true Americans
should set a good example.
The president declared the present
war did not come by accident, but
that it had to come. The .United
States wants nothing from Europe, he
said, and there is nothing it wants
which it must get by war. He
sounded a warning that no man can
tell what the next day will bring
forth in world's events.
- The word Americanism was used
today by the president for the first
time in recent addresses. He warned
the graduates against militarism. ,
Not a Blustering Nation.
The president said the United
States should not be a blustering na
tion, a nation with a "chip on its
shoulder" but i calm nation which
will withhold its hands as lotg as
possible and strike only for victory.
The president's address ran through
the entire list of subjects discussed
by former Justice Hughes in his tele
gram accenting the republican nomi
nation and he declared the United
States is ready to join with other na
tions to see that the kind of justice
it believes in is given.
The president's speech was fre
quently interrupted by applause. The
text follows: .
"I look upon this body of men who
are graduating today with a peculiar
interest I feel ; like coneratulatine.
them that they are living in a day nor
oniv so interesting oecause fraught
with Change, but also because so re
sponsible. Days of responsibility are
the only days that count in time, be
cause they are the only dayr. 'hat give
lesi oi quality, iney art itie only
days when manhood and purpose is
tried out as if by fire. v.
; "I need not tell you, young gentle
men, that you are not like an ordinary
graduating class of one of our univer
sities. The men in those classes look
forward to the life which they are to
lead after graduating with a great
many questions in their mind. Most
of them do not know exactly what
their lives are going to develop into.
Some of them do not know what oc
cupations they are going to follow.
All of them are conjecturing what
will be the line of duty and advance
ment and the ultimate goal of success
for them. ',
"There is no conjecture for you.
You have enlisted in aomethingMhat
does not stop when you leave the
academy, for you then only begin to
realize it, which then only begins to
be filled with the full richness of its
meaning, and you can look forward
with absolute certainty to the sort of
thing that you will be obliged to do.
. "But in your case there are many
extraordinary possibilities i because,,
gentlemen, no man can certainly tell
yon what the immediate future is go
jng to be, either in the history of
this country or in. the history of the
world. It is not by accident that
the present great war came in Eu
rope. Every element was there and
the contest had to come sooner or
later, and it is not going to be by
accident that the results are worked
out, but by purpose by the purpose
of the men wbo are strong enough
to have guiding minds and indommt
able wills when the time for deci
sion and settlement come.
"And the part that the United
States is to olav has this distinction
in it, that it is to be in any event
a disinterested part There is noth
ing the United States wants that it
has to get by war,, but there are a
great many things that the United
States has to do. It has to see that
its life is not interfered wtih by any
body else who wants something.
- Preparedness Imperative Duty.
"These are the dava when we are
making preparation, when the thing
most commonly discussed around
every sort of table, in every sort of
circle, in the shops and in the streets,
ia preparedness, and undoubtedly,
gentlemen, tnat is the present impera
tive duty of America to be nrenarrri
But we ought to know what we are
preparing for. I remember hearing a
wim mis y once tnat tne olo max
im that 'everything comes to the man
who waits,' is all very well, provided
he knows what he is waiting for; and
preparedness might be a verv haarrf-
oua thing if we did not know what
we wanted to do wkh the force that
we mean to accumulate and get into
fighting shape.
"America, fortunately, does knov
wnat u wants 10 ao witn Its force.
America came into existence for a
partriular reason. you ,rc
so familiar with American history, at
, any ran in us general character I
i don't accuse you of knowing th u.
! tails of it, for I never found th
youngster who did but you are so
t familiar with the general character
I of American history that it dots not
seem strange to you, but it is a very
1 strange history.

"Now, what we are preparing to,
do is to see that nobody mars that,
and that, being sale itself against in
terference from the ouside. all of its
force is going to be behind its moral
idea, and mankind is going to know
that when America speaks it means
what it savs. I heard a man say to
another: 'If you wish me to consider
you witty I must realty trouble you
to make a joke, we have a right to
say to the rest of mankind:' 'If you
don't want to interfere with -us. if
you are disinterested, we must really
trouble you to give the evidence of
that fact' We are not in for anything
selfish and we want the whole mighty
power of American thrown into that
scale and net into any others.
Militarism is a System.
"You know that the chief thins
that is holding many back from en
thusiasm for what is called prepared
ness is the fear of militarism. I
want to say a word to you young
gentlemen about militarism. You're
not a militarist because you are mili
tary. Militarism does not consist in
the existence of an army, not even
in the existence of a verv great armv.
Militarism is a spirit It is a point of
view. . It is a system. It is a pur
pose. The purpose of militarism is
to use armeis for aggression. The
spirit of militarism is the opposite of
the civilian spirit the citizen spirit.
In a country where militarism ore-
vails, the military man looks down
uon tne civilian, regards mm as in
ferior, thinks of hint as intended for
his, the military man's, support and
use; and just so long as America is
America, tnat spirit and point of view
is impossible with us. There is as yet
in this country so far as I can dis
cover no taint of the spirit of militarism.
r Civil Power Is Superior.
You know that one thine in which
our forefathers took pride was this,
that the civil power is superior to the
military nower in the United State.
Once and again the people of the
unitea otates nave so greatly admired
some military man as to make him
president of the United States when
he became commander in chief of all
the forces of the United States, but
he was commander in chief because
he was president, not because he had
been trained to arms and his authority
was civil not military. I can teach
you nothing of military power, but I
am instructed by the constitution to
use you tor patriotic purposes and
that is tht only use you care to be
put to. That Is the only use vou
ought to care to be put to, becauae
atter ail wnat is the use in being an
American if you do not know what
it is
Americanism Defined.
"We have talked a aood deal shout
Americanism. It ought to be a mat
ter of pride with us to know what
Americanism really consists of.
Americanism consists in utterly be
lieving in the nrincioles of America
and putting them first as above any-
tning mat mignt ny cnance come in
to competition with it. And I for my
part believe that the American test
is a spiritual test. If an American
has to make excuses for what he has
done as an American I doubt his
Americanism. He ought to know at
every step of his action that the
motive that lies behind what he does
is a motive which no American need
be ashamed of for a moment. Now
we ought to put this test to everv
man we know. We ought to let it be
known that anybody who does not
put America first cannot , consort
wuu us. out we ougm to, set tnem
the example. We oueht to set them
"the example by thinking American
tnougnts, oy entertaining American
purposes and those thoughts and pur
poses will stand the test of examnle
anywhere in the world, for they are
imenucq iwr tne Dcitcrmcnt 01 man
kind." .- .,- .

Ing blow was' given he largest sur
viving band of Villa' followers in Chi
huahua at daylight June 9 by twenty
men of the Thirteenth United States
cavalry under Captain Otto W. Ret.
horst in a dashina canvon fight twen
ty miles north of Santa Clara, near
here. The Americans were unhurt.
The Americans routed twenty-five
Villa bandits, killing three, wounding
several and capturing all their horses
and saddles, some rifles and several
thousand rounds of ammunition, crip,
pling the band completely.
A night ride brought the Americans
into the canyon at daybreak", where
they followed fresh horse tracks. Rid
ing at a gallop they rounded a canyon
turn within 200 yards of the encamp
ment in a grove of pines. It was
a complete surprise. There was a
headlona rush anions the Villa fol
lowers, who, half clad, grabbed rifles
and fought from behind trees.
The Americans dismounted and
within three minutes had routed the
bandits, who, abandoned everything
and sought refuge in the rugged
mountains. For four hours the Amer
icans continued the pursuit, climbing
over the mountains afoot and fight
ing from the shelter of rocks. Sev
eral Mexicans were shot, but neither
the bodies nor the wounded were re
covered. Returning to the Mexican bivouac
the Americans added the bandits'
breakfast to their own repast. The
bandits had only beef and coffee. .
This band is said to have been the
largest surviving remnant of the force
of Candelaria Cervantes, who was
killed three weeks ago in a brush
with Americans. The engagement is
regarded as the most important ac
complishment of the campaign.
Situation Seems Improved.
Washington, June 13. While some
State department advices today gave
a more favorable aspect to conditions
in northern Mexico others reported
anti-American demonstrations, leav
ing the situation unchanged. The agi
tation has subsided in the Chihuahua
City region, where the most violent
outbreaks occurred.
Secretary Lansing indicated, how
ever, that amashing of store windows,
parading and speech making had con
stituted tne greater part of the out
breaks. The -rioters have not dis
tinguished between Americans and
other foreigners, it was stated, al
though the cause of the disorder is
always given as the American trodps
on Mexican aoil.

propaganda is not being carried on
