President Wilson Topeka, Kons., Feb. 2.-President .Wilson to-day asserted the right of Americans to travel abroad, and their Tight to send food, cotton and manu factured products to peaceful popu lations "in open neutral markets" and "wherever tho conditions of war make it possible to do so under the ordinary rules of international law.'" "lt may be necessary to use -the force of the United States to vindi cate the rights of American citizens to enjoy the protection ot interna tional law," be declared emphatic ally In a speech boro. He urged the sup port of the people in preparing that force for use, if necessary. .When the President arrived in To peka tho applause which greeted him ?was scattering. When he loft To peka thousands roared a friendly farewell. Clearly Marked nights. "There is nothing you would quicker blame me for than for neg lecting to safeguard the rights of Americans, no matter where they might be in tho world," said the President. "There are perfectly clearly mark ed rights guaranteed by international law which every Amerioau is entitled to enjoy, and America is not going to abide tho habitual or continued neglect of those rights. "We have a right to send food to peaceful populations wherever condi tions-of war make it possible to do so under the ordinary mles of war. We have a right to supply them with our cotton to clothe them. We have a right to supply thom with our man ufactured products." Tho Monroe doctrine was spoken of as a handsome guarantee by the United States of the rights of na tional and popular sovereignty on this side of tho water in both conti nents of the Western Hemisphere. Nothing sustains the honor of the United States in respect to this long cherished policy, the President said, but the moral and physical force of the United States. He spoke of the spirit shown by the nation in freeing Cuba, and added that "the American .people feel the same way about the Philippines." "You ask me: 'Is there some new crisis that has arisen?' I answ jr, no; there ls no special, new, critical situation which 1 have to discuss with you, but I want you to understand that the situation every day of the year ls critical while this great con test continues in Europe, I need not tell you what my own attitude to wards that contest is. I have tried to live up to the counsel which I have given my fellow citizens, not only to be neutral in action, but also to be neutral in tho genuine attitude of thought and mind. It is easy to Tefrain from unneutral acts, but lt is not easy, when the world ls swept by storm, to refrain from unneutral thought. Composite Nation. ""Moreover, America is a composite nation. You do not realize it quite so fiiuch in Kansas as lt is realized in some other parts of the Union. So overwhelming a portion of your pop ulation is native born that you natu rally feel your first concentration to .be of America, and things American; but 1 imagine other communities, and .they aro many, contain very .largo bodies of mon whose birthplace, whoso memories, whose family con nections are on tho other side of the sea, in places now swept by the flame of war; men for whom every mail brings news of some disaster that it may he has touched those whom they love or bas swept the face of some countryside which they remember in association with the days of their youth. Their intimate sympathies are with some of the places now most affocted by this A CHILD'S TONGUE SHOWS IF LIVER OH BOWELS AHE ACTIVE. If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious, Give Fruit Laxative at Once. Every mother realizes, aftor giving her children "California Syrup of Figs," that this ls their Ideal laxa tive, because they love its pleasant taste and lt thoroughly cloanses tho tender little stomach, liver and bow els without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath ls bad, stomach sour, look at tho tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of tho bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system ia full of cold, throat sore, has sto machache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remember, a good "inside cleansing" should always bo the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "Califor nia Syrup of Pigs" handy; they know ia teaspoonful to-day saves a sick child to-morrow.

You cannot wonder, 1 do not wonder, that their affections aro stirred and old memories awak ened and old passion rekindled. "The majority of them aro stead fast Amorlcans, neverthless. For, look what happened to them, my fel low citizens. You and 1 were bom In America; they chose to be Ameri cans. They deliberately came to America, beckoned hither by some of tho fairest promises and prospects ever offered to mandkind. * * * The vast majority of them have the pas sion of American liberty In their hearts, just as much as you and I have. I do not want any Amerloan to misunderstand the real situation, and I beliove that to be the real sit uation. Tried to Cnuso Trouble. "Some men of foreign, birth have tried to stir up trouble In Amerioa, but, gentlemen, some moa of Amer ican birth have tried to stir up trou ble in America, too. If you were to listen to the counsels that are dinned into my care in the executive office In Washington you would 'find that Borne of the most Intemperate of them came from the Une of men who had for generations together been identi fied with America, but who for the time being are so carried ?way by the sweep of their sympathies that they have ceased to think In the terms of American tradition and American policy. "So that the situation for us ia this: There ls no country In the world, I suppose, whose heart is mor? open to generous emotions than this dear country which we love. You have seen what tho result was in the extraordinary amount of assistance which we have tried to render those who are suffering most grievous^ from the consequences of the war or the other side of the sea. I expr?s; no judgment concerning -any matte with regard to the conduct of th< war, but the heart of America hai bled because of the condition of th< people in Belgium, and you knov how we have poured out our sympa thy and our wealth to assist in the re lief of suffering In that storm-swep land. Combustible Material. "So what you have to realize i that everywhere throughout Amerio there ls combustible material-com bustiblo in our breasts. It ls easy t make fire where everything ls hot. 1 has been our dally and hourly an> iety In Washington to see that th exposed tinder was covered up an the sparks prevented from fallin where there were magazines. Moderate Proposals. "We have been proposing only very moderate increase in the stain lng army of tho country because lt i already too small for the rou tl n uses of peace. I have not had sob iers enough to patrol the border b< tween here and Mexico. I have n( had soldiers enough for the ordinal services of the army, and there ai many things that lt has been lmpo sible for me to do which it was ni duty to do, because there were n< men to do them with. Yon are'in going to be jealous of an Increase i the army sufficient to enable the e ecutive to carry out his constitution responsibilities. And over and aboi that we have proposed this: That sufficient number of men out of tl ranks of tho civil pursuits of tl country should be trained in the u and the keeping of arms. "Is there anything inconsiste with the traditions of Kansas or wi tho true traditions of America in proposal like that? The very c sence of American tradition is co tallied In the proposal. . "At the very outset the makers our very institutions 'realized th the force of the nation must dwell the homes of the nation. I do n mean the moral forces merely; Imo tho physical force. They realiz that every man must be allowed n only to have a vote, but, if he want to, to have a gun so that when t voices of peace did not suffice, t voices of force would prevail, kno ing that groat bodies of mon do n use force to usurp their own lib< ties, but to declare and vlndict their own liberties. Tl io Plan Proposed, "What we are asking ls this, 'tl tho nation supply arms for those th? nation who are ready, If occasi should arise, to come to the natloi defense, and that it should do t without withdrawing them from th pursuits of industry and of peace, order that America should know tl in the foundations from which she ways draws her strength there wei up the inexhaustible resources American manhood. This ls nol military policy; this is a policy adequate preparation for national fenso, and any man who represe lt ITA any other light must either Ignorant or consciously misreprcsc lng the facts. "You will say 'wo have a Natio Guard.' Yes, we have -a Natio Guard, and the units of it so far as I have observed them command my admiration and respect, but there aro only 129,000 enlisted men in the United States, taking the nation as a whole, and they are divided up into as many units as there are States. And the Constitution of the United States puts them under tho direct command and control of tho Gover nors of the States, not of the Presi dent of tho United States, and the national authority has no right to call ui>on them for any "C'^ce out side their States, unless the territory of the nation is actually invaded. I want to Bee Congress do everything that it can to assist In the develop ment of the National Guard, but tho National Guard ls a body of State troops and not a body of national re serves. Rights of Mankind. "iBut there are rights higher than either of those, higher than the rights of individual Americans out side of America, higher and greater than tho rights of trade and of com merce. 'We have made ourselves the guarantors of the rights of national sovereignty and of popular sover eignty on this side of the water in both continents In the Western Hemi sphere. You would be ashamed, as I would be ashamed, to withdraw one inch from that handsome guarantee, for it is a handsome one. For we have nothing to make by lt, unless lt be that we aro to make friendships by it, and friendships are the best esury of any sort of business. So far as dollars and cents and material ad vantage are concerned, we have noth ing to make by allying ourselves with the other nations of the Western Hemisphere In order to see to it that no man from outside, no government from outside, no nation from outside, attempts to assert any kind of sover eignty or undue Influence over the peoples of this continent. "Ameirea knows that the only thing that sustains the Monroe doc trine and all the Inferences that flow from it ls her own moral and physi cal force. The Monroe doctrine has never been formally accepted by any international agreement. The Mon roe doctrine merely rests upon the statement of the United States that If certain things happen she will do cer tain things. So nothing sustains the honor of the United States in respect of these long cherished and long ad mired promises except her own moral and physical force. Greatest Interference. "Do you know what has interfered more than anything else with the peaceful relations of the United States with tl\e rest of the world' The credultly of the rest of the world when we have made statements of our sincere unselfishness In these matters! The greatest surprise the world ever had, politically speaking, was when the United States withdrew from Cuba. We said 'we are lighting this thing for the sake of the Cubans and when lt ls over we are going to turn Cuba over to her own people. And statesmen in every capitol in Europe smiled behind their 'hands. They said 'what? That gfeat, rich island lying directly south of the foot of your own Florida! Plant you: flag there and then haul lt down?' Americans "aid 'we will never raise ibo flag of the United States anv where and then haul it down.' And then when the American people saw that the time had come when her promises were to bo fulfilled, down came that, fluttering emblem of pur sovereignty and wo were moro hon ored In its lowering than we had been In its hoisting. The American p joplo feel the same way abort the Philip pines, though tho rest of the world does not yet believe it. V/e are trustees for the Filipino people and just so soon as we feel that they can take caro of their own affairs, with out direct interference and protection, tho flag again will be honored by the fulfillment of a promise. What the Flag Means. "That flag stands for honor, not for advantage. That flag stands for the rights of mankind, no matter where they be, no matter what their antece dents, no matter what tholr race; lt stands for the absolute right of politi cal liberty and freedom and self-gov ernment, and wherever lt stands to the contrary American traditions have begun to bo forgotten. "But, my friends, tho world does not understand that yet. It has got to have a few more demonstrations like the demonstration In Cuba. It .has got to have a few more vindica tions of the American name. When those vindications have come, I be llevo that nothing but peace will ever reign between tho United States and tho nations of tho rest of the world. For every man who minds his own business Ia sure of peace." Invigorating: to the Palo and Sickly The Old Standard general a tren ethe nina tonie.

The President declared that sub marine commanders abroad have In structions which for the most part conform with international law, but that the act of one commander might set the world afire, including America. "Upon the ocean there are hun dreds of cargoes of American goods," he said. "Cotton, grain and all the bountiful supplies America is sending out to the world-and any one of those cargoes, any one of those ships, may be the point of contact that will bring America Into the war."
