He spoke before an audience made up j largely of veterans of the War Be twee.: the Sections, who applauded him vigorously. While he declared he j had no harshness in his heart for Americans of foreign birth and ex-1 I pected them to love the sources of xheir origin, the president said "'America must come first in every [ purpose we entertain arid every man rmist ronnt uDon beins: cast out of our confidence, cast out even, of our , tolerance, who does not submit to! ^that great ruling principle.'' . "Speaking of America, made up out : .. of all the peoples of the world, as the j champion of the rights of mankind,j he said: I I "We are not only ready to cooperate but we are ready to fight against j any aggression, whether from within j ' or without. But we must guard our- j se-ves against any sort of aggression ' which would be unworthy of 'America. ' We are ready to fight for our rights j when those rights are coincident with .the rights of man i*nd humanity."

"Universal training and preparedness were possible," Air. Wilson declared, "only if the men of suitable strength and age will volunteer." He said the "acid test" was about to be applied to bus;ness men to see.whether they would allow their employes to volunteer. He said the army organization bill now before him bristled with that interrogation point, which he warned all the business men of the country was staring them in the face. The president said he was for "universal voluntary training," but that "America does not wish anything but the compulsion of the spirit of America." He added that the people of the nation were watching each other and that a great many mern, even when they did not want to, were go :ng to stand up ar.'d. say "Here."

We know that the spirit of America is invinci ble and that no man can abate its | power, but we know that that spirit . must upon occasion be asserted, and ; that this is one of the occasions. i America is made up out of all the ' nations of the world. Look at the rosters of the Civil war. You will ' see names there drawn from almost j [ every European stock.

It | 1 has stirred the memories of men1 j drawn from many of the belligerent' j stocks. It has renewed in them a nai tional feeling which has grown faint j under the soothing influence of peace.! j but which now flares up when, it j looks as if nation had challenged naj tion to a final reckoning and they rej member the nations from which they I were sprung and know that they are | in this life and death grapple. It is ; not singular, my fellow citizens, that ; this should have occurred and up to j j a certain point it is not just that *e 1 should criticise it have no criticism for men who leve the places of [ ! iheir bin]: a d the sources oi their j origin. We do not wish men to forg-e* i j their mothers and their fathers, their j i forbears running back through ions, j j laborious geueratio .s which have taken part in the building up of the strength and spirit of other nations. No man quarrels with that. From i j such spri. gs of sentiment we all , I draw ?nme nf rhp handsomest inspir- ! 1 ations of our lives. But all that we ! i i do criticise is that in some instances ?they are not very numerous?but in j some instances men have allowed this j old ardor of another nationality to j j overthrow their ardor for the na-; | tionality to which they "have given their new allegiance. 'And so the United States has again to work out by spiritual process a new union, when men shall -not think of what divides them, but shall recall wliat unites them; when men shall not allow old ties to take the place of present al- j legiance; when men must. o.i the; I i contrary, translate that very lo. e of { country of their birth into the ardor of love for the country of their adop- , tion a.:d the principles which it rep-, resents. I have no harshness in my j heart even for the extremists in this ; thing which I have bee.i trying in! moderate words to . escribe, but I ' summon them and I summon them j very solemnly, not to set their pur- I pose agai..st the purpose of Ame -1 ica. America must come first i;i j every purpose we entertain and every j man must count upon being cast ou: of our confidence, cast out eve:: 01 our tolerance, who does not submit to that great ruling principle. ".But what are the purposes of i America? Do you see that there is another significance i.1. the fact that we are made up out of all the peoples of the world? The significance of that fact is that we are not going to de-! <.ote our nationality to the same misJ 1 take.i aggressive purpose that some i ether nationalities have been devoted I to; that because we are made up, an.1 j consciously made up, out of all the | sroat family of mankind, we are champions of the rights of mankkd.1 We are not only ready to cooperate ! but we are ready to fight against any aggression, whether from without or from within. But we must guard our- \ soIvm aorflinst tlift sort of assressio1:! ! ! which would be unwortliy of America. We are ready to fight for our rights when these rights are coincident with . the rights of man and humanity. It ! was to set those rights up. to vindicate them, to offer a home to every ma>a who believed in them, that j America was created and her govern-1 ment ?et up. We have kept our doors open because we did not -think we in conscience could close them agal'.st men who wanted to join their force i with ours in vindicating the claim of J ma ilk.' d to liberty and justice. >o Territory Wanted. i America does not want any addij ticnal territory. She dr not want I any selfish ad'.a^tage over any other; ! nation in the world but she does wish ! every nation in the world to under- j stand what she stands for and to re spect what she stands for; and I can I not conceive of a: y man of any blood ! or origin failr. g to feel an enthusiasm for tlie things that America i stands for or failing to see that they are indefinitely elevated above any ; purpose of aggression or selfish advantage. "I said the other evening in an-j j other place that one of the principles) 1 which America held dear was that! j small and weak states liad as much1 i n"?ht to their sovereignty and in-! dependence as large and stror.gj states. She believes that because' strength and weakness have nothing | to do with her principles. Her pm- j ciples are for the rights and liberties J of mankind and this is the haven j which we ha-e offered to those who believe that sublime and sacred creed \ of humanity.

Some of the public prints have remkded me. as if I needed to be reminded, of what j Gen. Washington warned us against, j He warned us agafcst entangling al-i liances. I shall never myself consent! to an entangling alliance: but I would gladly assent to a disentar;g-| ling alliance, am alliance which would i disentangle the peoples of the world ! i from those combinations in which | they seek their own separate and pri- j 1 vate interests and unite the people of j I I the world to preserve the peace of, the world upon a basis of common [ right and justice.
