T, LAST AND ALL TIME FOR AMERICA Wilson Sounds Campaign Note for United Nation Washington, Oct. 13.—A demand upon all- Americans upon pain of os- tracism, to be more than neutral in regard to the European war, to take wtheir stand for America first, last and all the time, was volced by President Wilson' yesterday in a speech at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of Daughters of the American Revolution. The United States, the president said, was not merely trying to keep out of trouble 2but was trying to preserve the foun- dations upon which peace could be rebuilt. “Peace can be rebuilt,” he added, “only upon the ancient and accepted principles of international law; only upon those things which remind na- tions of their duties, to each other and, decper than that, of their duties to mankind and humanity. America s a great cause which is not con- ined to the American continent. It J& the cause of humanity itself.’ Time to Line Up. Declaring his falth in the loyalty be of our number. Now we have come of the great body of naturalized citi- zens of foreign birth, the president said he believed the impression was too general that a very large num- Z%ber of these citizens were without a sufficient affection for the American ideal. But I am in a hurry to haye a line-up,” he explained, “and let the men who are thinking first of other countries on one side and those who are for America, first, last and all the time on the other side.” Every political action and every ‘Bocial action in America at this time, said Mr. Wilson, should have for its object to challenge the ' spirit of Americanism. = Time of Special Test. The president’s address in part fol- lows: “For my part, I believe that the constant renewal of this people out of foreign stocks has been a constant source of reminder to this people of What the inducement was that was offered to men who would come and to a time of special stress and test. There mever was a time when we needed more cléarly to conserve the principles of our own patriotism than this présent time.

We stand apart unembroiled, conscious of our own principles, conscious of what we hope and purpose so far as our powers permit for the world at large, and it is necessary that we should consolidate the American prin- ciple. Every political action, every social action, should have for its ob- ject in America at this time to chal- lenge the spirit of America; to ask that every man and woman who thinks first of America should rally to the standards of our life. There have been some among us who have not thought first of America, who have thought to use the might of America in some matter not of America’s or- iginatice and they have forgotten that the first duty of a nation is to ex- press its principles in the action of the family of nations and not seek to aid and abet any rival or contrary ideal. Neutrality Negative Word. “Neutrality is a negative word. It is a word that does not express what American ought to feel. America has a heart and that heart throbs with all sorts of intense sympathies, but America has schooled its people to love the things that America be- lieves in and believing that America stands apart in its ideals, it ought not to allow itself to be drawn, so far as its heart is concerned, into anybody’s quarrel. Not because it does not understand the quarrel, not because it does in its head assess the merits of the controversy, but be- cause America has promised the world to stand apart and maintain certaln principles of action which are grounded in law and in justice.. We are-noi trying to keep out of tromble; we are ‘trying to preserve the foun- dations upon which peace can be re- built. Peace can be rebuilt only up- on the ancient and accepted princi- ples of international law, only upon those things which remind nations of their duties to each other and to hu- manity. “America has a great cause which is not confined to the American conti- nent. It is the cause of humanity it- self. I do not mean that in'anything I say to imply a judgment upon any nation or upon any policy, for my ob- ject here this afternoon is not to sit in judgment upon anybody but our- selves and to challenge you to assist all of us who are trying to make America conscious of nothing, so much as her own principles and her own duty. I look forward to the necessity in every political agitation in the years which are immediately at hand of calling upon every man to declare himself, where he stands. Is it America first or is it not? We ought to be very careful about some of the impressions that we are form- ing just now. There is too general an impression, I fear, that very large numbers of our fellow citizens born in other lands have not entertained the American ideal; but their num- bers are not large. Foreigners Staunch to America. “Those who seek to represent them are very vocal but they are not very influential. Some of the best stuff of America has come out of foreign lands, and some of the best stuff in America is in the men who are natur- alized citizens of the United States. I would not be afraid upon the test of ‘America first’ to take a census of all the foreign born citizens of the United States, for I know the vast maJjority of them came here be- cause they believed in America, and their belief in America has made them better citizens thansome peo- ple who were born in America. They can say that they have bought this privilege with a great price. They have left their homes, they have left their kindred, they have broken all the nearest and dearest ties of human life in order to come to a new land, take a new rootage, begin a new life and by self-sacrifice express their confidence in a new principle; where- as it cost us nothing of these things. We were born into this privilege; we were rocked and cardled in it; we did nothing to create it, and it is, there- fore, the greater duty on our part to do a great deai to enhance it and preserve it. I am not deceived as to to balance of opinion among the foreign born citizens of the United States, but I am in a hurry to have an opportunity to have a line-up and let the men who are thinking first of other countries stand on one side— biblically, it should be the left—and all those that are for America first, last and all the time on the other side. Draws Comparison With Hazing. “Now you can do a great deal in this direction. When I was a college officer I used to be very much opposed | to hazing; not because hazing is not | wholesome, but because sophomores are poor judges. I remember a very dear friend of mine, a professor of ethics on the other side of the water, was asked if he thought it was ever justifiable to tell a lie. He said, ves, he thought it was sometimes justi- fiable to tell a lie, ‘but,’ he said, ‘it is so difficult to judge of the justifica- tion that I usually tell the truth.”’ I think that ought to be the motto of the sophomore. There are freshmen who need to be hazed, but the need is to be judged by such nice tests that a sophomore is hardly old enough to determine. But the world can de- termine them. We are not freshmen at college, but we are constantly hazed. I would a great deal rather be obliged to draw pepper up my nose than to observe the hostile glances of my neighbors. I would a great deal rather endure any sort of physical hardship if I might have the affection of my fellow men. We constantly dis- cipline our fellow citizens by having an opinion about them. This is the sort of disciplne we ought now to ad- minister to everybody who is not to the very core of his heart an American. Just have an opinion about him and let him experience the atmospheric effects of that opinion! And I know of no body of persons comparable to a body of ladies for creating an at- mosphere of opinion. I have myself in part yielded to the influence of that atmosphere, for it took a long time to observe how I was going to vote in New Jersey. No Orders From Anybody. “So it has seemed to me that my privilege this afternoon was not mere- ly a privilege of courtesy, but the real privilege of reminding you, for I am sure I am doing nothing more, of the great principles which we stand as- sociated to promote; and I for my pdrt rejoice that we belong to a coun- t‘lg‘in which ‘the wholeé business of government 1§ 'so difficult. We do not take orders from anybody; it is a universal communication of convic- tion, the most subtle delicate and dif- ficult of processes. There is not a single individual’s opinion that is not of some consequence in making up the grand total, and to be in this great co-operative effort is the most stimu- lating thing in the world. A man standing alone may well misdoubt his own judgment. He may mistrust his own intellectual processes, he may wonder if his own heart leads him right in matters of public conduct; but if he finds his heart part of the great throb of a national life, there can be no doubt about it. If that is his hap- py circumstance, then he may know that he is part of one of the great forces of the world, The president’s address was marked by frequent applause. As he entered Memorial Continental hall, in which the meeting was held, a band played the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the audience rose and clapped. He walked from the White House to the hall with a military aide, and his approach was heralded by a blare of bugles. He was introduced by Mrs. Wililam Cum- mings Story, president-general of the D. A. R. Mrs. Norman Galt. the pres- ident’s fiancee, occupied a box above the stage, and Secretary of State Lan- sing with the speakers. NJUNCTION SUIT OVER BIG LOAN Woman Policyholder Opposes Mu- tual Life Taking Allied Bonds Chicago, Oct. 12.—Alleging that the Mutual Lifée Insurance company of New York contemplates investing $10,000,000 of its trust funds §n the Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000, Olga H. S. Walsh, Chicago, holder of a $2,000 insurance policy It the Mu- tual, filed suit for an injunction in the federal court here yesterday The insurance company, Charles A. Peabody, its president; the direc- tors, members of the Anglo-French Credit Loan Commission, J. P. Mor- gan individually and J. P. Morgan & company were named as defendants. Frank S, Monnett, former attorney general of Ohio, who prosecuted the anti-trust suits in Ohio against t¢he Standard Oil company, acted as at- torney for the plaintiff. May Produce Antagonisms. The complaint to the court which filed by Mrs, Walsh in person sets forth that among the thousands of policy-holders in the Mutual Life In- surance company are many persons of various nationalities, and that the investment of the trust funds of these policy-holders in the Anglo-French loan would tend to produce antagon- isms among the policy-holders which might lead to disrupting the com- the company should be loaned or in- pany, and thereby depreciate the value of her interest in the company. The court is informed that *“the solvency 'of the company and the conservation of the reserve fund de- pends on the good will of the pofhcy- holders and no part of the assets of vested in the securities of any of the warring nations or used for the pur- pose of abetting existing wars.” ‘Want Officers Restrained. The bill asks that the officers of the company be restrained from di- rectly or indirectly investing its trus | funds or suffering any of its assets to be used for the purpose of aiding the manufacturer of munitions of war aeroplanes, submarines or any naval outfit or appliances to be used by the English or French nations for belligerent purposes. It further asks that J. P. Morgan & company be re- strained from soliciting or conniving! with the officers and directors of the Mutual Life Insurance company for the purpose of procuring any of its funds to be invested in the §500,£00,- 000 Anglo-French loan. A shailar rule of court is petitioned against the members of the Anglo-French loan commission, Lord Reading, Sir Ed- ward Hopkinson Holden, Sir Henry Babington Smith, Basil B. Blackett, Octave Homberg and Ernest Mallet. The statue of the state of Illinois and of the state of New York govern- ing investment of insurance company funds are incorporated in the bill and the court is informed that the invest- ment is contrary to the statutes, al- though it is declared the defendant company had already invested large sums in British consols, Cape of Good Hope stock, and various Aus- tralian governmental securities. The petition is presented to the court in the name of the petitioner and all other policy holders in the | Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, who may care to join in the action! No Investment Says Peabody. New York, Oct. 12.—Charles A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life JInsurance company of New York, when advised last night by telephone at his home at Cold Spring Harbor, L. I, of the suit brought by Mrs. Walsh, said: ‘“We have never thought of invest- ing any sum like $10,000,000 in An- glo-French bonds. In fact, we have not yet invested a penny in them. The matter is under consideration, how- ever and it might be that we would decide to take $2,000,000 or $3,000,- 000 of the bonds as they are doubt- less a good investment. Act Entirely Lawful. “However, it would be entirely law- ful for us to invest $10,000,000 or any other sum in the bonds, within reason if we saw fit to do so. There is noth- ing in the law to prevent our doing S0 without limit, as our company does business both in France and England. New York Insurance companies doing business in these countries are per- mitted by law to buy their govern- ment bonds.” Neither Mr, Peabody nor Frederick L. Allen, counsel for the Mutual, had heard of the suit until informed of it by a newspaper man. Mr. Allen said it was virtually certain that no summons had been served upon any official of the company as yet. Commissioners Silent. Members of the Anglo-French financial commission, who are named as co-defendants with the insurance company, had heard nothing of the filing of the suit. They declined to comment on it. Although the date of their sailing for Europe has not been announced, it is known that they expect to depart shortly. It was thought unlikely that the suit would delay their departure. J. P. Morgan & Co. likewise refrained from com- ment, A prominent Wall street banker as- serted last night that in his opinion the filing of the suit would not pre- vent the flotation of the loan and would hardly hamper it. Although the contract with the commission has not yvet been signed, the sixty New York banks, trust companies and in- Get It From fhe Fact 30 Days’ Free Trial — No Money Down Let us ship you one of these magnificent Mantel Clocks direct the factory to your home for a thirty-day free trial.
