In addition to speaking on national defehse the president attacked ‘“men who love other countries better than America” and men who stir up relig- ious and sectarian antagonism. He declared that such men should be ‘“‘called to a reckoning?” Just before the dinner the president shook hands with ali the guests, including Charles F. Murphy. Distinguished Guests Present. The guests at the banquet included Secretary of War Garrison, Senator O'Gorman, Mayor John Purroy Mit- chel, Dudley Field Malone, Collector of the port of New York; Judge Ed- ward Swann, district attorney-elect of New York county; Charles F. Mur- phy and other Tammany leaders; Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago, and more than 400 other democrats, most of them prominent in New York. The president tonight changed his plans for tomorrow. Instead of leav- ing in the morning he will remain until the afternoon and he and Mrs. Norman Galt, his fiancee, will take lunch with Cleveland H. Dodge, at the latter’s home here. The president arrived here short- ly after 3 o’clock today and spent the afternoon with Mrs. Galt. After the banquet he went to the home of Col. E. M. House to spend the night.

The president’s speech in part fol- lows: - Principles Well Known. “Qur principles are well known. Tt is not necessary to avow them again. ‘We believe in political liberty of men and of peoples—of men to choose their own lives and of peoples to choose their own allegiance. “Our ambition, also, all the world has knowledge of. It is not only t- be free and prosperous ourselves, but also to be the friend and thoughtful partisan of those who are fr.e or who desire freedom the world over. If we have had aggressive purposes and covetous ambitions, they were the fruit of our thoughtless youth as a nation and we have put them aside. We shall, I confidently believe, never again take another foot of territory by conquest. We shall never in any circumstances seek to make an inde- pendent people subject to our do- minion; because we believe, we pas- sionately believe, in the right of every people to choose their own allegiance altogether. i Tor ourselves we wish nothing but the full liberty of self-development; and with ourselves in this great mat- ter we associate all the peoples of our own hemisphere. We wish not only for the United States but for them the fullest freedom of independent growtn and of action, for we know that throughout this hemisphere the same aspirations are everywhere being worked out, under diverse conditions but with the same impulse and ulti- mate object. Influences of ‘War Everywhere. “All this is very clear to us and will, 1 confidently predict, become more and more clear to the whole world as the great processes of the future un- fold themselves. It is with a full con- sciousness of such principles and such ambitions that we are asking our- selves at the present time what our duty is with regard to the armed force of the nation. Within a year we have witnessed what we did not be- lieve possible, a great European con- flict involving many of the greatest rations of the world. The influences of a great war are everywhere in the air. All Europe is embattled. Force cverywHere speaks out with a loud end imperious voice in a titanic struggle of governments, and from one | end of olir own dear country to the other men are asking one another what our own force is, how far we are prepared to maintain ourselves against any interference with our national action or development. “In no man's mind, I am sure, is there even raised the question of the vrilful use of force on our part against any nation or any people. No mat- ter what military or naval force the United States might develop, states- | ;uen throughout the whole world | might ‘rest assured that we were gathering that force, not for. attack in any quarter, not for aggression of any kind, not for the satisfaction of any political:- or international am- bition, but merely to make sure of our own security. We have it in mind to be prepared, but not for war, but only for defense; and with the thought constantly in our minds that the prin- i ciples we hold most dear can be achieved by the slow process of his- tory only in the kindly and whole- some atmosphere of peace, and not by the use of hostile force. The mission of America In the work is essen- tially a mission of peace and good will among men. She has become the home and asylum of men of all creeds and races. Within her hospitable borders they have found homes and congenial associa- tions and freedom and a wide and cordial welcome, and they have be- come part of the bone and sinew and spirit of America itself. America has been made up out of the nations of the world and is the friend of the nations of the world.

In accordance with our American tra- ditions we want and shall work for only an army adequate to the con- stant and legitimate uses of times of international peace. But we do want to feel that there is a great body of citizens who have received at least the rudimentary and neces- sary forms of military training; that they will be ready to form them- selves into a fighting force at the call of the nation; and that the na- tion has the munitions and supplies with which to equip them without de- lay should it be necessary to call them into action. We wish to sup- ply them with the training they need, and we think we can do so without calling them at any time too long away from their civilian pursuits. Plan For Congress. “It is with this idea, with this con- ception, in mind that the plans have been made which it will be my privi- lege to lay before the Congress at its next session. That plan calls for only such an increase in the regular Army of the United States as experi- ence has proved to be required for the performance of the necessary duties of the Army in the Philip- pines, in Hawaii, in Porto Rico, upon the borders of the United States, at the coast fortifications, and at the military posts of the interior. For the rest it calls for the training with- in the next three years of a force of 400,000 citizen soldiers to be raised in annual contingents of 133,000, who would be asked to enlist for three years with the colors and three years on furlough, but who during theif three years of enlistment with the colors would not be organized as a standing force but would be expected merely to undergo intensive training for a very brief period of each year. Their training would take place in immediate association with the or- ganized units of the regular army. It would have no touch of the amateur about it, neither would it exact of the volunteers more than they could give in any one vear from their ci- vilian pursuits. “And none of this would be done in such a way as in the slightest de- gree to supersede or subordinate our present serviceable and efficient Na- tional Guard.

Shamrock, Mo.— “I feel it my duty to tell the public the condition of my mmm health before using your medicine. I had falling, inflamma- tion and congestion, female weakness, pains in both sides, backaches and bear- ing down pains, was ;| short of memory, nervous, impatient, passed sleepless nights, and had neither strength nor energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I'had a place in my right side that was so sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer- tainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep | well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are | gone, my house, children and husband are nc longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home.”’— Mrs. Josie Ham, R.

Part of Nation. “What we all wish to accomplish is that the forces of the nation shouid indeed be part of the nation and not a separate professional force, and the chief cost of the system would not be in the enlistment or in the train- ing of the men, but in the providing of ample equipment in case it should be necessary to call all forces into the field. Moreover, it has been American policy time out of mind to look to the Navy as the first and chief line of defense. The Navy of the United States is already a very great and ef- ficient force. Not rapidly, but slow- ly, with careful attention, our naval force has been developed until the |navy of the United States stands | recognized as one of the most effi- { cient and notable of the modern time. | All that is needed in order to brinz {it to a point of extraordinary force other navies of the world is that we have long been pursuing, and that policy of development, not made from year to year but looking well into the future and planning for a defi- nite consummation. We can and | should profit in all that we do by the | experience and example that have been made obvious to us by the mil- itary and naval events of the actual present. It is not merely a matter of building battleships and cruisers lana sSubmarines, but also a matter of making sure that we shall have the | 4dequate equipment of men and mu- | nitions and supplies for the vessels we build and intend to build- Part | of our problem is the problem of ; what I may call the mobilization of | jthe resources of the nation at the | proper time if it should ever be necessary to mobilize them for na- tional defense. We shall study efficien- cy and adequate equipment as care- fully as we shall study number and size of our ships, and I believe that plans already in part made public by the Navy Department are plans which the whole nation can approve with ra- tional enthusiasm, No Panic in Sight. “No thoughtful man feels any panic haste in this matter. The country is not threatened from any quarter. She stands in friendly relations with all the world. Her resources are known and her self-respect and her capacity to care for her own citizens and her own rights. There is no fear amongst us- Under the new-world conditions we have become thoughtful of the i things which all reasonable men con- sider necessary for security and self- defense on the part of every nation confronted Wwith the great enterprise of human liberty anq independence. That is all. “Is the plan we propose sane and I reasonable and suited to the needs of the hour? Does it not conform the [an(‘ient traditions of America? Has | iany better plan been proposed than this program that we now place be- | fore the country? In it there is no | pride of opinion. It represents the | best professional and expert judg- | ment of the country. But I am not so much interested in programs as I am in safeguarding at every cost the | good faith gnd honor of the country. If men differ with me in this vital matter, I shall ask them to make it clear how far and in what way they are interested in making the perman- ent interests of the country safe against disturbance. Support of Country. “In the fulfillment of the program | I propose I shall ask for the hearty support of the country, of rank and file of America, of men of all shades of political opinion. For my position in this important matter is different from that of the private individual who is free to speak his own thoughts and to risk his own opinions in this matter, We are here dealing with things that are vital to the life of America itself. In doing this I have tried to- purge my heart of all per- sonal and selfish motives. For ths time being, I speak as the trustee and guardian of a nation’s rights, charg- ed with the duty of speaking for that ' nation in matters involving her sov- | ereignty,—a nation too big and gen- erous to be exacting and yet courag- eous enough to defend its rights and the liberties of its people wherever | assailed or invaded. that I was discharging the solemn ! obligation I owe the country were T inot to speak in terms of the deepest solemnity of the urgency and neces- | sity of preparing ourselves to guard and protect the rights and privileges | of our people, our sacred heritage of ! the fathers who struggled to make us {an independent nation, “The only thing within our own | borders that has given us grave con- {cern in recent months has been that voices have been raised in America professing to be the voices of Ameri- | cans which were not indeed and in ! truth American,, but which spoke !alien sympathies, which came from men who loved other countries better than they loved America, men who | were partisans of other causes than {that of America and had forgotten ¢ that their chief and only allegiance was to the great government under i Which they live. These voices have | not been many, but they have been | very loud and very clamorous. They + have proceeded from a few who were bitter and who were grievously mis- led. America has not opened its doors in vain to men and women out ! tain her own great position is of those who have come to take ad- vantage of her hospitality have united their spirits with hers as well as their fortuness These men who speak alien sympathies are not their spokes- I would not feel { men but are the spokesmen of small | 8roups whom it is high time that the nation should call to a reckoning, The chief thing necessary in America in order that she should let all the world know ‘that she is prepared to main- that the real voice of the nation should sound forth unmistakably and in majectic volume, in the deep unison of a common, unhesitating national feeling. I do not doubt that upon the first occasion, upon the first op- portunity, upon the first definite challenge, that voice will speak forth {in tones which no man can doubt and with commands which no man dare gainsay or resist. Tells of Another Danger. “May I not say, while T am speak- ing of this, that there is another danger that we should guard against? We should rebuke not only mani- festations or racial feeling here in America where there should be none, but also every manifestation of re- ligious and sectarian antagonism. It does not become America that within her borders, where every man is free to follow the dictates of his consci- of other nations. The vast majority jand efficiency as compared with the | chief of all we should have a definite | ence and worship God as he pleas men shoeld faise the cry.of church against church. To do that is to strike at the very spirit and heart of America. We are a God-fearing peo- ple. We agree to differ about methods of worship, but we are united in ha- lieving in Divine Providence and in worshiping the God of Nations. We are the champions of religious right here and everywhere that it may be our privilege to give it our counten- ance and support. The government is conscious of the obligation and the nation if conscious of the obligation. Let no man create divisions where there are none. - “Here is the nation God has bulld- ed by our hands. What shall we do with it? Who is there who does fiot stand ready at all times to act in r behalf in a spirit of devoted and . interested patriotism ? We are yet only in the youth and first conscious- ness of our power. The day of our country’s life is still but in its fresh morning. Let us lift our eyes to e great tracts of life yet to be ca- quered in the interests of righteous peace. Come, let us renew our al- legiance to America, conserve her strength in its purity, make her chief among those who serve mankind, self- reverenced, self-commanded, mistress of all forces of quiet counsel, strong above all others in good will and the might of invincible justice and t.
