NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1916. U. S. FLAG CANNOT BE STAINED WITH IMPUNITY Self-respect of Naton Must Be Preserved Wilson De- clares in Stirring Preparedness Speech De- livered at Des Moines. 2.—Eight the Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. thousand persons swarmed collseum here night to President Wilson discuss the need of preparation for war. The multitude Jook up every available foot of space soon after the doors were opened at 6:30. At 7:00 o'clock an hour before the president was to speak the doors to the blg hall were locked. Ten thousand more, the police estimated, were turned away. The president stood directly in front of two great American flags as he faced the audi- ence. Every man, woman and child had an American flag. As the presi- dent entered they cheered wildly. President Wilson, in addressing this, %he largest audience of his present | trip, askd this question: “Do you want the situation to such that all the president can do is to write messages and utter words of | protest?” ‘\ “Why, to ask that question is to | into be | ' he Voico of Protest. | | “Whencver international law is vio- ] !lted by one or the other belliger- | nts,” the president said, “Amari(‘al answer it said. was called upon to register a ‘voice of protest, of insistence.’ “Do you want the sltuation to be: THIS SPRING YOUTH * WILL PROMENADE IN A SUIT LIKE THIS | All shades of tan will be promi- nent in springs spectrum.

No One For Peace And Dishonor. “I know there. is not a man or woman within the hearing of my voice who would wish peace at the expense of the honor of the United States.” The president’s address was punctu- with thunderous applause. He spoko slowly and gravely, with em- phatic gestures to enforce his words. His declaration that the United States wanted peace drew a quick response, and the assertion that the self-respect of the nation must be preserved elic- ited another great demonstration. A throng that filled every seat in the Coliseum cheered to the echo. The president declared he was trying to | welgh carefully every word he said. He reiterated that he had been daily charged to keep the country out of war and also to uphold its honor. Sure Of Support. ““And many a night when it has seemed impossible for me to sleep,” he said, “‘because of the apparently in- extricable difficulties into which our international relations were drifting I have sald to myself, ‘T wonder if the people of the United States fully know what that mandate means to me.” And then sleep has come; be- cause I knew that there was not a community in America that would not stand behind me in maintaining the honor of the United States. ' “The diflficulty of keeping America at peace during this titanic struggle across the sea cannot be disclosed now; perhaps it never can be dis- closed. How anxious and how difficult this task has been. But my heart has been in it. I have not grudged a single burden that has been placed upon me with that end in view. For | I know that not only my own heart but the heart of all America was in the cause of peace,” There are actually men in America preaching war, the president declared, men who want the United States to have entangling alliances abroad. Fe sa11,i he did, not think they spoke the | volce of America which he declared to | He added that others | go further than he in advocating | peace. “They preach the doctrine of | peace at any price,” he added, while men in the audience cried “Never! Never!” He sald these men did not know the circumstances of the world. America Not An Ostrich. “America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand,” he said. The president declared he hoped 1f this war had no other result it would create an international tribunal to settle questions which cause war. His declaration that he had found the people of the middle west for pre- paredness drew long applause. “Someone, who does not know our fellow citizens as well as he ought to know them, told me there was a cer- tain degree of indifference and lethar- gy in the middle west with regard to the defense of the nation,” he de- clared. “I said I did not believe it, but was going out to see. I have seen what 1 expected to see—great bodies of serious men and women coming together to show their inter- est in the object of my visit.” Tribute to Flag. The president closed with a tribute to the American flag. “As I look at that flag,” he said, “I seem to see many- characters upon it which are not visible to the physical eye. There seem to move ghostly vis- ions of devoted men who, looking to that flag, thought only of liberty, of the rights of mankind, of the mission of America to show the way to the world for the realization of those | rights. And every grave and every | brave man in the country would seera ! to have upon it the colors of the flae, if he were a true American—would seem to have on it that stain of red which means the true pulse of blood: that patch of pure white which means the peace of the soul. And then there seems to rise over the graves .t those men, and to hallow their mem ories, that blue space of the sky in which swim those stars which ex- emplify for us the glorious galaxy of NO WINTER HER: The picturesque scenes and won- derful_climate of lovely, tropical Porto Rico are only 43 days from New York.
