The president's address was applauded | by a nonpartisan audience of L1 men, including many of the leading officials and business men of Ohfo. While he had not written it out In advance, he had thought it over carefully. His theme was “Statesmanship of Industry The president told the business men that it was impossible to separate thes: and life. He declared that the two were inseparable, The history of business in the United States, he sald, was tled up with the history of the nation. United States Needs S°ips.

Reserve Force of World. The European war, he declared, had put the United States in a new relation to the world. This nation will have to be the reserve force of the world, he as- serted. “It is imperative, therefore,” he con- Inved, “that no obstacle shall be put iff the way of American business. . “Business has been set free by the | new banking law. He spoke of the opportunities of dem- ocratic America. “I like to think of the boy in the gut- ter,” he declared, “who will some fay stang up and speak the voice of Amer- fea." Business, the president declared, should stand on its own feet. American business men should not be afrald to match wits with any in the world. The typical Amer- jean should be entirely independent.

On board the Coamo the lleutenant demanded that Captain Bar- bour produce lists of the passengers and crew. The pagsengers were alarmed and ran from the staterooms In their night clothes. Captain Barbour asked why the Descartes had not walted untll morning to stop the Coamo, so as to avold alarm- ing the passengers. The lleutenant re- plled he feared the steamship would have reached port. ‘The captain protested against the action of the lleutenant In taking off the four German firemen, saying his vessel never had been boarded before.

It was sald that if the Coamo was tired upon the was materially increased. Inquiries for detalls have been ditspatched to Europe and to Pdrto Rico. The action of holding up the Coamo 1s contrary to the principles for which the United States has contended and if officlal reports corroborate press reports, the entire matter probably will become the subject of diplomatic protest.

Germany a.n& Austria Deny Exerting Any Pressure on Greece WIENNA, By Courfer to Beriin, Deo. ~(Via London, Dec, 10)-It is ‘Hullvely stated here that the central powers have brought mo pressure what- lever to bear on Greece. The view is | held that the position of Greece is highly ‘diffioult and that the Greek government |in endeavoring to preserve not only neu- trality, but complete independence. The position 1s taken here that pressure on Greece would be useless so long as the Athens government is able to assert its own interests. The interest of the central powers, it 1s stated, is merely that Greece shall re- main neutral. Considering that the Greek government itself sees that it {s for the welfare of the Hellenic people to remain | neutral, the central powers, it s as- | werted, have no occaslon to bring pres- | sure to bear in Athens. 4 ,,,:« | THE WANT AD WAY | All Rights Reserved Why should you go arousd mad Because pour results you have had, LN R sl ou Wo! wa our business thenm wouldn't be bad Just Sit down then and smile And let the Want Ad do the rest.
