\ WE MUST REMAIN NEUTRAL Will Act and Speak,” He Says, “in Spirit of Fairness and Impartiality.” WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—President Wilson issued thé following proc- “My Fellow Countrymen: 1 suppose that every thoughtful * gman in America has asked himself during these last troubled weeks what influence the European war may exert upon the United States, and 1 take the liberty of addressing a few words te you in orger to point out that it is entirely within our choice what its effects upon us will be and to urge very earnestly upon you the sort of speech and conduct which will best safeguard the nation against distress and disaster. “The of the war upon the United States will depend upon what American citizens say and do. Every man who really loves America will act and speak true spirit of theu- trality, which is the spirit of impartiality afl fairness and friend- liness to all concerned. i “The spirit of the nation in this critical matter will be de- termined largely by what individuals and society and those gaih- ered in public meetings do and say, upon what newspapers and magazines contain, upon what ministers utter in their pulpits and men proclaim as their opinions on the street. “The people of the United States are drawn from many , nations, and chiefly from the nations now at war. It is natural and inevitable that there Mould be the utmost variety of sym- pathy and desire among them with regard to the issues and cir- cumstances of the conflict. Some will wish one nation, others another, to succeed in the momentous struggle. It will be easy to excite passion and difficult to allay it “Those responsible for exciting it will assume a heavy re- sponsibility, responsibility for no less a thing than that the peo- ple of the United States—whose love of their country and whose loyalty to its Government should unite them as Americans all, bound in honor and affection to think: first of her and her in- terests—may be divided in camps of hostile opinion; hot against each other, involved in the war itself, in impulse and opinion if not in action. Sudh divisions among us would be fatal to ow peace of mind and might seriously stand in the way of the proper performance of our duty as the one great nation at peace, the one people holding itself ready to play a part of impartial mediation and speak the counsels of peace and accommodation, not as a partisan, but as a friend. “1 venture, therefore, my fellow countrymen, to speak a solemn word of warning to ye against that deepest, most subtle, most essential breach of neu- trality which may spring out of partisanship, out of passionately taking sides.” “The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in », name during these days that are to try men’s souls. We musi \ be impartial in thought as well as in action, must put a curb upos, é our sentiments as well as upon every transaction that might be construed as a preference of one party to the struggle fore * another. “My thought is of America. 1 am speaking, I feel sure, the earnest wish and purpose of every thoughtfut American that this great country of ours, which is, of course, the first in our thoughts and in our hearts, should show herself in this time of peculiar trial a nation fit beyond others to exhibit the fine poise of undisturbed judgment, the dignity of self-control, the effi- ciency of dispassionate action; a nation that neither sits in juag- ment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels, and ; which keeps*herself fit and free to do what is honest and disin- terested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world. “Shall we not resolve to put upon ourselves the re- , straints which will bring to our people the happiness and the great and lasting influence for peace we covet for them?” ‘ Far East or in Europe. The President is understood to be deeply concerned because neturalized Americans who came from countries now at war have taken sides in public discussions in the United States of the European war. On previous occasions he hes publicly spoken against what he termed “hyphenated Americang” declaring that’ citisens of the United States should be American® only, not Irish- Americans, German-Americans or other classifications, This feel- ing is understood to have prompted the issuance of his statement to-day.

Southampton and other ports along the coast of the Eng- sh Channel, The official newe bureau says not a single casualty occurred during the embarkation, transportation and de- barkation of the men and stores of the British expeditionary force. Every- thing was carried through with the sreatest precision. Frederick E. Smith, the Unionist momber of Paritament, who is acting ae Director of the official press bureau of the British War Office and Ad- miralty, issued the following state- ment to the English newspapers to- Fear night: “Field Marebal Lari Kitchener wishes me to add that he and the country are under the greatest obil- gation to the British press for the loyalty with which all references to ‘ied him to issue instructions which ditionary force and their landing on the Continent has been suppressed. “Earl Kitchener is well aware that much anxiety must have caused to the English press by the knowledge that these matters were being freely discussed in the Conti- nental press, and he wishes to assure the press of this country that nothing ut hig conviction of the military mportance to ‘this country of sup- pressing these movements would have placed the press of this country un- der a temporary disadvantage. “Field Marshal Sir John French ar- rived in Paris shortly after midnight on Saturday t@ convey tho sulutations of the British nation to France.

Fiven the police were excited and they were wholly unable to restrain the populace which surged around | the car shouting clamorously ‘Hur- | rah for Gen. French! Hurrah for England! Hurrah for France!’ Women held children above the crowd to see the famous meneral whose motor car was soon filled with small flags and cockades “The coincidence of the British commander-in-chief's name being French is regarded as a happy algury of the Allies, “After sleeping at the Embassy, Sir John French paid a visit to the Palace of the Elysee, where he had a long conference with President Poincaire “When the death of Gen, Grierson from heart failure was announced to- day as ing occurred ‘while travel- ing on @ tratn,’ everybody in official circles understood that the General had been stricken in France. His death will be deeply deplored by the nation.” PARIS, Aug. 18.—Sir John French, the Hritiah commander in charge of the British troops in France, after a conference with the Genoral Mtaff, which lasted a good portion of last night, left for the front to-day, A high-powered motor car, with @ cing chauffeur, was placed at his disposal, As he entered it a huge crowd in the streets cheered him | wildly.
