WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—President Wilson has iseued the fol lowing appeal o the Natton: My fellow countrymen: ‘The tasues of the present campaign are of such tremendous im- Dortance and of euch far-reaching significance for the influence of the country and the development of its future relations, and I have necessarily bad so much to do with their development, that I am sure you will tfink it natural and proper that I should address te you @ few words concerning them. Every One who sincerely believes in\government by the people Must rejoice at the turn affairs have taken In regard to this cam- paign. This election is to be a genuine national referendum. The determination of great policy upon which the influence and au- thority of the United States in the world must depend is not to be left to groups of politicians of either party, but is to be referred to the people themselves for @ sovereign mandate to their representa- tives. They are to instruct their own Government what they wish done. The chief question that ts put to you is, of course, this: Do you want your country’s honor vindicated and the Treaty of Versailles ratified! Do you in particular approve of the League of Nations as or- ganized and empowered in that treaty? And do you wish to see the United States play its responsible part in it? You have been grossly misled with regard to the treaty, and particularly with regard to the proposed character of the League of Nations, by those who have assumed the serious responsibility of opposing it. They gone so far that’ those who have spent their lives, as I have spent my life, in familiarizing themselves with the history and traditions and policies of the Nation must stand amazed at the gross ignora: nd impudent audacity which have led them to attempt to {nvept an “Americanism” of their own which has no foundation whatever in any of.the authentic traditions of the Government. Americanism as they conceive it reverses the whole process of the last few tragical years. It would substitute America for Prussia in the policy of isolation and deflant segregation. “Their conception of the dignity of the Nation and its interests is that we should stand apart and watch for opportunities to advance our own interests, involve ourselves in no responsibility for the maintenance of the right in the world or for the continued vindication of any of the things for which we entered the war to fight. The conception of the great creators of the Government was absolutely opposite to this, They thought of America as the light of the world, as created to lead the world in the assertion of the rights of peoples and the rights of free nations, as destined to set & responsible example to all the world of what free government is and can do for the maintenance of right standards, both na- tional and international. Thig light the opponents of the League would quench. They would relegate the United Btates to a sub- ordinate role in the affairs of the world. Why should we be afraid of responsibilities which we are qual- {fied to sustain and which the whole of our history has constituted & promise to the world we would sustain? This is the most mo- mentous issue that has ever been presented to the people of the United States, and I do not doubt that the hope of the whole world will be verified by an absolute assertion by the voters of the coun- try of the determination of the United States to live up to all the great expectations which they created by entering the war and en- abling the other great nationa of the world to bring it to a victori- ous conclusion, to the confusion of Prussianism and everything that arises out of Prussianism. Surely we shall not fail to keep the promise sealed in the death and sacrifice of our incomparable sol- diers, sailors and marines who await our verdict beneath the sod of France, . Those who do not care to tell you the truth about the League of Nations tell you that Article X. of the covenant of the League would make it possible for other nations to lead us into war, whether we willed it by our own independent judgment or not. This is absolutely false. There is nothing in the covenant which in the least interferes with or impairs the right of Congress to declare war or not declare war, according to its own Independent Judgment, as our Constitation provides, ‘Those who drew the covenant of the League were careful that ft should contain nothing which interfered with or impaired the constitutional arrangements of any of the great nations which are to constitute its members. They would have been amazed and in- dignant at the things that are now being ignorantly sald about this great and sincere document. The whole ‘world will wait for your verdict in November, as it would wait for.an intimation of what ite future is to be. ‘WOODROW WILSON, ‘The President prepared his statement late yesterday, dictating It to & stenographer, and even the White House staff, other than the short- hand man, did not know what he was engaged on until he sent the manu- script out to be mimeographed for distribution. There was no confer. ence with politicians preceding it, aud no request from Democratic head- quarters. ‘ MARION, O,, Oct. 4.—Reports of a break between Senator Harding and leading irreconc!bles over the treaty issue again were denied to-day by the Republican Presidential nominee. Mr. Harding said he had re- ceived detailed information of public speeches by Irreconctlable Senators and had found in them no lack of harmony with his own views. He said: L approve what Senator Borah has said in his public addresses, He will continue to make speeches for the Republican ticket, and T am sured shall approve also what he says to the voters in the future. 1 have just received a full stenographic report of the address of Senator Johnson made at Los Angeles Sept. 26. It Ipates « clusively any notion that Senator Johnson is out of harmony with the platform and the candidate.

Members of the Contest Committee of the Aero Club of America, under whose direction a speed airplane race | will be held Thanksgiving Day for the Pulitzer $5,000 trophy, yesterday selected the course for the contest. Col. B. F. Castle, Chairman of the foommittee, accompanted by Edward MeQpanell, William Larned and H. 8. Brown, went to Mitchel Field, Hemp- stead, yosterday morning, and en- tered an airplane for an inspection of the country, The air was fortunately favorable to visibility. Upon return to Mitchel Field announcement was made that a closed circuit of forty miles had been agreed upon. ‘The start will be from Mitchel Field. From there the course lies south- eastward, above Wantagh, Maas pequa, Amityville, Babylon, swinging north to Colonial Springs and Central Park, and returning, westward to| Mitchel Field. Four laps of this circuit will con- stitute the race, a total of 160 miles. |The course has the advantage that {at all times good landing may be made from 1,500 feet in event of trouble, while from the viewpoint of the spectator no terrain in*the coun- try offers superior vantage points, | Central Park has a well-kept fyi feld, large enough for landing at high speed, and there are marly natural fields on the circuit. These factors |wtlt add materially to the safety of the flyers. | Autonet Field, as the place for the! take-off and the landing, will be the| favored spot, but from’ almost any | other place along the route the rae | may be followed for the greater part of the course. It is expected that arrangements will be made s0 that | {all who desire may find standing | |room and automobile parking space | on Mitchel Field. | _,Planes entered from this country £8: the Gordon Bennett Cup are ex- pected to be back in time tu take part in the Pulitzer Trophy contest. They are known to be capable of 180 sniles an hour or better, so that it is ex- pected the race from Mitchel Field Will be finished well within the hour. proele Bbie |NEW NAVY PLANES , CARRY BIG TORPEDO | Pacific Coast Gets Bombers Which Can Fly 400 Miles With- | out Stop. i Further particulars concerning the | purposes of the Navy Department in providing the Pacific Coast with air protection were furnished yesterday when the Manufacturers’ Aircraft As- sociation announced that the first giant Martin torpedo plane shipped ta San Diego had been followed by seven | others. | This fleet, which will operate out of ‘the Naval Air Station at San Di will co-operate with the Pacific Fl also will be utilized for strictly defense purposes, by land unite.

No one thought tt odd that Mrs, Nelson Smith should be silent, for her remark about the Countess de Santiago's beauty showed that she had met the lady; but to any one who had turned a critical stare upon her then, her expression must have seemed strange.

EVER in his life had Ruthven mith been blessed or cursed by an anonymous letter, He did not know what to make of !t, or how to treat ft. Instead of exciting him, as it might had he been a man of megeurial temperament, it irritated him intensely. He was constyutionally timid. He was conventional, and prim in his thoughts of life and all desired it ta give, He was a creature of a past generation; and whenever In ‘time he had chanced to exist he would al- ways have lagged @ ition be- hind. But there was that one oolor- ful streak which somehow, as if by @ mistake in creation, had shot a nar- row rai vein through his drab soul, like a glittering opal in gray- brown rock. He loved jewels., He had known all about them by Instinct even before he knew 4 painstaking research. He could judge jewels and recog- nize them under any disguise of cut- ting. He could do this better than al- mogt any one in the world, and he could do nothing glse well; therefore it was preordai: that he should find his Present position with some such firm as the Van Vrecks; and, being in it, adventures were bound to come. It was part of Ruthven Smith, an intimate part of him, not to be ble | to decide for a jong time what to do when he was confronted with one of those emergencies unsuited to hts tem- perament. He wrong thing, consult any one. He generally counted on blundering through somehow; and so it was in the matter of the anony- mous letter. 0 At all eyents, he had told himeelt, no matter what he might decide later, it was just as well that he had ac- | cepted the invitation to Valley House. Perhaps sbme one—he could not think who—was playing a stupid practical Joke, with the object of getting him there. But he would rigk that and go, and let his conduct shape itself a: cording to developments. If the letter were written by a prac- made to tieal joker he would be look ridiculous in the eyes of all who were in the secret. And that thought had had to complain of the theft) ex- cused this seeming carelessness by the statement that he had hoped hi identity might pass unsuspected, theory was that safety lay in ipsig: nificance. He had engaged a small, cheap cabin for himself alone, taking an 1 sumed name; had pretended to be a schoolmaster on holiday, and had | the pearls and other things al- on his person in a money belt. Even at night he had kept the belt en his body, a revolver under his pil- ow, and the door of his cabin locked, with an extra patent adjustable lock of his own, invented by a member of the firm he served. It had not seemed probable that he wonld be recognized, or possible that he could be robbed Yet one morning he had waked late, with a dull headache and sen: tion of sickness, to find ¢! though closed, was unfa: that all his most valuable were missing from the belt. Some were left, as though the thief| had fastidiously made his selection, | scorning to trouble himself with any- thing but the best. The mystery of the affair was increased by the fact that, though the man (Annesley vaguely recalled some odd name, like Jekyll or Jedkill) felt certain he had) fastened the door, there was no sign that it had been forced open. His patent detachable lock, however, had disappeared like the jewels. And despite the sensation of sick- ness and pain in the head there were no symptoms of drugging by chloro- form, or any odor of chloroform or other anaesthetic In the room, It struck Annesley as strange, al- most terrifying, that these details of the Monarchic “sensation” should come back to her now; but she could not doubt that she had actually read them, amd the rest of the story con- tinued to reprint itself on her brain, as the unrolling of a film might bring back to one of the actors poses of hia own which he hadi let slip into obliv- jon, “Phe Countess de Santiago was the woman who looked in the crystal!” Annesley said to herself, She won- derea why, if Knight had been vexed with the Countess for speaking of their friendship and of the Monarchic, as he had once seemed to be, he should refer to it before these strangers. She looked down the table, past the other faces to his face, and the thought that came to her mind was, how aim- ple and almost meaningless the rest were compared to his. Among the fourteen guests—seven women and seven men—thoygh some had charm or Aistinction, his face alone was com- plex, mysterious and baffling. Yet she loved it. Now, more than ever, she loved and admired it! At this point Knight reflected tor a minute, while every one hung upon his silence, and at last he had an in- spiration “L'il tell you what we can do!” he exclaimed. “My wife and I—you're willing, aren't you, Anita?—can ask her to, stay over this week-end with us, I think she'll come if she tsn't engaged, and we can invite you to meet her at dinner.” men and wome parts are rallying around the banner of the National Security League in its ef- fort to increase its membership to 1,000,000, the league announced yester- ed a pretty woman sitting next to ‘of you who care to conie, cer- he agreed. “Won't we, An- “Oh, of course.

It must be some one with him, or with his some one who knew t! Nelson Smiths and the Annesley-Setons well enough to be aware that there was to be an Easter party at Valley House. ‘The writer hinted in vague terme that he was a private detective aware of certain things, yet so placed that he could have no handling of the affair, exceet from @ distance, and through another person. He pretended a dis- interested desire to serve Ruthven Smit) d signed himself “A Well Wiehe but the nervous recipient of the advice felt that his correspondent was quite likely to be of the class were some scheme for @ robbery on a vast scale at Val- ley House and this letter were part of the scheme? hieves supposed to be “wo! , ately in London should try to him ‘a cat's~-paw in bringing off thelr big haul? This was a terrifying idea, and more feasible than the one suggested by the anonymous writer, that Mrs. Neleon Smith should—oh, certainly it seemed | the wildest nonsense! , Still, there was his duty to the Van Vrecks. They must be considered ahead of everything! So Ruthven | Smith, nervous as a bit who lost its warren, travelled Pcl Devonshire on a Saturday afte nvited to stay al myiad 'y at Valley House tt! It had been a bother to Lady Annesiey-Seton and her cousin Anne to decide how Ruthven Smith should be put at table, In a way, he was @n outsider, the only one among the guests without a litle or mifitary rank which mechanteally indicated his place in relation to others, Be- sides, no woman would want to have him to scream at. Fortunately, however, there were two women asked on account of their husbands, and s0—according to Con- nie’s code—of no importance in them- selves. Providence meant them to be Pushed here and there like pawns on @ chessboard; and t! were pushed to elther side of Ruthven Smith at the dinner table on Saturday night. Both had been placated by bel: told beforehand what a wond man he was, with frightfully exciting things to say, if he could tactfully be made to say them. But only one of the two had courage or spirit to rise to the occasion—the woman he was given to take in, Lady wright, married to Major Sir Elmer Cartwright, who was always asked to every house whenever the Duchess tar my 9 wee invited. waiy Cartwright wae Irish, wrote plays, had @ sense of humor and wag Because not jealous of the Duchess, jshe wrote plays she was continually in search of material, digging It up jeven when it looked unpromising, “IT have heard such cl things about you,” she began.
