TALKS FOR PREPAREDNES
.President Tells Railway Busi
ness Men He "Has Learned
Something in 14 Months"
XHW YOHK. Jnn. 28
Speaking to 1300 members nml guests
of the Railway Business AR'oolntloti In
the Brand ballroom of Hip Waldorf
Astoria last night, President Wilson made
tho first of hi appeals to the American
people In behalf of preparedness
"How can .merlcnns differ atiout the
safety of America " nskod the President
V of these manufacturers of rnllwny ma
terials and equipment, contractors In rail
way construction and dealers in railway
supplies, whose guests Included many
men In high political ofllec
As the applause which greeted this de
mand died away Mr. Wilson added a call
to Americans to "put aside partisan pre
possession and draw together for the
successful prosecution of pence" as the
belligerent nations of Duropo have put
asldo partisanship for the successful pros
ecution of the war
ADMITS A niAN'OK OK MINT).
Frankly admitting that la( vc.ir he
hnrt not looked upon preparedness ns a
Vital or a pressing question, the Pres
ident declared that he would be ashamed
of himself If he "hadn't learned some
thing In 14 months " lie added that nn
other thing he had learned within thnt
time wns to come to be In favor of a
Tarirt Board At thlr the railway men
roke Into the slnccrcst applause of the
e enlng, for to most of the program for
preparedness they listened polltly but
without enthusiasm
When ho defended the Administration's
attitude toward the Mexican problem,
Mr. Ilson won not a handclap, though
ho earnestly protested that to Intervene
In Mexico would mean the allonatlon of
"the rest of the Americas," and affect
every International relationship the
United States had There was applause,
however, when he declared that he had
no fear as to the outcome In Congress
of tho preparedness proirrnm. and when
ho described ns his own desire "an im
mediately nvallable national reserve" of
MO.OOO men
"This' Is a year of political accounting."
Said Mr, Wilson, as he drew to the close
of his 45-mlnutc talk, "and Americans
are rather expert accountants. For mj
part, I hope thnt every man In public
life will got what's coming to him."
The President spoke with marked de
liberation to his audience Ills address
was only In a general v that which
he had decided several days ago ho would
make. During the two hours h- spent
at. the Vnlvcrsitj Club during the ntter
noon, he recast his argument entirely,
and, It In understood, laid greater stress
on the character of the opposition to
which he Is being subjected in his sup
port of tho project
This understanding has led to lively
speculation as the course he will pur
sue during his swing around the circle
of the Middle West, on which he will
start tonight from Washington, where
he icturned with Mrs Wilson lust mid
night The expectation of those who
have followed his plans most closeb Is
that he will grow more vigorous still In
his appeals for a reorganization of tho
.Army, and perhaps for an increase of
the nuvy. although that wns a matter
upon which ho purposely touched last
night
PLEA KOU THE RAILROADS
George A Post, president of the Rail
way Business Association, made but pass
ing reference to mllltar preparedness In
the brief speech with which he Introduced
Mr. Wilson. He made the program an
argument for an "attitude of all citi
zens" toward the railroads which should
be one of "appreciation of their needs
and nn understanding of the Impotence
of our countr In time of peril If they
shall be impoverished in resources and
Inadetuate In equipment."
Among the resolutions ndopted by the
association at its business sessions there
waB no reference to preparedness, though
especial attention wns paid to matters
now pending before Congress l
Mrs. Wilson was but one of several
women who thronged tho galleries of the
ballroom at the close of the dinner When
she came in at 9 o clock the dlneis arose
and waved their napkins at her, and
some one started a rebel jell thut swept
the room. The President smiled ,ind
blushed and waved his hand nt his bride
More than 5000 applications had been
received for the L',2 places that were
available at the tables In the ballroom
Finally additional tables were spread in
the first gallery, and then still more were
put In the anterooms and in the Astnr
gallery Itself, until considerably mora
than I3CM round accommodations
Before the President arose nt 0 25
o'clock to deliver his address tables were
cleared from the centre of the flnoi un-
ili an (ounu places wiiuin enrsnoi or
him.
A Liederkran chorus, wearing ribands
of the Amertcn tricolor, sang during
the dinner, and when the President was
Introduced everbody joined In two stan
zas of "America The grand ballroom
never displayed so many American tings,
and two of them, one at each end of the
President's table, were whipped out on
the breeze from concealed electric fans.

BRYAN CHALLENGES WILSON TO
GIVE REASONS FOR PREPAREDNESS
MIAMI, Fin., Jnn. 28. As rt "bon voyaRc" messapre to President
Wilson upon his departure for nn "appeal to the country" on prepared
ness, former Secretary of State Bryan today issued n statement chnllcnp;
injj the President to outline his reasons for urRinp; nntionnl defense
"If he can convince the people he will be entitled to their support;
if his reasons fnil to convince, he will have no excuse for going farther
with his program."
Further outlining his reasons for opposing prepnredness, Bryan said:
"The sum which the President asks for the nrmy and navy would
absorb almost the entire income of all United States farmers, An
adoption of the President's program would work a complete revolution in
our national ideals, in our governmental methods and in the character of
influence we are to exert upon tho world; there is interest in knowing
whether proposed adoption of Old-World theories and practices will promise
deeper friendships, brighter tlays and better things or nrouse interna
tional hatreds which will breed bloodshed nnd invite barbarism.
"The question is not whether we could or would defend ourselves if
attacked. We not only could but would, but our preparedness is increas
ing relatively more rapidly as the belligerent nations exhaust themselves.
"A Inrge part of the Democratic party and a considerable portion of
the Republican party are satisfied with our nation ns it is, and iirefcr to
continue the present scale of preparedness, with any risks which it may
involve rather than risk a change to the European plan with its oppressive
taxes and its menace to pence and international friendship."

wife of his partner, were wrestling for
the possession of a revolver Mrs. Foy,
according to Detective Delshaw, who In

downstairs to the store where it was
usually kept. Wah, It is believed, was
afraid she might pull the trigger acci
dentally, and so. tried to get the revolver
from her.
After testimony by the police, Dorothy

"I cordlnlly commend the President's plan
to lay before the voters his reasons," said Bryan.
"The people are entitled to all tho liRht possible
in order that they may intelligently advise their
public servants. They have heard from the
manufacturers of munitions, to whom prepnied
ness is a sort of 'outdoor relief; they hnvo heard
from the bir? corporations which want a largo

"Having heard fully from these biased
sources, the public will appreciate a statement

which lend him to urge so radical a departure
