Remarks in Wilson Speech
"You may bo suro I will not per
mit myself to bo guided Into nny
action In Mexico that Is not abso
lutely necessary In the final analysis
to uphold tho honor and integrity of
tho United States."
"I am not the servant of thoso who
want to enhanco their Mexican In
vesttnents." "The easiest thing is to strike.
The brutal thing is the impulslvo
thing."
"Do you think the glory of Amer
ica would be enhanced by a war of
conquest in Mexico?"
"Force will not accomplish any
thing permanent."
"It is a matter of personal Indif
ference to mo what tho verdict of
next November if the jury that sits
later givc3 n verdict In my favor."
"Of course, it is our, duty to pre
pare this nation to take caro of its
honor and its Institutions."
"Of course, it Is tho duty of tho
Government to defend the territory
and people of this country."
NEW YORK, July 1. Would tho glory
of the Unttod States be enhanced by a war
of conquost In Mexico?
President Wilson solemnly put this ques-
tlori to members of tho New York Press
Club In tho course of an address before that
organization nnd Its guests at tho Waldorf
last night. Then he paused 'for a reply.
Tho result was a chorus of "Noes."
It was a. question to which tho President
plainly desired an answer from tho Amer
ican people Beset by conflicting interests
; militarists, owners of property Interests
In Mexico, pacifists and thoso having politi
cal Interests ho asked for aid in reaching
a. solutlonof the question.
"I don't-own the American Government,
you know," ho said at ono point
Then ho told of the many letters that
ho has recolvcd from property owners In
Mexico -who have asked for intervention.
But the great majority of tho letters havo
, come, ho said, from earnest men and women
whose names would never ba known.
Tho tenor of the President's speech was
peaceful. No lasting .thins had ever been
created by war, lie asserted It Is the moral
forco alono that builds up. This country
is not for war, In his opinion, ho told his
hearers, and this he knows from tho letters
and the statements that como to him. So,
because ha holds himself the servant ot tho
people, and not the master, nor the Govern
ment of tho United States, ho cares not
for his personal fortunes, but Is willing "to
play for the verdict of mankind."
"Personally," said the President, "It Is
of no consequencoto me what tho verdict
Is on Novomber 7, providing I am confident
that when a later jury sits I shall get
' their verdict In my favor."
At tho outset the President told the
newspaper men that in their presence he
was tempted to throw off his guard and re
veal himself nB tho fallible human being
that ho says ho Is. It was In this spirit
that he spoko throughout, and the diners
received his speech In tho Bplrlt of com
radeship and cheered him again and again.
THD PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
The President's speech In full follows:
"I realize that I havo dono a very Im
prudent thing; I have, come to address this
thoughtful company lof men without any
preparation whatever. If I could have writ
. ten as witty a speech as Mr. Pulitzer, I
would havo written It. If I could havo writ
ten as clear nn enunciation of the funda
mental Ideas of American patriotism as the
Mayor, I should have attempted It. If I
could have been as appealing a. person and
of as feeling a heart as Mr-Cobb, I would
have felt safe If I could havo been as gen
erous and Interesting and genuine' as Mr.
Colby, I should have felt that I could let
myself go without any preparation.
"But, gentlemen, as a matter of fact, I
have been absorbed by the responsibilities
which havo been so frequenly referred to

ri tontaht nnd that Breoccupfttlon has
rnnde It Imcossnblo for rns td forecast even
whal you would ltKS to hear m talk about
"There Is somAthlnB Very oddly contra
dictory about the-' effect you men havA on
ne. ToU are sometimes, particularly In
your, photographla hterprlses( very brutal
to me, nnd you sometimes invade- my prl
vaey, Avert to the extent of formu'atlng? M?
judgments beforo they are formed, and yet
I am tempted when 1 stand face to face
with yotl to take off all guard and merely
expose myself to you as the fallible human
being that I am.
"Mr. Colby said something that was
among the few things I had forecast to say
myself. He said that there are some things
which It Is really useless to debater be
cause they o aa a mater of course. t)f
course, It Is our duty to prepare this nntlon
to take caro bf Its honor nnd Us Institu
tions. Why debate any part of that, except
the detail, except the plan Itself, which Is
always debatable? Of course. It Is the duty
of the Government,, which it will never over
look, to defend the territory and people of
this couhtry. It goes without saying that
It Is the duty of the Administration to
havo constantly In mind with the utmost
sensitiveness every point of national honor.
EAST TO STRIKE.
"But, gentlemen, after you have said and
nccepted these obvious things, your program
6f action Is still to be formed. When wilt
you act, and how will you act? The easiest
thing is to strike The brutal thing Is tli
Impulsive thing. No man has to think b
foro ho takes aggresslvo action, but before
a man really conserves tho honor, by real
Iztng Die Ideals, of tho nation ho has to
think exactly what ho wilt do and how he
will do It.
"Do you think the glory of America would
bo enhanced by a war of conquest In Mcx
lco7 Do you think that any act of violence
by a powerful' nation llko this against a
woak and distracted neighbor would reflect
distinction upon tho annals of the United
States? Do you think that It Ib our duty
to carry self-defenso to a point of dictation
Into tho affairs of another people7
"The Ideals of America are written plain
upon every pngo of American history. And
I want you to know how fully I rcallro
whose servant I am. I do not own tho Gov.
ernmont of tho United States oven for tho
time being. I havo no right In tho uso of
It to expross my own passions. I have no
right to express my own ambitions for tho
development of America It thoso ambitions
aro not coincident with the ambitions of the
nation Itself. .
"And I havo constantly to remind my
self that I am not the servant of thoso who
wish to enhanco tho value of their Mexican
investments, that I am tho servant of the
rank nnd file of tho people of tho United
States.
"I get a great many letters, my fellow
cltlzcns, from important and influential
men In thiscountry, but I get a great many
other letters. I get letters from unknown
men, from humblo women, from people
whoso names have never been heard and
never will bo recorded, and thoro Is but one
prayer in all these letters: 'Mr. President,
do not allow anybody to persuade you that
tho people of this country want war with
anybody.'
"I got oft a train yesterday and as I was
bidding go,ad-by to tho engineer ho said
In an undertone, 'Mr. President, keep out of
Mexico.' And If ono man has said that
to mo, a thousand havo said It to me as
I havo moved about tho country. If I havo
opportunity to engage them further In
conversation, they Say, 'Of course, wo know
that yoti cannot govern tho circumstances
of tho caso altogether, nnd it may bo neces
sary, butfor God's sake do not do it unless
It is necessary.'
"Jjam for the time being the spokesman
of Htich people, gentlemen. I have not read
history "without observing that the greatest
forces In the. world and tho only permanent
forces are tho moral forces. Wo have tho
ovldcnco of a very competent witness, name
ly, the first Napoleon, who said as he looked
back upon tho' last days of his life upon
so much as he knew of human history, he
had to record tho Judgment that forco had
never accomplished anything that was
permanent.
"Force will not accomplish anything that
Is permanent, I venturo to say, In the great
struggle which Is going on on the other
sldo of the sea. The permanent things will
bo accomplished afterward when the opinion
of mankind Is brought to bear upon the
issues, and tho only thing that will hold
tho world steady Is this samo silent. In
sistent, all-powerful opinion of mankind.
Force can sometimes hold 'things steady
until opinion has time to form, but no force
that was ever exerted except in responso
to thnt opinion was ever a conquering and
predominant force. S
"I think tho sentenco In American his
tory I myself nm proudest of Is that In
tho introductory sentences of tho Declara
tion of Independence, where the writers say
that a due respect for the opinion of man
kind demand that they state the reasons
for what they are about to do. I venturo
to say that a decent rcspec of the opinions
of mankind demanded that those who
started the present European war should
havo stated their reasons, but they did not
pay any heed tb tho opinion of mankind,
and tho reckoning will como when the
settlement comes.
"So, gentlemen, I am willing, no matter
what ray personal fortunes may be, to play
for tho verdict of mankind. Personally. It
will be a matter of Indifference to me what
tho verdict on the 7th of November Is, pro
vided I feel any degree of confidence that
when a later jury Bits I shall get their
judgment In my favor. Not in my favor
personally what difference does that
make? but tn my favor as an honest and
conscientious spokesman of a great nation.
"There are some gentlemen who aro under
the delusion that the powor of a nation
comes from the top. It does not. It comes
from the bottom. Power and virtue of tho
tree does not come from the blossoms and the
fruit, but It comes from the roots in the
obscure passage of the earth, where the
power is derived which displays itself In
tho blossoms and the fruit; and I know
that among the silent, speechless masses of
tho American people Is slowly coming up
the great sap of moral purpose and love ot
justice and reverence for humanity which
constitutes the only virtue and distinction
of the American people.
"Look for your rulers of the future. Can
you pick out the families that aro to pro
duce them? Can you pick out the localities
that are going to produce them 7 You have
heard what has been said about Abraham
Lincoln. It Is singular how touching every
reference to Abraham Lincoln 1b. It always
malfes you feel that you wish you had been
near to help him In some fashion to fight
the battles that he was fighting, sometimes
ulmOBt alone. Could you hive predloted, It
you had seen Abraham Lincoln's birth and
boyhood, where that great ruling figure of
tho world was going to spring' from?
"I have presided over a unlyerslty, but
I never deceived myself by supposing that
by University processes you were producing
the ruling forces of the world, a Knew
that all a university could do If it, knew
Its business was to Interpret tha moral
forces ot the world, nnd let the young man
who sat under Its Influence know the very
truth ot truths about where it came from,
and that no man could produce It unless he
felt In his blood every corpuscle spring Into,
delighted life at the mention of Ideas which
have lifted men slowly, oh so slowly, up tho
arduous grades which have resisted prog
ress since the world began.

WORDS, VAIN WORDS,
BUT LADY BELIEVED 'EM
On Strength of Letters of Rec
ommendation, Engaged Driver
for Liquor Team He Drove It
Letters of recommendation sometimes
consist of only words. Mrs. Barbara Krom
onachcr, 1523 North 27th street, knows now
that this Is a fact. Hereafter it Is posslblo
that whenover a man, applying to her for
n position, presents letters of recommenda
tion, lnudlng him ns strictly honest and a
nonboozo fighter, sho will immediately call
tho police.
Sho would bo justified, for yesterday
morning sho hired such a man with a grent
deal of epistolary equipment. Sho con
ducts a wholes'alo liquor house, and sent
her new employe on a delivering expedition
with ?7G worth of beer, whiskey, wine nnd
other liquors. Today tho pollco aro trying
to find htm.
Tho pollco at least havo managed to ar
rest two men who returned with tho wagon,
which In itself Is a triumph for justice, of
course. Samuel Larzett and Frank
Samprolto, both of 4938 Baynton street, der
mnntown, were foolish enough to return
with tho team. As a result of a hearing
this morning they will havo to spend tho
glorlo'us Fourth of July behind prison bars
unless they furnish ball of $500 to iniuro
their appearance at a furthdr hearing before
Magistrate Watson at tho 28th and Oxford
streets pollco station on Wednesday
morning
Larzett nnd Samprello told the police that
a man nt Wayno Junction had stopped them
and offered them a dollar to tako tho team
back to tho wholesalo liquor dealer. Wishing
to earn the dollar they accepted the proposi
tion. But tho police think they may know
what happened to the, man with the letters
of recommendation nnd the $76 worth of
bacchio commodities.

The big rush of Philadelphia to the
seashore for several days' vacation extend
ing over the Fourth of July began In earn
est .this morning. At the Market street
ferries the word "terrible" was applied to
the preliminary crush of outgoing persons,

points on the coast was estimated approxi
mately at between 100,000 and 160,000
beforo noon.
No especial preparations are being made
to take caro of the crowds, but every time
an extra train Is needed It will be made up.
Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad said

EMBLEM OF RED CROSS
BARRED AS THADEMARK
BY GOVERNMENT ORDER
Persona Who U?o it on Goods
Will Bo Prosecuted Under
Act of Congress
of 190B
MANY HAVE ABUSED IT
A sweeping order that manufacturers,
merchants nnd others throughout the coun
try must cease using the Fled Cross em
blem as a trademark on medical goods,
patent medicines nml other merchandise
has been sent out from the headquarters
of the American Hed Cross In Washing
ton Persons who fall to comply with tho
ofder will be prosecuted under an act of
Congress of 1906, which provides ft penalty
for violations of a fine of $100, or from
ono to five years' Imprisonment.
Announcement of the sending of the or
der was made today by Richard 13 Wilson,
executive secretary of the Southeastern
Pennsylvania Chnpter of the American lletl
Cross, with headquarters at M19 Walnut
street. Manufacturers In Philadelphia and
other largo cllles In thr country havo nl
ready been notified of tho Intention of the
Department of Justice to tnforce the pro
visions of the act of Congress of 1905.
HASN'T BED: HN'FOnClSD.
"Although this law was passed In 1905,"
said Mr. Wilson. "It was never enforced
becauso lied Cross matters were not con
sidered particularly Important until tho out
break of the European war.
"Heretofore" anybody could display the
lied Cross sign nt will. Manufacturers have
used It as a trado mark, nnd oven pliyslolnni
havo used the emblem on their automobiles.
Tho Idea In enforcing tho act of Congrosi
of 1905 Is to plnco tho American lied Cross
on a substantial working basis. Only per
sons being accredited members of tho Ameri
can rted Cross will bo nllowcd to wear itcd
Cross buttons."
GAIN MAJVr NEW MEMBERS.
Tho campaign of tho Southern Chapter
of tho American Red Cross to ralso 60,000
members Is progressing favorably, nccord
lng to Mr. Wilson. Ho said he was con
fident that tho number of new members
would exceed tho desired 50,000 beforo the
closo of the campaign on July 20. Moro
than 6000 volunteer workers are canvassing
tho city for members. Membership blanks
to tho number of 75,000 aro circulating
through factories, department stores and
other business places.
A Red Cross tent was erected this morn
ing tn City Hall court yard. From this tent
Miss Jessie Little nnd a corps of workers
nro distributing membership blanks and
Red Crosi literature.
"Our campaign," said Mr. Wilson," Is
simply part of a natlon-wldo movement for
tho raising of 1,000,000 members for tho
American Red Cross. Tho membership feo
Is $1 a year. Half of that goes to tho
headquarters of tho American Red Cross at
Washington and tho other half remains
with the Southeastern Branch of Pennsyl
vania. Our Idea Is to havo members In
the American" Red Cross from Maine to
California."
Dr. Richard H. Harto Is chairman of the
Executive Commlttco. and Samuel D. Lit
chairman of tho Membership Committee.
