Club at Fiftieth Anniversary Din- ner, Asks Support for Admin­ istration Program, New York, NOT. 5.--President Wil­ son was the guest of honor and the principal speaker at the fiftieth anni­ versary dinner of the Manhattan club last night at the Biltmore hotel. There was a great gathering of distin­ guished men, and the chief executive took the occasion to tell them and the country what his administration Is planning in the way of national de­ fense. Our ambition, said Mr. Wilson, Is not only to be free and prosperous ourselves, but also to be the friend and thoughtful partisan of those who are free or who desire freedom the world ovqr. We shall, he declared he believed, never again take another foot of territory by conquest, or seek to make an independent people sub­ ject to our dominion. Because of the great European conflict, said the pres­ ident. "from one end of our own dear country to the other men are asking one another what our own force is, how far we are prepared to maintain ourselves against any interference with our action or development" Though the mission of America In the world is essentially a mission of peace and good will among men, de­ clared Mr. Wilson, we feel justified in preparing ourselves to vindicate our right to Independent and unmolested motion by making the force that is In us ready for assertion. Plans for the Army. "And we know," continued the pres­ ident, "that we can do this in a way that will be itself an illustration of the American spirit. In accordance with our American traditions we want and shall work for only an army adequate to the constant and legitimate uses of times of international peace. But we do want to feel that there is a great body of citizens who have received at least the most rudimentary and neces­ sary forms of military training; that they will be ready to form themselves into a fighting force at the call of the nation; and that the nation has the munitions and supplies with which to equip them without delay should It be necessary to call them into action. We wish to supply them with the training they need, and we think we can do so without calling them at any time too long away from their civilian pursuits. "It is with this idea, with this con­ ception in mind that the plans have been made which it will be my privi­ lege to lay before the congress at its next session. That plan calls for only such an increase in the regular army of the United States as experience has proved to be required for the perform­ ance of the necessary duties of the army in the Philippines, in Hawaii, in Porto Rico, upon the borders of the United States, at the coast fortifica­ tions, and at the military posts of the interior. For the rest, it calls for the training within the next three years of a force of 400,000 citizen soldiers to be raised in annual contingents of 133,- 000, who would be asked to enlist for three years with the colors and three years on furlough, but who during their three years of enlistment with the colors would not be organized as a standing force but would be expect­ ed merely to undergo Intensive train­ ing for a very brief period of each year. Their training would take place In Immediate association with the or­ ganized units of the regular army. It would have no touch of the amateur about it, neither would it exact of th* volunteers more than they could give in any one year from their civilian pursuits. "And none of this would be done In such a way as in the slightest degree to supersede or subordinate our pres­ ent serviceable and efficient National Guard. On the contrary, the National Guard itself would be used as a part of the instrumentality by which train­ ing would be given the citizens who enlisted under the new conditions, and I should hope and expect that the leg­ islation by which all this would be ac­ complished would put the National Guard itself upon a better and more permanent footing than it has ever been before, giving it not only the rec­ ognition which it deserves but a more definite connection with the military organization of the nation. ^ For Development of the Navy. "It has been American policy time of mind to look to the navy as the first and chief line of defense The navy of the United States is al­ ready a very great and efficient force. Not rapidly, but slowly, with careful attention, our naval force has been developed until the navy of the United States stands recognized as one of the most efficient and notable of the mod­ ern time. All that is needed in order to bring It to a point of extraordinary force and efficiency as compared with the other navies of the world is that we should hasten our pace In the policy we have long been pursuing and that chief of all we should have a definite policy of development not msde from year to year but looking well Into the future and planning for a definite consummation. We can and should profit in all that we do by th» experience and example that have been made obvious to us by the mili­ tary and naval events of the actual present. It is not merely a matter of building battleships and cruisers and submarines, bet also a matter of mak­ ing sure that we shall have the ade­ quate equipment of men and muni­ tions and supplies for the vessels we build and intend to build. Part of our problem is the problem of what I may call the mobilization of the resources of the nation at the proper time if it should ever be necessary to mobilize them for national defense. We shall study the efficiency and adequate equipment as carefully as we shall study the number and size of our ships, and I believe that the plans al­ ready in part made public by the navy department are plans whicte»tfife whole nation can approve with rational en­ thusiasm. "No thoughtful man feels any panic haste in this matter. The country is not threatened from any quarter. She stands in friendly relations with all the world. Her resources are known and her self-respect and her capacity to care for her own citizens and her own rights. There is no fear amongst us. Under the new world conditions we have become thoughtful of the things which all reasonable men con­ sider necessary for security and self- defense on the part of every nation confronted with the great enterprise of human liberty and independence. That is all. "In the fulfillment of the program I propose I shall ask for the hearty sup­ port of the country, of the rank and file of America, of men of all shades of political opinion. I would not feel that I was discharging the solemn ob­ ligation I owe the country were I not to speak in terms of the deepest solemnity of the urgency and necessi­ ty of preparing ourselves to guard and protect the rights and privileges of our people, our sacred heritage of the fathers who struggled to make us an independent nation. Hits at the Hyphenates. "The only thing within our own bor­ ders that has given us grave concern in recent months has been that voices have been raised in America profess­ ing to be the voices of Americans which were not indeed and in truth American, but which spoke alien sym­ pathies, which came from men who loved other countries better than they loved America, men who were par­ tisans of other causes than that of America and had forgotten that their chief and only allegiance was to the great government under which they live. These voices have not been many, but they have been very loud and very clamorous. They have pro ceeded from a few who were bittei and who were grievously misled America has not opened its doors in vain to men and women 4tut of othei nations. The vast majority of those who have come to take advantage o! her hospitality have united their spirits j with hers as well as their fortune^ j These men who speak alien sympa- ! thies are not their spokesmen, but are j the spokesmen of small groups whom j it is high time that the nation should call to a reckoning. The chief thing necessary in America in order that she should let all the wo>ld know that she is prepared to main­ tain her own great position is that the real voice of the nation should sound forth unmistakably and In ma­ jestic volume, in the deep unison of a common, unhesitating national feel­ ing. I do not doubt that upon the first occasion, upon the first opportu­ nity, upon the first definite challenge, that voice will speak forth in tones which no man can doubt and with commands which no man dare gain­ say or resist. "May I not say, while I am speak­ ing of this, that there is another dan­ ger that we should guard against? We should rebuke not only manifes­ tations of racial feeling here in Amer­ ica where there should be none, but also every manifestation of religious and sectarian antagonism. Here is the nation God has builded by our hands. What shall we do with it? Who is there who does not stand ready at all times to act in her behalf in a spirit of devoted and disinterest­ ed patriotism? We are yet only in the youth and first consciousness of our power. The day of our country's life is still but in its fresh morning. Let us lift our eyes to the great tracts of ljfe yet to be conquered in the in­ terests of righteous peaco^^Come, let us renew our allegiance to America, conserve her strength in its purity, make her chief among those who serve mankind, self-reverenced, self- commanded, mistress of all forces of quiet counsel, strong above all others in good will and the might of Invin­ cible justice and right" 1 -;s: BRITISH WOUNDED RETURNING FROM FIRING LINE |A: !v) IS h Japanese Breakfast.
