K McH WILSON INVADES THE NORTHWEST Spends Sunday in Des Moines Where He Attends a Presby- 4* • tsrun Churcti» " • 1 * ' 5 " IOWA CAPITAL MOST ;P fx 5' president Speaks to Great Audience in Auditorium Where He Claim* Treaty Delay Perils World Because of Bolshevism. On Board the President's Special, Deo Moines, la., Sept. 8.--President Wilson left here last uight on the first lap of his journey into the great Northwest. Happy at the reception accorded him here the president had the first breathing spell of his long trip. The only fly in the ointment was the news from Washington that Senators Cummins and Kenyon, Iowa's senators, had Joined the ranks of the extreme reservationlsts. this did not keep , the president from enjoying a comfortable and restful day. He arose late in the morning, went with Mrs. Wilson to the Central Presbyterian church where he heard a sermon by Rev. Frank Chalmers McKeen, one of his students at Princeton, and In the afternoon he took a long motor ride through the lowan capital. Des Moines Extends Self. Des Moines in its welcome to the president extended itself. The streets were crowded with thousands of persons all anxious to do honor to the nation's chief executive. " For the first time in telling of the award of Shantnng to Japan, he said that for this country to recover it instanter for China, we would have to fU$t not only Japan but Prance and Great Britain as well. The president received applause from 7,000 persons who comprised his audience every 54 seconds. This constitutes the most friendly reception on the trip. The president is satisfied with the results he thus far has achieved. He believes that the speech he delivered to the members of the chamber of commerce at St. Louis is the best he yet has made and for this reason he expressed the hope he may be able to address reasonably small audiences Id the future. Aside from the particular features of the treaty there was much interest here In the president's words last night on labor. The president has replied to Samuel Gomper's telegram regarding the threatened strike of the steel workers but the reply has not been made public. "One of the difficulties in our labor situation." said the president, "is that there are some employers: who will not meet their employees face to face and talk with thtm." Among Home Folks. The president was grateful for the respite here. From now until next Sunday when he reaches Seattle, he will be constantly on the go. Although this is a strong Repuhll- Mean county, the president was among "home folks." One of his uncles, the late General William Duane Wilson, a pioneer of Iowa, lived in Des Moines. He was the oldest brother of President Wilson's father. Another thing that the President liked about Iowa is that, besides ralscorn, they raise babies out this way. There are 22 husky youngsters. & white and one black whoae first pannes are Wood row Wilsoa. A Would Foil Reds. A possibility that bolshevism may . 4 qpread in threatening proportions to • the United States, unless the peace treaty is ratified promptly, was suggested in the president's address here. The whole world was waiting un- Sfeeily, he said, while the poison which had wrecked Russia was spreading among peoples who did not yet know what guarantees there were to be for liberty in the new world. Labor and capital In the United JMates. he asserted, could not proceed Intelligently with their settlements, •or could great problems like the railroad situation be solved while the sus- ; jpfose continued. Monroe Doctrine Safe. Mr. Wilson defended the Shantung provision of the treaty and said the league covenant section referring to fhe Monroe doctrine had been inserted to "give the Monroe doctrine right of . ,*ay in the Western hemisphere."- He Upclarcd It would do so. ^ V V The Monroe doctrine provision, he had been objected to as vague s'/%pcause it referred to "such regional s Understandings as the Monroe doc- ' 4|rlne." This language was used, he !"•- tuid. because the other delegates thought It wise to make a specific reference to a policy of one country without leaving the Way open for other najUons to develop similar policies la tfceir own localities. The president last night, as In Kansas City, severely arraigned those who opposed the treaty. He said he had the greatest, respect for the United States senate, but that there were some members of that body who were opposing the treaty for private reasons. The others who were conscientious he described as "Ignorant." Mr. Wilson declared that the issue "was greater than the senate" and that he was "prepared to fight it out In offitfe or out of oflice, to the end." Big Crowd at Kansas City. At Kansas City the president appealed to a great crowd to support the peace treaty as a charter for a new order of world affairs. Making his third speech for the treaty in Missouri to a capacity audience. President Wilson spoke in Convention hall, said to accommodate 20.000. When the president, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, appeared on the platform the crowd, of which each person had a small American flag, arose and cheered for more than two minutes. President Wilson had been cheered as the presidential party paraded through four miles of the city's streets to Convention hall. Mr. Wilson was Introduced by B. A. Parsons, president of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. The special train bearing President Wiison and his party arrived from St. Louis at 9:0-5. The train was held at the outskirts of tfie city for an hour before coming into Union station. Long before the president and his party were met by the reception committee a large crowd gathered on the station plaza where the parade through downtown streets started. Led by the Seventh Regiment band, three companies of troops and a machine gun battalion, the party left Ufiion station in automobiles shortly after the arrival of the train. Speaks Twice at St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 6.--President Wilson left no doubt in the minds of his audience here that he means to obtain the ratification of the peace treaty. He made two addresses, both to capacity crowds and to the first. In referring to the men in the senate opposing the treaty, he said in cold, crisp language: "They are absolutely contemptible quitters if they don't see the game through." His words electr'fied the 1,500 men and women in the roof garden of the Hotel Statler, brought them to their feet, sent them climbing chairs and tables, and precipitated a roar that bad force enough to disturb the calm waters of the Mississippi. Beautiful sunshine combined with a soft breeze and most of the population" of St. Louis had the effect of making the president's second day out of Washington the most enjoyable thus far of the trip. The crowds gave the president and Mrs. Wilwon a great reception and the city was decked In gala attire in honor of the guest. From the railroad station to the Hotel Statler, where the president spent a restful afternoon before appearing at the Coliseum, he was dr'ven through cheering throngs. The people were glad to see him and showed their happiness In scores of ways. Big Crowd at Indianapolis. Indianapolis. Sept. 5.--President Wilson's address in the coliseum of the state fair grounds here was practically a failure because of the size of the crowd on hand to hear him. It was estimated at 12,000 to 15.000 persons and was so huge it was unmanageable. Added to this feature was the unfortunate occurrence which befell Governor Goodrich of Indiana, who was intended to Introduce the president. The governor made the mistake of talking too long and the crowd resented It, causing great con fusion. The president was escorted to the Coliseum at the state fair grounds here by a committee which Included Gov. James P. Goodrich, Mayor Jewett, Indianapolis ; Thomas Taggart, former Gov. Samuel L. Ralslon. and Frnnkiin McCray, president of the Indiana branch of the League to Enforce Peace Thousands of persons. Including many visitors to the state fair, crowded the streets and cheered lustily as th* ident passed. What tho President Said. "I have come upon a very sober errand-- Indeed. I have come to report to you upon the work which the representatives of the United States at tempted to do at the conference of peace on the other side of the sea, bocause I realize, my fellow citizens, that my colleagues and I. in the task we attempted over there, were your servants." Later, taking up article X. he said "You have heard a great deal-about article X of the covenant of the League of Nations. Article X speaks the conscience of the world. Article X Is the article which goes to the heart of this whole bad business, for that article says thai, the members of this league--and that Is intended to be all the great nations of the world--engage to resist and preserv against ail external aggression the territorial Integrity and political In dependence of the nations concerned. SOUTH MKOTtiS Teils Them at Sioux Falls That -Treaty Must v.'V Unchanged; ;life1 RAIN KEEPS CROWD Chief Executive and Mrs. Wilson Honor Mrs. Dletz, Mother of Peace League Official--Children^# West Full of Enthusiasnj|; , Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 9.--President Wilson got iiito the Northwest ill his speaking trip for the peace treaty, his schedule for the day winding np> with a night address at the Sioux Fail* Coliseum. A slow, steady rain which began falling shortly befo$ {toon prevented nirny persons residing In nearby towns from coming to Sioux Falls. Gov. Peter Norbeck presided and Introduced Mr. Wilson. A feature of the program here waft short automobile ride to the Coliseum through the principal streets, roin Sioux Falls the president's oute leads back to the Northwest, the president speaking in St. Pauland Minneapolis.- • *" "Take It or Leave It." Taking notice for the first time during his trip of the proposal of the senate foreigu relations committee to adopt reservations to the league covenant, Mr. Wilson told his hearers that such a step not only was unnecessary but would mean resubmission of the-- treaty to Germany. In the morning address at Omaha he also opposed amendment of the Shantung. provision,, stating,, the United States must take the tr&ity or leave It as It is. At Sioux City, la., where the president's train arrived at 2:5T> p. in.. ^Vllson shook hands with several hundred persons and Joked with the crowd, but did not make a speech. Mrs. Wilson was introduced by the president. Visits Invalid's Home. President Wilson paid a signal honor to Mrs. C. N. Dietz. the mother of Gould Dletz, chairman of the Nebraska branch of the League to Enforce Pence, and C. N. Dietz. She Is an Invalid and was unable to attend the Auditorium where he spoke. The president ordered his automobile stopped at the door, and both he and Mrs. Wilson left the car and entered the Dietz home. The president is the third chief ej«*eutlve to call on Mrs. Dletz in this manner. Her former visitors were President Rdosovelt and President Taft Children Enthusiastic. Real undiluted enthusiasm Is always forthcoming for the president from the kills. They turn cat Mi swarms, and their little sun-browned faces were wreathed in the most welcoming of smiles for him. The little girls are prini and n'ce In their starched dresses and the little boys aiv human bundles of noise. Their mood Is infectious, and the president always responds to their greetings. And it's some thrill for a back-country youngster of thirteen or so to have the president of th« United States reirovc his hat and smile at him. Assails Reservationists. Omaha, Neb., S»-pt. 9.--Discussing for the first time during his speaking tour proposed reservations to the League of Nations. President Wilson replied in an address here to' arguments advanced by those who favor reservations. "A reservation," said the president, "is an assent with a big 'but.' We agree--'but.'" The proposed reservation providing for unconditional withdrawal from membership, said the president, meant that Its sponsors wanted to "sit near the door with their hands on ^thc knob." and. If they saw anything they didn't like, to "scuttle and run." No man. he said, can tell how long It will take the United States senate to do anything, but he assumed that ae» tlon would be taken before the Paris conference adjourns. He said he did not want to ask Germany's assent to interpretations. "We told Germany what the terms meant and said 'sign here,'" said the president. This delighted the audience. "Do you want that method changed?' "No! No!" the audience cried. "Do you want me to ask the Weimar assembly to read the treaty in the words the United States senate thinks should have been written in it?" "No, no!" canu^jt^ response. Mr. Wilson" saRTthere were -Indica tions that the people in Paris were not in good humor and he did not want to ask them again to change the language. He closed with an appeal to--the Idealism of the people. SCRAPS irtoorlng bhoy/liav* toeea made of concrete by ao English Inventor.

Hailed First by Hydroalrplano Dropping Messages--Wears Four 8tars on His/Shoulder, the Fovrth Man Since Washington^; " New York, Sept. 10.--Pershing is home again. Standing on the bridge of the huge Leviathan, itself symbolic of victory over Germany, the commander of the greatest host ever gathered under the Stars and Stripes came slowly up the bay, world famed and hailed as a conquering hero should be. Sad of face, stern and impassive, a splendid figure of a soldier, he might have been thinking, as the familiar landmarks of New York came into view, of the day twenty-seven months ago when he slipped secretly out of the harbor on his way to France to prepare the way for the hosts that were to follow. Then he was only a major general. He caine back today with four stars on his shoulders--the fourth man since Washington to wear them under the American flag. The shores of Staten island, Brooklyn, New Jersey and Manhattan were lined with thousands, whose shouts of greeting came faintly across the waters of the bay to the familiar figure on the bridge. At. the pier were many dignitaries of nation, state and city, and it was there he was welcomed on behalf of the it " Messages dropped by a police, hyd.. uDounl (lie Leviathan at daybreak as it approached the harbor signalized the beginning of the three days' reception to General Pershing by the city of New York. After Ihe first greetings were over General Pershing made this statement to the press: "There isn't anything of consequence to say in circumstances like these. It is overwhelming, overpowering. To say that I am glad to be home Is superfluous. I accept" this in the" name of the brave fellows who came over, and served to the best of their ability, making our success possible." General Pershing stepped ashore at 9:20 o'clock. Waiting for him at the end of the gang plank was Secretary Baker with hands outstretched. Behind Mr. Baker were Senator Warren of Wyoming, General Pershing's father-in-law, and Mrs. Warren, with William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury. In welcoming General Pershing, Secretary Baker said in part: * "The president has directed me to read to you this message: " 'My Dear General Pershing: I am distressed that I cannot greet you in person. It would give me the greatest pleasure to grasp your hand and say to you what Is in my heart and In the hearts of all true Americans as we hall your return to the homeland you have served so gallantly. " 'Notwithstanding my physical absence, may I not, as your commander In chief and as spokesman of our fellow countrymen, bid you an affectionate and enthusiastic welcome, a welcome warmed with the ardor of genuine affection and deep admiration. " 'You have served the country with fine devotion and admirable efficiency In a war forever memorable as the world's triumphant protest against injustice and as its vindication of liberty-- the liberty of peoples and of nations. " 'We are proud of you and of the men you commanded. N$> finer armies ever set their indomitable strength and unconquerable spirit against the forces of wrong. Their glory is the glory of the nation and it is with a thrill of profound pride that we greet you as their leader and commander. " 'You have Just come from the sea and from the care of the men of the navy who made the achievements of our arms on land possible and who so gallantly assisted to clear the skies of their lurking peril. Our hearts go out to them too. " 'It Is delightful to see you home again, well and fit for the fatigues you must endure before we are done with our welcome." Secretary Baker had been generous in his compliments, General Pershing said, as to "my part of the war." He declared, however, that "the victory was only won by the united effort of the nation." "The American army at all times felt," he said, "that it had the resolute and unanimous support of the people at home." - Cm be Relied Upoa. tlrbana,111.--"During Change of liftC ftl addition to its annoying symptoms, I bad an attack of grippe which lasted all winter and loft me in a weakened oondition.
