Cleveland Ohio, Jan. 29.—President
Wilson, speaking, as he said “sol-
emnly , warned the Nation tonight
that the time may come when he can
not both keep the United States out
of war and maintain its honor, and
he declared that the country must be
prepared to defend itself and prepare
at once.
“America is not afraid of anybody,
he said. “I know I reflect your feel-
ing and the feeling of all our citi-
zens when I say the only thing I am
afraid of it not being ready to per
form my duty; I am afraid of the
danger of shame; I am afraid of the
danger of inadequacy; I am afraid
of the danger of not being able to
express the correct character of this
country with tremendous might and
effectiveness whenever we are called
upon to act in the field of the world’s
affairs.”
The President spoke in Cleveland
tonight with more gravity and more
force than he has shown during any
of his previous addresses on prepared-
ness. He was applauded frequently
and when he spoke of defending the
Nation’s honor the cheering was tre-
mendous. * .
“Let me tell you very solemnly you
can not postpone this thing,” he de-
clared. “I do not know what a single
day may bring forth. I do wish to
leave you with the impression that I
am thinking of some particular dan-
ger. I merely wish to tell you that
we are daily treading amidst intricate
dangers. The dangers that we are
treading amongst us are not of our
own making and not under our con-
trol. I think no man in the United
States knows what a single week, a
single day, a single hour may bring
forth.”
Again and again the President
spoke of the’ Nation's honor. He de-
clared the real man believes his hon-
or is dearer than his life, and a Na-
tion’s honor is dearer than its peace
and comport. He said it had been
diU.ca.i; to keep the United States out
oi v. ar, and he belt he had proved he
Was a man of peace when possible.
For the first time during his pres-
ent tour the President spoke of the
navy and of the coast defenses. The
latter, he said, are good in quality,
but not in quantity. Some people say
that the navy ranks second, he de-
clared, but the experts agree it ranks
fourth. He added it should be in-
creased.
Among the possible sources of dan-
ger Mentioned by the President were
the difficulties growing out of the pro-
tection of Americans abroad and the
obligation of the United States to
maintain the liberties of the people
of the Western Hemisphere.

that Cyclone once succumbed to the
dress suit habit and was the cynosure

the sensation while he was in captivi-
