Steamers Say That German Cruiser In Atlantic
THOUSANDS CHEER WILSON
AT MEETING IN ST LOUIS
ST. LOUIS, FEB. S.—President
Wilson delivered the greatest of his
preparationist speeches to thousands
mostly of German stock In this city,
and was greeted with tremendous
enthusiasm . when he said that In
ternational relations compelled the
United States to immediately plan
and build the biggest navy in the
world; that a greater cea power
than the United States meant dan
ger to the country's liberties, and
that there must be no power which
could be at any time a menace to
the foreign commerco of the land.
It is possible that the general in
terpretation of the President’s
speech as being directed against
England, may explain why the au
lience overflowed with enthusiasm
tor the Wilson preparations plana.
Wilson himself was obviously gra
tificd by the unexampled reception
which was extended hie remarks
Possibly ho received the finest greet
ing in St. Louie that ho has received
anywhere on his present tour.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.
President Wilson as a politician
can go some himself and in the
home of Anhauser Busch he did
some talking that appealed to the
German voters.
He even intimated that America
might soon be called upon to tackle
the stronfjest naval power, and de
clared that the United States should
have the mightiest navy in tho
world. Ko other navy’s greatness
should b<f allowed to menace the
liberties <* this free country. He iB
fast restoring himself with the pvo
German sentiment.
GARRiSON AT OUTS
WITH THE EXPERTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Peb. 3.—
The bitter attack of Garrison upon
the experts in army matters who op
pose his continental organization
plan iias had the result of Increas
ing the coolness between him and
some of his subordinates. Wood's
denunciation of the continental
plan as ineffective and hopelessly
unsuited to America has been re
garded as a direct affront by Secre
tary Garrison and he is especially
sore upon the former Chief of
Staff.
A new superannuation plan Is
under consideration.

crow. On the advice of the British
representatives they are not talklnt;
for publication, so that for tho pre
’ sent tho mystory is unsolved.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.—
Because a New York dispatch says
that many munition and supply
ships are missing, it is believed that
a German fast cruisor is operating
in the Atlantic. The missing ships
wore first supposed to have been
submarined, but steamers report
having been chewed by a cruiser
and only having escaped under the
cover of darkness and ch.nging
their course at night.
The report has created a sensa
tion . Remarkably enough rumors
to this effect were current when the
Appam arrived.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Two boats
foundering in mid-Atlantic from
some unknown cause is crerting the
general impression thc.t there is a
boat operating against the Allies’*
munition transports. London ad
vices indicate fast cruisers searching
for the marauder.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—While
there may aot be any actual cessa
tion of fighting at any of the thea
ters of war, the censor has permit
ted so little to pass throhgh it ap
pears as if there Is an actual lull in
fighting. As usual during such pe
riods, peace talk Is contained in
dispatches from many of the capi
tals today. They represent nothing
tangible.
LONDON, Feb. 3.—Obrmans con
tinue artillery work on tho west.
The French are again active in the
Vosges; the British bombardment
of the German lines beyond Loos
continues. Airmen report a re-ar
rangement and re-concentration of
German troops looking possibly to
wards a renewed activity north ahd
south. Casualty lists are beihg
published here; the losses were not
serious.

KEYNOTE OF CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Fob. S.—
Brandols' appointment is very dis
tasteful to in any senators and in
stead of confirming him, they are
now investigating. It is very prob
able that he will however be con
firmed notwithstanding the opposi
tion.

tereated In the tour of President
Wilson. it Is differently reported
by different parties. Republicans
speak of it as poor polities at the
best, while preparedness democrhu

FORD AND OTHERS
BLOCK PREPAREDNESS
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—It is now
admitted that Henry Ford will en
deavor to co-operate with other
anti-munitionists in endeavoring to
^overcome the result of President
Wilson’s propnrednesB tour, olthougn
some regard the trip ns so frankly
political that they consider it as
more likely to defeat the prepara
tions intentions of Wilson than
otherwise.
The situation is summed up by
morning papers to the effoct that
Bryan will be selected lo tour the
middle west in order to provent the
wholesome country opinion from
being affected by the munitionisi
doctrines.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Most of the
papers frankly regard Wilson’s pro
parationlst trip throughout the
country as part of the olcction cam
paign. It is for the purposes o:
solidifying his nomination certainty
and to socuro his eloction following
that.
Wilson’s opponent is certain to he
a strong preparations and for this
reason the President has taken the
wind out of such an opponent's
sails even before they are set.
The main purpose of the eam
paign is to overcomo the blt^or at
tacks which have been made upon
Wilson for his pacificist views and
which with tho powerful following
which munitionists had were having
a serious effect.
