WILSON SAYS HYPHEN
DANKER IS OVER
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.—Today
Wilson .made -what Is considered
the ablest of his preparatlonist ad
dresses since he started out fro®
Washington. He declared that the
hyphenated danger was over, since
all recp$iilzed the intention of the
United states to treat all belliger
ents with perfect fairness and fnii
regard for the rights of nations as
established ,t>y international law.
This is in answer to some bitter
criticism, due possibly to the
strong German vote in this center.
Wilson moreover denied any kind
of connection between bis admi
nistration plans and that of the fmu
Oitionists. It did not begin with
the munitlonlsts ideas of ariqlpg,:
nor had it anything in common
with it.
'Wilson declared that he favpred
government ownership of munition
plants, and he believed that it couUT
he brought to the same degree pf
perfection that had been reached
in private firms and it .would eilm*
nate any possible war agitation
which might be suspected by some,
as he thought wrongly, to begin
with those private Industries.
■Wilson said that the prepara
tions plans of his administration
were only reasonable precautions
for tho protection of the country
and ware not inspired by any spirit
of ag^resfioa ^whatever.
The speech was very well re
ceived.

Rouse at Representatives.
TJhe mgln .features of the new
shipping bill a^e identical with that
of the preceding one introduced apd
defeated last session 'through th^.
greet SlUbuater of .the 80nate. it j
l^as however in Jhapy jsays been j
revised to suit some suggestions
which grew out of the debates on
the last hill
The capital is greatly interested
in Wilson's topr. Jt Is admitted *
that his speech in Milwaukee was i
the best so far delivered. *
Therein the President answered
the charges that the preparations^
plans of the government began with
the munttlonists.
Wilson denies that the policy of
the administration has been adopted
on account of the wishes of tho ran
nttionists, but {t has been forced
upon the government by develop
ments arising out of .the European
war.
The speech was a departure from
his usual cool and rather high flown
generalisations, the severity of the
criticisms of ,both sides apparently
getting under WUson and causing a
marked asperity In his address.
In many ways his Milwaukee!
speech .la considered the ablest so
far given since the departure from
I Washington.
The reception In Milwaukee was
■ however lees enthusiastic than in
other centers.

Everyone talks peace among the
European neutral countries and Bay
what a good thing it would be It the
horrors of war wore a thing of th.y
past, but they are like the American
munitionists, making what money
they can and some of the moat
powerful business men are making
so much money that while saying
they woujd be glad that peace wouiu
come, they ,are praying in then,

tinue.
This Fordlte says that this is the
most effective bar to poace at this
time. The neutrals profltting by
the war will not make any real et
fort to bring the belligerents to
gether, and whllo affecting to sup
port the movement of pacificists
they silently block the wor,k at
evory opportunity. fie thinks that it
peace comes it will come from acts
of the belligerents themselves. He
refused to discuss the war in itself.
