WEST POINT, June 13. — In his
address to the graduates of the mili
tary academy today. President Wilson
defined what he meant by the term
"Americanism,” a word which, ha
,«J^aid. will be much used in the coming
campaign.
"Americanism,” he said, “consist*
in believing utterly in American prin
ciples and putting them first above
anything that might by chance come
into competition with it. We ough
to let it be known that anybody wh<
does not put America first cannot con
sort with us. I do not believe any o
us loves blustering nationality with >
chip on its shoulder. We love tha
quiet self respecting spirit whicl
does not strike unless forced to strike
and then strikes to conquer.”
Immediately after the exercise
President Wilson departed for Was!

PARIS. June 12. — The allies could
extend their blockade to pie German
coast In the Baltic and neutralise the
strategic advantages of the Kiel canal
according to Vice-Admiral Degouy, of
the French navy.
The first of the necessary opera
acconptlsb this, he points out,
would be an attack upon the canal by
m-aerial force of 120 to ISO unit: dl
into flotillas of 20 to 80 a
shines each. One of the flot as would
stuck the bridge at Oronthat one the
vladact at Rendaburg. and another the
bridge of Levansau, while three other
flotillas held in reserve would repeat
the attack after an Interval of 24
hours. The first flotillas would re
sume their attack after the time re
quired for Uklog on fresh supplies
and the reserve flotillas would follow
again aft before.
Tblft continuity of attack from the
air upon works known to be vluner
able by reason of the Instability of
the soil in certain places and the In
sufficient reinforcement of certain
bridge heads after the enlargement of
the canal would. Admiral Degouy de
clares, assure obstruction of sufficient
duration; whatever defensive meas
ures the Hermans might take against
these concerted attacks would not pre
vent fruitful results.
While the base from which such air
assaults might be made is only hinted
at by Admiral Degouy, an operation
Bpeedlly executed would, according to ^
his theory, make possible a landing at
isolated points on the Herman edgetj
and its *ufWTcht fort*Mention so a*'!
