In Forceful Plea at Cleveland, President Pres-ident Wilson Says No Man Knows What Single Day May Bring Forth to the Country. Cleveland, O. President Wilson, speaking as he said, "solemnly," warned the nation Saturday night that the time may come when he can not bothl keep the United States out of war and maintain its honor, and declared that the country must be prepared to defend itself and be prepared pre-pared at once. "America is not afraid of anybody," he said. "I know I reflect your feeling feel-ing and the feeling of all our citizens when I say that the only thing I am afraid of is not being ready to perform per-form my duty. I am afraid of the dinger of shame. I am afraid of the danger of inadequacy. I am afraid of . the danger of not being able to express ex-press 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 . with more gravity and force than he has shown during any of his previous addresses on preparedness. Again and again the president spoke of the nation's honor. He declared de-clared the real man believes his honor is dearer than his life, and a nation's honor is dearer than its peace and comfort. He said it had been difficult to keep the United ! States out of the war and he felt he . had proved he was a man of peace when possible. For the first time during his pres-. pres-. ent tour the president spoke of the navy and the coast defenses. The latter, he said, are good in quality, but not in quantity. |
