WILSON MAKES LAST APPEAL FOR LEAGUE AMENDMENT
LEAGUE VENT
T 0 PRESIDENT
WAS TOUCHING
Washington, Oct. 27.-—President
Wilson speaking to a“group of pro
league republicans at the white house
today declared the “so-called Ameri
¢anism which we hear so much prat
ing about now is spurious and was
invented for~party purposes -only.-
Appealing for ‘the completion of -the
great moral achievement “which he
said the war represented, President
Wilson asserted” "“The’ war has
been fought in vain and our immense
sacrifices thrown away unless we
complete the work we then began.”
There lis ‘only one way to assure the
world of peace and that is by making
it so dangerous to break the peace
that no other nation will have the
audacity to attempt it.”
The president warned his hearers

defeat of Germany or “that Germany
was the only nation thgt'entertained
such schemes or could be moved by
sinister ambitions and long standing
jealousies to attack the very struc

In a formal statement issued. after
they left the White House the mem
bers ‘of the delegation said they were
“deeply touched by the physical ap
pearance of the president who re~i
ceiyed them sitting. He plainly show-;

the tremendous strain-he had been

referred to the soldiers boys and the
mothers of thcs¢ who ‘had fallen in

voicing the profoundest emotions of
his heart and the whole occasion was
* unexpressibly solemn and tender.” _
It was' evident that the Presi

" way impaired,” sstatement continued,
“but the deputation felt it nothing
