PRESET WILSON READS HIS
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS ON
U. S. NATIONAL DEFENSE
tContinued form Pag* 1 1
president “What Is meant by being
prepared ? If it means that we are
pot ready upon brief notice to put
a nation iu the field, a nation of
jneti trained to arms, of course wo
an* not ready to do that; vl we
shall never be in time or peace
so long at we retain our present po
litical principles and institutions And
■what i« It that ta suggested we
should be prepared to do? To defend
ourselves against attack? We have
always found means to do that, and
■hall find them whenever it is neces
sary without calling our people away
from their necessary tasks to render
compulsory military service In times
of peace.
From tho Fir*t. »
From the first we Imv* had a clear
and settled policy with regard to tit - I
ltary eatsMlehment*. We never have j
had. and while we retain our present I
principles and ideals we never shall
have, a large standing army. If asked ,
‘Are you realty to defend yoursel. e T
we reply, to the ut- |
i- • we shall not turn
America into a military camp. We will j
not aek our young men to spend the ,
beat years of their live* making aid- I
diets of themselves. There la another
(tort of energy in us. It will know how
to declare itself and make itself ef
fective should occasion arise And es
pecially when half the world is on i
fire we ahull l>e cart ful to make our
moral insurance against the spread of
the conflagration very definite and
definite and certain and adequate in
deed.
Th* Only Thing.
"Let us remind ourselves, therefore,
of the only thing we can do or will do
tVe must depend in every time of na
ttonal peril, In the future as in the
past, not upon a standing army, nor
yet upon a reserve army, but upon a
citieenry trained and accustomed to
arms. It will be right enough, right

ciiatomrd principle* and practices, to
provide a system by which every cit
izen who will volunteer for the train
ing may be made familiar with the
lino of modern arms, the rudiments of
drill and maneuver, anil the main
tenunce and sanitation of camps. We
should encourage such training and
make it a means of discipline which
our young men will learn to value. It
is right that we should provide It not
only, taut that we should make it its
attractive as possible, and so induce
our young men to undergo It at such
times as they can command a little
freedom and can seek the physienj
development they need, for mere
health's sake, if for nothing more.
Every means by which such things
can be stimulated is legitimate, and
such a method smacks of true Amer
i lean ideas.
The National Guard.
"It Is righl, too, that the National
Guard of the States should be de
veloped and strengthened by every
means which is not inconsistent with
our obligations to our own people or
with the established policy of our
government. And this, also, not be
cause ih*> time or occasion specially
calls for sudi measures, but because
ii should be our constant policy to
make these provisions for our rational
peace and safely.
A Reversal.
"More than this entries with it a
reversal of the whole history and
character of our policy. More than this,
proposed at this time, permit me to
say, would mean merely that we had
lost our self-possession, that we hud
been thrown off our balance by a war
with which we have nothing to do,
whose causes cannot touch us. whose
very existence affords us opportuni
ties of friendship and disinterested
nervier which should make us asham
ed of any thought of hostility or care
ful preparation for trouble. This Is as
suredly the opportunity for which a
people and a government like ours
were raised up, the oportuntty
not only to speak but actually to em

cord which is based on justice and
fair and generous dealing.
A Powerful Navy.
“A powerful navy we have always
regarded as our proper and natural
means of defense; and It has always
been of defense that we have thought,
never of aggression or of conquest.
Hut who shall tell us now what sort
of navy to buildT We shall take leave
to he strong upon the seas, In the fu
ture as In the past; and there will bo
no thought of offense or of provoca
tion in that. Our ships are our natu
ral bulwarks. When will the exports
tell us Just what kind we should con
struct—and when will they be right
for ten years together, if the relative
efficiency of craft of different kinds
and uses continues to change as we
have seen it change under our very
eyes in these last few months?
It Is Not New.
'But T turn away from the subject.
It Is not new. There Is no new need
to discuss It. Wo shall not alter our
attitude toward It. because some
amongst us are nervous and excited.
We shall easily and sensibly agree
upon a policy of defense. The ques
tion has not changed its aspects be
cause the times are not normal. Our
policy will not he for an occasion. It
will be conceived as a permanent and
settled thing, which we will pursue at
all seasons, without haste and and
after a fashion perfectly consistent
with the peace of the world, the abid
ing friendship of states, and the un
hampered freedom of all with whom
we deni. I.et there be no misconcep
tion. The country has been misinform
ed. We have not been negligent of
national drrfense. We are not un
mindful of the great responsibility
resting upon us. We shall learn and
profit by the lesson of every exper
ience and every new circumstance;
and what is needed will be adequate
ly done.”
Peace in Europe.
To peace In Europe the president
referred briefly. "We are the cham
pions of peace and of concord." he
said," he said. "And we should be
very Jealous of this distinction which
IHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
we have sought to earn. Just now we
should be particularly jealous of It
because it is our dearest present hope
that this character and reputation
may preserltly, in God’s providence,
bring us an opportunity such as has
not been vouchsafed to any nation, the
opportunity to counsel and obtain peacar
in the world and reconciliation and a
healing settlement of many a matter
that has cooled and interrupted the
friendship of nations. This is the time
above all others when we should wish
and resolve to keep our strength by
self-possession, our influence by pre
serving our ancient principles of
action.”
French Casualties
Pari*. The French war office does
not Issue lists of war casualties. A
correspondent, by inquiry in various
quarters, estimates the French dead
up to November 10 at something un
der 100,000 men. The number of
wounded and sick being cared for in
French hospitals November 19 appears
to have been about 400,000. The Swiss
government’s bureau for the exchange
of prisoners has the names of 90,000
French prisoners In Germany. These
figures added put the total losses of
the French army at about 690,000 men.
The French estimate the number of
Germans killed in battle on this fron
tier as considerably exceeding 100,000,
because German tactics have been
more continually os the offensive.
Ttw French military administration
does not share in the popular view
that the German losses have been
enormously in excess of those of the
French. Neither is credence given to
reports of bad provisioning of the Ger
man army and of soldiers of the fam
ished and driven by overwork to ex
haustion. French commanders find
German prisoners defiant and confi
dent and there is no indication of
starvation except where troops have
been cut off from the main bodies.
