PREPARDNESS
Of AMERICA
Tells Naval Advisory Board
Whole Nation Is Convinced.
Says Adequate Measures
Would Not Be for War.
President Makes Plea for United
Effort Daniels Asks Ex
perts for Advice Concerning
Research and Experiment.
President Wilson today came
out flat-footedly for military and
naval preparedness that wilt en
able this country to maintain its
independence and the respect of
the world.
His utterances, regarded as
more significant than anything he
has said since the beginning of
the European war, were addresseu
to the members of the new Naval
Advisory Board, which met here
today for the first time.
Declaring that the spirit of this
country was- for peace, but that
the nation knew it must command
the respect of the world, the Presi
dent declared that the nation muSt
be prepared, "not for war, but for
defense, and very adequately pre
pared." WHOLE NATION CONVINCED.
With thla purpose In mind, ho said,
the Government had summoned to Its
nld the bent brains of the country to
study the needs of defense.
Ho said:
"There Is very little that I csn say to
you except to Rive you a. very cordial
welcome and to express my very great
pleasure In thli association of laymen
with the Government. Rut I did want
to say this:
"I think the whole nation Is con
vinced that we ought to bo prepared,
not for war, but for defense, and very
mlenuately prepared, and that the prep
aration for defense Is not merely a
technical matter, It Is not a matter that
the army and navy can take care of,
but a matter In which we must have
the co-operatinn of the best brains and
knowledge of the country outsldo the
official service of the Government as
well as Inside. For my part, I feel
that It Is only In the spirit of n true
democracy that we get together to lend
each other voluntary aid. tho sort of
nld that comes from Interest, from a.
know ledge of the varied circumstances
that are Involved In handling n nation.
A Serious Purpoue.
"I want you to feel, those of you who
nre coming to tho assistance of the pro
fessional officers of the Government,
thit we have a very serious purpose,
that we have not asked you to associate
yourself with us except for a very defi
nite and practical purpose, to get you
to give us your best Independent thought
as to how uc ought to make ready for
any duty that may fall upon the na
tion. "I do not have to cxnmmtl It tn vnm
ou know as well as 1 do the spirit of
America. The spirit of America la
one of peace, but one of Independence.
"It Is a spirit that Is profoundly con
cerned with peace, because It can ex
press Itself best only In peace. It Is
the spirit of peace and good will and of
human freedom, hut It Is also tho spirit
of a nation that Is self-conscious, that
knows and loves Us mission In the

frnge Is a matter to be settled by the
States ami not bv the Nntlonal Gov

The President authorized the follow

"1 Intend to vote for woman suffrage

the time has come to extend that privi
lege and responsibility to the women of
the State; hut I shall vote, not as the
leader of my party In the nation, but

I

Arguments were started before the
District Court of Appeals today In the
case of the Metropolitan Club bar.
the license for which was declared
legal by the Police Court when the
District officials sought to have the
peimlt revoked on the ground that
the club property was In n residence
and not a business district.
The appeal was taken by the Dis
trict Corporation Counsel's oftlce, and
F. H. Stephens, Assistant Corporation
Counsel, made the opening argument
today. Tho Metropolitan Club Is rep
resented by Clarence Ft. Wilson, for
mer District Attorney.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Steph
ens argued that the District excise law
was passed by Congress, nnd, there
fore, reviewable by the courts. He de
clared that the construction placed on
the law with reference to bars In resi
dence districts by the Kxclse Board was
in error.
Attorney Wilson endeavored to show
that the Kxclse Hoard was a branch
of the District government, nnd as such
another branch of the same government
could not appear as prosecuting It. He
argued that the Metropolitan Club had
Proceeded In a regular manner to pro
cure the license for Its bar, and thnt
the conduct of Its business had here
tofore never been assailed. He declared
that the present case presented two de
partments of the city government ap
pearing as opposltes, and held that the
Police Court prosecution, which up
held the authority of the excise Hoard,
should he sustained.
