ready for their allant serenade of
'j the Democrats Wednesday noon.
General Florence Updegraff of New
York, a long, narrow woman, in a
white shirt waist and In a hurry In
directing preparations, la marshaling
her forces for the silent supplication.
Aiding and abetting the general Is
: Corporal Alma Saase, of New Bruns
' wick. Mo., who looks very much as
though she might be.
How many thousand womm will
take part In the stand-there-and-stare-at-'em
demonstration is not yet known.
But the general, who Is long on upper
lip and short on conversation vouch
safed the remark that there'll be
enough In body to reach from the Jef
ferson hotel to the Coliseum and
enough in spirit to reach from suf
frage headquarters to the November
, election.
Two miles of women, silent for two
r'ours! Think of It. To witness auch
an absence of sound.
5 "Some noiseless aggregation," ven-
t tired a reporter.
- , "Noiseless," ejaculated the general,
"not on your royal male prerogative.
' Talkless doesn't mean noiseless. Why,
. Our color scheme is a shriek.
."Corporal," she added, turning to
. Corporal Saase, "brlns out a uniform
' and let It yell for the" gentlemen."
As a riotous demonstration that out-
. fit Is louder and more prolonged than
' national convention.
AMERICA-NOT
JOKING, SAYS
PRESIDENT
(rnntlnmvl From PK On
eponslbllity are the only days that
count In time, because they are the
only days that Rive a test of quality.
They are (he only days when manhood
and purpose ate tried out, as if by
fir.
Tonr Uves Are laid Ottt.
"I need not tell you young gentle
men that you are not like an ordinary
graduating claps of one of our uni
versities The men in those classes
lotlc forward to the life which they
ars to lead after graduating with a
great many questions in their mind.
Mont of them do not know exactly
what their lives are going to develop
'. Into. Some of them do not know what
occupations they are going to follow.
-AH of them are conjecturing what
wp, be the line of duty and advance
ment and the ultimate goal of success
for them.
"There Is no conjecture for you.
-Tou have enlisted In something that
does not stop when you leave the
academy, for you then only begin to
realise It, which then only begins to
do tinea with the full richness of us
meaning and you can look forward with
absolute certainty to the sort of thins
that you will b obliged to do.
"This has always been true of gradu
ating classes at Wett Point, out the
certainty that some of the older classes
used to look forward to was a very
dull certainty. The old days in the
army, I fancy; were not very interest
ing. Sometimes men. like the present
chief of staff for example, could fill
their lives with really knowing and
understanding the Indians of the west
ern plains, knowing what was going on
inside of their minds, and being able
to be the Intermediary between them
and those who dealt with them by
speaking their sign language, could
enrich their lives.
Possibilities Are Many.
"But the ordinary life of the aver
age officer at a western post cannot
have been very exciting, and I think
with admiration of those dull years
through which officers who had not
a great deal to do Insisted, neverthe
less, upon being efficient and worth
while and keeping their men fit and
read for the duty to which they were
assigned.
"But in your case, there are many
extraordinary possibilities, because,
gentlemen, no man can certainly tell
you what the Immediate, future Is
going to be, either in the history of
this country or in the history of the
world. It is not by accident that the
present great war came to Europe.
Contest Sad to Coma.
""Every element was there and the
contest had to come sooner or later.
And it is not going to be by accident
that the results are worked out, but
by purpose; by the purpose of the
men who are strong enough to have
guiding minds' and indomitable wills
when the time for decUloi and set
tlement comes and the part that the
United States in to play has this dis
tinction in It. that It is to be; In any
event, a disinterested party.
"There Is nothing that the United
States wants that It has to get by
war, but there are a great many
things the United States has to do.
It has to see that its life is not
interfered with by anybody else who
wants something.
Oar Duty to Be Prepared,
"These are days when we are mak
ing preparations. The thing most
commonly discussed over every sort of
table, In every sort of circle, In the
shops and in the streets, Is prepared
ness, and undoubtedly, gentlemen. It
is the present Imperative duty of
America to be prepared. But we want
to know what we are preparing for.
I remember hearing a wise man say
once that the old maxim that every
thing comes to the man who waits
Is all very well, provided he knows
what he is waiting for, and prepared
ness might be a very hazardous thing
If we did not know what we wanted
to do with the tor'Re that W6 mean to
accumulate and to get into fighting
shape.
America Has a Purpose.
"America, fortunately, does know
what she wants to doi with her
force. America came into existence
for a particular reason. When you
look about. upon these beautiful hills
and up this stately stream, and then
let your imagination run over the
whole body of this great country from
which you youngsters are drawn, far
and wide, you remember that while
it had aboriginal Inhabitants, while
there were people living here there
was no civilization which we dis
placed. It was as If in the provi
dence of Ood, a continent had been
kept waiting for a peaceful people
who loved liberty and the rights of
men more than they loved anything
else, to come and set up an unselfish
commonwealth.
United States History Is Strange.
"It is a very extraordinary thing.
Tou are so familiar with American his
tory at any rate, in its general char
acter, I don't accuse you of knowing
the details of it, for. I never found a
youngster who did but you are so
familiar with the general character of
American history that It does not seen j
stsange to you; but It Is a very strange
history.
"There Is none other Use It In thai
whole annals of mankind, of men gath
ering out of every civilised nation of
the world on an unused continent and
building a policy exactly to suit them
selves, not under the domination of
any ruling dynasty or the ambitions
of any royal family, 'doing what they
pleased with their own lives on a free
space of land which God had made rl
with every resource which was neces
sary for the civilisation that ,wav
meant to build up. There is nothing
like it -
All Its Pores Behind Moral Idea,
' "Now, what we are preparing to do
Is to see that nobody mars that, and
that, being safe Itself against Inter
ference from the outside, all of its
force is going to be behind its moral
idea and mankind is going to know
that, when America speaks, she means
what she says. I heard a man say to
another. 'If you wish me to consider
you witty, I must really trouble you
to make a Joke.' We have .a right to
say to the rest of mankind, 'If you
don't want to interfere with us, if you
are disinterested, we must really trou
ble you to give evidence of that fact.'
"We .are not seeking any selfish
end and we want the whole mighty
power of America thrown into that
scale and not Into any other. You
know that the chief thing that is
holding many people back from en
thusiasm for what is called prepar
edness is the fear of militarism. I
want to say a word to you young
gentlemen about, militarism. Tou are
not a militarist because you are mill
tary. Militarism does not consist in
the existence of an army, not even
in the existence of a very great
army. Militarism is a spirit. It is a
point of view. It Is a system. It is
a purpose.
Militarism Impossible Here.
"The purpose of militarism is to
use armies for aggression. The spirit
of militarism is the opposite of the
civilian spirit, the cttlsen spirit. In a
country where militarism prevails,
the military man looks down upon the
civilian, regards him as inferior,
thinks of him as intended for his, the
military man's support and use, and
just so long as America is America,
that spirit and point of view are lm
possible with us. There Is as yet in
this country, so far as I can dis
cover, no taint of the spirit of mili
tarism.
"You young gentlemen are not pre
ferred in promotion because of the fam
Hies you belong to. You are not drawn
Into the academy because you belong
to certain Influential families. You
don't come here with a long tradition
of military pride any of you. You
are picked out from the cltisens of the
I nited States to be that part of the
force of the United States which makes
lift policy safe against interference.
You are the part of American citizens
who say to who would Interfere, 'you
must not and you shall not. But you
are American citizens and the idea I
want to leave with you boys today is:
"No matter whatever comes, first
of all remember that you are citizens
of the United States before you are
officers and you are officers because
you represent in your particular pro
fession what the citizenship of the
United States stands for.
Ton At Citizens First
"There Is no danger of militarism
if you are genuine and I for one do
not doubt that you are. When you be
gin to have the militarist, not the
military spirit that is all right
then I begin to doubt whether you are
Americans or not.
"You know that one thing In which
our forefathers took pride wan this.
that the civil power Is superior to the
military power in the United Slates
Once and again the people of the Unit
ert States have so admired some great
military man as to make him president
of the United States, to become com man
der-ln-chief of all the forces of the
United States; but he was commander
in-chief because he was president not
because he had been trained to arm:

I can teach you nothing of military
nowcr. but I a.m Instructed by the con
stitution to use you for constitutional
and patriotic purposes. And , toat is
the only ubo you care to o pui 10.
That is the only use you ought to care
to bo put to, because, after all. what
is the use in being an American if you
don't know what it is?
You have read a great deal in the
books about the pride of the old
Roman citizen who always felt liku
drawing, himself to his full height
when he said" 'I am a Roman' out as
compared with he pride that must
have risen to his heart, our pride nas
a new distinction, not the distinction
of the mere imperial power of a great
empire, not the distinction or being
masters of the world, but the distinc
tion of carrying certain lights for the
world that the world has never so dis
tinctly seen before, certain lights of
liberty and principle and justice.
W&at Americanism Zs.
"We have drawn our people, as you
know, from all parts of the world and
w have been somewhat disturbed re
cently, gentlemen, because some- of
those, though I believe a very graau
number, whom we have drawn Into
our citizenship, have not taken Into
their hearts the spirit of America anu
have not loved other countries more
than they have loved the country of
thcjir adoption and we have talked a
great deal about Americanism. It
ought to De a matter of pride with us
to know what Americanism really con
sists of. Americanism consists in ut
terly believing In the principles of
America and putting them first as
above any other that might by chance
come into competition with It.
Test IS a Spiritual One.
"And I, for my part, believe that
the American test is a spiritual test.
If a man has to make excuses for what
he has done as an American, I doubt
his Americanism. He ought to know
at every step of his action that the
motive that lies behind what he does
Is a motive which no American need
be ashamed of for a moment. Now,
We ought to put this test to every man
we know. We ought to let it be known
that nobody who does not put America
first can consort with us. But we
ought to set them an example. We
ought to set them the example by
thinking American thoughts, by enter
talnlng American purposes, and those
thoughts and purposes will stand the
test of example anywhere in the world.
for they are intended for the Detter-
ment of mankind.
Must All Stand Together.
"So I have come to say these few
words to you today, gentlemen, for a
double purpose, first of all, to express
my personal good wishes to you in your
graduation and my personal interest in
you and second of all to remind you
how we must all stand together in one
spirit as lovers and servants of Ameri
ca. And that means something more
than lovers and servants merely of the
United States.
"You have heard of the Monios doc
trine, gentlemen. You know that we
are already spiritual partners with
both continents of this hemisphere,
and that America means something
which is bigger than the United States.
and that we stand here with the glori
ous power of this country, ready to
swing it out into the field of action
whenever liberty and independence and
political integrity are threatened any
where in the western hemisphere. And
we are ready nobody has authorized
me to say this, but I am sure cf it
we are ready to join with the other
nations of the world in seeing that the
kind of justice prevails everywhere
that we believe in, so that you are
graduating today, gentlemen, into
new distinction.
Wider World How Opens.
uiory attached to all those men
whose names we love to recount, wb.o
have made the annals of the American
army distinguished. They played the
part they were called upon to play with
honor and with extraordinary success.
I congratulate you not because you will
be better than they, but because you
'ill have a wider world of thought
and conception to play your part in.
"I am an American, but I don't be
lieve that any of us loves a blustering
nationality, a nationality with a chip'
on its shoulder, a nation with its el
bows out and its swagger on. We love
that quiet, self-respecting unconquer
able spirit which does not strike until
it is necessary to strike and then
strikes to conquer. Never, since I was
a youngster, have I been arraid of the
noisy man. I have always been afraid
of the still man. I have always been
afraid of the quiet man.
A Dignified America.
"I had a classmate at college, who
was most dangerous when he was
most affable. When he was maddest,
he seemed to have the sweetest tem
per in the world. Ho would approach
you with a most ingratiating smile
and then you knew that every red
corpuscle in his blood was up and
shouting. If you work things off in
your elbows you do not work tHem
off in your minds, you do not work
them off in your purposes.
"So my conception of America is
a conception of Infinite dignity? along
with quiet, unquestionable power, r
ask you young gentlement to join
with me in that conception and let us
all in our own spheres be soldiers to
gether and realize it."

'GETTES THREATEN
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
WITH "BIG STICK"
Radicals Say Congress Must
Pass Anthony Amendment
Now or. Fight,
By Karl A. Bickel.
St. Louis, Mo.. June 12. (U. P.)
"Enact the 8usan B. Anthony amend
ment before the end of the present
session of congress or fight. Half a
million dollars la available for the
fight."
This is the ultimatum that will be
handed the resolutions committee of
the Democratic national committee by
a delegation of the National Women's
party on Thursday. The woman's
party will not ask that a plank favor
ing suffrage be placed In the Demo
cratic platform. They state that
"favorable mention" by the Democrats
has no attraction for them.
The Anthony amendment to the na
tional constitution puts tha question '
of nationwide equal suffrage up to
the states for approval. In taking ,
this attitude the women's party la ,
favoring "direct action as against
the plan of the National American
Women's Suffrage association, headed
by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who Is
here to ask the resolutions committee

promises on the Anthony amendment, j
If the administration falls to act, 1
the women's party plans to campaign
through the twelve suffrage states in

against the Wilson ticket
As an indication of how seriously
the leaders of the women's party
make this threat, they assert they
have a campaign fund of half a mil
lion dollars, guaranteed by Mrs. O.
H. P. Belmont of New York.
Mrs. Catt is very optimistic of the
chances of a suffrage plank going Into
the Democratic platform. She believes
that it will read similar to the one
in the Republican platform. A tele
