THE PRESIDENT
I worst enemies our country has.
j It is high time that they bo called
' upon for a reckoning. America is
] a free country with people of all
j creeds and political faiths, and !
they are entitled to enjoy the full
| liberties of American, citizens, but |
there have been voices ii-ised, by <
some who have Drofessed to be Am
ericans, -who spoke with words of '
sympathy toward aliens. I am glad,'
however, that th«rso voices are the
spokesmen of only Bmall groups,
and the nation should not rebuke
them."
In speaking of the matter of de
fense, Mr. Wilson stated that it
was not merely a question of build- |
lav battleships and cruisers and
submarines, but also sufficient mem
of proper quality to man such ves
sels as we might build. He furth
er stated that we might feel our
selves justified in preparing our
1 selves tu order to vindicate our
right to Independent and unmolest
ed action by maiting the force with
in the U.nited States ready for thj
assertion of such a right, should we
be called upon to do so.
In closing he stated that in all
confidence he t-elieved that never j
again would America take another |
foo* of territory by conquest.
The greatest attention was I
shown to Mr. Wilson during his en
tire speech, and at its termination, j
he was greeted with tremendous
Ich—ra.

nc'o'Uuitions, arrived in this city
last evening, and ux>on being in

nied emphatically that he was hecro

MINING OK PRINCE \VM. SOUND
The producing copper properties
>n Prince William Sound, Alaska,
ippear to have beeu only slightly
iffected by the confusion ia the
,'loanclal and copper markets re
rnlting from the European war. An
ncreased quantity of opper ore
,vas mined laBt year, but the aver
ige grade of the ore mined was
nueh lower than in the preceding
rear. The value of the metals re
.'overed from these copper ores in
1914 was also less than in 1913.
This decrease was due largely to
he lower grade of the ore mined,
llthougn the lower price received
'or the copper content of the ores
:ontributed sl'ghlly to the decline
in the total value of production.
The productive mines of the
Prince William Sound region in
L914 Included two copper mines and
*ight gold mines.
