FOUNTAIN-PEN WILSON ON THE STUMP.

FLOURISHING THE WOODEN SWORD.

'THERE'S AS MUCH FIGHT IN AMERICA AS IN ANY-NATION."

BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Oct. 7, 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, .Oct. 6. . President Wilson's Omaha "speech is interpreted as a; warning to Germany that if ruthless submarining is resumed with losses lof American lives America will fight, but that she will not fight ov.er tihe questions of pro-perty"-interests, involved in America's

' blockade and' mail seizure controversies with the Allies. There is known to be some uneasiness at Washington over the possibility that Germany thinks America is bluffing over the submarine position, and possibly also thinks that.if the German Government could make it" apparent^ that the, German nation restlessly demands a re--newal of submarinirig, the United States would content itself with further Note writing.

President Wilson desires to remove . this impression in as public a manner as possible, hence his Omaha declaration that "there is as much fight in America as m any nation in the world." The speech is also interpreted as meaning that if President Wilson is reelected he will "do everything possible to bring America intio formal alliance with European Powers to prevent future wars by combining to force bel-ligerentsto-...arbitrate on their differ- / ences. This is believed by many leading Americans to constitute the greatest hope /of the world's peace, with the United States and the British Empire 00-operating in the most intimate manner. \ \
