provide a system by which every cit

our self-possession. that we had been
thrown off our balance by a war with
which we have nothing to do whose
causes cannot touch us, whose very ex-

friendship and disinterested service

thought of hostility or fearful prep

Have Powerful Navy
"a powerful navy we have always

IN MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
PRESIDENT ANSWERS CHARGE
u. S. is UNPREPARED FOR WAR

Washington, December S.-Presi-
dent Wilson, in his annual address to
Congress today. gave his answer to
those who contend the United States
is unprepared for national defense.
Let there be no misconceptions" he
said. THE country has been misin-
formed. We have not been negligent of
national defense. We are not unmind-
full of the great responsibility resting
upon us. We shall learn and profit
by the lesson of every experiences and
every new circumstance; and what is
needed will be adequately done.
1T Is said in some quarters that we
are not prepared for war" said the
President. what is meant, by being
ready upon brief notice to put ma :
ton In the field, nation OF men
trained to arms? OF course we are not
ready to do that; and we shall never
be in time of peace so long as we re-
tain our present political principles
and institutions. And what is 1t that ii
Is suggested we should be prepared to
do? To defend ourselves against at
tack? We have always found means
to do that. and shall find them when
ever it is necessary without calling
our people away from their necessary
tasks to render compulsory military
service in times of peace.
Clear and Settled Policy
From the first we have had a clear
and settled policy with regard to mil
ltary establishments. We never have
had, and while we retain our present
principles and ideals we never shall
have, large standing army. If asked
Are you ready to defend yourselves
We reply. Most assuredly, to the ut
most; and yet we shall not turn Amer
lea into a military camp. We will not
ask our young men to spend the best
years of their lives making soldiers
of themselves. There is another sort
of energy in us. 1t Will know how to
declare itself and make itself effect
I've should occasion arise. And espe-
cially when half the world is on fire
we shall be careful to make our moral
Insurance against the spread of the
conflagration very definite and certain
and adequate indeed.
Let us remind ourselves, therefore,
of the only thing we can do or will
do. We must depend in every time OF
national peril, in the future as in the
past, not upon a standing army, nor
yet upon reserve army, but upon a
citizenry trained and accustomed to
arms. 1t will be right enough, right

HOPE FOR WOMEN OF FIFTY
Time When She Should Be Phllo-
sophlcal and Prepared for Wise
Old Age.

There are people today asking with
all appearance of sincerity what a
woman of fifty or more can do. Their
combining work in the home, say these
observers, is done. A common sugges-
ton is that they be utilized in poll
tics. This suggestion has its comical
side, Miss Tarbell declares. A per-
son who has nothing to do after fifty
years of life in a business as many
sided and demanding as that of
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in a business as COM
plicated and uncertain as politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the woman's business
Is ended at fifty or sixty Is fantastic
in the extreme. 1t only ends there II
she has been blind to the meaning OF
her own experiences; If she has never
gone below the surface of her task
never seen In it anything but physical
duties; has sensed none Of its init
mate relations to the community, none
Of its obligations toward those who
have left her, pone of those toward
the oncOming generations. II It ends
th re she has failed to realize, too,
the tremendous importance to all
those who belong in her circle or who
touch it of what she makes of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman Of fifty or sixty who has

sound philosophy and serenity which

and spiritual development of the
group to which she belongs. Life at
every one Of its seven stages has Its

fear and struggle characterize early
manhood; establishment, the ques-
ton whether 1t is worth while, fill the

A Wonderful Savings Bank

ingS Bank and Trust Com
pany has recently passed its
10Th milestone, having COM
menced business in 1880.
1t has issued to its deposit
ors a little booklet-which it
will send to anyone asking
therefor until the supply is
misunderstanding forth GER
tain facts connected with this
bank.
The booklet contains a por-
trait of the President, Gov.

Mcfarland and Russell S.

bers of the Board of Directors,
S. A. Fife, Alba A. Pike, R.
w. Hulburd, and D. H. Scrib-

The officials are certainly
able to make a very creditable
showing. Below we give
some of it's claims as set forth
in its booklet:

January I, 1914, the deposits

depositor calling for his mon

Yesterdays Cotton Market.

New York, July 14.-It was an ir-
regular market with no decided trend
either way, but on the whole there
was rather more disposition to sell,
so that although prices early in the
day were slightly higher, a reaction
occurred later. 1t is mainly, however,
a traders affair, although it is true
that to all appearances certain large
exchange place interests were selling
to some extent. The general idea is
that the early planted cotton over
much of the belt is doing very WE'LL
The trouble is with the late planted.
Liverpool continued dull with spot
sales of only 1000 bales. There was
some decrease in the consumption of
American cotton in June. Manches-
ter was still dull and yarns on this
side of the water were quiet. Some
of the room traders sold on today's
weekly weather report. On the whole
consumption for June of only about
p 500 bales, as compared with the
total for May seems significantly
small in view of doleful reports about
trade and curtailment of production
ETC., while the fact is also to be kept
in mind that the June total this yea1
was larger than that of June, 1913.
