Army and Navy Officers Asked To
Keep Quiet About War.


Washington. d. President Wilson
directed that all officers Of the Army

refrain from discussing publicly either
the military or political situation In
Europe
The following letter was sent by the
President to Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels:
II write to suggest that you request
and advise all officers Of the service,
whether active or retired, to refrain
from public comment Of any kind upon
the military or political situation on
the other side Of the water would
be obliged If you would let them know
that the request and advice comes
from me. 1t seems to me highly un-
wise and improver that officers Of the
Army and Navy Of the United States
should make any public utterance to
which any color Of political or military
criticism can be given where other
nations are involved.
Cordially and faithfully yours,

daughters. their friends and their
books, striving always toward q
realization of their highest ideals.
When Woodrow Wilson was elevated
from the comparative prominence of
the Governorship Of New Jersey. to
which he had gone from the presidency
of Princeton University, to the super
lative prominence of President Of the
United States he was hailed with ac-
claim as the first President Of the
United States from the South since
the Civil War, and just as the country
soon learned that he was man Of
straightforward, direct habits of think
ing, sincere and simple, it learned that
his wife was the woman one expected
to ind the wife of such man, hold
ing firmly to the love of simple homo
life, the affections Of her children and
the richness Of old friendship.
Mot Spoiled BY Prominenee.
The country learned that Mrs. Wood
row Wilson's head had not been In the
least turned when her husband found
himself the executive head of the
nation. This was shown as soon as
she entered the White House by the
simple clothes which she and her
daughters wore. by their indifference
to the embroidery Of social life at the
White House.

into extravagant entertaining. The
family avoided the state function

White House Happy Home.
And yet the White House did not
become sombre place, where all
gayety and natural happiness was
scrutinized suspiciously just because
It was gayety. The Wilson girls rode
horseback and played tennis and
danced-as often as not in little in
formal dances at home in which
mother and father looked on and
wondered If the lightness Of their own
feet had gone with the passing of
years.
Friends came and went from the
White House, and the hearth was ever
warm with kindly feeling. Mrs Viii
son and her daughters took an in
telligent interest in life boyend their
home. and perhaps one of the most
Characteristic things which the First
Lady of the Land did after her hus-
band became the President of the
United States was when she and her
daughters bprdened automobiles with
good things last Christmas and went
direct to the homes Of poor folks in
