HOLDS
FIRST MEETING
IN MANY MONTHS

Washington, Nov. 12.-Though
President Wilson conferred today
with his cabinet an hour--the first
time In months--it was positively
stated that the session was not due
to any crisis over the sinking OF the
Italian liner Ancona. He will hold
the meetings every Tuesday and Fri
day hereafter, and they promise to
be OF vital importance.
Because Of the conflicting reports
In the Ancona case, the cabinet did
not take up this question at all to-
day. It was understood that the
meeting was given up chiefly to the
question Of the administration mill
tary preparedness program The pre-
sident, It was said. presented IN out
line Of his plans.
The presidents first message to
congress probably viii deal almost
entirely with the subject Of increased
appropriations for the army and navy.
Meantime. the cabinet has under con-
sideration what steps shall be taken
to raise revenues wherewith to sup
ply the large amounts.
The absence OF Secretary Of Com
merce Redneld was at first thought
to be due to the difficulties with the
president over proposed trade legis-
lation. hut this suggestion was swept
away with the announcement that the
secretary Is in Georgia.

Out our way last night the frogs We're

They were singing, maybe, because
they felt they ought to be singing.
Maybe the frogs use the almanac for

But it was mighty cheering.

The conditions may not seem 10 you to
