Bill.

Washington, Oct. %. = President
Wilson had conference today with
Senator John ". Kern, of Indiana,
majority leader Of the Senate, on pre-
paredness. Early next week he will
have his second conference with
Chairman James Hay, of the House
Committee on Military Affairs. The
object of these two important inter-
views is to arrange for party caucuses
in both the Senate and House at which
the Administrations national-defense
plan will he adopted as q Democratic
policy.
The plan for an adequate navy and
a measure of increase in the army
being backed by the President and
his Cabinet is to be clystallized into
an administration bill. "king Cauc-
us" will be invoked to tie the hands
of the opposition within the party. To
those who are supporting his pro-
gram. the President has outlined the
methods by which he expects to put
his legislation through Congress IN
the face of determined opposition.
The President realizes the strength
of the slittle-navy" men and the
small-army advocates in his own
party. 1t is his purpose to neutralizr
that opposition by appealing to then
patriotism to country, their loyalty to
his leadership, and then place the seal
of the caucus on the bill and force i
through.
The will of the caucus in both nous
',s is supreme. and the President has
.been informed by his !ieutenants tina
