PLENTY FOR CONGRESS TO DO
Administration Progrom for Coming
Session Covers a Wide Range
of Important Subjects

washington, Nov 22-President
Wilson will put aside practically all
other public business this week to de-
vote his entire time to completing his
third annual message to Congress,
which he plans to read personally at
a joint meeting of the Senate and
House, December z. He has given in
structions that none except important
engagements be made for him.
The President is working hard to
have the message in the hands of the
public printer before Thanksgiving
Day No attempt is being made to
deal in the document with all the pub
lie questions pressing for solution, for
the President plans to read special
messages to Congress as occasions
arise.
Representative Fitzgerald, chairman
of the House appropriations commit
tee, held a long conference with the
President tonight, and urged him to
include in the message an outline of
methods considered best for raising
revenues to meet the appropriations
deemed certain to be greatly increased
because of the administration nat
tional defense plans.
Although the President may not re-
fer to all of the subjects in his mes
sage at the opening of Congress, the
program which the administration
hopes to see disposed of the coming
session includes:
Strengthening the army in accord
ance with the plans outlined by Secre-
tary Garrison and Secretary Daniels.
A merchant bill.
Rural credits legislation.
Ratification of the Haitian, Colon
bian and Nicaraguan treaties
The bill to give a greater measure
of self government to the Philippines
and promising ultimate independence.
Conservation measures which failed
of final passage in the last session.
Amendment of the antitrust laws
so as to allow the use of common sell
ing agencies abroad by American ex-
porters.
Legislation to protect the American
market against the dumping" of
cheap foreign products following the
European war.
Amendment of the Sherman Anti
Trust Law so as to give the federal
government more power to prosecute
plots to interfere with American COM
merce by blowing up factories and
ships.

EASTERN LINES FEAR BOMBS

Washington, Nov. 24.-Railroad
track walkers and section hands
throughout the East have been turned
into special guards against bomb plots,
high railroad official said. He made
the statement in explaining that plac-
ing guards at the tunnel leading to
the Washington Union station was
only an incident in a widespread plan
to prevent the blowing up of NUM-
ton laden trains in transit
Special attention, it was said, is be-
ing paid to the tunnels and other
points wreckers might attack In the
Baltimore yards of the Baltimore &
Ohio, the Eastern terminal of the sys-
tenn. extra guards are on duty. The
Pennsylvania is taking similar precau-
tions in various big Eastern yards.
The chief possibilities for damage
here are said to lie in the heavy cot
ton shipments from the South and linn
tied munition shipments from Virginia
plants of the Dupont company.

Principal Part of This Years
Document Devoted to the
Country's Defense.
REVENUES ALSO PROMINENT
Cabinet is in Accord With Presidents
Ideas on Both Subjects-Nation
Must be Ready.

Washington, Nov. "a President
Wilson's next annual address to con-
gress, it was learned definitely to-
night, will be devoted primarily to a
discussion of national defense and the
subject of revenues, though it will re-
fer to other legislative questions,
which the president expects congress
to act on during the coming session.
The president has not completed
the message, to which he has devoted
practically all of his time for the last
week. He discussed subjects to be
dealt with at today's cabinet meeting
and unanimity of opinion was reached
by the official family as to what
should be the general character of the
document.
Reasons for Strengthening the army
and navy at this time will be empha-
sized at length by the president. For
defense" will be the keynote of his ar
gument and declaring that the United
States has a humanitarian mission of
peace in the world, he will insist that
under present conditions. when all Eu-
rope is at war, the United States must
be ready to defend it's right to indie
pendent and unmoleSted action.
The continental army plan proposed
ing of 100000 citizen soldiers in the
next three years in annual contingents
of 1884, is to be strongly supported.
The navy plans also will be pointed
to as carefully drawn up after consul
tation with experts and after taking
note of the lessons taught so far by
the European war.
The administration plans to urge a
merchant marine bill in connection
with the need for more auxiliaries for
the navy and the president is expected
to make some mention of this subject
in his massage.
In addition to national defense, the
president will take up conservation
measures, including the water power
and mineral land leasing measures,
which failed of passage at the last
session. He is known to be as much
in favor of these bills as ever.
Two other subjects to be included in
the message are the bills giving a
great degree of f-government to the
Philippines and rural credits legisla-
ton.

The tyranny of the Northern re-

it is necessary to make known the
facts. We went to the Washington
conference in good faith and with the
noble hope of terminating the war and
finding an honorable and lasting
peace.
The Mexican people cannot be con-
Solidated by the CarranZa government
because they will not accept a govern
ment forced upon them by Woodrow
Wilson. CarranZa practically deliver
ed the entire republic into the hands
of the Yankees.

full to Mr.. Wilson for, because he has
relieved me of the obligation of Civ
ing guarantees to foreigners, especial
ly those who were once free citizens
but now are vassals of professor of

dependence of a free people and VIC
lated the sovereignty of Texas, New

soil be crossed by CarranZa troops.
