WILSON'S MESSAGE VIII.
URGE DErENSE.
President viii Also Discuss Rev
enus, Rural Credits and
Greatar Freedom for
Eilipinos.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-
President Wilson's next annual
address to Congress, it was
learned definitely tonight, will
be devoted primarily to discus
sion of national defense and the
subject of revenues, though it will
refer to other Legislative questions
which the President expects Con-
gress to act on during the coming
session.
The President has not complot-
ed the message, to which he has
devoted virtually all of his time
for the last week.
. He discussed subjects to be
dealt with at today's Cabinet
meeting and unanimity Of opin-
ion was reached by the official
family as to what should be the
general character of the docu-
ment.
Reasons for strengthening the
army and navy at this time will
be- emphasized at length by the
President. For defense will
be the keynote of his argument,
and, declaring that the United
States has humanitarian mission
.of peace in the world, he will in
sist that under present conditions
when all Europe is at war, the
United States must be ready to
defend it's right to Independent
and unmolested action
The continental army plan pro-
posed by Secretary Garrison for
th. training of 400, 900 citizen SOL
liers in the next three years in
annual contingcnts OF l33.0oO is to
he strongly supported.
In his last annual message to
Congress. in which he opposed
large additional expenditures in
the army and navy, the President
declared it was proper that young
men should be given an opportunl-
~ to learn to be soldiers in such
times as they can command a lit
tie freedom. He will repeat this
idea this year, and express the
opinion that the plans submitted
by the Army General Staff call
for standing force larger than
the country wants.
The navy plans also will be
pointed to as carefully drawn up
after consultation with experts
and after taking note Of the les
sons taught so far by the Euro
pean war. The necessity OF pro-
viding men, munitions and equip
nent will be declared as neces-
sary as the building of warships.
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 message.
In addition to national defense,
the President will take up conser-
vation 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 includ-
ed in the message are the bills
giving great degree ofself-gov-
ernment to the PHILIPPINES and
rural credits Legislation.

The Kansas and Oklahoma dele
cations, thinking they were
strong enough to run the conven-
tion, wanted to vote to locate the
road Monday, but they were de-

The attempt by Republicans to
discredit State Auditor John r.
Gordon upon a charge Of illegally
drawing a warrant, upon the
state treasury. fell flat Tuesday
when a jury Of twelve men, six Of
whom were Republicans, returned
a verdict Of not guilty. Mr.. Cor
don had drawn a warrant to pay
his expenses in attending con-
vention of State Auditors at Salt
Lake City, and in so doing was
following well established pre-
cedent. Never in the history Of
the state have the Republicans
been in such desperate straits
for grounds upon which to criti-
cize the Democratic administration
and the fact that they find it
necessary to resort to charges as
ridiculous as those made against
Mr.. Gordon is the best compliment
which they can pay the Democrat
ic party. Ever the old case hard
ened Globe Democrat had not the
nerve to back UP this sort Of thing

against Mr.. Gordon.

One of the officials of the company returned to Boston Wednesday with plans and estimates for a factory building to be erected on the site of the Pine Tree
 Worsted company, which was destroy ed by fire some years ago. The build ing will be 150 feet long and is to bn ready for occupancy by the first of September if the deal is closed and work begun immediately as is expected.
 The local committee has been work ing with the officials of this company for some weeks past and has pointed out the advantages offered by Putnam. The concern manufactures ladies' waists and has a factory id Boston employing T5 hands and another in Philadelphia employing a like num- ber- It is for the purpose of consoh- dation and getting a. location favorable to labor conditions that has brought about the desire to seek a new loca- tion. The concern is not asking any thing of the citizens of Putnam except their good will When a start is made, skilled help will be brought from the old establishments and local people will be given an opportunity to learn the requirements in various departments of the industry so that not only will the concern add new families to the city but 1t will seek to give employment to an Al rating in the commercial agen- cies and is a reliable, prosperous and growing business of some eight years experience in the market.
