Peace and preparedness advocates alike came in for a raking fire of jest at the winter dinner of the Gridiron club to- night. At the close the preparedness ranks appeared the stronger, but their casualties from verbal shrapnel were al- most a heavy as those of the pacihsts. President Wilson, Vice President Mar shall, members of the cabinet, senators, representatives and men prominent in pub lie life from many parts of the country were among the clubs guests. The chorus of the song introducing the President fol- lows:
 We take our stand back of you, MT.
 Wilson,
 Strength to your arm we give;
 You're the leader of all,
 We respond to your call, We will stand firm with you for the red,
 white and blue; Nc party or faction divides us in twain. We're just plain Americans, proud of
 the name;
 Let the world realize
 Naught can sever our ties, We take our hats off to you.
