Ottawa. ont, Feb j.. Sanction for AN
additional war appropriation of 500, COCOON
and other measures for raising money
for the needs of the Don'inion's military

speech.
Already the government has borrowed
$4,000 900 to meet war expenditures but
these, said Sir Thomas, have been
mounting rapidly to enormous figures.

January last, Cauada's war expenditures
for 10000 troops had BEEN SloS.opoHoo, said
the minister, and now, with 1000 more
men enlisted and 5oooN the total au-

$3.50 90 900 for operations during the com
ing year.

Wilson to speak before them. MT. Wilson plans two trips next week, one to Bal timore Monday to deliver an address and another to Princeton Tuesday to vote in the New Jersey democratic primaries.
 It was indicated tonight that con tinued reference by Charles E. Hughes the republican nominee, to the settle ment by the president of the recently ! threatened railroad strike. has led MT Wilson to determine to devote much of his attention in his forthcoming speeches to this subject. He is ex- pected to outline his position on this subject Saturday when he speaks tC more than 500 business men who art expected to make a pilgrimage tt ! Shadow Lawn. Officials said he plan. to reiterate his belief that society has sanctioned the eight-hour day, and tC l point to his program of Legislation | recommended to congress with tho | possible method of avoiding railroad | strikes in the future.
 President Wilson also plans to attacl
 the republicans for bringing section
