PRESIDENT WILSON TO CAMPAIGN
FOR his PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM

Washington, d. C.--President Will
son is planning to assume personal
leadership in the fight for a stronger
army and navy. So many reports
have reached him of confusion over the
issue before congress and of the uncer-
taihty of the outcome, that he has de-
termined not only to go before the
country in public address, but to con-
fer further on the subject with leaders
of the senate and house.
Representative Hay and Represent
ative Padgett, chairmen Of the house
military and naval committees, re-
spectively, have informed Mr.. Wilson
that it will be from two weeks to a
month before the committees will be
ready to report any army and navy
appropriation bills. While this work
is going on he proposes to do his ut
most to solidify sentiment among the
people and members of congress in
favor of the plans drawn up by the
war and navy departments.
