ARMS QUESTION

Presidents Determination to Appeal
to Country Restores Issue
in Congress.
TO BOLSTER UP WEAK MEMBERS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.--Presi-
dent Wilson's determination to talk
to the people OF the middle west on
national preparedness has had the
effect OF restoring that issue as the
uppermost subject OF interest and
discussion in congress.
For several weeks preparedness
has been overshadowed by the Mexi-
can problem and international ques-
tions growing out Of the Europeon
war. Now, however, with the presi-
dent about TO turn to the country to
arouse the public to military re-
quirements Of the nation administra-
ton and opposition leaders realize
that lively times are ahead on Capt
tol hill.
Democratic leaders thoroughly In sym
pathy with the presidents views on pre-
paredess aren gratified over the purpose
Of the chief executive TO take the field,
inasmuch as there has been apparent in
congress for some time a tendency to
adopt waiting policy among many
members uncertain regarding the views
Of their constituents on the subject.
The presidents tour. II Is believed will
serve the double purpose OF bringing out
public opinion and stirring up members
of congress.
Chance for Reply.
On the other hand opponents OF prepar-
edness see in the presidents trip an op-
portunity TO further their cause by reply
ing to HIS arguments in the senate and
house.
Uneasiness over the Mexican situation
which stirred congress for more than a
week has greatly abated and probably
will not be revived soon unless notable
developments should occur in Mexico
Administration leaders regard the danger
of being forced into difficulties with Car
ranza averted for the present and even
republicans OF the senate have concluded
not to force the issue Of Intervention TO a
vote at this time.
Senator Borah. one of the foremost be-
levers in the necessity Of military ae-

that was supposed to advance in con-
formation with the general plan tele-
phoned to the regiments on his right
and left and found that they had not
advanced because the wire entangle-
ments in front of them had not been
cut. So this colonel remained in his
trenches. A little later the brigade
commander telephoned to know if the
colonel had advanced. He explained
why he had not-because the regiments
on either side of him could not move,
and if he went forward he would be in
the air and unsupported.
"'You must go forward said the
general. 1t is orders
THE colonel telephoned again to the
regiments beside him and remained in
his trenches. Once more the brigade
commander ordered him forward.
1T is orders, the general said again.
"A third time the colonel was ordered
forward and he had to take his men out
Of the trenches. He took them to the
crest of the hill in front of them, where
they waited all day for the others to
join them, and at nightfall retired to
their trenches. Although this was ac-
complished so skilfully that there was
but single casualty-one corporal
wounded, whom the colonel, himself,
carried back to the trenches on his
shoulders-a great risk had been run
for wasted movement.
Such a performance would be incon-
ceivable under General Foch. He would
have known whether the wire was cut
in front of all the regiments, and the
orders for that regiment to advance
would never have been given unless the
others could have supported it. Gen.
eral Foch makes war formidable thing
for the enemy, but his men know that
he never sacrifices them needlessly."
