Complete Program.

A complete program for his swing around the circle in the in terest of preparedness was laid before the president today. It had been mapped out by the White House office force while he was aboard the May flower preparing the addresses he will deliver Scores of invitations for the president to include cities not on his scheduled itinerary had to be refused. At the White House today, it was said however, that his route has been ar ranged so that a brief stop can be made at St. Louis.
 The preparedness issue which has for some time been overshadowed in interest and discussion in congress by the Mexican problem and the inter national situation has again come to the forefront as a result of President Wilson's decision to make a personal appeal to the country in behalf of his program. In consequence, friends and opponents alike of preparedness look for stirring times in congress.
