itself almost entirely at the coming
session to legislation for the vigorous
prosecution of the war. He is expect
ed to tell congress SO in his opening
address, which will be delivered in the
hall of the house at 1890 O'Clock Tues

the joint session at that hour.
The President has asked all the cab
met members to present memoranda
on possible legislation which they
consider vitally necessary for the sue
cessful prosecution of the war, and It
is expected the President will outline
their recommendations with his own
in his address, rather fully.
At informal conferences among con-
gressmen today the probable legisla.
tive program was discussed. The us
ual appropriation bills, some already

lation. including new bond authorize
tiOns and revenue measures, and trans
portation and other domestic problems

months.

U-Boat Menace Makes Trip 0uer
More Fascinating; Horner Says

The probability of being attacked by
German submarines makes the trip
across the Atlantic the more fascinat-

boy now "ovsr there" in letter to his
mother, Mrs. s. l. Horner, of near
Campbellstcwn.
Horner, who is serving in G com
pany,a end regiment of United States
engineers. tells his feelings while on
the submarine.ridden ocean. ~
THE uncertainty of the voyage and
the probability of attack, made it very
fascinating he says. When the
ships reach the war zone, one can't
help from thinking of the many per-
sons who have been murdered by the
Germans. One sees the many victims

really small and helpless he is. How
much he is dependent on the Guiding

much from infancy. So it is all great
experience for anyone"
Horner also tells Of his location
near an aviation camp. He tells Of an
air battle between several French
planes and German planes.

Kaiser's Getting it
Through Thick Head
That We Are to Win
THOMAS r. MARSHALL
r. MARS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall interprets Germanys ef-
forts to make a separate peace with
Russia as added evidence that the
kaiser realizes he faces ultimate de-
feat.
Il think it shows" said the vice
president today, that the kaiser is
getting it through his thick head that
we are going to win this war"
The vice president declared his be-
lief that the war will be worth what
it costs if only in uniting American
citizens.
THE situation is clearing up rapidly
and nicely" he said "The war will be
worth every cent it costs. When it is
over we will have real American cit
izenship and will hear no more talk of
the fatherland or step-fatherland. We
will be real Americans"

Story of Daughter
of Car Discredited

LONDON, Dec. 1.--Inquiries Of mem
bers of the Russian colony in London
show that nothing Is known OF the re-
port published in the Morning Post
that the Grand Duchess Tatiana,
second daughter OF the deposed en-
peror of Russia, has come to England.
The story is generally discredited
The previous report that the grand
duchess had escaped from Siberia and
gone to the United States is doubted
by Madame Olga Novikoff, Russian
political writer who says in the Post
that the public school beware Of can
ards now coming from Russia. In
reference to the alleged sham mar
riage of the grand duchess, Madame
Novikoff says the only son of Count
Fredericks was killed in the war
few months ago and consequently the
could not have taken place.
