AMERICAN ARMY
AND NAVY NOW
READY FOR WAR
President Declares Congress
Work Has Assured
L. S. Victory

Washington, oct, 6.-The work OF
the congressional session adjourning
to-day was praised to-day by Presl-
dent Wilson in statement saying;
"The needs OF the Army and Navy
have been met in way that as
sures the effectiveness of American
arms, and the war making branch of
the government has abundantly
equipped with the powers that were
necessary to make the action of tho
nation effective"
The Sixty-fifth Congress, now ad-
Journing," tho President added, de-
serves the gratitude and apprecia-
tlon of people whose will and pur-
pose L believe it has faithfully ex-
pressed. One cannot examine the
record of it's action without being
impressed by it's completeness, Its
courage and it's full comprehension
OF a great task.
Nation Is Loyal
II believe that it has also IN
equal degree and as far as possible
in the face of war, safeguard the
rights of the people and kept IN
mind the considerations of social
Justice so often obscured in the hasty
readjustments of such a crisis.
1T seems to me that the work of
this remarkable session has not only
been done thoroughly but that It
hos also been done with the utmost
despatch possible in the circum-
stances or consistent with a full con-
sideration of the exceedingly critical
matters dealt with Best of all IT
has left no doubt as to the spirit
and determination of the country
tut has affirmed them as Loyalty
ana as emphatically as our fine SOL
diers will affirm them on the firing
line"

miles were recorded with an aver
age of 25.S miles to the gallon of
gasoline. The short distance traver-
sed on this day was due to the fact
that the official A. A. A. speedometer
was not properly adjusted and the
observer would not allow the car to
proceed without a perfectly working
six hours.
On the fifth day, a leak in the gas
line reduced the gasoline mileage to
21.7 for 461 miles and a severe wind
storm all day kept it to 22.45 for 500
miles on the seventh day. But for
these reverses, the gasoline average
would have been nearly % miles to

CHAPTER XIV.


Juan Garcia proved to be Il good
guide, and he saved the refugees many
miles on their road TO the Rio Grande.
But every farm and every village was
4 menace, and at first they were forced
to make numerous detours. AS the
night grew Older, however, they rode a
straighter course, urging their horses
to the limit. hoping against hope to
reach the border before daylight over
took them. This they might have done
had 1t not been for Father O'Malley
and Dolores. who were unused to the
saddle and unable to maintain the pace
Juan set for them.
About midnight the party stopped on
the crest Of Il fln.y ridge to give their
horses breath and to estimate their
progress. The night was fine and clear;
outlined against the sky were the
stalks Of countless sotOl-plants stand
