toward the government of our choice,
the government, the president and
the congress, on whom weigh the ter
rible burdens of decision and action
in the issue of peace or war and in
the terrible pursuit of that freedom
which can be maintained, it seems
now, only by war.
There is no nation On earth with
a greater stake in the success of
the allies in this war against Ger
man militarism than the United
States"
In opening his address DR.. John
Grier Hibben, president of Princeton

Il am here tonight as a pacifist. I

price at the present time is war;"

PRESIDENT ORDERS ARMY AND
NAVY TO REACH LIMIT OF
EXECUTIVES POWER.
NEXT MOVE UP TO CONGRESS
Navy Must Enroll Immediately APP
proximately $4,000 Men to Reach
Required Strength-Secretary DAN
iels in Special Call for Men.

Washington, March 27.-President
Wilson took steps to place the nation
on a war footing.
By executive order, he directed that
the navy be recruited without delay to
full authorized strength of $1,000 en-
listed. men. The former authorized
strength was 74,5OO. He took the step
on the recommendation Of Secretary
Daniels under authority granted by
gency." The present actual strength
of the navy is $4,000 men.
Taken in connection with emergency
naval construction already ordered,
this means that the president has exer-
cised the full limit of his legal powers
as commander-in-chief to prepare the
navy FOR war
For the army, the president directed
that two new military departments be
created in the Atlantic coast region.
The task of organizing whatever army
congress may authorize will be divided
into six departmental commanders in
stead of four in the interests of speed
| and efficiency in mobilization.
Following is the executive order,
bringing the navy up to war strength:
by virtue of the authority vested in
the president by the act of congress
approved August 90, 1916, entitled "an
! act making appropriations for the ma
val service for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1917, and for other purposes
1t is hereby directed that the author
lied enlisted strength of the navy be
increased to $1,000 men.
WOODROW WILSON,"
The navy must enroll Immediately
approximately 10000 men to reach the
required strength. Secretary Daniels
supplemented it with personal tele-
grams to newspaper editors all over
! the country urging them to aid the de-
partment in every way in their power
| to obtain the men.
The navy department statement fol-
lows:
"The president last night signed an
executive order directing that the au-
thOrized enlisted strength of the navy
De IuCTedSeu 10 81 ,UUU. he was autnCT-
lied by congress, in case of emergency
to direct such increase in enlistment.
New ships and ships in reserve are be-
ing fully commissioned as rapidly as
possible and the need is imperative for
a larger enlistment to man them.
There has been a net increase of over
$500 in enlistment since congress re-
Gently authorized an increase, but
many more are needed and needed
now.
"Will you not emphasize this need
by giving special prominence Monday
on the first page of your paper to the
presidents order and also by making
an editorial appeal for new recruits
for the navy.
"The navy offers exceptional advan-
tageS to young men of stuff and am
bition to serve in the fsst line for ma
tiOnal defense. In this emergency you
have the opportunity and the privilege
of performing this public service, and
l am confidently appealing to you for
your cordial and helpful cooperation.
