ways important, but Their messages IN
war times are OF the utmost import

greater than any in which our country
has ever engaged. We must an read Mr..
Wilson's message and then u there is
anything about it that you want me 20

country has only declared war against
Germany. has taken no action against
the % her three Central Powers. Prob
ably bills will be introduced asking for
complete investigations into the exact
manner In which all the billions Of dol
lars are being spent for war purposes.
Efforts Will also be made 90 have Con-
