HoIlweg. considered defiant, weak
and misleading In his arguments,
swept aside all doubts in the minds Of
International experts that President
Wilson will make forceful demand
upon congress for America to play a
full part in the struggle. That Holl-

and his nation was the general view.
The cabinet and the president was
expected to shape the last of the de-
tails of the presidents war message"
today.
The main thought Of ft-strong, ac-
tive defense Of Americas rfghts-ac-
cordfng to authorities, has been crys-
talized long since.
That President Wilson is rapidly
turning more strongly in favor of
some form Of universal military train
ing is the view Of officials who have
followed events closely.
The president himself has made no
announcement
Military men who know something
of the policy ahead, declare that the
war may be the bitterest the United
States has ever seen and hence they
argue that universal training ought to
be applied-that the system ought
not to be volunteer. depending on en-
thusiasm which may wane later.
The pacifist. element IN congress
will be stamped beneath a patriotic

President Wilson to the last ditch, it
now appears.
The president, according to specula-
tion, will only generally outline the
