PREPARATIONS OF ARMY
 AND NAVY IN FULL SWING
More Guardsnen Called Cut-Re- cruiting Stations Show Big Gains.

Washington, April 2.-Army and navy preparations were believed by officials tonight to have reached a stage guaranteeing against all imme- diate defense needs and insuring that the more sweeping steps congress is expected to authorize can be carried out promptly.
 During the day more national guardsmen were called out into the federal service for police duty, mak- ing a total of more than 60,000 of the state troops now assigned to guard against internal disorders. The war department also announced that in order not to handicap government con- struction work, all guardsrnen who are government employees. or employees of private plants doing government work will be mustered out.
 The guard organizations called out today are:
 Vermone-First Infantry.
 Virginia-Fourth Infantry, First and Second Coast Artillery, Battery D. Field Artillery.
 West Virginia-Second Infantry.
 Connecticut-Second and Fourth companies, Coast Artillery.
 Returns today from recruiting sta tions showed big gains in the number of men accepted by the army and navy. During March the gain in the army was 6.723 and while declining to go into details. war department ofn-

 Realizing that it would be hours be- fore he could speak, the president freshened up on the golf links until noon- He received frequent bulletins on the progress of the organization of the house and expressed pleasure when told that Speaker Clark had been reelected. Although it was the president5s idea at first to wait until o'clock on the house, and to post pone his address until. tomorrow if preparations were not completed by that time. he changed his mind as the day wore on. an determined to go to tho capitol whenever the house was ready. Late in the afternoon Demo- cratic Leader Kitchin conferred with the White House by telephone and fixed the hour at o'clock.
 The contents of the message were more closely guarded than ever be- fore. Not even members of the cabi- net were shown the text, although they knew in a general way what the pres ident planned to say. MT. Wilson read the proof of the address himself.
 Throughout the day members of the senate went to the White House for information but were given no details The president saw no callers but dur ing the afternoon he went to the state war and navy building to see Secre- tary Daniels and Secretary Lansing.

 Troops have been moved to Barce- Iona and the northern mining section, where a large labor element exists, but the only serious disorder reported was at Valadolid. where a clash between worhmeu and gendarmerie led to the injury of three guardsmen.
 Madrid Remained Calm.
 The capital remained calm but ex- pectant, apparently believing that the events in Russia might lead to some thing similar here. There is no doubt that the Russian movement and the republican regime in nearby Portugal has stirred feeling in Spain along similar lines. It is also asserted that German infiuence figured in stirring up discord so as to keep Spain fully occupied with home affairs
