$4,000 Camp Meade Troops
to Parade Before Presi-

START ON LIBERTY
LOAN CAMPAIGN
Important Uttcrance Expected Satur-
day from Mr. Wilson on the Recent
Developments in War-Troops to
March 20 Miles.

March 20 Miles.
WASHINGTON, April III President
Wilson carries out his present plan he
will review $1,000 troops Of the National
army at Baltimore next Saturday aud
make an address in opening the Liberty
loan campaign that IS likely to be not
able addition to his war speeches.
II will be the Presidents first review
of troops in any number since tine coun-
try entered the war.
The troops are to march from Camp
Meade to Baltimore, a distance of twenty
miles, on Friday, and bivouac Friday
night in the city. They will take with
them camp kitchens and all their camp
accoutrements. The President viii re-
view them the next day and will then
make his address on the very spot where
Judge Wescott placed him in nomination
in 1912
The occasion, for which Baltimore is
preparing on an elaborate scale, will be
the anniversary of this country's entry into
the war and the beginning of Baltimore 5
Liberty loan campaign.
Interest here centers as much upon the
address which the President will make
as upon the first review of the nation
fighters Up till now he has refused hun
dreds Of invitations TO grace public Occa
sions and in way has made this a policy
for the war. The fact that he has tcnta
lively accepted this invitation is regarded
here as an indication that he has beer
seeking fitting opportunity for the deliv
efance OF an address TO his fellow country
men on the most recent developments il
the war.
Eumors that the President would al
dress congress in the next few days wer
dismissed as soon as the announcement
was made OF the Baltimore plan. Tn
Presidents last address was on Februar
il. when he outlined his four general peac
principles Since then Germany la
forced Russia TO accept her peace treat
at the point Of the sword and has launchc
her tremendous offensive on the westcr
front.
In his Baltimore speech the Presiden
is expected 60 express the detcrminatio
OF this country and its cobell gcrents {
push tine war to victorious finish an
20 drop all discussion OF peace until Gee
many's military party shall have acbuov
