PRESIDENT WILSON
WANTS CONGRESS
TO PROVIDE funds
Appears Before Joint Session
and Delivers Strictly
Business Message
MONEY MUST Be PROVID-
ED BY JUST TAXATION
Says Spirit Of Nation Has
Risen High Since Boys
Went @Over There
By Robert J, Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent)
|, Washington, May 81. - President
Wilson today called upon congress to
sacrifice political expediency and drive
through tax bill.
Appearing before joint session on
Washington S hottest day Of the year,
the president found an audience of So
Ions distinctly disgruntled at the pros
peet of perspiring over revenue meas
ure this summer.
1t was the second strictly business
message the president has delivered
since we got into the war.
Turning from his manuscript in CON
cluding a forceful address to congress
in joint session, the president spoke
extemporaneously:
''Just as l was leaving the white
house." he said, ''was brought the
news that Germany had apparently re-
sumed her long expected drive on the
west front. Surely you can realize how
that solemnized my feeling as | came
to you, and strengthens the purpose
that have tried to express in these
lines
The president s address follows:
"Gentlemen of the Congress:
nIt is with unaffecttd reluctance
that | came to ask YOU to prolong your
session long enough to provide more
adequate resources Of the treasury for
the conduct Of the war. | have rea-
son to appreciate els fully as you do
how arduous the session has been.
Your labors have been severe and pro-
traeted. You have PASSED long series
of measures which required the debate
of many doubtful questions of judg-
ment and many exceedingly difficult
questions of principle, as well as Of
practices.
"The summer is upon us in which la
are constantly apt to be impaired by
lassitude and fatigue. The elections
are at hand and we ought as soon as
possible render an intimate account Of
our trusteeship to the people who dele
gated us to act for them in the weighty
and anxious matters that crowd upon
us in these days of critical choice and
action. But we dare not go to the cleo
tions until we have done our duty to
the full. These are days when duty
stands stark and naked and even with
closed eyes we know 1t is there. Ex-
cuses are unavailing We have either
done our duty or VIC have not. The fact
will be as gross and plain as the duty
itself. In such case lassitude and IA
tigue seem negligible enough. The
facts are tonics and suffice to freshen
the labor.

HISTORIC FOREST IN
FRANCE MAY FALL
BEFORE M|L|TAR|STS

fBy Associated Press TO The Bannerl
PARIS, April 3-Will the forest of
Fontainebleau have to be sacrificed to
military purposes? That question is
agitating French historical, artistic
and literary circles. There is little
of these questionings in the practical
military mind and it is believed prob
able that before long the ancient for
est will resemble lumber camp on
the Ottawa or the st. Maurice rivers,
The drain of lumber during the pres
ent war has been very great. With
the difficulty in transportation grow
ing more and more acute the supply
Of timber has had to be obtained from
local tracts instead of from the vir-
gin forests of Northern Canada.
There is a pang of regret in artist
ic circles but it is remembered that
England has sacrificed without muir
mur the beautiful trees in the Royal
Park of Windsor and it is believed
that unless lumber can be obtained

tions. Fontainebleau is doomed.

lie has been moving spirit in the
agitation for support of that body by
the Filipino people and has been deliv-
ering series of stirring addresses
calling upon the Filipinos to rally to
this organization and the support of

There is a growing feeling here that
the Philippine unit will not be used on

views that the insular national guard
should be used in France.

MOTHER ON DAY
NAMED FOR HER.
Soldiers To Celebrate May
IL AS Mothers Day And
Send Letters.

GBy Associated Press To The Banncrl
PHILADELPHIA Pa, April MAY
II, the second Sunday in May, is
Mothers Day.
"ln honor of the best mother that
ever lived-your mother" was one of
the slogans under which the celebra-
tion of this day was begun by Miss
Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, several
years ago. The object, to bring about
worldwide recognition of specified
day as one for universal emphasis of
the love men and women owe to a
good mother. has been accorded re.
sponse from practically every civiliz-
ed nation.
But this year. Mothers Day is to
have significance even deeper than
formerly. With the assistance of mill
tary and naval authorities in the Unit
ed States, with the country's ships at
sea and commanding her troops
abroad, and with the aid of the Red
Cross and Young Mems Christian AS
sociation officials. the day is to be
one for an interchange of greetings
between mothers at home and their
boys with the colors.
BY men in foreign service, it is
hoped, the day will be partly devoted
to letter writing. Congress has made
the day a national flag day. Secre-
taries Baker and Daniels and General
Pershing have endorsed the innova
tion to be introduced this year on
the theory that nothing so stimulates
the morale of fighting men as letters
from home.
Honoring mothers or their memory
through some distinct act of kindness
"a visit, a letter, or the wearing OF
a white. carnation-are the marks OF
| Mothers Day observance which have
been widely adopted in North and
| South America, England, Europe and
/ Australia.
The white carnation has been rec
| obhiLCu tuC oiCSldI lloWtl lOl
Mothers Day. It's whiteness is held
symbolic of purity; its form, beauty
its fragrance, love; its wide field OF
growth, charity; its lasting qualities
/ faithfulness-the embodiment of the
! virtues of motherhood.
In her annual announcement of the
day, Miss Jarvis says. "It is not day
of idle sentimentalism. 1t evokes {
renewal of allegiance to our highes
ideals of womanhood and will contrib
ute to the sanctity of home and moth
erhood and the strengthening of do
mestic and national integrity.
Observance of the day is to be urg
ed in schools, colleges. churches, fra
ternal societies, orphanages and pris
ons. In recent years. mayors of man.
cities and towns throughout the Unit
ed States have issued proclamation
calling for general observance of tn
day.
