WILSON WORKS
ON His MESSAGE
Document to Be Presented to
66th Congress Will Be One
of Much Importance.
tBy WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.)

Washington, Nov. 21.-u. n. 81
President Wilson has begun to pre-
pare his message to the Sixty sixth
congress, which reconvenes in first
regular session on Dec, !.
This message to the congress. ac-
cording to common consent, will be
one of the most important ever writ
ten by a tenant of the White House.
1t probably will go down in history as
the presidents reconstruction mes
sage.
The president is known to be of
the opinion that affairs In the United
States are in a very grave condition,
as his message will have for it's sub
ject "The State Of the Nation" 1t is
said that he will plunge into the topic
in a fighting spirit.
Whether he dwells at length upon
the peace treaty and the events lead
ing up to its rejection in the senate
Wednesday night, will depend largely
upon what takes place between now
and Dec. /.
The chief executive believes the
temper of the senate will cool be-
tween now and when they next meet,
and that the treaty of Versailles may
still be ratified principally as it
stands. Others consider that the only
hope for the pact lies in the admins
tration leaders accepting the docu
ment with the Lodge reservations at
tached. But a third group believe a
compromise is, possible between now
and when the congress convenes
which will enable the president to
withdraw the treaty from the senate
ptgeonhole where it now is, resubmit
it at once to that body. and secure its
ratification within a week.
In case there is no indication the
mood of the senate has undergone a
change of heart, it is more than likely
that President Wilson will devote con
siderable space in his message to il
with regard to the holding up of the
world and keeping it from getting
back to business.
The nations of the world can never
settle down to the work of recon
struction. to provide what they need
and to the cutting of the high cost
of living until the treaty of peace is
disposed of. and that he will insist
in emphatic language that congress
attend to this particular matter with
out delay and then pass on to the
ether exceedingly grave problems con
fronting the country. is considered 6
certainty. The industrial unrest, con.
tinually on the increase throughout
the United States, will form another
important part of the president:
message, according to the impression
here. In this chapter it is antici.
pated that he will not only go int
the causes of the unrest, pointing ou
some of the errors committed by boil
sides of industry, but will outlin,
some kind of constructive polio!

and j. II. Daily, attorney for the de-
fendant.
Much evidence was introduced by
the government, including large
number OF letters, checks and other
papers. Grace Sims admitted that she
wrote several of the letters and made
out some of the checks, but that she

came Mowery's dausilterin law was

set forth that his fun had just be-
