The policy of the new Administra. uon was outlined in one of the brief est inaugural addresses evc.' made to Congress. In it MT. Wilson indicated his purpose to revise the tariff and to reform the currency Systtn. The President maintained that the Repub-. lican protective tariff Was a breeder of trusts" and that the National bank system which had not been changed since the Civil War, gave Vail street financiers too much power. Among other innovations, Mi Wilson amour ced policy of "piti,ess publicity and, until May, 1916, save semi-weok ly audiences to the Washington news paper correspondents. He said the White House would De wide open J but correspondents were not seen by him during the war. He declined mem bership in an exclusive gOlf club at the Capital and joined d very modest one where he went to play his favor ite outdoor game Later he determin ed on rounds of all the outdoor clubs and included the fashionable ones.

He was married to Mrs. Edith Boiling Galt the widow of a Washington merchant, who immediate ly became his constant companion and confidant.
 Germany's latest threat caused the President to take a step regarded as precedent to actual hostilities. He recommended the arming of merchant shlps for their own defence against the illegal attacks by submarines, It was the much assailed policy of arm ed neutrality. A little while before this the famous McLemOre resolution was introduced in the House.
