WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-President

Wllson, in his annual address to Con- gress yesterday, dealing mainly with nstional defence, proclaimed an ad- vanced Americaniisni, growing from the guardianship of the Monroe Doc- trine to “the full and honorable as- sociation.” of all the Americans.

Although, in the longest address he

has yet delivered to Congress, the President touched upon a variety of subjects, the predominating note was the necessity of a policy of military preparedness to meet the readjust- ments of the next generation as they will affect the American Continent. He emphasized his point by saying:

“Unless you take it within your view

and permit the full significance of it to command your thought, I cannot find the right light in which to set forth the particular matter that lies at the very front of my whole thought, as I address you to-day. I mean national defence."

The point was not overshadowed

when the President, in the most ull- measured terms he ever has employ-, ed before Congress, denounced natur-

,alized Americans who, by their sym- pathies for the European belligerents, have endangered American neutrality. While Congress cheered him loudly, he referred to them as having “pour- ed the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life." and as those who “would turn in maiign re- action against the Government alld the people who had welcomed alld nurtured them." With evidences of deep feeling the President expressed “the even deeper humiliation and scorn which every self-possessed and thoughtfully patriotic American must feel when he thinks of them and of the discredit they are daily bringing upon us." _ _

While the President’s outline of the

administration plan for the army alld navy passed without a ripple of ap- plause. and his references to pau-Am- I ericanism were only punctuated wi-th' evidence of approval. Republicans and l Democrats alike, joined in an elwzla- I tic demolilitl'ation'at his words ff. ~-\il- dolninatlon for those he assallefi -- -wl- rescrvcdly.

Gribble also rc- lated an incident when he, a soldier and all officer in one of the regiments. met Col. McAvlty of the 28th. The soldier saluted, but the officer did not, saying. “ I have no use for that sort of man." Gribble also claimed that many of the soldiers were forced to enlist and that Socialists who answered the call to arms `wcrc»“ no good to ollr order as we can’t trust them." Wor- den said that Grihble’s rcfcrenceswero freely applauded by other Socialists at the meeting.

was so successful with his battery. The Island will, I am sure. be proud of them both now and later. There are no better men lin our armies to-day than the ‘Spud Islanders! My own lot in this regiment areflrst-rate chaps -never up for 'office' and always in at the finish. We have a splendid re- giment resdy for anything, our 0. C. Col Shaw is a splendid chap. He is fairly young (35). was in South Africa, seven years in R. N. W. M. P, and latterly in Lord Strathcona Horse. He is a fine sportsman and very popu- lar all round. My only fear is that he will be taken away from us for s higher appointment. Since coming over here we have been shifted about a. good deal. In a few days more we ll10Ve UD again to the trenches for a fortnight. We shall probably be hav- ing a warm--time then. The day be fore yesterday we had rather an amus- ing time. It was a football match bo- tween the ohlcers of our own and other regiments. It was a burlesque. All were dressed up in outlandish rigs. Pho challenged team arrived in a Tally-Ho (which consisted of a G. S. waggon drawn by draft horses). It was an odd scene. The church bells were ringing, big gun.s firing, rain pouring, and still everyone shouting and laughing at the antics of the play- ers. The serious ide of war makes no impression on any one here. The soldiers are the happiest and jolilest crew one ever law. A few nights ego we had a concert in the neighbouring town.‘ The performers belonged to a Winnipeg medical unit. It was easily the best amateur show I ever attend- ed. The only ladies present were a few nurses, so the jokes went down all right. With the exception of an occasional cold wo are all very fit and

readily we grow accustomed to mud and dirty surroundings. Even the horses are ill good condition. I my- self am surprised to find how well I feel. I can ride all day and keep up my end on the route marches, but of course I do not at my age expect to .stand the wet and cold in the marches as well as the younger chaps.

The weather has been a little finer

lately, frost every night, but not very cold. We are in extra good biilets just now, but hardly expect to be as well off again.

Our greatest lack is locks. The is-

sue is not as ggod as our old-fashioned Canadian socks. The good pe‘opie of P. E. I. would be esteemed great be- nefactor: .lf they could send us, say a thousand pairs of good thick woolen locks.. Care of the men's feet la our greatest problem.
