The present session, of congress will be the most important in its scope . since the civil war. vMillions will be appropriated for defense. The traditional policies of the government will probably be revolutionized.

The Army and Navy will have more money at their disposal during the next few years than ever before during time of peace. . * • Our diplomatic relations with some of the countries at war may be suspended at any time. War may possibly follow, such action on our part. Peace May Be Declared during the- new year between the countries now at war, and it is assumed that the United States will become the chief arbitrator, if it is able to remain neutral until such time. Mexico is in a reconstructive period and continues to make history of the most pitiful type. The National Conventions Will Be Held in June This is presidential year. President Wilson will probably be indorsed again by the Democrats and be renominated. Who the Republican candidate will be is yet a matter of speculation. These are only a few of the big things the leading newspapers of the country will tell about. In the meantime all the news of interest to the home and to women and children is not to be neglected. Everybody Should Be Prepared to keep posted op these all-im-portant events and no American citizen should remain in ignorance of what is going on.
