PRESIDENT DECRIES
IN1NG ISSUE
WARM
Asks House Democrats to Ig
nore This Point Until San
Francisco Convention
Washington, Feb. f). President Wil
son onnnKOH Hie nlnn to have Demo
crntic members of the House nt their
caucus tonight make nn issue ot uni
versal military tralulng.
The President's views arc set foith in
n letter to Secretary Baker, transmitted
today to House Democratic Jcndcrs.
Tho letter follows:
T am told that a caucus ot the
Democratic members of the House ot
Itepresentutlvcs has been called to
consider pending military legislation
and the suggestion has been made
that a resolution bo adopted commit
infi the Democratic membership ot
the House against tho policy of gen
eral military training.
In the present circumstances it
would seem to me unfortunate to
make a party issue upon this sub
ject, particularly since, within n few
months the party will assemble, in
convention nnd declare the principles
upon whicli it deems it wise to com
mit itself in a national election.
The present disturbed state of the
world does not permit such sureness
with regard to America's obligations
ns to allow us lightly to decide upon
this great question upon purely mili
tary grounds while the demonstrated
advantage to the use of the couutry
which enme from military service in
the war plainly suggest that in the
national interest, quite apart from
military considerations, the moder
ate nnd carefully conducted course
of mHitary training may have the
highest possible advantages.
Tn our discussion of the subject you
will recall I gave my npproval in
principle to the various vcj-y moder
ate training' projects suggested by the
general staff nut! 1 would be very glad
to have sou convey to appropriate
members of the House who will at
tend, the caucus my strong feeling
ngalnst action by tho .caucus which
will tend to interpose an nrbitrary
party determination to the eonsidern-
ation which this subject should re
tcivT ti did tin" brut thought of tho
members of the House, considering
alike the national emergencies which
may confront us nnd the grcnt dis
ciplinary and other advantages which
suj?h n system plninly promises for
the oung men of the country.

Our Entire Stock of Furniture Is Now
Marked at Less Than Regular Prices
IT is safe to say that the average cost of everything that enters into the production,
of good Furniture labor, lumber, hardware, varnish, etc. has more than doubled in
the past three or four years. There is no present indication that any of these costs
will soon be reduced. The prices at all the Furniture factories to-day are higher than when
the Furniture in our stock
was bought, and all that we
buy after the February Sale
is ended, as well as all that
is now marked at reduced
prices, will have to be
marked at considerably more
than our February Sale
prices.
IF you have a home to fur
nish, or if you need a
single piece of Furniture,
or a Suit for Dining-room,
Bedroom, Library, Living
room, Breakfast-room or
.Summer Parlor, we advise
you to buy it NOW.
THE Furniture Sale is an
established semi-annual
institution, and we have
sound economic reasons for
concentrating upon Furni
ture and distributing large
'luantities "between sea
sons," and so, follow our cus
tom this year. But when
the Sale ends, it will no
longer be possible to soil at
the lower prices now prevailing.
