TEXT OF WILSON’S SPEECH AT JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS; HIGH PRAISE FOR FIGHTERS ‘Thanks God That They Went Into Battle Just at the Critical Moment When Fate of World Hung in Balance. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2—Follo’ ing is tho text of the address deliv- ered to-day by President Wilson at the joint session of Congress. Gentlemen of the Congress: The oar that has elapsed since I last wtood before you to ¢ulfill my con- elitutional duty to give to the Con- ress from time to time, information on the state of the Union has been o crowded with great events, great (rocesses and great results that 1 cannot hope to give you an adequa picture of its transactions or of the far-reaching changes which have been wrought in the life of our na- tion and af the world. You have yourself witnessed these things, as I have. It is too soon to). assess them; and we who stand in midst of them and are part of them are less qualified than men of another generation will be to say what they mean or even what they have been. But some great outstanding facts are unmistakable and constitute in a sense part of the pul Ddusiness “with which ft is our duty to deal. To tate them is to set the stage for the Tegislative and tive action which must grow out of them and which we have yet to shape and determine. DESCRIBES THE GREAT Mov’ MENT OF TROOPS TO RUROPE. year ago we had sent 146,198 men Since then we have sent 1,950,513, an average of 162,642 each month, the number tn fact rising tn ‘May last to 245,951, in June to 278,760, in July to 307,182 and continuing to Teach similar figures in August and September—in August 289,570 and in September 257,438, No such movo- ment of troops ever took place before across 3,000 miles of sea, followed by adequate equipment and supplles, nd carried safely through extraordinary dangers of attack—dangers which were alike strange and infinitely dif- ficult to guard against. In all this movement only 758 men were lost by enomy attacks—630 of whom were upon 4 single English transport which was sunk near Orkney Islands. 1 need not tefl you what lay back of this great movement of men and material. it is not in- vidious to eay that back of it lay of the country and of ail its productive activities—more complete; more thorough in method and effective in result more spirited and unanimous in Purpose ‘and effort than any other great belligerent had ever been able to effect. We profited greatly by the ex- perience of the nations which had already been engaged for nearly three years in the exigent and exact- ing business, their every resource and every executive proficiency taxed to the utmost. We were the pupils. But we learned quickly and acted with @ promptness and a readiness of co-operation that justify our great pride that we were able to serve the world with unparalleled energy and quick accomplishment. HIGH PRAISE FOR THE METTLE AND QUALITY OF THE MEN. But !t ts not the physical scale and executive efficiency of preparation, supply. equipment end despatch that (Co 3BODSL2906-0096-250003550550006 50064 patueeamee” vw } 22% ‘OUNL T would dwell upon, but the mettle and quality of the officers and men we sent over and of tho sailors who kept the seas, and the spirit of the nation that stood behind them. No soldiers or sailors ever proved them- selves more quickly ready test of battle or acquitted themselves with more splendid courage and achieverjent when put to the test. Those of us who played some part in directing the great processes by which the war was pushed irresistibly forward to the final triumph may now forget all that and delight our thoughts with the story of what our men did. Their officers understood the grim and exacting task they had undertaken and performed with audacity, eMciency and unhesitating courage that touch the story of con- voy and battle with imperishable dis- tinction at every turn, whether the enterprise were great or small, from their chiefs—Pershing and Sims— down to the youngest lieutenant and thelr men were worthy of them—such men as hardly need to be commanded, and go to their terrible adventure blithely and with the quick intelll- gence of those who know just what it is they would accomplish. “| am proud to be the fellow- countryman of men of such stuff and valor, wh Tl “Did Anyone Who Ever Heard a New Edison Ever Buy. Any Other Instrument?” RANKLY, we do not know. But it is dif- ficult to believe that after hearing the New Edison’ anyone could purchase any other make. The chief reason that other devices are sold at all is because the purchasers have never heard the New Edison. Time and again the New Edison is bought to replace some other make, purchased before the buyer had heard a proper demonstration of : The NEW EDISON ---- “The Phonograph with a Soul” Doesn't it stand to reason that an instrument which RE-CREATES should be preferred to one which merely imitates? Isn't it obvious that an instrument which has successfully met the tone test should take precedence over those which are unable to sustain this search- ing trial? Not once, but 1500 times has the New Edison been subjected to the test of direct comparison with the artist's living voice or actual instrumental performance. Audiences totaling more than 2,000,000 people have attended these tone tests. And invariably the verdict ‘was the same: artist and instrument were indistinguishable. ‘Why should anyone purchase any other instrument after hearing the New Edison?

Our thoughts have dwelt of late upon Europe—upon Asia, upon the Near and the Far East -very little upon the acts of peace and accommodation that wait performed at our own doors. While we are*adjusting our rela- tions with the rest of the world is it not of capital importance that we should clear away all grounds of mis- understanding with our tmmediate neighbors and give proc? of the friendship we really feel?

WILSON'S PROGRAMME LEVYING NEW TAXES. For the steadying and facilitation jof our own domestic business read- justments nothing is more important than the immediate determination of the taxes that are to be levied for 1918, 1919, and 1920. As much of the burden of taxation must be lifted from business as sound methods of financing the Government will per- mit, and thoxe who conduct the great essential industries of the country must be told as exactly possible what obiigations to the Government they will be expected to meet in the years immediately ahead of them. It will be of serious consequence to the country to delay removing al! un- certainties in this matter a single da longer than the right processes of di bate justify. It is idle to talk of suc- cessful and confident business recon- struction before those uncertainties are resolved, If the war.had continued it would (Continued on Ninth Page.)
