Main Street --- **FACTS ON DEFENSE WON'T BE GIVEN !** ### PRESIDENT TAFT WITHDRAWS HIS DATA, AS HOUSE WILL NOT HOLD IT CONFIDENTIAL. Washington, Dec. 13.—President Taft today directed Secretary of War Dickinson to withhold from congress entirely his report on the national defenses, made in answer to the resolution passed by the House of representatives, since it has precisely declined to receive the report in confidence. Hence it will not be sent at all. The president took the ground today that all the reports on the army and the fortifications along the coasts of the United States upon which congress could base intelligent conclusions were considered regular annual reports of the secretary of war, his chief of staff and other subordinate officers of the war department. These reports are already in the hands of congress. President Taft agrees with some of the members that secrets of defense could be held in strict confidence. As the house cannot receive reports in confidence, the president declines absolutely to send withhold the original report in its entirety. He desired Secretary Dickinson to prepare a letter to the house, giving his reasons for withholding the special report and inviting congress to use the regular reports, which will be found to contain all the actual information that helps to make up the whole picture of national defense. He—It's quite true that there are no cruets in buses. She—Oh, you sweet little darlings.—Illustrated Bits. --- Only One "BROMO QUININE," that is **Laxative Bromo Quinine** Cures a Cold in One Day.

The giving of free souvenirs to every buyer throughout the holiday season has not has done much to attract the crowds.
