the more stupendOus our preparations the less
bloodShed and the shorter the struggle But we
must remember certain restraints on our actions
even in time OF war. We are a Christian people,

cognized ms Christian nations.
We must not invade constitutional rights. The
innocent must not suffer. nor women and chill.
