navy. In time We will have a navy and
an army, which, when necessary. will
help England TO protect as against for

never be turned against the United
States, and we certainly would never
make common cause with Emperor VIII
lam should he entertain designs On the
United States. II will be twenty or
thirty years before our navy can be Of
any value. There is no hurry. But by
degrees We shall have a navy and army

publicity altogether in connection with
our work, BY that mean that We never
publish the names OF the boys and girls

work untold ham. Some boys. by seeing
their names IN the newspapers. would
feel big. and ether boys would regard
them as heroes, while others again would
