From the London Chronicle.
During the thirty years war false re-
ports of battles came to be so prevalent
that an Oxford divine offered up public
prayers for the conversion of the COM

desire Thee to inspire the curranto-
makers with the spirit of truth, that one
may know when to praise Thy blessed
and holy name and when to pray unto
holy name for the King of Swedens VIC

was no such thing. and we oftentimes
pray unto Thee to relieve the same kine
in his distresses. and We likewise heare
that there is no such cause

From the first We have had clear
and settled policy with regard to
military establishments. We never
have had, and while we retain our
present principles and ideals we never
shall have, large standing army.
II asked, are you ready to defend
yourselves? We reply, most assured
ly, to the utmost; and yet we shall
not turn America into a military
camp. We will not ask our young
men to spend the best years OF their
lives making soldiers of themselves.
There Is another sort of energy in US.
1t will know how to declare itself and
make itself effective should occasion
arise. And especially when half the
world is on fire we shall be careful
to make our moral insurance against
the spread of the confiagration very
definite and certain and adequate in
deed.
Let US remind ourselves, therefore,
of the only thing we can do or will
do. We must depend in every time
OF national peril, in the future as in
the past. not upon standing army,
nor yet upon reserve army, but upon
a citizenry trained and accustomed
to arms. 1t will be right enough, right
American policy, based upon our ac-
customed principles and practices, to
provide a system by which every
citizen who will volunteer for
