a comparative weakling dared the might of
the British Empire in defense Of its right to
use the seas. It will be no less vigilant in
protection of American interests now. The
nation has decided to put the flag back on

has failed to appreciate the depth of Ameri-

when religious fervor and belief were far
stronger than today, almost every sol

seemed impending, or before going into
battle, the crusaders were wont to touch the
