In presenting the resolutions. Senator
Root said:
The war N Europe is not the cause
of a movement for preparation for de-

The war in Europe is but the demon
stration striking the Imagination and
convincing the judgment Of the people
of the United States upon the necessity
for the adequate preparation for de-
fense.
DO not let us deceive ourselves.
Adequate preparation for preservation
of our liberty means Il vast experience.
but it means more than that, it means
a willingness ror self sacrifice, a spirit
among our people along the length and
breadth of our land, among the rich
and the poor. among the highly edu-
Gated and the graduates of the com
mon school, among professional men,
between merchants and bankers, far
mers and laborers-a national spirit
among the people of the land and a de-

venience comfort and if need be, of life
