 'In the war of 1912 we were humiliated and OUT capital burned and Great Britain, because she was busy at home, quit with out insisting on her rights.

But we have in us the power, for there is not really good American who is not ready to die for his country plead for training of every citizen, so that if the time comes when we need to defend these institutions under which we live so gloriously, he will be able to do so, and instead of dying a suicide, os of becoming simply foolish victim Of tM foe, he will have given good account of himself in the defense of his country,

DO OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 TEACH FALSE HISTORY?

Military service during the youth of every male citizen of the United States was sug- gested as means of providing sufficient reserve army in a public address recently delivered by Colonel H. o. S. Helstand, U. s. A., ad]utant general of the Central de- partment of the army
 Colonel Heistand said the United States was totally unprepared for war, and urged that the regular army and the national guard were inadequate, and protested against what he termed false history taught the country.
 If at this minute" he said "every one of the 90,000 regular soldiers in the United States, cavalry infantry and coast artillery, were assembled in New York, there would not be enough men to man the guns on a war footing
 And if every one of the LOGO national guardsmen were assembled in New York city there would not be enough to protect these guns from attack, and those guns, as they are now situated, are a greater menace to New York than a protection, because all a foe would have to do would be to turn them around and point them at New York city and begin shooting.
 "For the purpose of defense would have every male citizen of the United States in the early period of his life give sufficient time to the United States army to qualify himself in the essentials of soldier. would have him learn how to shoot and have him learn how to march, 1 would have him learn how to take care of himself in the field, how to pitch and roll up his tent, how to ride his horse, how to cook his bread and bacon and take care of his health, and above all, to submit his will to his com mander. And I would have him do that with very small pay.
 But the trouble with our people is that they are suffering from false teaching. In our school history we teach that in the war of the revolution we whipped England; that in the war of 1872 we whipped England; i; that in the war with Mexico we whipped her, and that in the war of our own rebel lion we rose up from the fields and farms and marched right out and put down the rebellion.

end red If you were sports, you were game to the last, cheerful losers, and all such are winners As yous souls play hide and seek with the sirens and dance with the nalads, you have lost interest in us. But our hearts are with you still You showed Us how death and danger put all on parity. The women in the steerage were your sisters the men your brothers; and on the tablets of love and memory we have graved your names.
 William T. Stead, you were a writer thinker, speaker, doer of the word. You proved your case sealed the brlet with your hearts blood; and as your bearded face locked in admiration for the last time at the twinkling, shining stars, God in par donabe pride said to Gabriel, Here comes a man.!
 And so all you knew, and all that thou sand and half q thousand more l dld not know. passed out of this earth-lte into the Unknown upon the unforgetting tide You were sacrificed to the greedy Goddess ot Luxury and her consort, the Demon ot Speed.
 Was it worth the while? Who shall say?

Cit is one of the queer pranks of fate that Ebert Hubbard, the gifted and eccentric writer and publisher of The PhiIistine and The Fra, should have been the author of the following graphic description of the loss of the great ocean liner Titanic, with its appaII- ing death list. Because of the fact that he himself met death when the Lusitana was destroyed by a German torpedo, additional interest is given to Hubbard's inimtabIe sketch.)

President of the Mutual Life Insurance
Co. OF New !, York, when advised tonight
Of the SUIT brought by Mrs. Walsh said:
I'VE have never thought of investing
any sum like s1o,ooo,o0O in Anglo-French
bonds. The matter is under considera-
ton. however, and it might be that we
would decide to take s2,oOo.O0o or :3.O0o, 900
of the bonds, as they are doubtless good

tirely lawful for US to invest s10,60o.00o or
any other sum in the bonds within rea-
son."
Members of the Anglo-French financial
commission who are named as co-defend-
ants with the insurance company. had
heard nothing of the fling Of the suit.
It was thought unlikely that the suit
would delay their departure.
A prominent Wall Street banker as
serted tonight that in his opinion the
filing of the suit would not prevent the
flotation OF the loan and would hardly
hamper it. - 49,
