long as the land Of his adoption

not sympathize with any but his
native land. There is no man on

patriotic than Germans. The

not figure when one S native land

when the very existence of the
fatherland is threatened.

strict neutrality-as long as the

STRONG NAVY URGED FOR

Washington, May Ex-senator
Robert f. Broussard of Louisiana
Vice Chairman of the National
Defense League, today tele-
graphed the league here follow
ing statement from his home in
New iberia, La:
, 1.-The present situation empha-
sizes conditions in this country to
which the National Defense
league has persistently called at
tention for years. The strained
relations existing certainly cause
every thoughtful and. patriotic
citizens to inquire if we ale pre-
pared to meet this situation
There can be no question of the
sincere desire of the American
Republic to be at peace with the
world. Perhaps nowhere else is
there deeper sympathy for suffer
ing humanity in the war. No
worthy American citizen would
wish his country otherwise than
neutral.
"At the same time, American
property, American life, and
American freedom to travel the
high seas must be respected.
1.-The presidents note has the
true American ring and the prime
iples announced, if carried out,
will find universal response in the
heart Of America.
is it fair to repose these grave
responsibilities upon the presi-
dent and yet arm him so scantiiy
to enforce these principles if they
are challengedq Let honor and
honesty answer this question.
The United States is a leace-
full country. 1t is for peace be-
cause it loves justice and abhors
injustice, it strives, for right and
detests wrong but this is nor suf-
ficient to keep it out of war.
There is no infallible road to-
wards peace. But a power Of the
first magnitude has obligations il
evade. responsibilities il
must not shirk, and whcn others
attempt to make it forget or
pvade these a firm attitude must
be assumed by those entrusted
with power. Such an attitude
once assumed must be enforced.

THE MEDIUM SIZED MAN.

We are all inclined to look ur
TO the physically big man, not
only literally, but there is always
certain presumption in his
favor that he must be correspond
lngly strong mentally. People
make room for him: they attach
more Importance usually to what
he says than to the same words
uttered by an understood man.
We unconsclously picture in our
minds the bayonet charge and
storming of the trenches as the
work Of large men. The boy
dreams Of having a football ply
sique and little sister worships
her big brother.
Other abilities being equal, the
large man has a positive advant-
age, over the small man. And yet
many, if not the majority, of the
great men Of the world have been
only Of medium size, and not al
Few even understood.
A certain large city in this
country had for years made it a |
rule not to employ in it's fire de-
partment any but large men. The
result was small army Of ath-
letes which never failed to carse
a positive thrill whenever they
went on parade. They distinctly
represented the day of physical
might. .
For some years past the inven-
tive mind has been busy, and very
successfully, to produce appa-
ratus which never tires, and calcu-
lated to transfer to great ex-
tent the hard work from muscle

this evolution may he seen in
