Ample preparedness for war was
given hearty approval by an audience,
composed largely of former regular
army soldiers Monday night a. the camp-
| fire of Presidents Own Garrison, Army
and Navy Union. in Stanley Hall, at the
| United States Soldiers Home. In the
| audience were several hundred SOL
| diers, who have served with the colors
| from the war with Mexico to the China
| relief expedition. Every suggestion of
| the speakers that this country should
| be in readiness for any war that may
come was greeted with hearty cheers
| The principal address was on THE
| Other Fellow in the Preparedness
| Plans the speaker being Capt j.
Walter Mitchell of the Army and Navy
| Union and United Spanish War veter-
ans. In part, he said:
Cites Opponents Arguments.
| Opposed to all preparedness plans
we find as negative all manner Of
| peace promoters, so called, many of
| them serving with propaganda that
| is resorting in some instances to the
| despicable means of trying to discredit
| the patriotism and fealty of the Ameri-
I can soldier in order to defeat any pro-
| gram of preparedness that may be pre-
sented to Congress.
The other fellow in the plans for
preparedness presents several phases.
| We have the preacher who declares
| that Gen. Jackson defeated the Eng
lish regulars under Gen. Packenham at
New Orleans with pitchforks and squir-
| rel rifles. We have the backwoods con-
| gressman, to whom the canal boat

creek, in his district. is just as majes-
! tic a craft as our greatest and latest
| dreadnaught, and the statesman
| who can note no difference between the
ancient shotgun and the most recent
| llong-range rifle"
National Commander II. Oden Lake of
the Army and Navy Union and Capt E.
p Dunlap, adjutant general of that or
| ganization, spoke on the value of in
creasng the membership as an asset in
| the preparedness for war plans of the
| government. Commander Lake said
go new garrisons will be formed in
all parts of the country in the ensuing
two years.
