JOY DAMPENEn BY DELAY.
Shopping by Mail from Big Catalogue
Has Disadvantages,

Editor of The Reformer:-
Please tell the man who "takea the
JOY out of things to illustrate in his
pictures how the JOY is taken out of
by mail from big catalogue.
Things look very tempting as pic
tured and priced in a big catalogue
and when we see something we need
and want very much a little cheaper
than we can find it near home, why we
just buy a money order and send for
it. 1t is lots of fun to be expecting
Just the things you want to come in a
parcel post package, but when you
have waited a reasonable time and then
have to wait a week or two longer it
dampens your joy somewhat.
This is written from experiences OF
my own and others whom | know.

MOHONK LAKE, N. Y., May 22-
 Before a distinguished gathering of
 workers for international peace, Lind
 ley NJ. Garrison, Secretary of War, de- l livered an address here last night ad- vocating immediate and fearless con sideration of the problem of national defence. The occasion was the twen- Ity-frst annual meeting of the Lake
 Mohank Conference on International Arbitration.
 'I can and do entirely sympathize
 with every sane and sensible move ment which tends to abolish conflict and to insure peace" said Secretary Garrison; but I am utterly out of sympathy with the idea that we should neglect or postpone consideration of what is now the existing condition, be- cause of hope or a belief or even con Viction that it may be altered, even radically altered in the future"
 Such a great epochical event as the establishment of an international tri- 'bunal or the limitation of armament, MT. Garrison said, could only be brought about "by those who are strong, courageous, self-respecting and righteous; by those who look facts fearlessly in the face and act &C., cordingly; by those whose conduct is guided by reason and judgment. "If we are nation possessing these characteristics" he declared, then we will fearlessly and courageously take up the present problem which it is our duty to determine. and will determine it properly and be prepared in the proper way and with the proper spirit for what may come hereafter"
 The Secretary of War made no di- rect reference to the present European conflict He said that he supposedly refrained from discussing the defence policy which should be adopted and the details which must be carried out to make that policy effective. He urged his audience not to shrink from Consideration of the problem and not to permit themselves to be diverted by items of opprobium." "Militar- ism," he said, "is used as a term of reproach to divert proper considera- ton of what must be considered if the subject is to be considered at all. Miltarism, in the sense of having the military force interefe in the slightest with the conduct of our government by oy our authorities, is not conceivable in this country. Militarism in the sense of the absolute necessity of proper military precautions and mill tary preparations, is the subject mat ter for consideration; 1t is the impera- tive question for decision; and it needs stOuts hearts and sound minds to de- eide it. We are surely not so much deluded as to believe that We can reach by intuition what others can
