To Increase individual efficiency by

To cultivate friendship between

Preparedness

Military preparedness 10 w w
considered by Congress. This
subject has been forcefully
brought to the attention of the
American people by President
Wilson and his official associates
and is now being considered by
the nation as never before.
The question naturally arises,
are we prepared to repel a first
class power should we be attack
ed? Certainly not. We have
more men subject to bear arms
than any other nation except
Russia. We have more wealth
than any other nation on the
face of the globe. But from a
military standpoint, we are an
unframed, sleeping giant. A
noted Jap has said that his
country could land a force on
our pacific coast and could prob
ABLY march half across the coun-
try before our forces could be
gotten together to give them a
check. Not only is this true but
an one of the first powers of
Europe could land a force on our
eastern coast and destroy our
largest cities including Washing
ton together with our arms and
munitions plants before we
could offer any real opposition.
The fact that they could land
was conclusively proven during
the recent naval maneuvers.
That they could sack and burn
Washington was demonstrated
by England years ago and we
are less prepared to meet an in
vading foe today than when the
last English army landed in
Chespeak Bay.
If we are not prepared, should
we be prepared? Is there a
probability or even a possibility
of our being attacked? We
think there is. Our government
has come dangerously close up
to break with Germany, and
all the matters in dispute are
not yet settled. Secretary
Lansing has recently requested
the recall of both the military
and the naval attaches to the
German legation. and Mr.. Will
son has not yet accepted Ger
many's proffered settlement of
the Lucitana incident. Then,
too, there has been none to
good feeling between these two
countries since the Manila Incl
dent during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. Austria also seems to
have her feelings stuck out like
the quills of a porcupine, and
has twice sent impertinent notes
to our government. Then we
have a quarrel with England.
Practically the same conditions
maintain today that did a little
over one hundred years ago
when our country went to war
with England to uphold our
rights on the high seas. Can it
be possible that this nation will
allow England, unohastened, to
disregard the rights of our peo-
pie so nobly defnded by our
fathers?

we near IL al SuCu VIC"
of the nations will be in condl-
ton, for at least generator
after the present war ends t.
make war on us. History bear
out no such contention. No
thinking person expects thu
present strife, gigantic as it is,
to go on to the point of eXtermi
nation. When peace is made
England, Germany, Austria
Russia and Italy will each hav'
millions of trained soldiers armed
equipped and ready for service
anywhere on the face of the
globe. And some of these
powers will have the ships to
transport them to any proposed
scene Of action. This is all that
is necessary. If they have the
ability to get here and conquer
at all. they can conquer all they
need to keep fighting until we
buy them off or prepare an army
to beat them off. History re-
lates that nations have fought
and been beaten only to rise
again. After our own late unpl-
easantness" among ourselves our
most costly strife in men ano
money, we were able to order
France out of Mexico immediat-
ely after peace was conquered
at home. And our last war witt
England came after fifty years
of almost continuous fighting
in Europe and just when thai
country was in the agonies of ;
death grip with great Napolean.
1t is also argued that farmer'
and artisans have fought all oul
past wars. Here, too, the op
ponents to Preparedness" fai

nearly every man had som

civil war our people frequently
met for muster and went

knowledge of what is to be don
