All OF which was decidedly dlsconcertlnE

However, after a time, she discovered
that his clumslncss, bad as II was, was

bers of the woman's section telling
them of some of the practical aspects OF
the problem which confront the coun-
try. and the women who wish to aid to
obtain increased military prepared
ness.
Col. Thompson said in part:
There exists in this country, as you
know, strong propaganda, supported
by ample funds, which breaches the
doctrine that this country should not
prepare itself to resist invasion. We, on
the contrary, teach that it is the duty
of the government and the duty OF
every citizen to see to it that this coun-
try be adequately prepared.
Here are the two alternatives: This
country may be invaded, or it may not.
If the doctrine of the pacifists prevail,
and if the country be invaded, can you
or any one estimate the suffering, the
horror. the loss which must ensue? II,
on the other hand, we make prepara :
tions and invasion never comes, what
happens? We spend some money
among our own people. What do we
do when we insure our houses. our
property? We pay our premiums. If
the property be not destroyed, have we
lost anything? No! We get what we
paid for-insurance. So if we suffi-
GENTLY prepare we lose nothing as long
as peace is insured.

Expenses of Army and Navy.

But the pacifists will tell you that
we are being called upon to pay enor-
nous sums, which must bankrupt the
country and prevent the carrying out
of various utopian schemes which
would-be philanthropists would like to
see consummated at the expense of
somebody else.
Now, let US see what we have been
spending on our army and navy. On the
navy we spend annually something less
than we spend for tires for our auto
mobiles. On the army we spend much
less than we do for chewing gum, and
the two states of Massachusetts and
New York have licensed more chauf-
feurs than there are soldiers and sailors
in the army and navy of the United
States! We have not always spent our
money wisely. We might have got more
for it than we have, but we have got
samples of what a navy and
army ought to be. If you will spend on
your navy three-fourths of the sum
that you annually spend for new auto
mobiles, war in this country becomes
unthinkable, for we could hold the
seas against any navy now in existence.
"Movie" Money Would Pay Bill.
IF you will spend on your army
what you spend on moving pictures
the insurance will be complete. No

our way in peace and quiet, attacking
no one and standing in fear of no one
1.-THE situation that confronts US to-
day is that our navy is not adequate
to hold the sea against the navies OF
at least two other nations; that either
group of European nations can in two
weeks after they have driven our war
ships from the sea land on our shores
an army of 100000 men, fully armed,
equipped and supplied. and within
month could reinforce this army with
another of like strength. Our prob
lem. then, is to SO strengthen our navy
as to be able to hold the sea against
any possible invasion, or to create an
army capable of meeting the invaders
and driving them back before they
could be reinforced.
I'VE have come together to take
counsel as to what we can best do TO
forward our cause. At its next ses-
sion the question of national defense
will be presented to the Congress, and
the leading men of both parties Will
support the President and advocate
