suited in no gain of ground. In fact.

Defends Course Of q. s.

Prof. Hart strongly defended the
course OF the United States in its prin-
ciple of neutrality. and declared that
a country has as much right to be
peaceful as 1t has to go to war. For
England to call the North sea q war
area, and for German submarines to
sink American vessels without investi-
eating, are both infractions of the
rights of neutrals. Prof. Hart said.
There should be no fear Of war on the
part of this country. concluded the
speaker, but we should be prepared,
for" he said. I'VE live in heroic times,
when nations are battling for tre-
mendous possessions"
