OPPOSES HYSIERIA OF
PREPAREDNESS WHICH
Y, rs SWEEPING COUNTRY

Speaking before, the Syracuse Uni.

recently, Chancellor James Roscoe
Day protested against the present hss-
terra on the subject Of military pre-
paredness. He does not feel that there
is immediate fear that the United
States will be attacked

lege Of testing her Krupp guns, gave

none OF that here. We do not want TO
can to war our young men from the
fields, the factories and the mines.
God put us here to work out the des-
tiny or the last great nation, and We
have not had to burden our shoulders
with the carrying Of guns
He added that he believed in manly
men ana was not opposed to military
instruction. He also Is an advocate Of
reasonable armament and reasonable
military force. What he was ever
opposed to was. he said. ~the present
war hysteria," and the attempt to shift
the great issue OF peace for the issue
of war.
at Is time notice is served upon
the men who are canvassing this coun-
try politically that it is not American

Had the central government been

Official disloyalty that reached up
into the Presidents chair itself had
weakened the North and strengthened
the South, and the South felt sure of
