Why are many Americans welded 10
the theory that We are immune from
war and from invasion? Did Belgium
dream two years ago that a German
governor general would be the ruling
power OF the nftion? Not that we are
as weak as Belgium was when the
heei OF he despot touched her shores.
But we merely refer to Belgium and
the great holocaust in Europe to dem
9aslrate how true President Wilson
is iu his deduction that one cannot tell
what a day viii bring forth. His
preparedness plans should be passed
by congress and passed at once for he
tells of danger that he knows ex-
lists and it's little less than foolhardy
for men who know not what they
speak of, to take issue with him.
The president is right!

IN all solemnity, President Wilson
is telling the country that there is no
way OF knowing what day may
bring forth to disturb the peace of the
nation ana TO bring war. He also tells
us that we arc not prepared for it.
Yet there are mon who have the hardi-
hood to question tlfo wisdom of the
presidents position ana to fight his
preparedness plans.

and in the ones in Cleveland and Pitts.
