Need Of the Hour.

It is because the organization OF ma
tional life is so eminently important,
because it's absence is one Of the main
sources Of our peril, that we should
be interested primarily in the develop
ment of a national consciousness and
a discipline, which are good for peace,
and which can be forwarded now by
the peril of war if statesmen of vision
can be found to give the movement
leadership. Any reaction OF opinion
which tends to retard or Illustrate that
development is a national peril. The
lack of just that kind of leadership
today is conspicuous. The time IS
ripe for the development OF a disc1-
pine adapted to and expressive OF the
philosophy of democracy for deli
mite and concrete program. instead
of such craftsmanship, we have moth
ing as yet which is constructive. I'M

lures on purely military and naval
matters deserves the name.-Georga

Robinson with shudder.

Thank you. Good day."
"Now," said Average Jones to Der.

appeared, this looks pretty queer to
me. What did you think of our

Scared but straight" was Bertram's
verdict.
Average Jones pushed the collec-

turned to the opening phase of the
problem, the fish-bait circular which

"Why-why-why," suffered Rob-

humed the following: Il did have a

"No. I'm quite sure"
