many, when this impending attack takes
place, unless we have. for instance, gas
with which to fight gas?
And while our war with Germany is
lin progress (soon, We are given to un-
derstand) how utterly hopeless our
cause will be unless We have some irri-
tant to throw back into the eyes of the
Germans and blind them.
Only when we have prepared to burn
to a crisp, to smother to death and to
blind the fighters on the enemy side, pre-
sumably so they cannot see the flaming
projectile approaching, will We be fully
PREPARED.
We will, of course, have to be FULLY
prepared.
If il is true that the Germans are
using these methods at Verdun, the
fact goes TO show that Germany has
somebody engaged constantly in the in
vention of new devices of death, TO
MAKE DEATH MORE HORRIBLE.
Our scheme of preparedness MUST,
then. include some advanced idea Of
torture that will not only meet whatever
advanced idea Germany may bring
against US, when this war that is spoken
of has started, but which will OUTDO
lit.
How would it do to get the inventive
genius in our public school classes busy
on something that will bring about a
slow, agonizing death; something more
terrible and more fiendish than anything
that has been conceived so far.
We could offer monthly prizes, may
be- to keep the interest up in the schools
Anyhow. SOMETHING must be done
because we must outdo this foe that may
at this very moment be sailing upon
New York or San Francisco or Toledo
or Joe Bedore's on de Flat.
To prepare is to outdo-that has to
be kept in mind.
To outdo at time when all effort
seems to be bent toward making war
terrible, means that we must PRE-
PARE to make war more terrible. more
horrible, more CHASTITY, more like Hell.

Everybody knows that. in order TO
make the highest success in any
business il is necessary 10 master
the details of that business-to
study il in all its ramifications. But
many people need to be reminded
that IL is fully as important to study
oneself as IL is to study the busi-

In fact. there are few things in

save many a man from drifting into

II would save many a man from in

How many men today. as matter
