Navy League, Il implore the American
people promptly to make themselves
strong that their words and their rights
will be respected in the world. To do this,
we must be prepared TO act; for at present
it is admitted that we are not prepared
to act effectively. and abroad 1t is be-
lieved that we shrink from the very
thought of action The vital necessity at
this moment is that this condition be
promptly changed.
Several hundred American citizens
men, women and children, have been done
to death on sea and land without cause or
provocation. At least two States of the
Union have been invaded by armed forces
and not only civilians but our uniformed
soldiers have been shot down upon our
own soil. The first of the essential ele-
ments of American individual citizen, in
so far as he needs to he protected against

important place must be held in all cir
cumstances. The fact that more than
700 unwounded French prisoners We're
taken and that the French losses in
killed or wounded We're far greater is
proof that the French plan of evacuation
could not be carried out as intended.

RADIuM NEVER SEEN IN NATURE

Radlum is "A metal and Is described as
having a white metallic lustef. 1t has
been isolated only once or twice and few
people have seen it. Radium is ordinarily
obtained from it's ores in the form OF
hvdrouS sulphate, chloride, or bro
mide, and it is in the form OF
these salts that ii is usually sold and used.
These are all white or nearly white sub
stances. whose appearance is no more re-
markable than common salt or baking
powder. Radium is found in nature I'm
such exceedingly small quantities that ii

radium will never be found in large guam
titv because il is formed by the decay OF
uranium, n process which is wonderfully
slow. and radium itself decays and
changes to other elements so rapidly that
