The new ruler of Austro. Hungary de.

Europe, and one of his first eommuni.
cations to the Kaiser, following the
death of Franz Josef, advanced this
suggestion. The proposal worried Ber-

made the trip to Vienna to take the

which was announced as being in con

Charles to deter any offer of peace until

NEW YORK, December l7-ImPor-
tant speeches dealing with the question
of prepared ness and the necessity that
exists for an awakening of the Nation
to the exigencies Of the hour were de-
livcred yesterday, one by Secretary of
War Baker, who spoke before the
American Academy of Political and So
cial Science at Philadelphia, and for
mer Secretary Of War Lindley CARR
son, who made an impa ssioned address
here before the New York Lawyers
Club. Ill.,.
Secretary Baker addressed the Phila-
delphia society on "The Real Signifi-
canoe of Preparedness, " in his address
stating that the situation in which the
United States has found itself placed
by the events of the world has made it
plain to the thinking men Of the Nation
that there is real necessity for
America arming herself and becoming
prepared for any eventuality.
II Great Test Comes
eff the great test to which other
nations are now being put should ever
be put to this nation, and if the United
States were to be called upon to make
the supreme sacrifices for what we be-
lieve to be right that other nations are
now being called upon to make, it is
our duty and the duty of our govern
ment that that time shall find us pre-
pared" he said.
america stands in a world at arms
for peace. But, although we stand for
peace, some of the prices at which we
may continue to have it are too high
,, for us to pay and retain our national
honor, and it is then that we must be
prepared.
"We have had our lesson in the
necessity for military training of our
lesson"
Pacifcism Is Treason
Mr.. Garrison, speaking to an audi
ence of lawyers, had for his subject
Nationalism, and about this he de
veloped his military theme.
