DR.. W. G. Jack testified taht his car
was Michigan sociable runabout,
carrying three persons on one seat,
and was running on three cylinders.
When nearing Mr.. Blackstone car
outside of Perryville witness blew his
horn three times before Blackiston
pulled to the side near the culvert.
Neither car was running at excessive
speed and neither touched the other.
His car showed no sign of contact and
positively did not strike the other. He
knew nothing of the accident till DR..
Benson or Mr.. Squier said, "Those
people are in trouble" On going back
to the culvert, Mrs. Blackiston told
witness she had begged her husband
not to run fast. A half-grown boy
Norman McCardelD was on the
scene. and Blackiston said he had
struck his car and he could prove it
by the boy. Witness said, "if you are
going to force me into law suit,
would you be satisfied to have your
car repaired Realizing that Black
iston was after money. he stepped

his car to the culvert and found it 81

car overturned across the road. DR..
Jack put OF the brakes and backed his
car about 40 yards to the culvert. DR..
Jacks car was on the extreme left of
the concrete. Later examination show

slowed down before the cars passed,
about 40 yards east of the culvert.
He could not judge the snoed of either

THE NATION is SHOCKING

1t Is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared. There
Is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les

our available regular troops
(less, | believe, than 100000 are

have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that Ia, we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in

OF the past three years, 1t II
hexeusable that We should find
ourselves in this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen. who
with fine patriotism responded

praise. But l think It little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
oftces and their professions for
such q purpose. THIS. however,

tional Guard were at peace

one-half the required strength.
II was necessary to bring IN
recruits. for the most part raw

percentage OF the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours Of military drill. and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families we're sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency. comparatively

MAINTENANCE OF

Had this Government by the
use of both informal and formal

doubt that when we said "strict

cisely what we said. and that

cate that position, , am conf e
dent THAI there would have been
no destruction Of American lives
by the sinking Of the Lusitania.
There, we had ample notice; in
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
notice. Instead OF whiting
away our formal statements by
equivocaI conversations, we need
