A cMpabe government.

Leslie M. Shaw: I have a son as

it will unless it prepares itself to en-
force peace, that son should oner his

that will be required. II he should fatl
to enlist, the government will have the
right to conscript him; but the curse
of God will and should rest upon that
nation and that people that will call
its best blood to the colors without
having first taught them to take care
of themselves, and that will not furn-
ish them as good arms as they are
forced to face; that will not give them
ammunition to last till the fight IL
over; that will not cover their posi-
lions and movements by field artillery
equal in quantity and OF as long range
as that of the adversary: that will not
provide aircraft and submarine craft
in short, that will not do all that hui
man resource and human skill can do
to make their defensive position ten
able and their offensive movements
successful. Anything less than the
best is absolutely worthless. Any pre-.
paredness less than adequate prepared
ness is useless, and war waged with
antiuuated or insufficient equipment is
worse than murder, for it subjects
those who heed the call Of duty and
who obey the command of the country
to ignominious defeat and shameful
slaughter.
