1t is something only if it consists of all

American Love for Efficiency.

These are very great things to de-
fend. and wherever they are attacked
America has at least the duty of ex-
ample. has at least the duty of such
action as it is possible for her with
self-respect to take. in order that these
things may not he neglected or thrust

the thing that we are In love with in
America is efficiency. not merely bust
ness efficiency. not merely efficiency
in manufacture and the professions.
not merely the raising of great crops
and the getting of our treasure out of
the bowels Of the earth and the manu-
facture of our raw materials into the
things that are most useful to civili-
zation-that efficiency merely under

something a great deal bigger than
that.
We want the spirit of America to be

Real Spirit of America.

/ do not believe that the women of
this country are interested in national
defense merely in order that they may
be physically protected. If that is all
we cared for there would not be any
great spirit of America. the flag would
not stand for anything if it was merely
Il roof over my head or bulwark
against somebody's attack upon me.
The flag stands for something for
which We are all trustees and the
great part that America has to play
| in the world. And what is the great
part that America has to play in the
world? America stands. first of all. for
the right of men to determine whom
they will obey and whom they will
serve, for the right of political free
dom and peoples sovereignty. And
anybody that interferes with this con-
ception by touching the affairs of
America makes it necessary that Amer
lea should assert her right.
America has not only to assert her
| rights to her own life. within her own
| borders. but she has to assert the right
of equal and just treatment of her citi-
zens wherever they go. And she has
something more than that to insist
upon. because she has made up her
mind long ago that she is going to
stand. so far as this whole western
hemisphere is concerned. for the right
| of peoples to choose their own politics,
| without foreign influence or inter
| ference. So she has gigantic task
| which she cannot shirk, without dis
grace. and in ordinary circumstances
it has not been necessary for her to
| think of force, because everybody
knows that there is latent in her as
much force as resides anywhere in the
world. This great body of a hundred
| million people has an average Of in
| telligence and of resourcefulness prob
ably unprecedented in the history of
the world. Nobody doubts that
Time Needed to Prepare.

Preparedness for Lexington.

Concealed arms arc not the constitu-
tional privilege of anybody, but obvi-
GUS arms are the constitutional privi-
lege of everybody in the United States.
for the very conception of our policy is
that the country is going to be taken
care of by the men who live in the
country. Every audience still. after the
passing of more than hundred years,
is stirred by stories Of the embattled
farmers at Lexington, the men who al
ready had arms, who seized them and
came forth in order to assert the indie
pendence and political freedom OF
themselves and their neighbors. That
is the ideal picture of America-the
rising of the nation.
But do we want the nation to rise I'M

furnish material for powder and shot
before they realize how to defend them
selves at all? ] am not going to ex
pound to you any particular plan for
training citizens. because the trial of
the plan is not the important part. The
important part is that it is necessary
that we have a plan. have it early, and
put it into execution at the earliest
possible moment. by which we will
have great reserve of men sufficiently
to be ready for it when called. These
are the things we are going to have

of opinion as to how the thing ought
to be done; but there is not going to

Know What War Means.

|
They know what war means. what
it will cost, what it will cost to them
and to those who are dependent upon
them. There will be bred in them no
spirit of military ardor. There will
be bred in them the sober spirit of
being ready to defend peace and fend
off war to make good the safety. the
ideals of America and the performance
of all the great tasks which she has
set herself; and there will be bred in
them also something very useful-the
spirit of discipline. the spirit Of
obedience. the consciousness of hav-
ing some kind of economic connection
with the great body polite which they
profess as citizens to serve. There will
much mistaken, great fountains Of
sober sentiment which will affect
their neighbors, as well as themselves.
Americans will be a little less careless
a little less thoughtful of their own
peculiar and selfish interests. and
something of the old spirit of seventy
six" which was not the spirit of ag-
gression, but the spirit of love of
country, and pure and indebted patri-
otism will grow stronger and stronger
in this country that we love.
Asks Revival of Patriotism.
So, my fellow citizens, what / am
pleading for with the utmost confidence
is the revival of that great spirit of
patriotism for which hall like this
stands as a symbol. 1 was saying the
other night that it was a very inter-
esting circumstance that we never
hang lads yardstick up over the
mantelpiece, but we do hang his mus
ket up when he is gone. Not because
the musket stands for a finer thing
hov ha a
brutal thing to kill. But the musket
stood for the risk of life for something
greater than the lads own self. 1t
stood for infinite sacrifice to the point
Of death. and it is that sentiment of
Willingness to die for something great
err than ourselves that we hang the
musket up over the mantelpiece and
think it a sacred record of the high
service of the family to which we be-
long.
1t is for that reason that we erect
buildings like this. 1t is for that rea-
son that we make monuments to those
who. serve US and forget. themselves.

the rest of the world. 1t is very hard
to describe it briefly. 1t is very hard
to describe it in quiet phrases. The
world is on fire, and there is finder
everywhere. The sparks are liable to
drop anywhere. and somewhere there
may be material which we cannot pre-
vent from bursting into flame. The
whole influence of passion is abroad in
the world. and it is not strange that
men see red in such circumstances
What a year ago was incredible. has
now happened. and the world is so in
the throeS of this titanic struggle that
no part of it is unaffected. You know
what is happening: YOU know that by
a kind of improvidence which ought to
be very uncharacteriStic of America
we have neglected for several Sener-
atoms to provide the means to carry
our own commerce on the seas, and
therefore. being dependent upon other
nations for the most part to carry our
commerce. we are dependent upon
other nations now for the movement of
our commerce, when other nations are
engaged in the grip of war. So that
every natural impulse of our peaceful
life is embarras sed and impeded by
the circumstances of the times and
wherever there is contact there is apt
to be friction.
Wherever the ordinary rules of com
merce at sea and of international re
lationShip are apt to be thrust aside or
ignored there is danger of the more
critical kind of controversy Where
nations arc engaged. AS many nations
arc now engaged. they are peculiarly
likely to be Stubbornly Steadfast in

PARKING OF AUTOMOBILES
TO BE HEARING SUBJECT
Grievance Concerns Regulations at
18th Street and New York
Avenue.

Grievances of business men in the
vicinity of 14th street and New York
avenue against the operation of the
parking regulations are to be aired in
open hearing at the District building
Commissioner Brownlow said today
that the protest against the regula-
tions, signed by a large number of
business men in that section, would
be taken up at a hearing. though he
could not say what date would be set
for the meeting. AS the Commission
ers are now busy with public utility
hearings, 1t may be a week or longer
before they can get around to the park
ing matter.
One of the conditions complained of
is the establishment of fifteen minutes
as the limit an automobile can be
parked on 14th street. Complaint also
is made that business men frequently
have to drive their cars four and five
blocks from their places of business
before they can find parking space.
Other alleged unsatisfactory condi-
tions are cited, the protest stating that
the application of the parking regula-
tions to the vicinity in question is
absurd, unjust and direct inter
ference with. the rights Of law abiding
and representative business men,"
