BOWS HEAD IN
 HONOR OF WAR VETERANS

memoratlon Of those who died in the great cause of liberty. If we should not revere these men. they would have died In vain and their time and ours would have been wasted.
 "The Civil War was only an incl dent in what Seward called "The Irrepresslble Conflict" conflict cen turles old between ignorance and knowledge, freedom and slavery. This conflict began in ancient Egypt, hundreds yes thousands of years be- fore the birth of Christ.
 Moses, leading the children of Is. real from Egypt across the Red Sea to safety. was only one incident Of this great conflict, a conflict for li- berty of body as well as for liberty of thought We should remember this conflict as one of the greatest struggles in the cause of peace and liberty
 Preparedness.
 If great army and great navy mean that we shall have peace, then we should be for a great army and a great navy. This. however, does not always prove to be the case, as the greatest army and the greatest navy in Europe are now engaged In ti tanic struggle for supremacy.
 "Thls nation needs preparedness preparedness to maintain her place at the head of the list of great na tions of the world as the greates exponent Of liberty, peace. and educa ton on the globe
 "This preparedness should be along the lines Of education of the young men of the nation. rather than fl the maintenance of huge army ant navy. Build a large navy. train thl young men to bear arms and preparN for the quick mobilization Of million of men on short notice, and you vii have peace and liberty.
