Now that American vessels. are

ton of the world will be more eager,
~ awaited by our people. We shall
hope for success Of our fighters, but
IL will be strange II they do not meet

implicit confidence In the fighting
ability of our men, but we must not
overlook the fact that the other fell

rent, which In those days Was of corn
