1t is these treacherous enemies of

danger from the foreign foe. It is
the Hun within our gates from whom
we have most to fear, for he is the
tool and the ally Of the Hun without.

wealthy man who organizes peace
societies or fits out peace ships in
order to bring out peace that would
be in the interest Of the brutal ag-
gressor and would infliet lasting
shame and wrong upon US and upon
all civilized mankind: or whether he
