COUNTRY MUST AWAKE TO
 PRESERVE ITS OWN LIFE
Speakers at Banquet of Painvle Businessmen Exhort Nation to Rise from Co uch of EaseSpirit of
 '76 Dead o ne Declares.

Claiming that the American his- tories used in our schools for genera corning the wars in which the United States has participated and the ex- purgation of the unpleasant facts in the recital of battles and the events which preceded and followed them, are in large measure responsible for the nations unpreparedness, Attorney
New Britain herald., 1917-04-26

1 things which may possibly prove helpful in the stupendous task which
 confronts our nation as we enter into
 the world conflict. There is, how
 ever, a very subtle danger that in this
 multitude of appeals we may be led to choose unwisely or will become
 confused and do nothing while wait ing to make up our minds. 7 Therefore. I would appeal to you 1 as intelligent citizens of the state of Connecticut and of the United States of America to keep your heads. It is
 an opportunity for concentrated thinking. We need to cultivate the i judicial temperament. No man can l tell us what day might bring forth. Whatever is ahead of us, let us be prepared by concentrated considera- tion of ourselves in relation to this crisis that shall enable us to know what we ought to do, and knowing, to do 1t.
 Furthermore. 1t doesn't seem to me that the question confronting the average man today is wholly a ques ton of mental attitude. believe tho heart should have . very prominent part in the solution of our problem. If we allow ourselves to act only in accord with wise mental Judgment without leaving any room for the exercise of our normal affections we may blunder seriously. This is no time for unreasoning hate or stupid misjudgment of our fellowmen. We may not be able to help a largo de- gree of resentment against the gov ernment with which we are at war but let us remember that tho German people as a whole are not to blame for much which we might lay at their doors. Especially let us exercise that degree of sympathy toward all who suffer irrespective of their national ity, which is in accord with our bet ter instincts and our nobler aSpira- tions. We are too great a people to lose our big world heart which no se- riousness even of conflict can ever cease to have room in it for all who need, as God knows the whole world today needs, the great affectionate sympathy of man for man 50 in dan- ger of being lost in this medley of unreasoning frightfulness
 And lastly, while we exercise our mental and moral gifts let us not hes- itate to keep ourselves wisely emn- ployed. We ought. under the weight of the great responsibility which rests upon Us as a nation, to do every days task with a greater degree of earnest ness and a finer perception of its sig nifhcance. It will be g wholesome sign if throughout our country we can cut out the luxuries and the foolish- ness and settle down to serious mind edness and earnest endeavor. I do not mean by this that we are to take serious a view of life that we lose all sense of humor or all desire for pleas ure, but do mean most emphattcally that we should learn to get rid of all unnecessary, silly and foolish waste of time, privilege and opportunity.
 '"The development of our character along these three lines will mean much for the future of our nation and everything for. our own souls' saliva tion.''
