Preparedness

frepareuneSS IS d SuDJecI III which every true and loyal citizen of this great country ought to be interested. It is a subject which should appeal to the minds and hearts of every lover of that great liberty which we have so long enjoyed. It should stir the souls of those who consider the rights and hon. or of their country of any value; for unless we are prepared, we can not hope to defend them.
 It is not with glad hearts that the people of this country pre- pare for war, but gladly they would have prepared for it, had it been within their power. Our president did not willingly or gladly throw down the gauge of battle to the German kaiser, for he realized. perhaps, more than we what war means to this na- tion. He did all that could be done consistent with national honor and dignity to avert the storm, but. to no avail. War has been thrust upon us. Then let us stand by our president and prepare for it.
 We love the liberty for which our forefathers fought and died, and we must love it and trans init it to future ages. As we are the heritors of the freedom of our sires, so, we must be the channel through which this free dom must reach countless mil lions yet unborn Only to per- petuate the blood. bought liberty of our fathers, would we pre- pare to plunge into the greatest war that the world ever saw, to sacrifice our fathers and bro- thers, and to suffer the agony of body and soul that it will bring upon us.
 We do not desire the glamour of military fame nor to gather prestige by the triumph of armed hosts on bloody fields. Neither do We desire to fight the com mon people of Germany. for we bear them no hatred. The great masses of the German people are the victims of a false prophecy, of false standards, and were drawn into this war by the kais- CT in his mad desire to rule the world.
 We desire only to defend the rights and honor of the nation we love and to preserve the lib- erty that we enjoy, but We can not do this unless we are pre- pared. There should be equip ped a great army and a power ful navy ready to withstand the enemy and ward off the shot and

she may be ready to face the enemy and defend our rights.
 We can not all go to the battle front and fight for our country, but there is something else to be done; though less spectacular, it is just as essential. There is an- other line to defend, other bat ties to be fought. We can be soldiers and remain at home, for there is a second line of defense in which every true and loyal citizen who does not go to war holds a place. Without this sec ond line of defense which must furnish the sinews of war for those on the firing line there would soon be no defense at all. Should we of the second line falter and fail, the first line must inevitably crumbIe. Our intrepid soldiers must be fed and food can not be obtained from foreign countries. In fact, we shall be compelled to furnish a goodly portion of the food and munitions needed by our allied armies.
 We can and must supply these needs from the soil that we are defending by doing all in our power to assist her in bringing forth her most bountiful har- vests. The blow boy in the field is as true a patriot as his brother holding his place in the battle line facing the shot and shell of the enemy. The wife and mother at home toiling in the garden and in the house, economiZ'ng and sacl .ticing that she may help to supply these needs is as true a soldier in her country's service as her husband on the battlefield, no matter how valiant he nay be. The delft fingers of factory girls that serve in the great munition plants just as truly do their country's serv- ice as their brave brothers hurI- Ing the shot against their coun- try's foes.
 Surely we should all be willing and glad to assist in this cause. if not for our own sake and for the love of our country, surely for the love of our fathers and brothers .and countrymen who must hazard their lives in de- fense of our rights.
 Dear classmates, this is a cause in which we all may assist, a way in which we may help our nation in preparing to defend our rights and honor and to overcome our enemies. Then let us show our love and patriotism for her and be true and loyal soldiers.
 But, dear classmates, there is something else for which we must be prepared and which concerns us individually. per laps, more directly than any other subject. and that is the Journey of life that now opens out before Us IT We are pre- pared for this jomney, we are prepared to serve our country in war and in peace We have spent many days and months of toll in this school for no other purpose than to fit ourselves for the great journey that lies out before us, But during this time. we have only built foundation upon which to prepare. We have developed our mental powers to some extent, buf have just reached the point where we may begin to realize dimly some of the opportunities and the re- responsibilities of life: what God intended that it should be for us.
 The truth IS thrust upon us that life is really just what we
