PATRIOTISM AND PREPAREDNESS
To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-In case of foreign invasion
which seems imminent as an I'M
pending crisis--1 think you will agree
with me that active and actual
preparation is the best means to the
end to be obtained. Appointing De-
tense Committees and holding Navy
League meetings, may be all right
and may serve a purpose. but, In
themselves they are but palliative.
Activity Is the essence OF wisdom az
this time. when war clouds are how
ering over our land. and no man can
tell when the storm may burst in all
its fury. In our industrial institu-
tions there are former soldiers, both
officials and suboriinates, who are
both qualified and willing 20 do their
share IN drilling green men and put
ting them in condition for an active
defensive home guard. No doubt
guns could be procured from the Ma
tional Governme-S. with which 20
drill. and, ! assume the officials Of the
industrial establishments would be
willing to renumerate the men for
the time consumed in drilling for this
service. as the benefit derived would
be mutual
OF course this would require time
and hard work both on the part OF
the men and officers who have the
work 10 hand. Very few men. unless
they be spineless Jelly fishes. will OBJ
ject to taking up this work. which
would put them in condition to pro-
tect their homes and loved ones. n
the necessity we're to arise
A million soldiers overnight may
work out in a W. J. Bryan brain. but
not in reality.
II requires work and time TO make
an efficient soldier from a Iaw re-
cruit and efficient soldiers We must
have TO go up against men who are
hardened and Injured TO a soldiers
life. for this is the kind Of men an
Invasion will bring to our shores.
Mayor Price has appointed two hun
dred and fifty selected citizens as a
Defensive Committee to meet and
talk over the situation. and, probably
20 put Il in a concrete form. Having
some former soldiers and officers on
this committee and enough men to
make up two full companies. and
some over to form nucleus for a
third would II not be we'll for these
men TO Join the prospective home

''Avaunt! How dare you dig that mas

Four sturdy women warriors, guests
of an Orange street hotel. yesterday
routed a gang of workmen employed
by the city laying sewer pipe and it
was only the timely arrival of City
Commissioner Lew Smith. in charge
of the work. that saved the workmen
from a more severe tongue flashing.
The workmen began the excavation
in force but the four women soon as
sumed charge, threatening that ii the
work was not stopped by some means
or other that they would stand with
their feet in the hole il necessary. Be
fore the arrival of Mr.. Smith verbal
missiles began to fly through the air
at a speed never attained by a twenty
two-inch long-range gun and with a
continuity never shown in a rapid-fire
gun.
When Mr.. Smith arrived he took
the responsibility of Hague Tribunal,
denounced the laborers as an invading
force and commended the fair ones for
standing up for their rights but assur-
ed them there was no malaria Turk
ing there. He told them the Health
department had made many tests in
this direction and always drew a
blank so far as malaria is concern
