here within month. Some years ago
I saw openly published in Germany a
pamphlet written by a member of the
German general staff containing we'll
worked out plan for the conquest of
the United States which the German
staff regarded as easy and for the
levying of enormous contributions at
our expense"
Hot Shot for Preparedness.
Saying that the preparedness meas

been carried out three years ago, the
colonel declared that IF Germany
could land a single small army of 50,-
900 men in this country we would be
wholly unable to match it for we have
neither artillery nor airplanes that
could be put against them. If at this
moment our allies suddenly made
peace, we would be a helpless prey to
Germany or any other first-class
European or Asiatic military power"

Such touches as these from Colonel
Roosevelt We're what the crowds
seemed to like the best:
Il would have fought at the drop
of the hat after the sinking of the
Lusitania." 49,
And again; "a nation which won't
fight to protect its unarmed men,
women and children is not worth call,
ing a nation"
GERMANY" said Colonel Roosevelt,

full and that we won't fight. Ger

German, but feels even a deeper con-
tempt for them than the contempt we
ought to feel for the, pacifist and his

IF we do not show we have the
power to overcome our foes. you can

sary to show the power of self defense

the United States, but we are also
fighting for the rest of mankind, for

When Colonel Roosevelt discussed
the nations lack of preparedness he
drew a comparison with China.

a curse to herself, but a danger spot

1.-The citizen who does not stand
with US is a traitor" continued Mr.
Roosevelt.
After praising Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, who sat near him, to whom
he declared belonged all the credit for
the officers training camps because
he had given the Plattsburg camp his
