This country has been so big and so
proud heretofore that many millions
of Americans have come to believe
that it would be selfish on our part
to insist on taking care of the best
interests of the United States regard
this as a missionary country with
nothing to lose. Hence, that the coun-
try is in shape to bind up the wounds
OF other people.
The American people are like the
gadding mother, who has time to see
to everybody's children excepting her
own. Such mothers generally come
to grief ultimately with their own
children. The United States may
ONE to grief in regard TO her own
affairs. Suppose strong military
government in Europe should win
the European battles and propose her
own terms of peace, and compel the
acceptance of the same. Suppose that
such terms should require European
disarmament excepting as to herself.
Then the triumphant government
would be in shape to attack any part
of North or South America. Would
not these be rather sad events for the
reople of the United States? The re.
| ply is generally that there is no dan
gel of any such thing. And the re-
ply to the last assertion is that thir-
