Our high officials have done well
with the handicap imposed upon
them by a w-moving legislative
body bat we are here to declare very
solemnly spd very emphatically that
the American people, as a whole, have
never awakened to the knowledge
that America is In peril-a peril

We must prepare for action in the

That is why we have urged an army
Of four millions Of men. That is why
we urged at the outset of the trouble
an immediate call for volunteers for
an army OF defense-an army which
would make up in enthusiasm what
1t might lack IN military training and
which would have been quickly trans
formed into fighting force capable
Of beating off all possible invasion.
America must have a trained and

of resorts where the pleasure-seekers
and rich are lounging away these
summer days These good people

Americans must realize that, II they
do not strike hard and promptly and
in great force. this war will drag on
for years, to. the wrecking of cfvli-
cation, the starving of millions of
civilians, and the loss on the battle
field OF millions OF men,.
In order to keep America in its
semi somnolent state Berlin has re-
Trained from sinking ships on our
coast and has not permitted other
forms of offensive action which might
have been readily undertaken by sub
marines of the larger type. She would
do nothing to stir us up until ready
