Geography is the reason for the differ

The United States Is protected by a
far greater force than all the military
forces of Europe combined-thousands of
miles of surging, stormy sea-
To transport troops in sufficient num-

well-nigh impossible achievement.
But when IL comes 10 Denmark and
Holland, an imaginary line. seen actually

starvation.
The little armies Of these lovely little
lands remind one of those the children set

It's geniuses as assets, and private indi-

Very bad business, and we will now
