But Al the present time--in the ap

We are on the verge OF the greatest
crisis this country has ever passed
thru since the firing on Fl. Sumpter
The President realizes this better
than any OF us in Canon City. He
has been face TO face with IL longer
than we know. He is preparing 10
meet IL in the best way he knows
how.
As to his method OF preparation you
may not agree because you do not
know. II is not his business 10 tell
the world what Is being done.
But rest assured that ten times
more is being done TO prepare. this
country for the great events coming
than any newspaper is telling the

its kind in the west. The city Off
