applications from the sick and from
non-residents are expected, are au-
thorized to establish. such sub

The power against which we are
arrayed has sought to impose it's will
upon the world by force. To this end
it has increased armament until 1t
has changed the face of war. In the
sense in which we have been wont to
think Of armies there are no armies
in this struggle. There are entire
nations armed. Thus the men who
remain TO till the soil and man the
factories are no less a part Of the
army that is in France than the men
beneath the battlefiags. 1t must be
so with us. 1t Is not an army that
we must shape and train for war. 1t
is a nation. To this end our people
must draw close in one compact
front against common foe"
