THE ANSWER.

5PEE federal government formed by the thirteen
colonies expressly for the purpose of enabling them
L to make a common defense. 1t became defensive
union Under the constitution the federal not
only guaranteed each state against INVASION but it for
babe each to maintain troops ships of war; except
with the consent of the federal government.
Thus the states surrendered into the hands of the fed
eral government the function Of their defense and in
return the federal government guaranteed to each state
security from invasion instruction.
To make good it's guarantee of security congress in
1892 enacted that all able bodied male citizens between
the ages of Is and 49, should constitute the military forces
Of the nation and it made each liable to military service
within the confines of the United States This still the
law.
In order that universal liability to service should be
made effective congress under the law of 1885, reenaced
in 1908 and wdened i'll 1916 to include the national guard
and it's gave to the president the power call for
service the entire male czenry of military age and fit
in the event of invasion Instruction This power
the president may exercise without further act of
gress
Thus the federal government created for the mill
tary purpose of defending the states its president was
made comander-n-chief of the army and navy its first
president military man. and it's citizens of proper
age and fitness bound each to fight in the
defense
1t WILL therefore, be that at root we are essen
TALLY military nation, in the democratic sense of the
phrase and that are subject today ever to compu
sorry military service within territory, upon call
of the commander-in-chief.
This is sufficient answer to those who claim that in
making the modern preparations for defense,
we departing from non-ilitary traditions to become
miltarstic people.

DAYS..

Days are said to resemble the hairs
Of our heads to the extent of being
numbered. The only other resemblance
is that they get sticky in hot weather.
Days are still within the reach of all
and no costlier than heretofore, but
big nights always did come high. The
present day is the only one of any real
use, but as we look about us we see
that it is the least valued. This proves
that humans are somehow superior Gre
atures to the brutes. The weather is
the garment of the day and most of
US like a neat dresser. But days are
something like people and occasion
ally one whose personal appearance
might be improved is yet able to make
us happy.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 4-The
United States food administration is
sued the following bulletin today in
referring to the loss the Florida grape
fruit growers are suffering through
the lack of sugar to sweeten the fruit
for the tables:
The sugar shortage has affected
the Florida grape fruit grower, who
finds that because people have always
eaten powdered sugar on this delicacy
and cannot now get sugar during the
temporary famine. they are giving up
grape fruit for the time being. This
has led to a surplus Of good grape
fruit in the market at reasonable
prices and Florida growers think the
public ought to profit by such an OPP
portunity. Sugar is not so much q
necessity with grape fruit as a habit
Tree-ripened grape fruit il often pala-s
table without any sugar at all, and
many persons eat 1t straight. Many
persons also prefer grape fruit with
salt. instead of sugar. and the Florida
growers are undertaking a campaign
Of advertising to bring this little
known idea to the public. Cane syrup,
corn syrup. honey, maple syrup and
maple sugar are lsao excellent sweet
ings for grape fruit and oranges.

1t is not. It is. In fact. the inevitable
logic of what have said. Austria
Hungary is for the time being not her
own mistress, but simply the vassal
of the German government We must
face the facts as they are and act
upon them without sentiment in this
stern business The government OF
Austria Hungary is not acting upon
its own initiative or in response to the
wishes OF its own peoples. but as the
instrument Of another nation. We
must meet its force with our own and
regard the central powers AZ but one.
Tho war can be successfully conducted
In no othr way. The same logic would
lend also to q declaration Of war

also are the tools Of Germany. But
they are mere tools and do not yet
