Defines Militarism.
"Militarsm," he said, does not
consist of having many soldiers. Mill
tarism consists in the whole nation
blndly accepting to be ruled over in
military fashion; all obeying what
ever the order; all believing the word
whatever be that word The whole
forces OF the nation are thus placed
in the hands of single man, response
Bile to nobody, who may use them at
his pleasure, the whole machinery
thus possessing an extraordinary de-
structive force, and all the individuals
composing it having to act, speak and
believe as they are told
America Remembers.
Abiding to the assistance given the
struggling American colonies by
France in 177S, Mr.. Jusserand said:
you are a nation that remembers,
SO are we, The date 1873 is still en-
graved in your hearts. I can assure
you that so long as there is a France
all the inhabitants of her soil will
keep engraved in their hearts the
date 1917 when America decided to
come in and help win the day for
liberty
Senator Lodge said that if the Ger
man scheme of world conquest had
not ended at the Marne, England
would have been the first victim OF
the conaueror and the United States
the next.
Marine First Step.
ITO defeat the German plan of
world conquest the Marne was the
first step" he said. "The second step
is to put the central powers in place
where it shall be impossible for them
ever to renew the horrors which they
let loose upon the world in 1914 For
ar-in
today. There must be no truce and
no bargaining
Asserting that Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey stand on a par" and that

Of, the world"
