DR.. William 7. Hornaday, the presi-
dent OF the United States Junior
Naval reserve. in a recent address to
the New York cadets said
! AT the beginning Of the war the
United States navy was short lS,ooV
men and 1900 officers. This condition
had existed for years because we be-
lieved that no nation would attack us
II the Junior Naval reserve had beer
established ten years ago there wouid
not have been that shortage in the
navy and there would have been no
need for Consumption today or even
a whrlwind campaign all over the
country for recruits. The Junior re-
serve has established scores Of train
ing schools where boys learn some
thing before they grow to manhood so
that they can point gun.
II recently paid visit to the battle
ship Michigan, and | was astonished
to see so many boys on the battleship
and mere lads in the gun turrets point
ing the fourteen inch guns. | am glad
to say that the American nation is
having an awakening now that the
compulsory military bill has been
pissed It has been proved that ma
lions strike suddenly at other nations
that are unprepared The American
navy is our country's first ljna OF de-
Tense. and the United States Junior

Master of Ceremonies, Members of
Brooklyn Banner Lodge No. 5O22,
Household Ruth No. 1913 G. U. O. o.
f. and Friends.
1t affords me deal of pleasure to
come before this grand body, upon
this special occasion.
No other race has progressed as rap
idly as ours in the past fifty years of
freedom; and today the race stands
for right and liberty. Our backs are
now turned on the past, and our faces
to the future, and our trust in the
Almighty God.
The woman plays an important part
in the upbuilding of humanity.
1t behooves us to care for our in
mates as true hearted women will,
imbuid with spirit of peace, happi-
ness and prosperity" with an ambi-
ton to lead her sons, and daughters
to the topmost round of the ladder of
F. l.. and T.
1t Is woman's responsibility to
teach the young men, what it isc to be
true men, and what it is to be a loyal.
and a man in every sense of the word.
To teach the young women to be
womanly and that it is honorable to
work. Fashionable women and those
who live in self indulgence and for a
good time, are dead weight to their
parents, and blot on society.
In the agse of chivalry and knight
hood, the law of human nature were
expressed when the GROWING of the
victor was assigned to woman's hand
AS on the knightly fields, so it is
on the great battle fields of life.
We should never be discouraged, but
work more zealously for peace, hap
piness and prosperity. and thank God
that we have done very well.
May our heavenly Father bless each
branch, and members of the G. U. O.
Q. F. who have been faithful and la
bored hard for the best interest of
the Order.
May innocence, hope, and virtue be
our watchword. Let us push forward
this grand and noble cause.

THE SENATE FILBUSTER.

We are not prepared to roast Sen
ator LaFollette and his colleagues for
their attitude toward the Arnold
Neutrality Bill" because we have not
satisfied ourselves that they were not
right Certain we are that they were
within their rights and used no means
not permitted by the rules and prac-
tice Of the Senate. 1t is the only
means available 10 a minority even
with right on its side.
While it is true the majority of the
Senate favored the bill, and would
have SO registered their votes had an
opportunity been given them, it is by
no means certain that such unlimited
power in the hands of one man, even
though he be the President of the Uni
ted States, is Tor the best interest of
the country. The majority were hon
est. Why not accord to the minority
the same motives?

! Dear Editress:-
We haze been reading your little
paper with much interest for some
time and | noted with pleasure the
interest that the ladies have shown in
your column. 1t is the only one Of
its kind which we have observed in
this section and it is a pleasure to
know that the public is invited to dis
cuss current topics and events of in
terest in general.
In last week S issue a sister Ruth
demands the explanation of the lack
of interest on the part of the young
women. The very nature and tone of
her inquiry supplies one reason-&the
older women are entirely too critical.
She says that the young women of
today are interested in everything
else but works of the Ruths. 1t may
be so-but | feel free to say that the
their grandmothers and great grand
mothers only we have been given grea-
ter opportunity to express ourselves
and live more honestly according to
our convictions. There are many
things our mothers did which they ha-
ted, only because they feared the au-
thority of severe parent. Today
education has given us broader vision
and we do not do things because they
are expected of us but rather because
we want TO do them and believe them
to be right. Perhaps my own expert
ence will help to give light on this
subject.

When peace comes. and it is coming,
you may be sure that this war will
have ended the gambling in life's ne
cessities which we reward here with
vast fortunes. Whereas it ought to
be rewarded with a comfortable little
cell in prison. The human race is dull,
cbdurate, stupid. 1t is hard to get
anything into the collective brain of
humanity. Perhaps historians will
write of this war as a great blessing a
sort of civilizing trephining operation,
an opening Of the collective skull of
humanity to let in a ray Of cosmic
light.
