of uncertainty and doubt well able to
defend herself and her rights than to
enter it virtually unarmed?
At the conclusion Of the European
war don't you expect the nations now
involved in that struggle will have
far more respect for the United States
and her rights if she is thoroughly
prepared to cope with any situation
than If she was only partically pre-
pared to defend herself?
England has more than once violat-
ed American rights on the high seas,
as history records, and had the Unit

made England recognize the equal

our shores from invasion, but man has
practically overcome that barrier and
were the war in Europe not raging
any nation on that continent could

small force but an army large enough
to keep foot-hold on the coast until
transports could. bring over another
army equally ~ large.
England landed 10000 men in the
Dardanelles at one time when she
already had over 100000 men in the

land 25O,ooo men in this Country in
times Of peace just as easily, and in
addition she would have 100000 train-
