America is not out of the woods

as they will-until we are fully over

of the greatest men of the world and
the apostle Of preparedness whose
advice we should have listened to

WAR" said this speaker, nova

gineering and manufacturing and
hundreds of thousands Of guns and
tons Of ammunition can not be made
in a day. To do in a year what It
takes twenty-five years to do is i'm
possible"
This was in answer to those critics,
said the speaker, who bemoaned the
"lack of alacrity" with which the
war was being conducted. .
But" fairly shouted the aged in
ventor, referring to the swarms of
American fighters and munitions
which are being sent across, Gods

all his celestial pull can not divert
