relations, but the aoutput of American
ships has already reached point at
which the Allied losses are practically
offset by our own construction.
The United States is now getting re-
suits in its military program, and
highly important results. The period
of organization and preparation is
over.
1t takes three or four times as long
to lay the foundations of skyscraper
as it does to erect the building. and
foundation work is not very impress
Sive building operation. The war fonn-
dations of tile United States are now
laid and the building is going up with
gratifying rapidity.
1t is not too much to expect that
the war will witness substantial i'll
crease in the force and power that the
United States can exert at the front.
HencefOrth there can he no valid eX-
cuse for delays or for mistakes in
planning. The machine must be kept
moving at greater and greater speed.
The War Department is using good
Judgment in gradually abandoning its
policy of secrecy and letting the world
know what the United States is actu-
ally doing to make its resources effect
i've in terms Of military strength.
| Whatever reason there was for silence
| while the planning was under way, the
more that can safely he told now the
| better. Let the Germans know what
we have done and what we are doing.
The more they know about it the less
they will like it. Every division OF
| American troops that is sent to France
means another nail in the coffin of au
tocracy. and that kind of news cannot
be too widely circulated in Germany
We have beaten the German genera
staff at its submarine game. We have
already sent the troops to France that
the general staff insisted could not bt
sent. We have managed to feed the
British and French in spite of the gen
eral stats insistent declaration thai
they would starve We must now hea
them on the land as we have heater
them on the sea.
1t is well enough not to be too Opt
mistic. especially as to the duration o
The war: but it is wiser to he Opt
mistic than pessimistic. This war i
going to be won by men who believ'
in their cause who believe in them
selves and who believe in the ultimat
triumph Of democracy.

There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for a greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the privi-
leges of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies Of German kinship aud
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations Of
their sworn Oaths of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu-
ton Of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, pOtentate or sovereignty; that
he will support and defend the COnsti-
tuition and laws of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle, and bear true faith and allie
glance to the same.
False to Their oaths."
All these naturaliZed citizens who
ure taking part in obstruction to our
'-,,vernment in the conduct of the war
are false to their Oaths, are fOrfeiting
their rights of citizenship, are repudi-
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people of the United States have well
coined them to the liberty and the op-
portunities Of this free land. We must
believe that in many cases this is done
because Of failure to understand what
this war really is
This is war of defense. 1t is per-
fectly described in the words of the
Constitution which established this mo-
ton, ITO provide for the common de-
Tense" and ITO secure the blessings Of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
The national defense demands not
merely force. but intelligence. 1t re-
quires foresight, consideration of the
| policies and purposes of other nations,
] understanding of the inevitable or
probable consequence of the acts Of
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
| and when 1t will be oO-late, and prompt
action before it is too late.
BY entering this war the United
States awaited itself of the very last
opportunity to defend itself.
