THE WAY TO SECURE PEACE,

T. In order. to secure peace in the WOrl(
it has been necessary to fight for 1t
One great reason why our countr,
had no serious foreign wars for Sc
many years was that our people hat
fully demonstrated their courage IL
hard fought struggles. After the &C
count our forefathers gave of them
selves in the revolutionary war and
that of 1912 no one cared much to at
tack us. The splendid courage shown
by both parties in the civil war acted
as deterrent to nations having hos
tile inte149hs. ! s. -
We have been living comfortably
and, peacefully; during recent years
Germany did not believe-we had any
fighting ability left. She thought we
could be safely affronted.
( Having Hew undertaken 10 fight,
we must.do It in such a waySthat our
foes will remember u.s. The more
courageously we stand the shock of
arms, the more our physical and NOR
al stamina will be respected by the
bully nations. the less likely they will
eyer be to defy us again.

an Army of 500, 600 men in France early
this year and "a million and half ready

Chamberlain, chairman Of the committee,
that the military establishment had fall
en- down.
The revelation Of the Armys prepara-
tions. including many hitherto closely
guarded secrets, still remained the center
of interest at the Capitol today.
The Secretary's answer to the charges
against the War Department made a pro-
found impression on the members of the

of the matters outlined by himself.
The members of the committee were

go abroad today if the call came for them.
