Another Ford Achievement.

President Wilson was reluctant to
adopt a wise military policy for the
United States because he did not think
that popular sentiment would support
him. With the prospect Of our ertry

and with the certainty that as we went
in unrdady we should suffer unneces-
sarily. the administration stood still.
probably seeing in some measure what
was needed but not having the conyic-
ton Of its Vision.
We know well enough how this delay
in preparation proved costly to the
United States. We remember how the
administration finally conquered polit-
ical timidity and pacifist inclination
and how the president went before the
people asking them to accept military
preparation as a necessity Of national
security.
It was late hour then and because
the government after all did nothing
but propaganda work and did not take
any steps the waste OF time later was
presented to the country Ia an ex-
pensive bill. No government could have
been more reluctant to meet issues

ceding month, Quintilis, had beeA
changed to July In honor Of JnliuA
Caesar, and the senate sought to prs
pitiate Emperor Augustus ~ permit
ting him to claim a similar honor.
Augustus, who held rather high
opinion Of himself, was not satisfied,
however; the month OF Julius had
thirty one days, while his own month
had but thirty. This was intolerable
to his vanity. So he proceeded to flch
a day from poor old February and add
it to the month Of August. Ever since
then all nations deriving their civil
ization from the Romans have COM
memor,ated the name ard fame and
vanity Of Augustus, but he chose that
month to bear his name because 1t was
in Sextilis that his greatest good for
