Let them rejoice that America IL bent

assumption that God IL on the side OF

taDlishment OF force In the place OF
purity Of power In the place OF peace

spirit OF brotherhood and OF mutual
advancement for the peoples-sNch Is
the peace that IL being wrought out.
The United States has placed its all
on the altar, realizing that sacrifice
Is the noblest virtue VI a nation.
Hence. while exuberance may not

filled with praise over the mighty
manner In which the mind OF the Al
mighty IL being made clear In the
movements OF the times; with the
United States playing a leading part
In its impressive unfolding.

The following theory IS advanced

tors had TO be constantly on the alert
to avoid being killed by enemies or
animals Noise Of fighting. therefore,

Since man Is q fighter. At a hostile
sound the caVeman would stealthily
approach the scene. If an enemy
