GREAT NAVY AND ADEQUATE ARMY IS

Captain Richard p. Hobson's arri-
val In this city adds one more to the
long list of distinguished men who
have been the guest OF our citizens.
He was welcomed by prominent men
and will be fittingly entertained

Captain Hobson expresses himself
In vigorous and plain language on
the great question OF Americas part
In the military life of the world.
He said in part:
1T is a cause for national con-
graduation that the object lesson OF
the great. war has at last brought
home to the American people rea-
lization OF the vital and fundamental
Importance of making adequate pro-
vision for self preservation. All liv-
ing things, even in the plant king
dom must make such provision;
much less can great nation hope
to escape the law. In nature, the
animal that cannot fight must be
able to hide or run, The American
nation can neither hide nor run: It
must be able to fight. In civilized
society there are two general means
Of self preservation; the first and
primitive one is thst of individual
self defense. The latter is obvious
ly to be preferred wherever It can
be realized and we should make II
automatic in our national defense
