Dear: have proven to you that 1

Have you proven the same to me?
Hell itself (you are right) may not
be the barrier. But have promised
not to go to your home, and / am
afraid not to break the promise. My
prayer has been answered.

say hell could not keep me from
you' Many a woman has sacrificed

J call such a man as you 'superman.
MANY a man has sacrificed his

Yes, l am a superwodan and you
are superman. OF course know
that. / know you and surely know
myself. You have yet to know, to
realize what this means. But beware;
the realization is too great. it dare
not be. Your heart is not torn out
yet, but know superwoman is too
much for man"

words were: Il am afraid 10 put

The Navy Our First
War Concern

The United States faces both
oceans, and has for nearly century
stood for the protection Of South
America as well as North America
In the development of Independent
republics. This country has had
more reason. we repeat, than even
Great Britain. for taking and hold
ing a position Of naval predomin-
ance. Many were the mistakes we
made in the period Immediately fol-
lowing our Civil War. From the
standpoint Of our larger interests
perhaps the greatest Of these mis-
takes was to permit the rapid de-
cline Of our maritime interests. We
had invented the monitor, the IRON
clad, the submarine. the typical riv-
or gun boat. improved naval artil-
Berry and many other adjuncts Of sea
power, and our navy through the
quiet pressure Of the blockade had
cut off European supplies and had
thus saved the Union.
Just before the Civil War. our
navy had been relatively weak while
cur merchant marine was very I'M
portant. At the end Of the war
Europe had acquired most Of the
merchant shipping. while we possess
cd the strongest navy. We should
have kept and increased our naval
strength and rank. and adopted .
policy that would have rebuilt our
merchant marine.
II we had pursued this course. and
had assumed q more generous and
active championship Of democratic
principles and Of the doctrines VI
