Ellisville are helpless the state is
equally so.
Furthermore, excitement is at such

WARS AHEAD ASKS
FOR PREPAREDNESS

MILWAUKEE. Wis, March "a
Maj Gen. Leonard Wood addressed
the Laymen's League of st. Marks
church last evening at a banquet of
the Milwaukee Athletic club, attended
by military and naval officers and
prominent citizens,
He spoke on preparedness, the care
OF returned soldiers and the benefits
of universal training. He declared the
national army assembled under the
draft had been a cross section of the
American people and its men the best
cause they were better than the people
as a whole, for all detectives had been
eliminated. He asserted the American
soldier had made a reputation for him
self because his was the courage of
reason and not an emotional courage,
lie appealed for a strong love of
country, for a strong family life and
for strong education In the schools, es-
pcctallN In the Countty's history and
asserted II peace was wanted in the
world 1t could not be obtained by the
apt and skillful application of verbal
messages
There is room in this country for
only one flag as | see 1t and that n
the Americas flag, and there is only
room in the grade schools OF the coun-
try for n language and that the Eng
lish language he said, For the
English language carries the best
thought OF democracy and self govern
ment OF any in the world.
III well-prepared, you are in a posi-
ton to arbitrate, but IL you are un-
prepared you are at the mercy OF the
individual or the nation opposing you.
II we had been prepared, ready to do
Nlr part, there probably would have
been no war-and the same is true
of England.
Wars are coming. The faker and
the charlatau have old you wars are
over but the history Of the world tells
you otherwise, A reasonable prepared
ness on your part, an international
tribunal II YOU win. or an international
