A freight motor car with three

We believe in compulsory military training and
a much larger standing army than Gen, Pershing

ment was always going to permit such reckless
waste Of public money as it did during brief

continue the old policy of never being ready, and
when trouble comes spring to arms overnight, :
as w. j. Bryan advocated few years ago. The
