household word among all the races

his feet. In the days of war he was
acclaimed as the worlds saviour
! When the waves of hate were delug-

war cry was that men should fight

+ This is the man against whom
there has been such a storm of de-
nllnciation as has been rarely heard
IL this land. He has been desperate

in one year what Germany had been

whe1 things were desperate in the
extreme. To get en- army in the field
quickly was the supreme necessity.
We had to build a, conquering army in
