YOU CANNOT LIVE ALONE
nv NduNnv
by J. J. MUNDY.

1t is not a difficult matter for one to get
into the way of thinking that he should live
unto himself alone.
1t is not hard to get into a line OF thought
which encourages the idea that fellow
are not necessary to personal comfort and life
enjoyment and why should one seek or desire
friendship?
When this stage is reached life is fast los
ing the beautiful and attractive side.
The one who lives for himself merely gets
little real pleasure.
There must be some outside interests to put
zest into living
Companionship is the greatest agency for
enjoyment in mortal life.
But IL must be true companionship-the kind
which Is willing to sacrifice IL necessary,

THE secret of all power-military

and carry more than the other
fellow.
That is why sea power has always
been so formidable.
!, The prime function of navy is
PROTECTION OF TRANSPORTA-
TTON.
Whatever nation has power to
fontrol the lanes of the sea possesses
The power to protect it's own COM
merce from attack and it's own peo-
pie from isolation, and the power to
attack the commerce and to isolate
the people of enemy nations.
The blockade is the most cruel
and terrible weapon ever used in
war. It is intended to (and it does)
make invisible war upon women and
children and other -combatants,
whom it puts to death with the most
RgOnlZlng tOrtureS.
Millions of Americans were
wrought up to hysteria over the
cruelty of submarine warfare upon
passenger and freight ships. 1t was
terrible and it was cruel. But it
was not anything like as terrible
and as cruel as the blockade.
For every woman and child
drowned by the torpedoing of a ship,
there were ten thousand women and
children put to lingering and agoniz-
ing death by the blockade.
Any nation which is invaded or
blockaded successfully is going to
suffer the tortures of hell on earth.
And it doesn't make any differ
ence whether the hostile armies and
ships are German, Russian, French,
English, Italian or japanese. The in
vaded or blockaded people will be
put to the torture.
Therefore, any nation which has
The wealth to build a sure protection
against both invasion and blockade,
and does not do so, is wastefully
parsimonious and dangerously fool
fish.
A navy, bigger and more power
full than any that could come to at
tack, is that sure protection against
blockade and invasion.
All history proves that.
England is a small island king
dom, with an area less than that of
the State of Texas and a population
about three times that of the State
of New York. She has done moth
ing but make war upon other coun-
tries more than three hundred years
and has successfully stolen lands
and tribute money all over the world.
Naturally, she has always been
envied and hated. The English army
at he e never amounted to much
as armies of great Powers go.
And yet, bullying and stealing
everywhere, and having enemies
everywhere, no invader has set foot
on English soil since Norman Will
liam invaded and conquered the
Anglo -Saxons in their woods and
fens.
The English navy has been Eng
