a warning that the people OF the
United States must not become ever
confident in the belief that they can
keep this Nation intact without all

Telling of the history of this CON
tinent and the loss of it ny the In

must not take too much for granted
regarding that we can hold that
which we have any more than the
neople before us could hold what they
had.
There are on every side" he con
tinued, reasons why people should
not like us" He added that every
citizen has a patriotic duty to per
form.
Gen. Summerall told of j. ing sent
to Halifax with a sealed message for
Gen. Pershing during the World War
and of finally locating the latter in
Europe. 1t was a story which Illus
trated the absolute secrecy main
tanned by the Army and Navy heads
during the war regarding the move
ment of troops. sailing of transports
and the whereabouts of commanding
officers. Gen Summerall declared he
did not know to this day what the
message to Gen. Pershing was.
