president Coolidge told us last

Therefore, [ know that I can

Of this organization when / say that
they are totally unacquainted with

being normal human mothers and
wives. they do not believe in war
But we. the Daughters of the
American Revolution, do believe in
adequate preparedness: we indorsed
the Defense Act of 1920 and we still
stand for it. We believe in national
defense-the kind that defends only
and does not propose war, indulge in
imperialism or impose it's will upon
others. We stand for the dignity of
our Union and for the protection of
it's institutions. and we crave for it
a high place in the respect of the
other nations of the world.
Nation Must Take Its Place.
1--WE know that position which we
desire for our country cannot be at.
tanned unless it is able to take it's
place in the big parade of life and
keep step with the best prepared
nation there.
There is no longer any middle
ground, for aggresSorS have made
that impossible by raising the issue.
Therefore, the time has come when
every American citizen consciously or
unconsciously takes a stand, and in
SO doing commits himself TO one or
the other policy. Either he is for his
country defended and protected or he
is for his country defenseless and un-
protected.
1.-THE Daughters of the American
Revolution stand for the defense and
protection of the land of their birth
That may be militarism, but my per-

is good American common sense and
foresight.
''In days gone by we have said with
much pride of our organization that
it was kept free from religious and
political partisanship. In truth we
can still say that as far as tolerance
of belief is concerned we are as open

challenge but she will at the same
time ask some pertinent questions and
demand direct answers.
''Why this sudden frenzied attitude
Of obstruction and destruction? What
is to be gained by demolishing that
which is cound and sane and secure,
and Offering nothing in it's place but
mass of improved and possibly unproV-
able theories.
"The ordinary concerns of life are
not handled that way. A man does
not deliberately destroy his factory or
his home, and thus undo the effort of
years, without first providing himself
with something finer and better suited
to his needs.
Russia and Disarmament.
"Why do the disciples of Lenin so
earnestly advocate disarmament for

'Why the great protest-emanating
presumably from the same source
against military training in the schools
and camps of America, when, ac-
cording to published statement of
some months ago, the commissariat of
war in Russia issued an order for mil

order reads as follows.
" Under the order issued today, all
students are required to take 1no
hours instruction in military science
during their regular four-year course

course is finished, the men must serve

Are there not some palpable incon-

"Whv this sudden revolt of youth
against the old order, and from whence
comes the unwholesome influence that
is transforming idealism into cravings
for a strange new freedom!
'WelI may we stand appalled, at the
march of the new order and wen may
we wonder whittier 1t is Dounu anu
how it will end.
'The startling number of SUICIDES
among the college students of today

Wilson Jackson. popularly known
as master of hounds at the White
House. in which capacity he has
been called upon to care for Rebecca,
the raccoon, and all other presi-
Dental pets, gave a deep sigh OF
relief today when he learned that
the two lion cubs sent President
Coolidge by the City of johannesburg,
South Africa, are not to be brought
to the White House-not even for
q brief visit of inspection.
This was decided late yesterday aft
ernoon, when President Coolidge made
personal visit to the ZOO Where
his cubs were delivered upon their ar
rival in Washington the day previous.
He spent nearly Is minutes looking
at the young lions and spoke most
enthusiastically afterward of their
general appearance. But considering
their size, especially their huge paws,
and the length and business-like ap-
pearance of their teeth, he determined
then and there that it would be best
not to move them from the Zoo. Be-
fore seeing the animals he had a no.
ton that it might be interesting to
have the cubs brought to the rear
grounds of the White House, where
he could visit them occasionally and
watch them play. and probably play
with them himself. But these cubs
are 10 months old and after viewing
them the President abandoned this
idea.
Antelope Visits Dupont Circle.
Mr.. Coolidge formally accepted the
lions during his visit yesterday after
noon and Immediately presented them
to the Zoo. He will shortly decide
upon names for them. One is fe-
male and the other male.

nesburg to Mrs Coolidge. after being
