Many crickets are hard on vege-

accommodating digestive apparatus,
almost any type of food chewable is
acceptable. They are not above
eating their weaker brethren.
All crickets are provided with long,
strong hind legs which are devel-
oped for jumping. Thus equipped
they can get out of the reach Of
enemies with ease.
The musical notes we hear, espe-
cially upon hot days and nights, are
made from what we are pleased to
call their fiddleS. In reality, the
teeth of the legs are rubbed swiftly
against the wing-cases and produce
the sound. The hotter the weather,
the more gleeful the song, or more
correctly stated, the musical rendi-
ton in honor of summer.

J. Drexel Biddle, his wife

escape yesterday when a
German warplane bombed his su-

THE fact the bombs were releas-

the uttermost what they believe to
be the encroachment on liberty and
independence of small states. For
thev feel that this encroachment
ultimately would mean encroach-
ment on their own liberty and in
dependence.
The outcome of the conflict now
starting is problematical as 1t was
at the start of the World War. But
the allied powers unquestionably
are better prepared than in 1914
to meet situation of which they
were forwarned.
They have been feverishly and
efficiently preparing for any even
tuality since their humiliating re-
treat at Munich year ago. The
thrust at Poland did not catch them
unawares as did the onslaught fol-
lowing the assassination of Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
in 1914.

with the best information in the
world. think things through. The
most dangerous enemies of Ameri-
can peace are those who, without
well-founded information on the
whole broad subject of the past,
the present and the .uture, under
take to speak with authority, to
talk in terms of glittering general
tiles, to give TO the nation assur-
ances or prophecies which are of
little present or future value.
myself cannot and do not pro-
phesy the course of events abroad
and the reason is that because
have of necessity such complete
picture of what is going on in every
part of the world, I do not dare to
do so. And the other reason Is
that I think it Is honest for me to
be honest with the people of the
United States.
I cannot prophesy the immediate
economic effect of this new war on
our nation, but do say that no
American has the moral right to
profiteer at the expense either Of
his fellow citizens or of the men,
women and children who are living
and dying in the midst of the war
in Europe.
Some things we do know. Most
of us in the United States believe
in spiritual values. The most of
us. regardless of what church we
belong to, believe in the spirit of the
New Testament-a great teaching
which opposes itself to the use of
force, of armed force, of marching
armies and falling bombs. The
overwhelming masses of our people
seek peace-peace at home, and the
kind of peace in other lands which
will not jeopardize peace at home.
We have certain ideas and ideals
of national safety and we must act
to preserve that safety today and to
preserve the safety of our children
in future years.
That safety is and will be bound
up with the safety of the western
hemisphere and of the seas ad-
jacent thereto. We seek to keep
war from our firesides by keeping
war from coming to the Americas.
For that we have historic precedent
that goes back to the days of the
administration of President George
Washington. 1t is serious enough
to live in a world that is torn by
wars on other continents Today
they affect every American home.
tt is our national duty to use every
effort to keep them out of the
Americas.
Simple Plea
And at this time let me make the
simple plea that partisanship and
selfishness be adjourned; and that
national unity be the thought that
underlies all others.
This nation will remain a neutral
nation, but I cannot ask that every
American remain neutral in
thought as well. Even neutral
has a right to take account of
facts. Even a neutral cannot be
asked to close his mind or his con-
science.
I have said not once but many
times that 1 have seen war and that
l hate war. I say that again and
again.
hope the United States will keep
out of this war. I believe that it
will. And I give you assurances
that every effort of your govern
ment will be directed toward that
end
AS long as it remains within my
power to prevent, there will be no
blackout of peace in the United
States,
