told YOU then that as soon as our
troops got further on In their
training and better equipped with
their weapons and particularly If
we got into war and they realized
the responsibility which rested on
them, there would no longer be
any question of their morale.
l think that no one of you who
comes in contact with our grow
ing armies today will raise that
question with me at present.
Whether our men are in far of

posts or whether they are strain
ing to get themselves fit for battle
on the training grounds at home,
their morale has become superb.

complish the many tasks which

ton, w Va, admitted they lied when
they previously testified they knew

with the two witnesses who perjured
themselves
