America Is Peaceful “America has always boen a peace able nation. We have never sought war. We have wi avoided en- tangling alliances w the of Europe. We have naver engaged tn war, with possibly one exception, for the purpese of aggrandizement or with imperialistic designs, and yet, during our comparatively brief bistory as a nation, many times the call to arms has sounded, and ow boys have gome forth to battle for the Stars and Stripes.
