Mallett 1s fle;‘flnxom. 5 reside on ‘West Side. other world leading powers. Even pacifists it that we are-not for war, but they contend that\ we are in no danger of invasion, said Chase. To prove this danger is to disarm them, and should convert them to the cause of preparedness. Let us consider a few possible pretexts for a guarrel. The edict has gone forth that we must create an American merchant marine, based upon two imperative and practical needs. First, in time of war our navy would be practically useless without it has a neval auxiliary. We have only to re- call the trip of our navy around the world, convoyed by hired foreign sup- Dply ships, to evidence this. England's naval supremacy of today is maintain- ed by her vast merchant fleet supply- ing the navy's needs. As sensible to cart a boiler to the coal mine for fuel s to bring a war vessel into port when it needs supplies. Again, how would We transport troops when necessary? England has already transported whole armies on her merchant ships. Second, a nation should control the distribution of its own goods, which can only be done to the best advan- tage by shipping in its own ships, and a naval auxiliary of merchant ships would give us this control, to say noth- ing of the advertising value in dollars and cents from the Stars and Stripes flying at the stern of the =hips carry- ing such gonds. Secretary McAdoo has stated that our Gaily freight bill to foreign car- riers is about $1,000,000. What Modern Warfare is Based On. Modern warfare is based on the struggle for the dollar or its equiva- lent. When this government adopts measures which will restore our mer- dhant marine, it is fair to assume that. those nations which now profit the most from our commerce will protest. The attempt to send our own ships through our own Prnama canal free of tolls is one instance of this. The 5 per cent. preferential rebate on goods carried in American ships is another. Threse were diplomatic victories. When the other fellow is determined to get what he wants, and diplomacy fails, what comes next? Let us consider another. source of danger, and first take to heart the fact that foreign nations are not fond of us. At the present time we are only politely at peace with most of them. ‘When the present war is over with it will.be a sorry and a hopeless home- coming for the men mnow in the trenches. The war debts which they must face will be staggering, and the future will look hopeless. Is it unrea- sonable for many thinking men-to.pre- dict internal revolts against such bur- dens? Is it not also reasonable to fear that some foreign rulers may divert the attention of their people from ‘home problems to the defenseless wealth of the mation of farmers, mer- chantd and manufacturers across the sea? America’s Position a Trying One. The position of America is a trying one. To please one of the belligerents is but to offend another. Not one of them considers us neutral, besides which they have individual grievances against us. England, France and Russia reason that the violation of Belgium should have brought us into ®he conflict. France feels that we are ungrateful, considering the assistance she gave us in Colonial days. Russia reminds us that she was a friend to the union during the Civil war and resents our interference at her mistreatment of the Jews. Austria_and Germany place the moral responsibility for the protracted struggle on our shoulders, owing to our furnishing munitions to the allies. The Japanese are a proud race, and when we continue to discriminate be- tween the Occidentai and the Oriental we are surely inviting trouble from that source. Canada makes the same discrimination, and Japan makes no Drotest. What does it mean? Japan covets the Hawaiian Islands, with Pearl harbor, second to no harbor in the world. It is claimed there are some 60,000 veteran Japanese soldiers in those islands today, and not long since it was reported that when in- vestigations were made in volcanic craters back of Honolulu where we had heavy guns mounted, tunnels and trenches were found with which to blow up our guns. ‘The Monroe Doct: The Monroe doctrine is dear to_ the heart of every true American. Con- sidering the motive of the great Euro- pean conflict of to say which is large- Iy one of conquest for territory, for us to continue to maintain this doc- trine against European aggression fur- nishes a very probable and possible cause for war. On the other hand, if we forget the asmonition of President Monroe and permit permanent aggression, we at once find ourselves facing the same conditions which are responsible for the European war, for if they cannot get along amicably on the other side of the water, the warring nations never can here. We cannot afford to trust any na- tion during the stress of war. We are even in many instances justified in_questioning the motives which in- spire_them to make war. The word expediency seems to govern their sec- tions. I have talked with both Eng- lishmen and Germans, only to have them admit violations of international law, as it was expedient for them to do so, and they would pay up after- wards. We are compelled to submit to this course until we are prepared to resist it. The fighting nations have all at diffe times claimed the Al- mighty as_an ally, afld have rendered thanks to Him for victories, and while we will continue to likewise trust in Him, we shall keep our powder dry, and for the Bryans and the Fords to preach that preparedness invites war is lttle short of treason to our gov- ernment. Believes in Arbitration. at 11 o'clock. Rev., 3 ewett City officiated The American Defense Society be- lieves in arbitration, and it takes due cognizance of the fact that we have such treaties with most of the war- ring natioms, and on the other hand most of them have such treaties with each other, and still they are locked in_a death strugsgie. ‘The American Defense society holds that- when a nation with whom we have an arbitration treaty shows a disposition to disregard such treaty, we should such nation that we intend to live up to our signature, strong enough to the colors at home and how often we hear one of them refer with pride to the fact that he has been a member of the King's Own or the Queen's Own, and we want every man in this country to take the same pride in be- longing to Uncle Sam's Own. How Preparedness Is Received. Before closing permit me to relate two_instances showing both extremes of the reception accorded to a man in_this work of preparedness. Some few months ago while hold- ing a meeting in Louisville at the ‘Seelbach hotel, Congressman Swagar openly atfacked me, among other things stated that he re- sented New York coming down there to tell them how and what to think. Sherley I had _previously gress. York, he felt sure tioned it's origin, as it American issue. up to Appomattox. was the other extreme. would all be up here to help.

Daniel Finn of Norwich, who has been at the point of death at the Lawrence hospital, New London, for the skull, received by being struck by an automobile, owned and driven by Elijah L. Deaton of New London, is rapidly improving and his recovery is now expected. 4 About two weeks ago Finn's condi- Hon was so critical that hope of sav: ing his 1life had practically been abandoned. Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich went to New Lon- don to make his ante-mortem state- ment, but was unable to get it becatise of his condition. At that time It seem- ed_impossible that he would live. He lingered in this condition for two or three days and then there was a change for the better. He began to show a slight improvement and from that time, his condition has improved slowly but steadily until now there seems to be but little doubt of his ultimate recovery, unless some unex- cted complication develops. o OBITUARY.
