Do you indeed value that which has come to us? Are you glad that the wooded trail has become a broad high- way, populous with traffic, bearing thantfold devices which would vastly have terrified the copper-colored en- gineers .of the Mohegans and whose drivers would have been promptly hanged for witchcraft by our forbears. Some of them ought to be barzéd any- how. Think of this road of ours, of the thriving towns along its path, of the hum of industry, of the farms and or- chards, of the human hapbiness en- joyed and the human sorrow endured on either hand: think of the soldlers, the statesmen, the scholars who have walked or ridden rorth and eouth, of the humble folk yet proud, of the Iit- tle childrén whobe feet have pressed the way. -Is all this not worth pre- serving? Well: what are you going to do about it? Can we not realize that we “are actually iMvcived in warfare with an enemy more powertil than any hitherto confronted by any na- tion? Are we not ashamed that we have for three vears sunned ourseives behind the strong protection of the British navy? Shall we not try to remove that reproach? I tell you we are at war, war, war. It is by no means certdin that these hills will not presently resound to the roar of hostile cannon, yonder smiling sea bring us a swarm of alien_and cruel foes, our Mohegan trail be ®edden by a march- ing enemy.

Though the pen be mightier than the sword, it is cer- tain that the typewriter is not mightier than the submarine. Where is the blaze of enthusiasm which swept the country when Lin- coln called: which for years filled and kept full the ranks of our patriot army? Where is it. now, when the na- tional guard and the navy are calling aloud for men and cannot gef them? Is Israel Putnam forgotten? English- men, is Burke forgotten? Is Lafayette forgotten, you of French descent? Is Garibaldi forgotten, my Italian fellow citizens?
