It Is wicked for a Christian nation to be neutral between right and wrong. Do these prattlers of know or have they forgotten that the Christian religion itself would have been exterminated by the Mohammedans who Invnded Europe hud it not been for the military genius of Charles Martel and the sword of Sobleskl? Your national commander, James A. Drain, advocates a .principle of preparedness which Is sound, sensible and Just. Ho urges the enactment of a universal draft law which would place on all citizens an equal obligation In time of war man power to tight, man power to work, factory power to produce and money power to finance. This Is the best peace measure and the most practical preparedness measure ever suggested, and every loyal American will continue to advo-vat- e it until congress adopts It.
