For War A Matter Requiring
Much Time.
SUBMARINES
Likely To Be Our First Menace
In Case Of War.
¥
-
The possibility, if not. indeed tbe
strong probability, that this country
may become embroiled in war, calls
attention to our utter unpreparednees
for this. Few thinking people need
any longer be beguiled by men of tbe
Bryao stamp who i is glibly about a
"million freemen s^i.ufciog to amis''
over ntgbt, regardless of the fact tbat
the "arms" to wbich two thirds of them
wonld necessarily have to "spring"
would be pitchforks or sometbiag of
the sort. Although trouble witb
Mexico bad been imminent for
months and months, yet wben it became necessary for troops to move,
they were held up for tome time till
so simple a thin« as motor trucks
could be provided.
Io a recent number of Collier's appears an article entitled "Mobilizing
America" wbich deals witb tbis
matter and which is certainly well
worth reading. We abstract a few
ideas from this that we trust will interest our readers. Especially we
think will tbey be interested, and
perhaps surprised, to learn to what
extent precautions may be made
against attacks by submarie:.s. The
article says iu smali part: Tbe tight- j up tbe study

OFFICERS CHOSEN
And Plans Considered For Next
Year's Work.
The Study Club held tbeir adjourned meeting with Mrs. John Jackson
Jr. on Tuesday. On roll call suggestions for next year's work were in
order aud nearly or quite all tbe
members had something to offer
along that line. Very likely the experiences of tbis year may render tbe
next year's work more profitable In
many ways. So faithfully and
acceptably had tbe present corps of
officers served tbat all were unanimously re-elected for next^rear.
The next meeting will be held witb
