Therefore the signing of the Armistice was not an ad based on a sound scientific principle, because it did not harmonize with the will of the Father of the Fniverse. as Hatall was not defeated and this act gave him an opportunity to reorganize his army and drag the world into a more deadly conflict.

As proof of this statemeu I wish to call your attention to what would have happened if an Aimistlce would have been signed dui mg the second or third year of the Civil War. All the blood shed would have been shed In vain Ihhuusc the war would have had tu Im- fought over again and our uation would have been divided, but siu<e this war, was fought to the finish and Satan * was defeated, this did not keep our nation out of future •uiiflicls and we later found our nation euIgaged in the Spanish American | war aud I lie so called last World's war. * Since our present wai is the second chapter being written In the liook of the lasi Wuild* War It la impossible for me io understand how the Versailles Treaty was the I <auao of this conflict because ibis i I treaty was not in exlstauce w belli ■ the last war was started and since' this wai Is a continuation of the last war. iH-iause Satan was uut defeati-d and there was not a Vic-; lory for either side, the only possible |iart that the Versailles Treaty ' .•ould play in this <onfli* • would 1 Im- an outlet fur the cause that existed befoie the war was slatted in l»H. if the reader* of thia column ar* willing to argue that the present conflict Is a • oiitiuuatiou of the last World * war as there was no victory, and since the Vnited, States was engaged in the war which was stopped by the signing of an Armistice, then we must ] argue that our nation has never gotten out of the conflict, aud w<will be playing our respective part In the second chapter us the World war diama which is uuw going on X Y Z - —w- - —-
