1914 AND 1918.

Uunder the simple caption,- “A Deadly Parallel,” the National Republican congressionad committee gave out the following: From President Wilson’s message to congress of Dec. 8, 1914. “More than this (preparedness for national defense) proposed at this time, permit me to say, "would mean merely that we had lost our self-pos-session ; that we had been thrown off our balance by a war with which we have nothing to do, whose causes can not touch us, whose very existence gives us opportunities for friendship and disinterested service which should make impossible to us any hostile preparation for trouble.” ' / From Vice-President Marshall’s address in Madison Square, New York, Sept. 28, 1918: . “I came here partly to make an apoligy—an apology for any attitude during almost two years and a half of that fateful conflict, an apology that a God-fearing man in the twentieth century of civilisation could have dreamed that any nation, . any people, or any man could be neutral when right was fighting wrong.”
