we una ourselves in the' midst of a world disturbed by great disaster and ablaze with terrible war; but our thought is now inevitably of new things about which formerly we gave ourselves little concern. We are thinking now chiefly of our relation with the rest of the world

We believe in political liberty, and founded our great government to obtain it, -the liberty of men and of peoples of men to choose their own lives and of peoples to choose. their own allegiance. Our ambition, also, all the world has knowledge of. It is not only to be free and prosperous ourselves but also to

Their training would take place in immediate association with the organized units of the regular army. It is not merely a matter of building battleships and cruisers and submarines, but also a matter of making sure that we shall have the adequate equipment of men and munitions and supplies for the vessels we

London, Nov. 6. Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, Great Britain's secretary of war, is mysteriously missing from London. It is officially announced that he has not resigned. He is absent "on public duty." It is believed by the public, therefore, that he has gone to the Balkans. Premier Asquith has taken charge of the war office during Earl -Kitchener's absence. This fact is regarded as especially significant. Prior to his departure, Earl Kitchener had a conferen
