FUOLKE WARNS

(Continued from page 1.)

erful Instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all jtlmes ready for war.'

i . Army Is Small. I "Such was the advice of Washingjton. How far have we observed it? We have an army now available wlthln onr own territory of 30,000 men : and we have a military reserve of sixteen men! Our army Is barely ! enough to guard our Mexican border and act as an internal police force in cases of emergency. We would be absolutely helpless before any considerable invasion by a foreign power. ;. "America has twice been Invaded : first during the Revolution for which 'at the outset we were utterly unprci pared. It was a struggle of eight years in which our armies were often defeated and reduced to desperate straits but in which, under the superb ; leadership of the man whose memory i we honor today, we finally drove the invader from our shores. "For the second invasion in the war of 1812 we were equally unprepared. ;Our American troops were disgracefully routed and our capital city of Washington was seized and burned 'After two years of warfare" the struggle was a draw and a - treaty was signed which omitted all reference to the cause of the contest. The facilities for invading America today are infinitely greater than they were in fl776 or in 1812 and our means of deifense are proportionately far less than they were at that time. Foulks Sees Mobilization. "T v in Oermanv when war was

declared last summer and saw part

-of the mobilization. In less man a had five millions of

'men under arms. The number since

I that time has been greatly -increased, perhaps doubled. The forces of the allies are far larger than those of Germany. Less than ten per cent of the .military strength on either side could 'absolutely crush out all resistance 'here in America and leave our great f citiea the prey to the invading power, a extort just so many billions of I tribute as they might require and to rule at their own sweet will. Our only hope would be to intercept them on (the sea. How far are we prepared for J: this? "When Roosevelt was president, our navy was at one time second only to that of England. At the present time it is quite different. When the British 'Dreadnought' was launched in

1906 naval warfare was revolutionized Instead of a miscellaneous assortment of small and middle sized projectiles it had none but the largest. It could stand off beyond the range of other ships and cannonade them at will, while its heavier armor protection and greater speed made it invincible from attack by other battleships. Since that time the dreadnoughts, the battle cruisers and the submarines are the only things 01 value in a. navy in a fight with a first class power. Last July the office of intelligence at Washington published a statement that England had 2'J dreadnoughts built and 17 building, n total of 46; Germany had 17 built and 11 building, a total of 28. The United States had only 8 built and 4 building, a total of 12. The exact number of German submarines cannot be stated. They are manufactured in secret. But one who was engaged in their manufacture reports that there . are now about 300. The number is certainly very great and the number of British submarines can hardly be less. We have now 38 and 19 building and only 18 of these are stationed on th$ Atlantic coast. "Now whether Germany wins or the Allies win in the present war what chance of resistance would our fleet have against the victor? And since that victor is certain to control the merchant marine of the ocean as well as its fleet what possible impediment

Doctors and various remedies failing to help her, we lost all hope of her recovery. Dr. Jones' Liniment having been highly recommended, we tried it as a last resource. Nine bottles entirely cured her." ' V. H. KISTLER, 333 Woodward Ave., Atlanta, Ga. S3K.

could we place against the transportation and landing either in Canada or the United States or Mexico of just as many troops, arms and munitions ot war as it may see fit to send? "We are the richest nation in the world. We offer the strongest temptation or booty to an invader and we have at the same time the greatest resources for providing for our own defense if we only see fit to use them. What would t Washington say, if from the boundaries of the spirit land, he could penetrate the supine indiference and neglect which has enveloped our great country upon this most vital of all questions for the maintenance of our national life? Would he not look down in solemn reprobation upon the unworthy descendants of the veterans of Bunker Hall and Valley Forge and Yorktown who have taken' so littlo thought to preserve the precious inheritance which he and his companions bequeathed to us?"
