is his conscience. The whole lecture
was woven around these three forces
in the making of a well-rounded lite.
Favors Preparedness :
Just once did the speaker digress
from his set lecture long .enough to put
in a strong word in favor of military
and yi&val preparedness fpr defense.
Ilia (hearers gathered .that Mir- Ben
nett is an enthusiastic supporter of
President Wilson's program," although
he did not say so in so many words.
Also they gathered that 4ie had once
bee, in line with Bryan, and pou a
closer study of the question has come
around to tie view of the advocates of
preparedness.; He took the tiaw that
ihe best "yeimreitneiBr'tgalnwrSrar is
preparedness for war that if this
Nation would avoid a conflict with the
Nations of Europe it must let the
Nations of Kirope know tliat it is
preparol to fight and to defend quick
ly and successfully the country's rights
on land and sea. He thought if
nothing-, was done to build up a bet
ter army anil navy the time would
com and would not be long in com
ing, after the present war in Jiuiope
end, when this country will lie forced
to meet scan ono or two of iue pow

tha( he would prefer that his toys go

about the art of warfare after having
bad militniry training, than to go into
