I 1 ! 1 X I puuuc eye ana is piajcu i the limit. Preparedness is just now the great and overshadowing ques tion before tbe American people. Everybody is talking about it, either for or against. A few months ago monst-r peace pa rades wese held in the large cities, and war and preparedness against war were denounced on every band. Today you can fird scarcely a man who can tell you even tbe month in which one of those parades was held. They have been forgotten. A few weeks ago New York City held a monster preparedness parade, in which 145,000 people participa ted. Chicago immediately fol lowed suit with one of the great est parades in the history of this country, all in tbe interest of pre paredness. Other cities, large and small, all over tbe country caught the fever and paraded for preparedness. Governors pro claimed June 3 as Preparedness Day, and everybody marched and shouted for preparedness. But these, too, will be forgotten, for it is the way of the American people to do today and forget to morrow. And as it is in national affair?, so it is in the smaller confines of tbe local community.
