_ . kr . Rev. MA MATTHEWS] D.D..LL. D. SAVE THE NAVY. *1 11 ■ « *1 « Congress l s now trying to destroy the army and the navy. To de stroy either le a crime against com mon sense, patriotism, and courage. T$e spineless sentamentaligts have preached pacifism until Congress imagines that all causes of war have be#n destroyed. How foolish. We are only in a prolonged armistice. We are Just as sure of another war in or before 1930 as we are that the earth will turn on its axis to morrow. We need a strong army. The money i g not wasted. If you want economy put the army of in efficient public officials in the first line trenches and you will then re lieve the country of quite a tax bur den. We should save the army. How ever, if Congress destroys it we can build another one more quickly than we ; can build a strong navy. Save the navy at any cost.
