Sacrifice Necessary. "It Is regrettable that a greater number of business men with vision do not make the sacrifice needed under public life during pence, and give their countrymen the benefit of practical business experience in the managership of both national and International affairs, Instead of leav ing those Sutles to the professional office seeker and the political sooth saver.

There Is a necessity of an adequate force to guard against the unseen enemy in our midst Those are avowed on the destruction of American government In fnvor of some form of communistic form of government. Many who cry out for disarmament foolishly think the world will follow. Others are led astray by propaganda. All such tendencies are dangerous. So we really, need this small loyal army of ours, not gJone as a nucleus but as something that can be relied on In a pinch. Preacher Says Pastor Hall Told Fears for His Life New Brunswick. N. J-.
