While we want peace there are

Therefor the United States must

concluded his address Tuesday

on. the subject, "Present Lessons

has a dictator ready to force that
country into war for cause. Rus

army in history, with the avowed
purpose of wrecking other exist

Beard graphically reviewed the
setting for the last war, saying
the occasion was the murder of
the crown prince in Serbia bnt the
real causes were the same forces
he characterised as now regnant.
He laid most blame to Germany
