before returning to New York“We are c n the ihr*ehold of war,”

began Mr Rtimson "Our country

Mr Stimscn said that back of thisthere was the struggle between aulocrary and democracy Into such a

Struggle, he Insisted, a man or •»

nation may well go with a lofty faithand a burning ardor.

The speaker admitted that it wasa serious thing to go to war with

Mr fiumson said our fleet was not
