are rushing preparedness and have
practically completed plans for the
mobilization of the commercial, in
dustrial and military forces of the
nation.

suggestions which will place extra
ordinary material and personel at
the disposal of the government in
case of need. j

the European war, it is stated, the i
plans have been consumated with i

country is to be placed at once ac- |
cording to these plans on a war
footing.
