The Present Military Situation in the United States (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Present Military Situation in the United StatesThe following pages are, substantially, a reprint of an address recently delivered in Portland, Maine, at the request of the Economic Club of that city.I hope that they may, in some small degree, help to persuade the civilians, the voters, the "plain people" of Lincoln, the lovers of peace and all its infinite benefits, to give calm but thoughtful consideration to this question of adequate national defense. It is eminently worthy of their consideration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
