_..."If we had. .spent, an abstract

and the United States—and told
him to get out of Manchuria," he
said, "we would not now be spend-ing
$1,790 a second on a World
War/'
Dr. Hubbard said that, the land
grab in Manchuria had set the
pace for the German and Italian
governments, as "it was the prst

"And I like it," he commented.
After leaving Freeport. Mr. Lu-ther
spent several weeks in a
training school in Washington
Since then, to use his own words.
"I've been all over the United
States," but the list of the places
where he has been is a military
secret. However, his opinion of the
Red Cross and the boys In the
service is no military secret.
As for the Red Cross, it's a
"grand organization and merits the
support of every American citizen_
I.don't think people.have half a
conception of the great work it is
doing in alleviating suffering and
as a morale booster for the sol-
'diers/'<
And "We have a great Army."
Larry proclaims enthusiastically.
"The morale ol the innn is high
and the officers are fine.--We're
going to win this war. It will take
somo—time, but' I've no doubt of
the nnal outcome/'"".
-The war probably .will be over
before T^i"ry_.i'.efurlis to Freeport
to again say hello to his friends.
