Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Granite Monthly a New Hampshire Magazine, Vol. 50 of 13: Devoted to History, Biography, Literature and State Progress Elsewhere in this issue of the Granite Monthly, appears a timely article upon "New Hampshire´s Contribution to Naval Warfare," from the pen of Col. John H. Bartlett of Portsmouth - timely because of the fact that shipbuilding, is one of the great industries upon which the Nation must depend, not only for success in the great war in which it is engaged with the liberty-loving nations of Europe for the suppression of German Caesarism, but for its prosperity and progress in the days after the war when its commercial interests will be of predominating importance. It is but fair to say that the Granite Monthly is glad indeed to be able to present an article upon this subject, at this time, from the pen of one who holds so prominent a position in the public eye in New Hampshire, as does Colonel Bartlett. Many men of the State have given much time and effort to the work of arousing the patriotic spirit of its people, and inspiring a through realization of the great crisis in the world´s history now facing our own and all other civilized peoples. Governor Keyes has done his fully duty in this regard, and the active members of the Public Safety and National Defense organizations, the Food and Fuel Administrations, and other organized agencies, have been actively and effectively at work in their different spheres to bring New Hampshire into the front line among the States of the Union in the proper preparation for, and the efficient conduct of, the great war, so far as American Participation therein is concerned; and it is safe to say, in view of what the State has already accomplished, the spirit of service and sacrifice which its people generally have exhibited, and the splendid record which the gallant young soldiers of the Granite State are already making on the battle-front in Europe, that their efforts have not been in vain. We believe it is not over-stating the case, however, when we say that no man in New Hampshire has been heard so generally, and none to better effect, in public addresses throughout the State for the past year, along patriotic lines, arousing the people to the exigencies of the situation they are facing, as has Col. John H. Bartlett of Portsmouth. Colonel Bartlett has devoted his time and abilities unsparingly for many months to public speaking along this line. He has been heard on anniversary occasions, before woman´s clubs, Grange meetings, board of trade gatherings and church organizations, day and night, in all sections of the State; he has been speaking to the people - men and women old and young - impressing upon all the magnitude of the great work to be done to suppress the monster of "Kaiserism" and make the world safe for liberty, democracy and humanity, and inspiration all to do their full share of that work, for all of which he is entitled to the grateful thanks of the people.
