National Defence Mass Meeting

A mass meeting for the purpose of stimulating interest in the cause of national defense will be held in Boston on Thursday, October 21. The meeting will be presided over by Governor Walsh. Among the speakers will be Senator Henry Cabot Lodge '71, and Professor R. N. Johnston of the History department. An effort is also to be made to have Secretary of War Garrison attend. All the Massachusetts congressmen will be invited.

In addition to the mass meeting, which will be held in Tremont Temple on the evening of October 21, there is to be during the day a demonstration of practical field work on Boston Common, along the lines of what was done during the recent Governor's Conference. Another interesting and instructive feature will be a demonstration of the lack of preparedness in the form of an exhibit which may become permanent and which will show in concrete form how lacking this nation is in preparedness to defend itself in case of attack by another nation.
