Chicago Harold [[?]] - 11/15/25

This picture, printed in connection with the trial of Colonel Mitchell, accused of telling incompetents that they ARE incompetent, is not pleasant to look at. 

It shows New York or any other great American city as it MAY look some day. 

More than that, it shows New York or any other American city as it WOULD LOOK under attack in modern warfare. 

This will not happen RIGHT AWAY, of course. It may NEVER happen. Let us hope it will not, for the kind of government we get, which makes a specialty of mushy sentimentality, always keeping UNPREPARED, would be in bad shape to meet this kind of calamity. But this picture ought to make every American think, including especially the gentlemen responsible for putting Colonel Mitchell on trial because HE WARNED THE UNITED STATES.
