man. Mr.. Koch tnen Introduced Mr..
Lorsntz who delivered a short
speech In German, and he was
given close astrntion and his remarks
brought forth enthusiastic applause
He handled the important political is
sues in a brief but eloquent manner
At the close Of his remarks
Mr.. JULIUS POLLOCK
was given the floor. Owing to lack Of
time. Mr.. Pollock did not enter into
discussion of the political issues OF the
day, but he did say that ne was not

BODY OF men in the world and plead for

verge OF ruin.
