 "And what has become of the goading and nagging attempts to stir up i'll feel ing here and there, ascribing to the Ger man government designs to intrude as a land-grabber into the American sphere and attributing to us here ruffianiy itching to measure in combat the new war fleets of the two countries as if such a combat were only a football game between college students Has nor every sensible person long ago dismiss- ed these goadings as puerile twaddle! Likewise the. well-worn legend or threatening anti-American coalition or the continental powers of Europe at the beginning of our Spanish war-a coan- tion said to have been under the leader ship or at least participated in by Ger many, from which danger some myster- ious Providence had interferred to save us-as recently decided somewhat glor- ious death"
 MT. Schurz was followed by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia On- iversty. Frederick W. Holls and Rudolph Keppler. One of the most enjoyable fes- lures of the evening was the singing ot well known songs including number or German and American selections by an especially trained chorus of one hundred of the Liederkranz club.
