Germany With United States.

germany with United states.
Germany he continued, would act with
the United States in whatever course
she may take. Peace treaties can be
torn up when the crisis demands it. and
it is the will of the people after all that
| fixes the policy of any nation.
| President Hexamer declared that the
reason the alliance had grown from
| twenty-five members until today 1t rep
Americans who stand for the betterment
| of the nation was because the Germans
believed in the justice of their cause.
| He declared that he took his stand be-
cause he wanted to vindicate himself. as
| it was his own personal sentiments re-
garding the peace proposition which DIFF
| fered from the resolution submitted by
| the peace committee Of the alliance. He
was for peace when he saw the great
waste of expenditures SO burdensome on
| the people, and the support it will give
to Germany to break up the intentions
of England against their fatherland.
When Kurt voelckner. who presided as
purity Wiley the chief of the chemistry
bureau was awarded great demonstra-
ton. Delegates rose to their feet and
cheered him Justify.
DR.. Wiley preached new doctrine
the doctrine Of the German-American
strain, and then launched off into a
vigorous defense of the doctrine Of proper
nourishment. without which no nation.
| he declared. can ever establish itself.
ANY man that forgets his fatherland."
| DIR. Wiley said, lis not fit citizen Of any
| land" He declared that in this country,
| If there were any southerner who felt
ashamed that his father or he himself
| bore arms in defense Of the Confederate
cause. it would be a great disgrace to the
| country, and that 1t was the love of the
south for its memories that paved its
way to the freer spirit OF reunited
| country.
Why he Honors the Delegates.
| He told the delegates that he ad-
mired them, not because they are Ger
mans and Americans, but because they
are typical American citizens for the
love and patriotism they bore to their
native land. Il honor you for your
patriotism, for cheering President Taft,
but l honor you more for the love you
bear your fatherland."
Without another word Dr. Wiley
launched off in an appeal for better
nourishment. Unless nation is well
nourished 1t cannot accomplish much
he said. Don't believe In starvation diet.
The reason why the German nation is so
powerful and so influential is because 1t
has always believed In proper nourish-
ment. L believe in moderation in every
thing, but there should be always just a
| little more in excess, as a safeguard.
therefore,, the NAHUM tildI IS Wcil uOuI-
| ished, that has little in excess, is the
| nation that is going to prosper"
He declared that it was q good thing
to mingle with the blood of the Puritan
the blood of the German. The German
| has an academic freedom, and the blend
| ing of this stream with American blood
will produce the greatest nation on the
earth. and will bring to this country the
greatest race Of men that the world has
ever known.
The spirit of academic freedom and toll
Grafton, he declared, would make way for
| a greater America.
Commissioner Rudolph. who was the
first speaker of the evening, said:
Praises Their Courage.
."rhe German Americans and their near
est relatives and closest allies, the Irish
| Americans, of which ] am glad to see
several prominent local representatives,
present tonight, furnish probably the
most striking examples of men who have
tho courage to almost exile themselves
